Odd Nod Cottage

Wareham, Dorset

Located in Wareham, Dorset in the South West of England, Odd Nod is a charming cottage that can accommodate up to 5 guests. Just a short distance from the stunning Jurassic Coast, this Grade II listed property is part of a group of thatched cottages in the tranquil hamlet of Coombe Keynes, which has a mention in the Domesday Book. The cottage has been tastefully restored, blending modern amenities in the bathroom and kitchen with cosy living spaces that feature a wood burning stove.

Guests at Odd Nod can enjoy a south facing garden that extends into open farmland, complete with a summer house that offers picturesque views of the surrounding fields. The area around the cottage provides excellent opportunities for walking, with the chance to spot wildlife such as pheasants, hare, deer, and even hear the hooting of owls. For festival enthusiasts, it's worth noting that Bestival, an event that attracts around 50,000 attendees, takes place in early August near Lulworth Castle.

For those seeking a more family-friendly and low-key event, Camp Bestival is held in late July at Lulworth Castle. This festival, which is the little sister of Bestival, is geared towards children and features a fireworks finale that illuminates the castle grounds. Whether guests are looking to explore the beautiful countryside, relax in a peaceful setting, or attend a nearby festival, Odd Nod offers a delightful retreat in the heart of Dorset.
