“A wonderfully well equipped cottage in the middle of Wareham.”

Had everything we needed. Was a special place to stay, and felt quite special.

Had everything we needed. Was a special place to stay, and felt quite special. Walking distance to shops, pubs and restaurants. Loads to do locally and fantastic walks on coast path. Would definitely recommend to others.

“Ammonite Cottage is very a beautiful 18th century cottage, situated In the charming town of Wareham, which has a great selection of stores, takeaways, and all that you’d need within walking distance.”

The house was spacious, well presented, had lots of equipment to make sure our holiday was as convenient as possible, especially with COVID-19 and the garden was a lovely space to use. One thing I would point out, the stairs are very tight and small and anyone whose not to steady on their feet might struggle. Majority of the sights and places we wanted to visit were in no more than 11 mile radius, so if you’re the main driver, this is a big plus point. We’re definitely coming back!

“A lovely cottage that we would recommend to anyone.”

Parking tight but doable for two cars. Splendid location for exploring Dorset and Wareham is lovely in itself. It is difficult to critise the cottage whose owners have made the best of the current Covid 19 situation. We were so pleased to get away after all we have all been through this year.

“We had a really lovely holiday at Ammonite Cottage, it is a beautiful house well located conveniently close to shops, pubs and local amenities.”

The cottage is decorated to a high standard and is very comfortable with a well maintained garden. Every thought has been given to comfort and ease by the owners, they are very helpful and friendly if you need to contact them. The village of Wareham is picturesque with stunning river walks close by. A great holiday, thank you!

“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 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!

“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.

“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!!!

“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.
