| Whitcombe
Farm Cottage is one of a small cluster of old farmworkers' cottages
situated in the small hamlet of Whitcombe, which lies approximately 2
miles south east of Dorchester. The village has Saxon origins and is
mentioned in the Domesday Book. Although the medieval village was
abandoned during the plague, the Grade I listed, 12th century church
remains and there are later 17th and 18th century dwellings including a
Manor House and a huge, impressive Tithe Barn.
Whitcombe is ideally placed for visiting a beautiful stretch of the
South Dorset coastline, now designated a World Heritage site, and is
within a 15 mile radius of Ringstead Bay, Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove,
Abbotsbury famous for its swannery, Chesil Beach and sub-tropical
gardens and Weymouth, which has a variety of attractions and events
throughout the year. The inland coast path, which links with the South
West coast path is also a short drive away. For shopping, Dorchester,
with mainline station to Waterloo, is just 2 miles away.
Whitcombe Farm Cottage has been refurbished to high
specifications; being Grade II listed it combines character and charm
with really good facilities making it very suitable family
accommodation. There are good views across to the village church and
over fields at the rear.
