Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. This former village school, dating back to 1864, is situated in Puddletown in west Dorset, between Dorchester and Poole. This end terrace property is in an excellent location for exploring the Isle of Purbeck, Swanage and further on west, taking in Weymouth and the famous World Heritage Jurassic Coast. No. 1 The Old School is part of a Grade II listed building, and has been defined as a good unspoiled example of a Victorian school. Since the sound of children running around has gone, it has now been converted into one of five residential homes, No.1 The Old School having formerly been the Headmaster’s home. One can see fine examples of mullioned windows and architecture reflecting the character, and the living room still has the old indoor shutters unique to the school. Now a holiday home offering great accommodation for up to six guests, it is in a delightful village location, where one can amble down to the nearby pub and wine and dine, or visit the local village store for your home requirements. Nearby, visit Athelhampton House and Gardens, a stone-built, Grade I listed Tudor manor house surrounded by acres of deer park, or Tolpuddle, famed for its martyrs and commemorated with a museum in the village. Spend time out on the beautiful Jurassic Coast, taking in Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, and enjoy some magnificent scenic coastal cliff walks to Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck. For great family time, venture onto the scenic Swanage Steam Line for a trip back in time, or visit Corfe Castle, Monkey World and the Tank Museum at Bovington. On your doorstep, you have the county town of Dorchester with its museums, and for some seaside atmosphere, Weymouth has a lovely beach. There is a wealth of attractions around, making No. 1 The Old School a wonderful holiday location. The property will be decorated should you be looking to arrive during the festive season. Beach 11 miles. Shop 200 yards, pub and restaurant 500 yards. Free WiFi Can comfortably fit up to 6 people
A very pleasant place to stay, in a picturesque English village. The local lady birds also seam to appreciate the house.
We had a lovely stay at the Old School. The house is comfy, clean, spacious and well equipped. The bathroom is nicer and more modern than the photo(!) and there is also a downstairs loo which I hadn’t clocked from the description. The garden is also nice and is very secluded and safe for kids to run around. All in all it’s a great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. The local pub the Blue Vinny is also excellent. The village is quiet and peaceful with great access to the main A35 road. There’s lots to see in the area so it’s an excellent base for exploring. Just to note if you are staying: the parking is a little tight if you have two mid size cars - the spaces are narrow. Also we found it odd that the key safe code wasn’t given in the check in instructions so you have to call someone. They then didn’t give us the code until we called again a second time later - seemed unnecessary faff!
This is our second stay as the location is perfect to visit an elderly relative. It is very comfortable, warm, fantastic shower and nice size kitchen. It is a good position for visiting the surrounding area with plenty of walks and places to visit nearby. There is a handy shop in Puddletown if you need a few groceries, but quick to get to Dorchester.
