Enjoy Swanage and explore the picturesque Isle of Purbeck from this exquisite cottage that was once home to a quarryman. Sleeping just three guests, and welcoming a delighted dog as well, the enchanting, two-bedroom stone retreat, which looks out over the rolling Dorset countryside, has been beautifully restored. Approximately 1 mile from the centre of town and the sandy beach, it is well positioned for coastal and country walks.
Wander inside to find yourselves in an immaculate lounge with a stylish finish. Fire up the wood burner in here in the evenings to bring a cosy glow to the space. Choose a book from the shelf while you relax on your holiday. Take a step up to make your way through to the airy kitchen/diner. Prepare delicious meals , all the cooking utensils you need are provided then gather around the table, enjoy the chatter and relaxation of this fabulous large dining area. Open the top of the stable door on bright summer days. There is also a utility room in this part of the cottage. Make your way up to the first floor to find the bedrooms. These include a king-size with rural views and a single, with an extra single, pull-out. The family bathroom is also up here. Delight in spending warm mornings lingering over coffee or hot chocolate in the pretty cottage garden. Have a glass of wine out here in the evening and watch the stars appear above you.
Pack a picnic and venture 4 miles to Studland and its long, golden, dune-backed beach. Catch a heritage steam train from Swanage to Corfe Castle, where you can explore the ruins and potter in the shops. Plan a day out to Lulworth Cove, 14.5 miles away, where you can swim and snorkel. Durdle Door, with its rock arch, 16.5 miles away, is also a lovely place to visit.
