  • "The location of this property is excellent, bang on the high street."

    That is the best selling point for this property. We would call this 'The Nice House' rather than 'The Delightful House'. It was missing so many of the nice touches we've become accustomed to with Sykes Properties. There is much to improve on to make this a Delightful House and I'm sure the owner will get there with more feedback. It appears to be a recently converted resintial dwelling from a previous shop. The quality of workmanship and choice of fixtures fittings and furniture seems mediocre. Decorating seems rushed home DIY and not professional. My wife and I and pooch stayed for three nights in late August 2025. There were no previous reviews so I think we may have been the first to stay but could be wrong. On arrival,there was no welcome note nor small welcome goodies, not even any dog treat biscuits. It was difficult for us to tell whioch was the master. bedroom so we chose the top floor as it seemed to have the biggest bed. In hindsight we should have chosen front of houise on lower floor as that was only room with bedside tables. The main bathroom was lovely but bring your own shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Toilettries provided were very cheap and no conditioner.The towels were hard. We could not vacate the property by the front door on the first afternoon as the front door key was in an outside front door key safe, so we had to walk long way around to get that. No note explaining that.. When I removed the key from the front key safe, I could not put the key safe back into its mounting as the whole thing came off with the key. I had to leave that behind in the house with the key when we vacated the property. The main TV has terrible sound, though logging into Netflix was very easy. There were no recycling bins in the kitchen and only one tiny bin in a kitchen cupboard. There were no dog bowls or beds or blankets but we brought our own fortunately. We couldn't find any trays, just the little things... We had a great visit out and about, and loved the Kings Arms pub next to the property. Would recommend other pubs over the Old Granary which did not live up to expectations. All in all a great place to visit, but we would find another property next time. I have no doubt that. Correspondence with the owner was very cordial and polite.

The property

Delightful Dorset House By Wareham River is a lovely pet-friendly house in the town of Wareham, based in the popular county of Dorset.

This property is perfect for a family or a group of friends looking for a getaway as it boasts a freestanding bath and is a stone's throw away from several amenities, whilst also being a short drive away from the beach.

Step foot into your new holiday abode and be the first to claim a seat on one of the sofas as you get into the holiday mood.

Head into the kitchen and diner to find everything you need for a self-catered stay.

Make the most of your electric oven, induction hob, and microwave to cook up a treat that will gather everyone around the dining table.

Should the weather be on form, then head outside to dine alfresco in the fabulous garden, which offers a table and chairs.

Once the sun ebbs away for the night time sky, then head back inside for some evening entertainment.

Find something for everyone to watch on Netflix or test your skills on the piano in the sitting room.

When a yawn comes along, call it a night and head upstairs.

Choose from one of the four bedrooms with two king beds, a double and a single on offer.

In the mornings, start your day off just right with a heavenly soak in the freestanding bath or a refreshing shower.

A shop and a pub are both short walks away for any essentials or a drink out.

For a day out, make your way to Bovington to make new furry friends at Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre, be in awe at some amazing exhibits at The Tank Museum or have an idyllic stroll around the Sculpture by the Lakes.

In Poole, let the waves ripple against your toes on Sandbanks beach, have a go at watersports at Hamworthy Park or take the little ones to Farmer Palmer's Farm Park.

In Bournemouth, explore the fantastic pier before another beach day, enjoy splendid pieces of art at the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery & Museum or see a plethora of magnificent creatures at the Oceanarium.

Don’t miss out on a holiday that will live long in the memory by booking Delightful Dorset House By Wareham River.

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.
