“Where else but Wareham?”

This marvelous cottage is the perfect place for a cozy getaway. I went for a weekend trip with my mates and this house was ideal. Warm and welcoming, this house became a home almost instantly. Minutes away from the supermarket / local shops and a short 2 minute walk from the Kings Arms pub, Ammonite cottage is a lovely house in a lovely spot in this lovely corner of England. Now, as a 6'3"+ individual, I really appreciate the fact that I could stand bolt upright in the shower, as well as lie ...

This marvelous cottage is the perfect place for a cozy getaway. I went for a weekend trip with my mates and this house was ideal. Warm and welcoming, this house became a home almost instantly. Minutes away from the supermarket / local shops and a short 2 minute walk from the Kings Arms pub, Ammonite cottage is a lovely house in a lovely spot in this lovely corner of England. Now, as a 6'3"+ individual, I really appreciate the fact that I could stand bolt upright in the shower, as well as lie properly in the bed. Highly, highly recommend this area and this house. Having not heard of Wareham before this trip, I am certainly glad to have discovered this gem of a location. The owners of Ammonite Cottage can definitely expect me to be booking to stay again sooner rather than later!

“Property had not been cleaned prior to our arrival.”

We are really sorry that the cottage was not cleaned when you first arrived, this was a mistake by our cleaner. As soon as we heard we got her to drive straight over and clean the property, which she did I believe in less than half an hour. We are very sorry this spoiled the beginning of your holiday.

“Lovely house in convenient location.”

Clean and everything you need for comfortable stay.

“Fantastic cottage, lots of space, impeccable cleanliness and decor.”

Lots of little extras in the well equipped house made it very comfortable. Will recommend to friends

“The dishwasher was dirty and didn’t work , the television kept losing the signal and when I phoned about it I was told that when people are on holiday they don’t watch television but as we were out every day till quite late all we wanted to do was relax in the evening and watch the tv .”

The down stairs toilet was not fixed to the wall and the drain outside the patio doors smelled terrible so I had to buy disinfectant to put down it so we could have the doors open T.Worthington

Thank you for your feedback, We apologise for the delay in resolving the dishwasher issue for you, unfortunately this was due to the bank holiday weekend, further to your feedback we have now added a booster to the television which has increased the signal. We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the toilet and the drains, had we been aware of this during your stay we would have been more than happy for these issues to be resolved for you.

“Wareham is a great place from which to explore the area - loads of good things to do in very easy reach.”

It's also a nice place itself and has some lovely little independent shops for wandering round the streets. And Ammonite Cottage is a lovely place to stay. It's clean, comfortable and well equipped - and close to shops for the all important pint of milk for the first cup of tea on arrival. The parking places are very useful - although I wouldn't like to park a large car / people carrier there - bit tight for getting in and out. And the garden furniture means that the garden becomes another room for nice days.

“Lovely character cottage,”

Lovely, very clean comfy cottage with a welcoming bottle of wine. On site parking a real asset. Note the antique fire insurance plaque above the front door. Will leave you to investigate further! Really close to the town centre with a good selection of eating establishments and lots of pubs with real ales! Good bus services to surrounding towns. Good for bird watching at Arne RSPB reserve.

“Beautiful cottage”

What an amazing place to stay! Spotlessly clean, super comfy beds and perfect central location in Wareham. We had a wonderful long weekend here. The pretty garden is a lovely feature too. Great facilities and so much character - we highly recommend.
Mr Pontin April 2019

“Wareham is a great holiday base with fantastic scenic walking nearby and the town has everything you need .”

Ammonite is a comfortable cottage with charming bedrooms and well equipped Kitchen. The extension at the back is perfect to accommodate boots and outdoor clothing and there is a pleasant garden equipped to eat outside. Only one bath/shower room is a limitation and there are low doorways to be aware of. We try to get recycling right but there was not enough info, We worried about traffic noise but it was fine. Overall we had an excellent holiday and would like to do it again.

“The cottage was very comfortable and the best equipped house we have ever been in.”

The position is great as well. Very nice week
Ms Cannon March 2019

“We had a fantastic week at ammonite cottage.”

The welcome pack was really helpful and written in a very friendly way. The location was perfect, nice town and plenty of nearby activities for the kids and us to enjoy. The stairs are tricky for the very young, but with supervision they were fine.
Mr Marsh December 2018

“1/ A very pleasant holiday was ruined by 2 Us not being warned when booking that the new tenants were coming at 13.”

