About this property

Swanage 1.3 miles. With views across the local countryside towards Swanage Beach and the town itself, The Cabin rests in a raised position within Herston, and is a fantastic base for a couple looking for a scenic getaway to Dorset. With French doors allowing in garden views and seas of natural light, The Cabin boasts a charming open-plan living space with contemporary furniture and a well-fitted kitchen, so guests can cook up a storm and enjoy their masterpiece over a glass of fizz in the dining area, before cosying up for a movie marathon in the sitting area.

Step outside to alfresco dinning area and fire pit where you can toast marshmallows whilst gazing out over the Purbeck countryside and the sea beyond. Herston is a hamlet resting on the outskirts of the coastal town of Swanage.

Swanage itself offers a wealth of amenities and attractions, starting with a great selection of shops, pubs and tasty eateries, including the Black Swan Inn, The Salt Pig Too, and Love Cake Cafe. A 3 mile walk along the Priests Way takes you to the world famous Square and Compass pub in Worth Matravers.

The town is home to a local golf course, as well as the Swanage Steam Railway, Peveril Point and its own amazing beach, perfect for a morning swim as the sun rises.

For those who love to spend time in nature, make the most of walks through Durlston Country Park, Studland and its heathland, the Purbeck Hills and a long and adventurous stretch of the South West Coast Path.

Sitting on the Priests Way, The Cabin has plenty to offer for outdoor enthusiasts. Cycling, walking, rock climbing, wild swimming, are all within walking distance. Make the most of the beautiful Dorset coast with a stay at The Cabin.

The cathedral city of Hereford dates back to Saxon times, and with its medieval bridge over the winding River Wye it is the very image of picturesque England. With a mix of buildings from almost every British era, eclectic Hereford is a popular base for those seeking to explore the locale – being ideally placed for accessing the Black and White villages of the region, not to mention the delights of neighbouring Shropshire, Worcestershire and The Cotswolds. Famous as a cider producing town, Hereford is also the home of the Mappa Mundi, the largest and most elaborate pre-15th century map in existence, which resides in the cathedral alongside the famous Chained Library – a collection of over 1500 rare books from as early as the 8th century. Nearby is the half timbered town of Leominster, filled with medieval buildings, often overhanging the street, and also accessible is the natural splendour of Symonds Yat, a rocky outcrop on a 5 mile bend of the River Wye, with spectacular views and the opportunity to spot protected peregrine falcons flying from their nests.
