With far-reaching views over the Purbeck Hills and its proximity to the isle’s sandy beaches, this stunning 1700-dated stone property fuses coast and county for a truly tranquil break. It’s close to all the village amenities, as well as the majestic ruins of Corfe Castle itself.

Dolphins and seals can often be seen off the coast at Durlston, and there are good facilities for bird watchers at the Arne Nature Reserve. The sandy beaches at Studland and Swanage are just a short drive away.

Such a lovely, spacious cottage. We've stayed 4 times we love it so much. The garden is huge, enclosed (dog-proof) with lots of garden furniture. I always bring a few kitchen bits but never need them as the house is so well equipped. Great to have two en-suites and a main bathroom (as well as a downstairs wc). We hope to return for a 5th stay.
