About this property

Set in Langton Matravers, a quaint village in Dorset, is this lovely single-storey annex, Little Crabapple. Just a short distance from the Isle of Purbeck coast, whilst enjoying a countryside setting, the annex features a private driveway, an open-plan living layout, and all the amenities required for a self-catering stay, making it the perfect base for a couple. Relax in the cosy sitting room, with charming views out through the original stable door, before benefiting from the well-stocked kitchen and dining area. Once you've explored your surroundings, or perhaps enjoyed a tipple outside, venture to the inviting king-size bedroom, with ample storage to home your belongings, serviced by a spacious bathroom, with both a bath and shower. Upon morning, refresh before heading into the village, to visit the local Kings Arms pub. Travelling to the coast, enjoy cliff top views across the Purbeck Heritage trail, head to Swanage Pier Trust for a fishing permit or the chance to scuba dive around the pier. Reaching the Dancing Ledge, you can expect a romantic vantage across the Jurassic Coast, whilst Corfe Castle is a beautiful hidden gem to explore, if you prefer the countryside, or if you're feeling energetic, head to Dorset Adventure Park and complete its waterpark challenges. Wareham is a must-visit town to stop off by with Wareham Town Museum, and Wareham Quay River Cruises, perfect for touring the county’s shoreline. Short walk away from Priests Way which is perfect for walking or cycling. Plan your time in Dorset at Little Crabapple.

On the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, two miles west of Swanage and five miles south-east of Corfe Castle, is the picturesque village of Langton Matravers. Matravers derives from the name of the Lord who originally lived there, while Langton comes from the phrase "long town." The Langton Matravers Museum presents the town's local history and paints a detailed picture of the methods for mining and utilising the local stone. Numerous walking routes pass through the village, including the "Smugglers Way," which starts in Worth Matravers and travels down to the coast path before returning to see the locations where smugglers were rumoured to have brought their contraband ashore. A convenience store and a typical village tavern, which holds an annual Stone Carving and Pumpkin Festival, are also located in the village. Dancing Ledge, a former cliff quarry with breath-taking views of the seashore, is located outside the hamlet. Adventure seekers can even scale the rock face or ride the coaster at the Ledge.
