Kate's Cottage is quietly situated along a 'no through' lane on the edge of the village of Winterbourne Kingston which nestles in a valley, some 2 miles to the north of Bere Regis.Its situation makes it ideal for visiting a really spectacular stretch of South Dorset coastline, which lies between Weymouth and Poole, and includes Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Kimmeridge (fossils), Swanage and Studland Bay on the Isle of Purbeck.

The New Forest, to the east, is within easy driving distance while further inland and northwards is some of Dorset's most impressive upland scenery with breathtaking views from such high points as Bulbarrow Hill (898 feet).

Winterbourne Kingston itself has a village pub, while the Georgian market town of Blandford (only 7 miles) and the county town of Dorchester (13 miles) provide good shopping centres.

Kate's Cottage is some 200 years old with thick cob walls typical of this area and has the advantage of being detached, affording privacy and seclusion. A short walk along the lane by the cottage leads to the winter bourne and from there to the village pub.Kate's Cottage has been extensively refurbished and tastefully re-decorated by its owners. There is an enclosed garden, which is safe for children.
