Immerse yourself in the great outdoors with this spacious and appealing cottage. With three bedrooms, it allows up to five guests to relax against a backdrop of spectacular rural views.

Escape to the Isle of Purbeck with this elegant cottage overlooking stunning countryside. Approached via a private lane, this is a peaceful retreat from which to explore this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with its wonderful walks, charming villages and spectacular coastline. After busy days, return to this charming Purbeck stone cottage for a cosy evening in front of the roaring wood burner, a picnic on the lawn or a game of tennis on the owner’s court.

Inside and out, this Purbeck stone property has everything you might expect from a quintessential English cottage. The lounge is cosy and inviting with a warming wood burner, delightful window seat and colourful oriental rug adorning the wooden floorboards below. Meanwhile, the kitchen is tastefully contemporary with shaker-style units and plenty of space for preparing delicious meals. A spacious and bright conservatory is a wonderful spot for enjoying a cup of coffee with a good book while overlooking the gardens beyond. With one downstairs and two upstairs, each of the three bedrooms has been elegantly decorated. Outside, a pretty patio gives way to a large lawn garden, from which a gate opens onto acres of fields full of cows, sheep and alpacas.

Surrounded by acres of farmland yet only 5 miles from the coast, this delightful property offers the best of both worlds. Set out on foot to follow local footpaths to nearby villages including Corfe Castle (2.5 miles) with its eponymous castle or Langton Matravers (2 miles) with its friendly pub. Or set out along the South West Coast Path to discover Seacombe Cliff, Eustace Beach and Houns Tout, taking in the magnificent views along the way. Just 5 miles away is the popular coastal resort of Swanage, home to sandy beaches and an array of attractions and eateries - perfect for family days out.

We loved our stay at Afflington Manor Cottage. It had beautiful views and was very peaceful. The location was perfect for us - between Corfe Castle and Swanage. We were very lucky with the weather and visited the Studland beaches which were also very close by. Would definitely stay here again.

This was a cottage in a lovely location with outstanding views. One of the reasons for choosing this cottage was for the garden with the superb view; however, the table and benches also including the parasol let the garden down and really need to be replaced. You can walk to various locations over fields from this cottage, in particular Corfe CastlRead moree. It is also well positioned for driving to excellent beaches and Poole harbour where we caught the boat to Brownsea Island. Hide

We had a really nice stay thanks! Very pretty old cottage, seems authentically Dorset experience. Lovely peaceful rural location, pretty garden for relaxing in. Adequate facilities for a week for a family of 4. For a longer stay might struggle with only one loo and small kitchen, luckily there is a small BBQ and we had fantastic weather.
