Ammonite Cottage sits in a mid-terrace position, bursting with character and within a short walk of the amenities of the wonderful Dorset market town of Wareham. It is an 18th century grade II listed cottage with numerous original features. The name Ammonite Cottage was chosen because the property lies on the Jurassic coast where so many fossils have been found. You can see some of them in the national museums, but there are also small local museums. If you are lucky you may even find your own fossils on the beach as many amateur fossil hunters have done before you. With a wealth of rustic features, this is an ideal stay for family and friends wanting to come together and get away from it all. Feel welcome from the moment you step in through the bright blue door; a cosy sitting room is enhanced by original stone flooring and a fabulous woodburning stove. A classy dining room rests adjacently, also warmed by an attractive stove. Rustle up each scrumptious meal in the wonderful country-cottage-style kitchen, laced with cream fittings and all of the appliances you will require, including a marvellous Rayburn, bringing a real sense of character. To enjoy the sun from the comfort of this homely accommodation, take a seat in the sun room which looks over the surprisingly large back garden. Ammonite Cottage lies across three floors; the two upper floors house the four splendid bedrooms. The first floor, graced with rustic wooden floorboards, plays host to a king, a twin and a single, all thoughtfully finished and served by a classy bathroom featuring an exquisite roll-top bath. Head to the second floor to discover a peaceful double room nestling under the eaves with exposed beams and Velux windows making it a truly delightful spot to get your rest. Embrace your fine countryside location by spending some time in the back garden; a series of lawn and patio areas offer a variety of spots to sit and relax. A short stroll brings you to Wareham's town centre with its amenities, museum and cinema. Wareham is accessible by train and there are also busses and trains to many other local sites such as Corfe Castle or local beaches. You can even catch a steam train from Corfe to Swanage. There is much to see and do nearby, from the astonishing countryside and coastline of the Dorset AONB to the stunning coastal resorts of Poole and Bournemouth both making for excellent day trips. Wareham still has most of its medieval walls which you can walk around today. Wareham is the gateway to the Isle of Purbeck. If you are fan of Thomas Hardy, Enid Blyton, Laurence of Arabia or history from stone-age onwards there is much to discover in the town and surrounding area. As well as walking fishing, sailing or simply relaxing. A remarkably unique cottage in a fantastic location.
Known as the Gateway To The Purbecks, this market town offers a selection of amenities as well as a museum and a cinema. The Dorset AONB is a nature reserve offering countryside, beaches, cliffs and hills, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. The popular seaside resort of Bournemouth also comes nearby.

Reviews
A very comfortable and well laid out home away from home for up to 7 people. I went with three friends but it would be equally suitable for families. Spotlessly clean throughout with a lovely fresh ambience. The kitchen is well equipped with modern appliances, utensils, crockery and glassware. The bedrooms were way more than adequate and very comfortable. Two of them have double glazed windows opening out on to a main road. I had one of these and as I like to sleep with the windows open I was a little worried about traffic noise, but need not have been as there wasn't much and I always got a good night's sleep. Both the lounge and dining room were comfortable and well equipped. Mention must be made of the very steep stairs to the first and second floor bedrooms. Part of the character of the property and care must be exercised! The garden is "mature" and during our stay during very hot weather we dined outside a couple of nights – a bonus. At the far end of the garden there is a gate to the car parking area and over the gate was a trained rose in full bloom while we were there. The smell was absolutely fantastic! I'm by no means a keen gardener, but felt motivated to keep it well watered while there. We only ever managed to get one car in the rather awkward parking area and even this was not easy. Not really a problem as there's on-street parking 100m away. A thoughtful welcome pack was provided - and appreciated! We did have one major problem while we were there and found the owners quick to respond and very helpful – in the end it turned out the problem was of our own making! Ammonite cottage is in easy walking distance to the town centre. There is a large Sainsburys, several good pubs and a variety of restaurants. Boat hire on the Frome is available at South Bridge and the Quay is a nice spot to have a beer/coffee and watch the world go past on the river. Wareham is an historic walled town and the best part of the walls (West and North) are very close to Ammonite. Early one morning I was looking north from North walls and was fortunate enough to see an osprey flying west from Poole Harbour along the river Piddle towards its nest site. Wareham is a great location for walking, cycling and local tourist attractions. Overall, a great property in a great location.
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, 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.
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.
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!!!
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!
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.
