A spacious stone cottage offering a peaceful retreat to the coast with distant sea glimpses. Well situated to explore the endless attractions and seaside towns of the beautiful southern coast.

Make the most of the stunning coastline of Dorset whilst being spoilt for choice when it comes to all manner of outdoor pursuits and local attractions. Step outside your door to enjoy a leisurely stroll around the slow-paced village and visit the welcoming pub or stock up on supplies from the shop. The seaside town of Swanage, home to Old Harry Rocks, a pretty pier and a railway line to Purbeck, is just 1.5 miles from the cottage. 4 miles away you will find Studland Bay; a glorious slice of natural coastline made up of sandy beaches and picturesque heathland or you can venture 6.5 miles inland to visit the Hartland Moor National Nature Reserve.

Located within the wing of the owner’s home and all on one level, enter through a private porch area; perfect for storing coats and boots. Step through the French doors leading into the lounge and dining area. Cosy up in this space of an evening as you power up the electric flame-effect fire that is sure to warm you up after a day along the coast. The traditional kitchen is home to all the essentials you’ll need for home cooking before sitting down in the spacious dining area to appreciate it. The bright and airy bedroom is home to a double bed offering a restful night’s sleep and a basin.

Step outside to enjoy a south facing unenclosed space complete with seating area and distant sea glimpses to the Isle of Wight. Whether you start your morning with a coffee as you appreciate the quiet or enjoy a spot of al fresco lunch, it’s a wonderful space to be enjoyed at any time of day. There is ample shared parking with the cottage’s owner.

Ideal to be able to just open the door and let the dog out without any worries as the garden is fully enclosed.

Excellent accommodation which was well equipped . It was situated in a quiet area with easy access to Swanage,Corfe castle and wareham. On a good bus route so did not always need the car. The owners were friendly but not intrusive and were very helpful when needed. Clean and comfortable.

We had a lovely week at Little Mayflower. Only used the car once as had a very good bus service running between Swanage & Poole a couple of minutes from the doorstep. Excellent area if you like walking. We walked out to Dancing ledge, along the coast to Swanage & then caught the bus back. The cottage was very comfortable & had everything we needed Read more& Anne & David were never far away if you needed help or information. Will definitely return as could not do all the things we wanted to in a week. Hide
