Purbeck cottage near Swanage & Studland - views of Corfe and I of Wight

Rating, 5 stars
,·
Down a narrow track to a small hamlet a short distance from Langton Matravers - a three bedroom Victorian cottage which sleeps six. Surrounded by National Trust land with amazing views towards the sea one way and towards Corfe Castle the other way. Luxuriously carpeted lounge with views over the Purbeck valley. Dining room with original flagstone floor adjoining a newly refurbished kitchen. Downstairs 'loo' Three good sized comfortable bedrooms with wash basins. There is one bathroom upstairs with a shower over bath. Small south facing garden with patio and summerhouse. Central heating throughout. Wifi and adequate parking for three cars. Swanage with sandy beaches is eight minutes away by car and Studland 15. The cottage is surrounded by classic Dorset country walks. The south-west coastal path is approximately one mile. The famous "Square and Compass" pub is just over a mile and a half and the "Scott Arms" at Kingston is two and a half miles. The acclaimed "Pig on the Beach" is only five miles away.

A visitor recently recorded – “What an absolute gem of a cottage. From the moment I walked in it felt warm, cosy, and inviting a real home away from home. I loved my stay and would happily return in a heartbeat.” and another recorded “An absolutely beautiful place to stay. The photos don't do it justice. Me and my family had a great week. Easy to wander across the fields to the village or a quick drive to so many brilliant places to visit. and Look forward to staying again.

This cottage is on a private road which desperately needs resurfacing. The view and peace is wonderful when there.The lounge would benefit from updating. A new carpet would help. It has a lovely garden to relax in the sun.The WiFi was a problem and we had to call the owner to come and he then connected us to next doors WiFi. Which is needed for the TV to work.It was a shame but the cottage wasn’t ready for us when we arrived. The cleaners had not been booked for our booking.By the time they came and cleaned and changed the bedding and the WiFi was sorted it was 6.00 pm before we could get in and sort ourselves out which seemed as if the day was over and we were paying for a day that was non existent.The owner apologised but didn’t offer any compensation which would have been appropriate.The rest of the week we thoroughly enjoyed as we were blessed with fantastic weather and we’re on Studland beach each day.

Tired Cottage

Stayed here over Christmas, great location and views. The cottage itself is tiered and in need of some updating. A lot of the crockery was chipped and not very clean. We also found various items that were clearly left by a previous visitor. It’s was responsibly price we just felt there was a lack of attention to detail.

Delightful cottage in fabulous location!

We had a wonderful long weekend staying in this delightful little cottage. The views are spectacular- you can see Corte castle & the sea from the front room & master bedroom. Perfect location for exploring Swanage, Studland & surrounding Dorset countryside. The cottage is really well equipped, very clean & comfy. Parking was easy & for anyone with an EV there are 4 charging points in the main Swanage car park! John was super helpful & replied quickly to any questions we had. Highly recommend!

Fantastic family stay. Value for money.

Property is in a beautiful location with stunning views. Very short drive to Swanage and great location for getting to places such as Wareham, Kimmeridge and Durdledoor. As other reviewers have said, the photos don't do the property justice and in todays climate I found the price good value for the amenities. Very clean and property well equipped. Just a note that there's a shared passage at the back of the house to get to the back garden. Just need to be mindful if you are bringing dogs. Also to note, house is accessed by a dirt track.

Lovely accomodation

Absolutely perfect accomodation for our family of 6. It is perfectly situtated within walking distance of the coast without having to be within the tourist area. The property manager was fabulous at communicating and left lots of helpful information for us. The cottage was well equiped and we had everything we needed for our week away.
