Accommodation

Though the elegant, chalky-white façade suggests a compact building, you step through an arched doorway into a spacious architectural gem.

This stunning Georgian House has been in the Hanham family for more than 500 years and its Ali Hanham’s passion for interior design has seen this house restored to a high standard with antique furniture and fresh yet classic shades throughout the house.  The house has its own lawned garden to enjoy, or you can take a short stroll into Wimborne Minster to shop, drink or dine in one of the many excellent bars, restaurants and cafes in the town.
High ceilings, cosy nooks, sash windows, vibrant kilims brighten white wooden floors, while patterned French linen blinds look great with walls painted in delicate shades of blue and grey. For cosy, candle-lit meals the theatrical red dining room is the perfect spot.

The seven peaceful bedrooms are filled with antique furniture; traditional bathrooms are stocked with fluffy white towels and fragrant Ren products.

The big bonus of the Gate House is the newly fitted-out Media & Games room, complete with its 75-inch screen and state of the art sound system, X-box gaming, giant bean bags and table football. For outdoor fun the media room opens onto the terrace where there is a bubbling 5-seater hot-tub and BBQ.

To make your stay extra special all our guests receive a welcome basket of local, homemade treats on arrival or opt for a specially personalised hamper; for example, afternoon tea with Langham’s 2017 Rosé fizz.
