Far from the madding crowd, set down its own private leafy driveway nestled in 8 acres of fields and woodland. Total peace can be found at the old cottage which dates back to the early Victorian age and is full of charm and character. It has an open fire, oil-fired central heating, and has a warm home-from-home feel. The cottage has a King size bed, toilet & washbasin upstairs. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, fridge, and freezer. A table and chairs overlooking the fields for breakfast, or a private garden with a fire pit and sun loungers to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, but still close to all amenities. Just the place to unwind.




The cottage is completely self contained with plenty of parking. Weekly rentals or short breaks in the winter.

Dogs are allowed, (2 maximum) but owners' rules must be followed as there is livestock on the land. A fee of £10 per dog per night. Owners must be responsible for picking up and disposing of bag into the bin at the top of the drive. No dogs are to be left in the cottage on their own at any time, and not allowed on furniture or upstairs.

The fresh smell of the sea and the waves crashing on the beach (when the wind is in the right direction) add to the atmosphere of this unique little gem.
The cottage is cool in summer and warm and cosy in the winter. A log burner is available (September-April) Central heating on a timer during winter months.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped and tea towels, oven gloves, washing up liquid. Complementary milk in the fridge for that much-wanted cup of tea on arrival.
I am more than happy to put food supplies away in the fridge/freezer if a home delivery is requested.
I supply 1 toilet roll in both the bathroom and upstairs toilet.
The bedroom has low eaves, but a very comfortable king-size bed with fresh linen and a duvet provided. The windows in the roof allow you to stargaze, and have black-out blinds if so required.
I am very happy to suggest places of interest or good pubs/restaurants in the area.
If privacy is required this is the place for you.

    Our stay at the Groom’s Cottage in Langton Herring was absolutely marvellous. The surrounding is beautiful, great opportunities for walks with the dog, plenty of things to do and to see in Dorset, very nice pubs and restaurants close by. Unfortunately the local pub in Langton Herring went out of business, but we managed. Our host Hilary was very kind and helpful but never intrusive. Very commendable indeeed!!

    From the moment we arrived until we left , we were awestruck by the cottage and the beautiful location it is situated in . If you are looking for a relaxing , peaceful time away , this is a superb location . Hilary was wonderful and friendly , ensuring we had all we needed . The cottage was divine and was equipped with all we required for a relaxing few days . The surrounding area is stunning . A walk into village led us to the public pathway and to the coast . Words don’t do justice to how beautiful the area is . 10/10 … a must stay .

    We had a lovely stay, Hillary the owner was lovely, she checked in on us to check we had everything we needed, she was absolutely great, suggested places to eat etc. The cottage was perfect for the two of us, it is in a quiet spot but not to far away from local amenities. We ventured over to Luthworth Cove and Durdle door. A lovely cottage in a lovely part of the world.

    We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage. We enjoyed walking from the property, particularly the walk down to the Fleet from the village. There are also a great many places to visit within in short drive. We found everything we needed provided in the property and Hilary made us very welcome. It is in a quiet, tucked away location and the cottage retains many of the original features with sensitively added modern conveniences. I would highly recommend a stay at Groom's Cottage if you want a perfect getaway.

    Lovely tranquil cottage built for two. The only sound was the birds and the horses. Hillary the host was in the next cottage but unobtrusive, we saw her when we got there and as we were packing up to leave. She was very friendly and stopped for a chat then she didn't bother us until we left. Fabulous peaceful weekend

    Even better than its description, the cottage is delightful. Great host Hilary takes immense pride in offering a share of the Dorset dream. Location is fabulous for walkers and plenty to do and see in close proximity....its a haven of tranquility, with all the charm of the love and effort that goes into making a special holiday.
