"What a beautiful place to stay, we felt so at home the minute we walked in the door. it is such a beautiful conversion, we felt very lucky to have found this gem. very tastefully decorated, but so comfortable.
This unique property known as 'The Tower' is part of the beautifully converted Church. Built in 1829 on the River Frome, it has easy access to the river for canoeing and is very close to all the major beaches of Dorset.

It retains many original features and is now a modern comfortable and unique home from home.

Neighbourhood
The Tower is located on the River Frome, within 2 miles of Dorset's stunning Jurassic coast. Close to the picturesque market town of Wareham, and a short drive away from Poole, Bournemouth, Dorchester and Weymouth.
The famous tourist attractions of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, Corfe Castle and Studland are close by and easily accessible by car or bike.
It is the ideal base for families with children with Monkey World, The tank Museum, Steam Railway, ferry trips, fishing and miles of beaches within minutes.
It is just 2 hours from London Waterloo on the mainline rail service to Weymouth.
With beautiful views of the Purbeck Hills, and lovely walks along the River Frome this is a romantic and historic location deep in 'Hardy' country. The Church is the probable location for Tess of the Durbeville's marriage. The church was built in 1829 and retains many original features, yet has the comfort and warmth of a recent conversion to the highest standards of modern luxury.
