  • "What an amazing, relaxing break my wife and I had at the Coach House."

    From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The lovely hamper of local produce was a pleasant surprise and the accommodation was absolutely spot on. Clean, spacious and homely. Within easy reach of Poole and Bournemouth, but we preferred the small picturesque villages . The hot tub was an added luxury. We would definitely return and will recommend to anyone. Dave & Ali

    Lovely welcome hamper which was superb and really thoughtful. Hot tub was so relaxing at the end of the day and kitchen so well equipped. Complimentary bath robes very welcome. Local walks so beautiful. Only one slight issue was shower had very poor pressure but didn’t spoil our stay.

    Hi Jennifer, thanks for the feedback. We checked the shower after you left and saw that the pressure had gone so we have ordered a new one in. Thanks again. Property Owner

    Everything we could wish for was thought of and we were pleasantly surprised by the hamper full of delicious surprises. The little village of Witchampton is so nice and peaceful and there's a lot to see in a short driving distance. We didn't use the hot tub, but we are sure that is very pleasant too.

  • "The Coach House is a lovely, stylish holiday property."

    It is extremely clean and well maintained. The Hot tub is lovely and the bed was very comfy. Sarah and Andrew were very flexible as our hosts and made sure our needs were met. We never felt over looked whilst staying in the coach house and felt very relaxed whilst staying at the property and could come and go as we pleased. The Coach House sits in a quaint little village of Witchampton and is easily accessible by car to the main villages and attractions in Dorset.

  • "This is one of the best self catering accommodations we have stayed in."

    The village is calm and peaceful and the Coach House has character with an emphasis on the modern and everything you might need for a week away. Plus the hot tub is a treat and bonus. The provisions left for us were all local and there is a nod towards trying to be more eco in the household goods used. We liked it a lot and when back down this way agin to visit relatives will make this our first port of call.

  • "We had a lovely relaxing time at The Coach House!"

    The area is very quiet and peaceful which was exactly what we needed. The suggested walks were excellent. We did the Badbury Rings trail and it was good exercise plus a good walk to clear busy minds. We did also go to the Witchampton & Crichel Club for Fish & Chips on Wednesday night and the portions were indeed huge. The kitchen was nicely stocked with the bare necessities (sugar, tea bags, instant coffee, salt, pepper, cooking oil + all the crockery & cutlery and a cafetiere!) If food supplies are required, it's best to go the Waitrose in Wimborne which is about 5 miles away. But all these recommendations are in a very well prepared handbook. Above all, the welcome hamper & fresh hen eggs were thoughtful and lovely touch. We had an amazing stay!

    We couldn't have asked for more. All the comforts plus more and the hot tub was such a bonus after a day out. The welcome pack was a lovely thought and appreciated. After a day out at Monkey World or the Tank Museum, it felt like coming home each day. Apologies to Sarah & Andrew though, we forgot to wipe out the fridge after emptying, both of us thought the other had done it, oops!!

Be charmed by the fully equipped kitchen taking centre stage in the sociable space, home to an array of modern amenities including a handy washing machine and dishwasher; perch at the breakfast bar to share a bottle of wine as the designated chef cooks up a storm, or settle down and put your feet up in front of the television following an action-packed day.

Take your dining experience outdoors with a leisurely seat on the private patio, firing up the barbeque in the warmer weather, and end each day in style with a leisurely soak in the elegant hot tub, taking in the tranquil setting of your peaceful surroundings.

When sleep calls, retire for the evening to the sumptuous king-sized bed to rest your head, and in the morning, kick-start your day with an invigorating rinse in the spacious walk-in shower situated in the stylish shower room.

Get better acquainted with your surroundings and head off on foot to explore the picturesque terrain of the Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that encompasses the property, stretching miles of chalkland, ancient woodland and rolling countryside providing a plethora of scenic walking and cycling trails.
