Fantastic cottage in wonderful location. Cottage has everything you need and is a couple of minutes walk from Corfe Castle, steam train station and some good pubs and restaurants (especially The Castle Inn). Perfect base from which to explore Purbeck. Stayed April 2017

Mrs C Lloyd
A lovely cottage and a very beautiful village to be based in - perfect for exploring the lovely Isle of Purbeck and the Dorset Jurassic Coast. A very comfortable cottage - excellent bedrooms and very comfortable beds and a very good sitting room and well-equipped kitchen. Despite the busy road outside, the cottage is very quiet - excellent triple glazing and as our bedroom was at the back of the house by the garden, we didn't hear a sound. Our daughter on the first floor bedroom also slept really well and was not disturbed by traffic - stayed October 2016