30.On our instruction letter we were told we had to be out by11.00. So can you explain why the cleaners were knocking on the door at 09.35.You must realise that up until 11.00 was part of our paid for holiday.So that day was ruined. Please do not ignore this complaint & imform me what you intend to do about it,you must be aware that we are old customers of yours. I await your reply Mr Peter Marsh

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed your holiday. I am unsure why the cleaning company turned up at the property at 9.35am as instructions were for 11am so this will have been a misunderstanding by the cleaning company and this will be picked up and addressed by Sykes and I. Once again, I do apologise for this minor disruption on your last morning and it would be nice to see you book with us again in future. Owner relations

“Charming cottage in delightful town of Wareham.”

This cottage was so perfect and the communication with owner was brilliant.
Eloise W June 2018

“Fantastic place”

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and so clean when we arrived. Each room had a gorgeous little theme and everything was so well thought out. The location was fab with the river close and the bus to Swanage very quick for a day to the beach. The garden was gorgeous and extremely well kept and this is a lovely place to go with friends. I can imagine that it’s very cosy in the winter too and the people in Wareham are so welcoming. Best holiday I’ve had in a long time!!!

“A very beautiful cottage”

I had a wonderful experience in this cottage. It is in a very scenic location and will really feel like a home for however long you stay there. I would definitely recommend!

“Fantastic house in a great location.”

We had an amazing holiday in this beautiful house which is full of character, very clean and family friendly. We slept in the Botanical room and the bed was extremely comfortable. I enjoyed cooking (when we weren't eating out) in the well equipped kitchen. The location is ideal, close to everything we needed, good walks, great pubs, lovely bakery, shops and many places of interest. A trip to the traditional old school cinema, The Rex, is a must. Had a great time on the beach (one of many close by), a lovely walk from the very interesting Tyneham Village, with the children even having a dip in the sea (in early April)! Wish we could have stayed longer! Would love to visit Ammonite Cottage again and explore this stunning area some more.

The property

Situated within the delightful market town of Wareham is this fine, mid-terrace cottage.

Set over three floors, Ammonite Cottage is a Grade II listed building with plenty of period features and character touches.

After a day of hunting for fossils along the Jurassic Coast, relax and unwind in the sitting room, featuring an alluring woodburning stove to keep you toasty during those colder months.

Wander on through to the country-style kitchen, boasting a splendid Rayburn cooker and a selection of worktop appliances to assist your cooking requirements.

Just off the kitchen is the classy dining room, providing ample seating to enjoy a sumptuous feast over a well-deserved glass of wine.

Completing the downstairs is the delightful sun room which offers a quiet spot to enjoy a good read or to simply take in the view of the garden.

The two upper floors host the four bedrooms, sleeping up to seven people.

The first floor is occupied by a king, twin and single, all furnished in a neutral colour tone and are served by lavish bathroom with elegant roll-top bath.

Discover the double bedroom on the second floor, resting under the eaves of the roof with Velux windows providing some natural light.

Outside there is a series of lawn and patio areas where you can delight with a cold refreshment as you plan how to spend the rest of your break.

Take a walk around the Wareham Walls to find out about Viking attacks, civil war skirmishes and gruesome executions, while the museum is a great place to learn about the town’s connections with T.E.

Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia).

A break to Dorset wouldn't be complete without a visit to the superb Jurassic Coast, home to numerous award-winning beaches and majestic clifftop walks you won't want to miss out on.

A delightful base placed excellently for a break on the South Coast.

About the location

WAREHAM

Corfe Castle 5 miles; Poole 9 miles; Swanage 11 miles;

Wareham, affectionately known as the ‘Gateway To The Purbecks’ is an ancient Dorset waterside market town. Situated between the River Frome & and quaintly named River Piddle, its charming riverside location makes the town a popular holiday destination. Dating back to Saxon times, the town was once surrounded by walls, and became an important port with boats bringing supplies up the River Frome from nearby Poole harbour. Today, the river provides a great playground, you can hire a boat from the attractive quayside and chug your way down the stream, take one of the regular organised boat trips, browse the colourful Saturday market or simply just enjoy an ice cream or a drink relaxing on the Quayside. Whilst seasonally there are also numerous popular events taking place beside the river. A short drive takes you to the Arne peninsula jutting out into Poole Harbour, a designated RSPB reserve, where you can stroll down to the water’s edge, taking in glimpses of the impressive bird population and often viewing some of the resident deer. The friendly seaside resort of Swanage is also easily accessible, where you can experience a traditional family-friendly day out on the beach, or take the coastal path and stop off for refreshment at Durlston Country Park. A real treat is to drive to nearby Corfe Castle and take the vintage steam railway to Swanage. Wareham offers visitors a super Dorset holiday destination at anytime of the year.
