This property enjoys a fantastic location at the end of a quiet lane in the picturesque village of Corfe Castle known for its impressive Civil War era castle. This thousand-year old monument makes an interesting day to spend a day, wandering the walls and enjoying the varied programme of events which take place throughout the year. Besides from the castle, the village is also home to the Swanage Railway, allowing visitors to catch a heritage steam train and enjoy a leisurely trip through the countryside to the nearby seaside town of Swanage with its sandy beach.

This Grade II listed cottage offers attractive accommodation which has been updated with care and attention to create a relaxing holiday cottage. The lounge on the ground floor has a beamed ceiling, a stone fireplace with a warming wood burner, a pretty window seat, and a TV/DVD. A second lounge area can be found in the cottage’s sunny conservatory, from which patio doors open onto the garden. The kitchen/diner is a spacious light-filled room, which has a well-equipped kitchen area offering an oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher. The dining area, at one end of the room is situated next to three steps which lead up to a door opening onto the garden, whilst there is a separate utility room which houses the washing machine. One of the property’s bedrooms, a restful single room with an additional pull-out bed (suitable for a child only), is also located on the ground floor, as is the bathroom with its shower-over-bath and WC. The remaining three bedrooms can be found at the top of steep cottage-style stairs on the first floor, where the landing is lit at night with motion sensor floor-level lighting. The first bedroom on this floor is the king-size master bedroom with its attractively beamed ceiling, whilst the second bedroom is a peaceful double room, with the third being a pretty single. A shower room with a rainfall shower and WC is also located on this floor. 

Patio doors from both the dining room and the conservatory open onto the garden which has an attractive stone patio close to the house, several steps from which lead up to a generously-sized lawn. There is garden furniture provided in the garden as well as a brick base which is suitable for disposable BBQs. Parking for two cars can be found to the front of the property.

Lovely cottage. Everything we needed. The location is great for exploring the local area. Very comfortable accommodation with a pretty garden. Great for the steam train heritage railway to Swanage, close to the tranquil and beautiful RSPB Arne, Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Kimmeridge.

The location is ideal - a few minutes walk to the village centre but far enough to be very quiet and a couple of minutes walk from Corfe Common, which is lovely. There is a well-tended spacious garden. The house is also spacious, plenty of facilities, comfortable beds, and all you could wish for. There is a downstairs bathroom and a downstairs sRead moreingle bedroom which make it attractive for a less mobile person. But the very narrow stairs and in particular the array of steps at different levels at the top of the stairs are challenging, and I would recommend anyone with a mobility issue (whether due to physical problems, poor eyesight, dizziness etc) to take that into account and perhaps seek advice before committing to using the first floor.

Great location and generally quiet. Well equipped and comfortable beds. Nice private garden. Easy level walk (10 mins) to centre of village. Adequate parking for two medium sized cars. Lounge seating adequate for 4 adults. Well maintained.

Lovely, very well appointed cottage in a quiet location. We particularly enjoyed the conviviality of the dining/kitchen area with its outlook over the garden and the cosiness of the sitting room. Great sourdough bread and other supplies to be found at the village Post Office shop.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage which was just big enough for us (4 adults plus toddler). There is only seating for 4 adults in the front room but this was fine for us. The kitchen was well stocked. Parking was exceptionally tight for 2 cars and could only be achieved bumper to bumper (literally!), but as it was out of season we managed to Read morepark one car opposite most days. The location is perfect, a few mins walk to the castle. Lovely enclosed garden. We would recommend. Hide

We loved our stay here! A great cottage in a great location. Perfect for walking and exploring the local area. The kids loved playing in the garden at the end of the day. I enjoyed reading on window seat! A first visit to Dorset for us but I'm sure we'll be back.

We loved the location of this cottage because it's so quiet but within such easy walking distance to the centre of Corfe. The garden too is a real asset if you have good enough weather to be able to use it.
