About Oak Cottage

Located on the Golden Cap estate, Oak is one of St Gabriel’s cottages, a row of thatched holiday homes that sit on the site of a former hamlet. Oak Cottage is in a wonderfully secluded spot, the perfect place to get away from it all. 

Scale Golden Cap, the highest point on the south coast, or opt for a less strenuous stroll along the South West Coast Path. You may even spot one of our conservationists who help care for this land. The support from your stay at Oak Cottage ensures we can continue this vital work. 

A little further afield, immerse yourself in Hardy Country. Discover the Dorset countryside that inspired this great writer to produce such enduring literary works.
