Overview
Property code: IC096

Beautifully modernised to offer bright and spacious accommodation, this lovely cottage is a tranquil hideaway just steps from the village centre.

Explore the magnificent Isle of Purbeck in Dorset from this exquisite stone cottage in delightful Corfe Castle. Go for long walks through picturesque countryside and hike along the scenic Jurassic Coast. Stroll to village shops, cafes, pubs and the castle ruins themselves, from this two-bedroom holiday home that sleeps four guests and also welcomes two happy hounds or head 6 miles into Swanage for a wider selection and a traditional seaside experience.

Step into this enticing cottage to discover a surprisingly bright and modern interior. Find the spacious lounge is the perfect place to relax in front of the TV, with the open fire roaring. Make your way through into the kitchen/diner, with its electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment and washing machine, to whip up tasty meals. Dine together with the French doors open on to the garden. Venture upstairs to find both bedrooms on the first floor. One of these has a king-size bed and the other has bunks, together with French doors leading on to the balcony. Enjoy a cup of tea out here on occasion and gaze out towards the castle. There is also a bathroom, with a bath, shower and WC. Savour the serenity out in the beautiful garden, which has apple trees, a long lawn and a stone patio for outdoor relaxation. Find parking outside the property from October to May; allocated parking for two cars is also nearby.

Lace up your walking boots and head straight out to follow footpaths through beautiful scenery. Plan days on the beach at Studland Bay, 8 miles away, with its long stretches of golden sands. Lulworth Cove (12 miles) is also well worth a visit, and the iconic limestone arch of Durdle Door, 12.5 miles from the cottage, is also a fabulous place to swim.

Comfortable and good secure garden for the dogs. Would like more storage in the bedrooms. Also a mirror in the master bedroom near a plug socket. As I had to style my hair as did my grandaughter from the opposite side of the bedroom. Great location, very peaceful. Good walks close by and excellent transport facilities to get to Swanage

Been to Plum Tree cottage a number of times as the location is spot on and the views of the castle are amazing from the back garden. The cottage isnt traditional as in nice brickwork features or wooden beams but its fine for us as location is everything.
