The outside view of the cottage is deceptive. What looks like a single-storey dwelling opens up to reveal stairs up to a kingsize and twin bedroom, plus a family bathroom. 

Downstairs is a tiled hallway (perfect for leaving wellies and coats after coastal walks) and a handy loo/shower room. Step into the generous living room, and you will see that it also leads onto a bright cottage kitchen. With onsite parking, it has all been tastefully and simply decorated in traditional shades to reflect its history and location.

Please note, because of the layout and shared courtyard, we are unable to accept children under seven years old. Babies in arms are welcome, but we do not keep a cot or highchair on the premises. From the 7th of August we are happy to welcome one well behaved small to medium sized dog but please note they must be kept on a lead when leaving the premises and there is no garden or outside space for pets.

Small historical stone cottage with brick accents, a white door, and two windows, located on a street with other buildings in the background. Sign reads 'Hallycon Cottage'

The cottage

A neatly made bed with white and beige pillows, a wooden headboard, and a tray on top with a flower vase, two coffee cups, a magazine, and a plate with strawberries, blueberries, and a croissant.

The Bedrooms

Both the King and the Twin bedrooms have a fresh coastal cottage feel.There are some sloping ceilings above the beds, but there is plenty of headspace and they are bright and welcoming. Both are carpeted for comfort, and have country pine drawer storage plus a small desk for working if necessary –  or using as a dressing table if not! The king bedroom has a small wardrobe, while the twin has a traditional, wall-mounted clothes rail and hooks.

Everything you might need has been thought of so you will find a hair dryer, magnified make-up mirror and laundry basket in the master bedroom, plenty of towels, and lots of good hangers.

Small bathroom with a bathtub, toilet, and shower stall with glass door, gray tiled floor, and gray walls with small framed pictures.


The Bathrooms

The upstairs bathroom is easily accessed by both bedrooms and has a large walk in shower as well as a wooden clad bath under the eaves. Downstairs is a small vintage green loo/shower room – perfect for jumping straight into if you are feeling a bit sandy or muddy!

Living room with a fireplace, wooden furniture, and a TV.

The Living Room

The living room has all you want for cosy nights in front of the wide Purbeck stone fireplace and the highly efficient log burner. There is a fluffy cream rug, a three-seater feather sofa with plenty of cushions, and two comfy armchairs. There is also traditional country dresser with board games to enjoy, a TV with Freeview, Amazon and Netflix and drawers packed with DVDs, if you are still squabbling about what to watch!

A bright, cozy kitchen with white cabinets, wooden countertops, and a wooden dining table with chairs. There are hanging lights, a skylight, and open shelves with jars and decorations.

The Kitchen

This bright and airy kitchen has been recently renovated and is well equipped with modern appliances, while still maintaining the look and feel of the traditional cottage kitchen.

There are hand-crafted wooden worktops, a Belfast sink with beautiful brass taps, a hand-painted kitchen dresser, and a traditional country window, overlooking the courtyard. There is also a cottage kitchen table for four, with a mix of bench and chair seating.

You will find basics such as olive oil, condiments, some dishwasher and washing machine tabs already there – and keen cooks won’t be disappointed by the quality of the kitchen knives or range of pans.

Halcyon Cottage is a small brick house with a concrete patio, white bench, table with flowers, and a wooden privacy screen, in a suburban neighborhood.

Travel And Parking

It is possible to enjoy a fabulous holiday at Halcyon without using a car. There are railway stations a short taxi ride away at Wool (10 mins) and in the market town of Wareham, about 20 minutes away. There is also the prettiest of thatched bus stops (you may have spotted it in the Boden catalogue!), where the Jurassic Coast bus can be picked up for exploring further afield. If you do drive, there is parking for one car in the courtyard behind the cottage, and there are usually spaces outside the church, a few minutes walk up West Road. NB We share the courtyard with our lovely neighbours, who also park there, so – for safety reasons – we don’t accept dogs or young children.
