Snaptrip says
Sea Pink Cottage is a well-maintained property with a comfortable bed and a well-equipped kitchen, set in a lovely village ideal for dog walks and exploring the Purbeck area. Guests have appreciated the property's cleanliness, cosy vibe, and the thoughtful welcome gifts. While current building works and proximity to a main road have been noted, the cottage's charm and the area's natural beauty are highlights.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage generally receives praise for its cleanliness, though there are isolated mentions of issues such as dog hairs and a less than perfectly clean fridge. The majority of guests found the property clean and tidy upon arrival.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to walking paths and local attractions, but the current building works and the cottage's position next to a main road have affected the tranquillity for some guests. The village setting and nearby pub are seen as assets.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, particularly highlighting the super comfortable bed and cosy atmosphere. Some guests mentioned issues with road noise and a bed on a slope, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a good Wi-Fi connection and a pleasant garden. However, there are comments about the need for better glazing to mitigate road noise, and some guests suggested additional kitchen equipment. The building works have also impacted the enjoyment of the facilities for some.
Many guests were delighted by the welcome gifts, which included items such as bread, milk, and treats for dogs. While these gifts are mentioned positively, it should be noted that such gestures, though appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Resting in the tranquil and chocolate-box village of Langton Matravers, lies Sea Pink Cottage, a beautiful and newly refurbished Purbeck Stone cottage, just two miles from the seaside town of Swanage. This inviting retreat is a perfect choice for couples looking to escape normal life and explore the magnificent Jurassic coast. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space where you can settle down in the warmth of the electric fire and get lost in an enthralling novel, or tune into the TV and catch up on your favourite shows. Take a perch at the breakfast bar in the kitchen area and plan your holiday itinerary before whipping up a delicious home cooked meal using all the usual conveniences of an electric oven, gas hob and microwave. When the day draws to a close, retire to the beautiful bedroom, housing a sumptuous king-size bed, complete with quality linens and a plush duvet that is waiting to be curled up in after an action-packed day. Venturing out from the property, you are just a few minutes from the popular “Kings Arms” public house, serving home cooked meals and local ales, as well as the village shop where you can pick up your daily essentials such as bread, milks and eggs. Walkers can embark on adventures from the door, particularly along the Priests Way, which leads you along an ancient track passing between quarries and across fields, with glorious views of the countryside. Swanage can be reached in just over 2 miles and is home to a long stretch of golden sand resting in a sheltered bay, perfect for taking a dip in its clear, shallow waters. This blue flag beach has a stunning sweeping coastline with many attractions and the town is home to the prized vintage steam railway where you can experience a unique journey through six miles of beautiful scenery passing the magnificent ruins of Corfe Castle. Sea Pink Cottage will make a fabulous home-away-from-home.
Langton Matravers is a little village nestled on the Isle of Purbeck, in the county of Dorset. The village offers a traditional pub, The King’s Arms, a village shop and a museum that focuses on the quarrying history of the village.

The garden of the cottage is a building site, which was not expressed in the description on line. Also access to the cottage itself is not very easy, car is parked some distance away and access involves going through an old run down wooden door, through an old school reception hall, going down some narrow steps, down some more steps and then to entrance of the cottage. Cottage itself was lovely, but everything around it was not. Cottage not that clean either which was disappointing. over all ok for few days as a base but not for a long stay.

Cottage needs an indoor back door mat, one dumped outside is growing grass and a mixing bowl would have been useful otherwise cottage was well stocked, bed very comfortable and I am sure the pillows were filled with clouds as they were sooo soft. We will be back again one day so we can see what happened to the building site, and have another lovely holiday.

There are regular and reliable buses from the village to Swanage, Corfe Castle, Poole and elsewhere. The cottage is nicely designed though visitors should be aware that the shower isnât very good as it leaks from the hose and so you get not much than a dribble. There is no freezer and only a small ice box in the fridge, which doesnât close properly and is consequently too iced up to fit much in. The WiFi is sketchy so you have to be patient with that. Cleanliness not great - floors not properly cleaned and found half eaten biscuit under the sofa and had to wash the crockery as had food remains still on them. Itâs good that we knew about the construction before we went but it inhibits sitting in the garden on a nice day due to the noise in particular. Plus thereâs a smell of wee so maybe thereâs a septic tank nearby. There was a nice welcome gift on arrival, which was appreciated. We booked through Sykes and although we had a good time, in general we have come to expect better from a holiday cottage booked through them.
