Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Yetminster
Yetminster is a tranquil village whose older cottages and buildings are crafted almost entirely from honey-coloured limestone. It offers an ideal destination for those planning self-catering holidays in Dorset. The Village on the banks of the River Wiggle exudes a timeless ambience, with houses dating back to the 17th century and minimal through traffic, fostering a serene rural atmosphere.
The Village’s main event is the Yetminster Fair, one of Dorset’s oldest street fairs, dating back to the 13th century. This vibrant event revived in 1975, has become a Wessex area highlight every second Saturday in July.
St. Andrews Church, adorned with a 300-year-old faceless clock, adds to Yetminster’s charm, chiming the national anthem six times a day to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee.
Purchase essential amenities at the Oak House Store, the heart of village life, which offers a well-stocked selection, including locally produced cakes and biscuits. The Village has a Post Office, also serving as a tourist information point, and an excellent butcher. Enjoy a convivial drink and good pub food at The Railway Inn, the village pub. Book your stay in Yetminster holiday cottages for a rural retreat in a place marked by history, charm, and tranquillity.
