Warmwell House is a Jacobean Manor (built between 1618-1620), deep in the heart of Thomas Hardy country, in Dorset. It’s great for special parties of family and friends, or for elegant country weddings.
The house sleeps sixteen guests in eight generous bedrooms (plenty of space for the odd child to be in with their parents). If you need extra room, there is a gate house (called White’s Cottage), and two darling shepherds’ huts. The estate can sleep 24 adults in total.
Main House
Six of the bedrooms in the main house have king size beds, and two can be separated to twins. Five of the rooms have an adjacent or en-suite bathroom. The remaining two bedrooms are on the second floor, and each have their own adjacent bathroom.
Also upstairs is the elegant drawing room,

House Facts
A scholar of oriental languages, John Sadler, lived at Warmwell House in the days of Cromwell and Charles II. He saw a vision and made an uncannily accurate prophecy in 1661 in which he described the Great Plague, the Great Fire of London (1666) and the Monmouth Rebellion (1685). A priest wrote down his statement and you can see a copy of it at Warmwell (the original is in the British Museum).

We held a family weekend houseparty for 14 in this delightful property. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed; the grounds are extensive with a lovely swimming pool and acres of woodland to explore. Our hosts were most welcoming and generous. In all an unbeatable stay.

Great Tastes was catering for a high end BBQ at Warmwell House last weekend. What a beautiful setting, house and garden.

Wow! What a beautiful way to spend a week with swimming, croquet, gorgeous grounds, tennis, pool table and that is before the beautiful house itself. Everything a week with friends and family could offer. Thank you Warmwell house.

Our week at Warmwell House was not only the most amazing staycation but probably among the top vacations we've ever had. The house is immaculate and Sam and Serena were fantastic hosts, always available to help with queries, share some of the history of the house and provide recommendations for things to do nearby (..admittedly we hardly left the house, between the pool, tennis court, pool table and walks around the grounds, why leave?!). The beds were incredibly comfy and the rooms and bathrooms all done to a very high standard. Compliments all around from our group of 12. We can't wait to stay again next year!

We were invited to Warmwell House to celebrate a close friend's 35th Birthday. What a fantastic place it is, Sam and Serena were the perfect hosts attending to our every need, including the standout delicious breakfasts to set us up for the day ahead, but not obtrusive in any way. The house has been tastefully renovated to the highest standard, with every little detail thought about to make for a very comfortable and relaxing weekend. With heartfelt thanks for an amazing stay. We cannot recommend it more highly.

We had a wonderful weekend stay in February at Warmwell. The house was incredibly comfortable, warm and cosy, especially on returning back after a rather windy walk to Durdle Door. The owners Sam and Serena went out of their way to make us feel at home. We particularly enjoyed the maze in the garden and the comfy beds!
Ben
What a lovely house! Everything has been done to a very high spec and so it feels like a five star hotel but with the intimacy of a family home and the exclusivity of a private party! The owners were on hand to offer local advice and help with any questions and we all had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and hope to come back!

We stayed at Warmwell house for a long summer weekend, 13 adults and 3 children. From the moment we drove down the splendid driveway and were greeted by this stunning Jacobean Manor, we knew we had found a true gem! Sam and Serena were incredibly helpful from beginning to end, offering us lots of tips on the local area, recommending caterers and answering all our queries very quickly. They were there to greet us and show us around the splendid house. Each bedroom is designed to 5 star standard and if all the other activities had not been there is would have been impossible to drag ourselves our of the unbelievably comfortable beds! The kids spent most of the time in the wonderful pool as the adults played tennis, drank delicious wine and lounged in the gardens - shaking off the London stress! I have never stayed at such a wonderful place and I hope that we will be able to return again and again to Warmwell House. Thank you again Sam and Serena for being the most gracious hosts.

I had the opportunity to meet the lovely Serena, in preparation for planning a wedding later this year. Warmwell is an exceptional venue, immaculate with heritage, the perfect combination. Cannot wait to be back there soon! Caroline (Fleur Provocateur)
