An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and full of history, the Isle of Purbeck is bordered by water on three sides and forms part of the 95-mile Jurassic Coast, England's first natural World Heritage Site. The area is home to some of the South’s most-loved landmarks including Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door (both around 15 miles), while Brownsea Island sits within Poole Harbour (19 miles), one of the world’s largest natural harbours. Only 5 miles from your doorstep, the coastal town of Swanage has a Victorian pier and is known as a fun, family resort thanks to its gently sloping sands and clear water. Take a journey back in time aboard the Swanage Railway, which operates full-size steam and diesel passenger trains to the coast from Corfe Castle, 2 miles from your holiday cottage
This detached country property in the pretty village of Woolgarston is the ideal choice for a group getaway, with two separate spaces so everyone can gather or enjoy quiet time apart. Enter through a sunny porch and hallway into a welcoming home-from-home that’s always comfortable thanks to a combination of central and underfloor heating. At the heart of any country abode is its kitchen, and the one here has all the must-haves for a fuss-free stay in a light, contemporary setting. Once you’ve cooked up a feast, there’s a large dining suite within a spacious garden room which is flooded with light and also features a seating area complete with Smart TV. There’s a second, separate sitting room with a Smart TV and Blu-ray DVD, meaning that some guests can have their own chill-out space or children can play in one room while the adults unwind in the other. Completing the layout on the ground floor is a cloakroom, and on the first floor, there’s another that houses a WC and the hot water immersion heater. Five steps lead down to the first-floor’s main family bathroom, and there’s a similar step-down to an en-suite bathroom which complements one of the two twin bedrooms on this floor. Completing the sleeping options, there’s a double bedroom and another with bunk beds – all four bedrooms have views over the valley.
Surrounded by countryside, the south-facing garden is laid mostly to grass and is situated on the slopes of Nine Barrow Down – home to a wealth of local wildlife including deer, rabbits and birds.
