About this property

Situated in Harmans Cross, this delightful, single-storey abode is the perfect place to explore Purbeck, with Corfe Castle, Swanage, Studland, and the South West Coastal Path all within touching distance.

Enjoying a convenient location near a host of amenities, a stylish interior, a private driveway, and outside space - Castle View Annex provides two guests with a wonderful base for a romantic getaway; one furry companion is also welcomed.

Park up outside before making your way into the annexe, firstly reaching the contemporary sitting room, adorning a corner sofa bed, offering flexibility, plush armchair, and a TV, where you can unwind after a day of adventure.

Head into the kitchen/diner to prepare meals for two, arriving to a host of state-of-the-art appliances and a dedicated dining area.

Venture outdoors for some fresh air, to enjoy the garden and the glimpses of the neighbouring chickens and Purbeck Hills, before returning indoors to freshen up in the sleek en-suite bathroom.

After a film night in or an evening out in the local area, climb into the sumptuous king-size bed, ahead of another day of sightseeing and traversing.

Start off your itinerary locally, with the chance to visit the magnificent Corfe Castle, take a walk over the Purbeck Hills with stunning views of Studland, Sandbanks, and RSBP Arne, or perhaps opt for a thrill-seeking afternoon at Dorset Adventure Park, home to water sports and activities.

Traveling towards Purbeck Heritage Coast, reach Swanage and its stunning shoreline and pier, dotted with amenities to also benefit from, before heading further towards Bournemouth and its bustling pier, brimming with attractions; some favourites include Oceanarium, Bournemouth Pier, PierZip at RockReef, Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre, and Russell Cotes Art Gallery & Museum.

Round off your getaway by reaching Weymouth, adorning a breath-taking beach, and stunning lakeside pathways at RSPB Radipole Lake, before returning to your abode to toast to your getaway.

Spend some quality time together at Castle View Annex.

In the English county of Dorset homes both a mediaeval settlement and civil parish of the same name as Corfe Castle, that is owned by the National Trust. The community, which is situated between Wareham and Swanage and overlooks the Purbeck Hills, offers stunning scenery as well as quick access to the region's exciting coast and countryside. This area, which includes portions of the Jurassic Coast, is ideal for individuals interested in outdoor exploration, with lovely walking routes, picturesque seascapes, and close access to both the Studland and Godlingston Heath National Nature Reserve and Hartland Moor National Nature Reserve. The Model Village & Gardens, Purbeck Mineral & Mining Museum, Dorset Adventure Park, the Boilerhouse Gallery, and of course Corfe Castle itself, with its 1,000 years of history, are the village's top attractions.

    It was comfortable and clean. We would have liked a hook or two in the hall near the front door to hang coats on.. It was far enough back from the road for the taffic not to be a problem. It was good being able to take the dog out early AM and late PM without having to go along the road.Yes we would book again.
