Inside, a quarry-tiled hall offers space for storing coats and shoes before continuing through to the impressive lounge/dining room. With double doors to the garden, an inglenook-style fireplace, comfortable sofas, cosy rug and a selection of books, this room offers plenty of space for the whole family to relax after a long day on the beach.

Heath Cottage is a real (cosy) home from home. Our 4th visit, over the Christmas week, we miss it already. The location is terrific, especially for walkers (and dogs) with plenty to do in the area- and a short drive to other great spots if needed. Studland is beautiful, and we've loved all of our visits, whatever the weather.

Location cannot be beaten and with deer grazing in the garden and beautiful views it really is a nature immersion. Cottage is comfy enough and well equipped.

Location and garden amazing. Fantastic views. Drive from public road up up unadopted road not great, especially in heavy rain when you cannot judge depth of the many enormous pot holes. Cottage very basic but priced accordingly.
