About this cottage rental
Yoah Cottage has been lovingly refurbished to provide a comfortable & cosy stay. Yoah still boosts many original character with exposed beams & brickwork. The cottage is situated in the sleepy Dorset village of West Knighton, with the added bonus of family-owned pub next door. Yoah sleeps up to 9 guests, with 5 bedrooms compromising of 3 king size bedrooms, 1 twin room, plus a single bedroom downstairs. Plenty of parking with a garden to enjoy.
Welcome cooked family meals are available to pre-order, these are freshly prepared by the pub chefs so why not have a Cottage Pie or Thai Vegetable Curry or Lasagne or Fish Pie waiting for you when you arrive to just heat up, with a chilled glass of wine or two already waiting in the fridge. You could order a meal for every night so no hassle finding the local shop or cooking!!
Meals are made in a traditional family oven dish, and serve 6 standard portions, they will be left in the fridge for your arrival and cost £25 each, wine can be pre-ordered to, with Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot white wine, Merlot and Malbec in red, these are £15 a bottle, and must be pre-ordered by email.
West Knighton is a great base for many countryside walks, and a short drive to the Jurassic Coast and if needed many many family attractions.

Lovely cottage, we ordered food through the host which was amazing and great to have on our arrival. We did some lovely walks to Dorchester and Osmington. Cottage clean and had all the necessary amenities including a large fridge.Lots of character including a few low beams.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2025
Delightful property next to a very helpful pub. Quite a distance from the coast but plenty to see nearby.The kitchen was well equipped and enough for everybody/The beds were comfortable and clean linen and towels. We wish this had been put in the description. Getting in contact with anyone before the stay was very difficult/Parking space for three cars was very tight., we now know why.

Cracking property very well equipped, excellent all round cottage, lovely setting.
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2024
On arrival all of the windows were open, which was we guessed to air it as there was a musty smell. The garden was not in a good condition and had many weeds and the grass was long in most areas except where new seeded areas were. Would not be suitable for children. The house is supposed to suit 9 people, and whilst there were plenty of plates, cups and glasses, there were only two saucepans - one small one for vegetables, and a milk pan. Certainly no where near enough for myself and 4 friends and so not for 9 people!
The worst thing was virtually no wifi - which meant no TV. I had to work each morning before we left for our sewing class in Poundbury and found it almost impossible as I could not access my business cloud documents or download emails. The owner sent in someone from the pub next door who after much poking around confirmed that the router was in the pub next door and serviced that and a number of other houses they owned. The property should have its own DEDICATED router/account and not a shared one. It made the week very stressful for me as the speed in the house was less than 5mb - when it worked!
Overall the location was nice, quiet and the house great for maximum of 5 people - e.g if 9 people were there and wanted to sit together it would be the floor as the lounge sat 6, and the sun room 4 unless everyone squashed it. It would have been nice to have cushions for the outside table.
