Wancombe Cottage, Cerne Abbas

About Wancombe Cottage, Cerne Abbas

Set peacefully on the edge of Cerne Abbas, this homely 4* self catering cottage has a spacious kitchen diner with antique dresser, and a large comfortable lounge with an open fire and access to the south facing garden.

The property sleeps 4 with a modern bathroom with separate shower.

The main garden is to the rear and south facing. From the sheltered courtyard with its table and chairs, steps lead up to a small lawned area with fruit trees. Wancombe Cottage is just a short walk from Cerne Abbas village centre.

For lovers of the English countryside, Cerne Abbas has so much to offer - history, beautiful old buildings including the finest mediaeval street in Dorset, pubs, shops, a tea room and magnificent downland all around.

A great joy of Cerne is that it’s perfectly possible to spend a fully active week (or more!) here without ever using your car. Step outside the cottage, and you’re almost immediately onto the footpath network. A favourite short walk from the cottage, of about three miles, takes you through Cerne Park onto the Wessex Ridgeway, down Wancombe Hill to Up Cerne and then back.

This is an area teeming with wildlife - depending on the time of day you might see deer, fox or badger, hares and rabbits, whilst buzzards soar and drift on the thermals overhead.
