Overview
Property code: 75639

Set in an enviable location in the pretty Dorset village of Studland, this welcoming house makes a fantastic base for family holidays exploring all that the coast and countryside have to offer

Escape the hustle and bustle of modern life and embrace a slower pace amongst the golden sandy beaches and cobbled streets of Studland. Surrounded by windswept dunes and heathland, it is a paradise for keen walkers and beach dwellers alike, making this a very special destination for any big family holiday. Tucked on the outskirts of the village against a backdrop of sweeping countryside, this spacious property sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms, providing the ideal base for exploring the Purbeck Heritage Coast.

Stylish, elegant and packed with homely details, this charming accommodation is perfectly suited for socialising. Catch a glimpse of the sea as you potter in the kitchen, rustling up hearty meals for the family to enjoy in the adjacent dining room, throwing open the doors for an al fresco vibe. A rustic wood burner creates a warm glow in the comfortable lounge, providing an irresistible spot for relaxing in front of the TV, or gathering for family board games. Admire the garden views from the sunny conservatory as you sip your favourite brew, helping yourself to a delicious slab of homemade cake. Sea views and crisp linen feature in every bedroom, and the bathrooms offer a soothing interlude for weary guests after a busy day. The main attraction of this beautiful holiday home is the fantastic garden that stretches beyond the dividing fence to a lawn area dotted with fruit trees and a large, open pond. Light the BBQ and settle down on the patio for some top-notch al fresco dining, watching the children stretch their legs on the grass. There’s ample off-road parking for four cars, and the nearest pub is within a 1-mile stroll.

Adrenaline seekers are well catered for too, with organised activities such as snorkelling, paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing available at specific beaches.

Lovely spacious house and large back garden. Very well equipped with everything you could need. Beautiful location, and amazing views. Wonderful for nature lovers and walkers. We saw sparrow hawks and squirrels from the kitchen window, and while walking nearby we came very close to some deer. We hope to return.

A lovely stay again at Greystones house in Dorset. We love the family friendly space with lots of activities on our doorstep as well as games and dvds and books in the house itself. It is a great location for walking. The only niggles would be the sofas and chairs in the living room which are getting a bit soft and saggy and so are harder for olderRead more people to get out of easily. Also the bed in the back double bedroom is not that comfortable, possibly due to slightly older mattress. Hide

Greystones is a remarkable cottage with the most amazing views accross the heathland to Studland and Poole Harbour. It's an extremely well equipped cottage with plenty of space for 8 people and it's very well suited to our extended family stays.
