Great location to explore Dorset. Stunning views and easy walk to Corfe Castle. Would have been nice to use garden more and have a bbq available. Cottage allows pets which we missed so not as clean as we'd have liked.

Fantastic location with a lovely big garden and terrace, where we enjoyed meals/drinks outside. Comfortable beds and a small but comprehensively equipped kitchen. Spacious dining area and cozy living room. Convenient bus service to Corfe Castle, Swanage and nearby villages.
