Lovely setting and lovely cottage. Ideal location for Corf Castle, Studland Bay and the steam/diesel train service between Corfe Caste and Swanage, though drive to Norden to park a car as there is no parking at Corfe Castle (even for Blue Badge holders).

This is our second year of staying at Afflington Manor Cottage and it is still delightful to stay here. Such a cosy cottage with a lovely view from the conservatory and garden. I like a slightly softer bed so take my own memory foam topper for the double bed. The cottage is well resourced and clean. And it is so quiet - just what we needed. I have Read morenow completed the South West Coast Path so am unlikely to return but would highly recommend it to any one else. Hide

What a wonderful find. Such a lovely location with a beautiful garden and views to enjoy from the comfortable garden room. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Personally the beds were a bit too hard for us but we have found this in many other properties so now bring our own mattress toppers.

Cottage was great and in a really idyllic location. Everything was really clean and we had a great holiday staying in Afflington Lodge, the enclosed garden was great for the little ones. Very minor issue with the equipment just needing an upgrade, no smart TV for example. We would definitely reccomend this place for a family stay.
