This Grade II listed cottage is located in the traditional village of Worth Matravers, a quiet place with a duck pond, welcoming village pub, and tearoom. There are some wonderful coastal walks to be had in the area, and walking out to Winspit Cove from the property offers breath-taking views and swimming for strong swimmers only. Further around the coast, to the north-east, the seaside town of Swanage is more suited to families, offering a wide sandy beach, waterfront amusements, a pier, and a choice of places to eat. A little further north still, the National Trust owned coastline at Studland Bay has a quiet dune-backed beach from where it is possible to take the chain ferry across to Poole Harbour to the upmarket resort of Sandbanks.

With its whitewashed walls, wooden floorboards, and stone fireplaces, this property has a delightfully authentic cottage-feel to it and, makes a lovely place for a relaxing stay. The lounge is an attractive room which offers a wealth of period features alongside comfortable furnishings, an open fire, flagstone flooring, and a TV/DVD. Next to the lounge, the galley-style kitchen, though small is nonetheless well-equipped and offers an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher, and washing machine. The first of the property’s three bedrooms can also be found on the ground floor, a pretty children’s room offering a single bed and a set of bunk beds. Two further bedrooms can be found on the first floor of the cottage, the first of which is a restful double room, whilst the other is a tranquil twin room. The bathroom, meanwhile, offers a shower over bath and WC.

Outside, there is a pleasant courtyard area with garden furniture which is for the sole use of guests staying at the cottage. In addition to this, guests have access to a lawned garden which is shared with the neighbouring cottage, which is furnished with garden furniture. Parking is available in the village car park for which a permit is provided.

Lovely location with excellent walks and pub. The cottage, although quaint, is in need of an upgrade

Nice and comfortable little cottage. We managed to cook Xmas dinner for 7 in the small kitchen. Very close to excellent walks, and the pub is great - serves some really good beers and staff are very welcoming.

Quirky, comfortable cottage on a narrow lane in an interesting village - with a sunny shared sitting area at the back, but the lounge and main bedroom are dark inside. Parking is up a steep hill at the other end of the village, and unloading may be difficult at busy times.

A really beautiful cottage in a fab location. Ideally located for us to explore the Purbecks and walk back from the pub! The kitchen is small but well stocked with anything you would need to cook dinner. The garden is lovely, has outdoor seating and a great BBQ. Our only complaint was the slightly uncomfy sofa, we like to watch films on holiday andRead more it was a tad awkward with the positioning. Hide

The rustic C17th Century charm of the cottage & the village plus its location - off the beaten track & so close to many superb coastal walks, suited us perfectly. Everything in the cottage is just lovely, has everything you need, everything works perfectly, thoughtful interior decor & super comfy beds.
