Beautiful countryside cottage in with soaring views across the Purbeck Hills. Attractive gardens and rustic charm characterise this lovely Dorset family retreat.

Set in a courtyard of Grade II-listed converted farm buildings, this charming property is perfect for relaxing family getaways by the coast. Beautifully updated inside, original beams and slate flooring combine with sleek contemporary units and stylish modern decor to create light and spacious rooms throughout. After a long day at Lulworth Cove or walking the South West Coast Path, return to the stunning Mediterranean-style courtyard garden for an al fresco meal beneath the pergola.

Keen cooks will delight in preparing delicious meals in the stunning contemporary kitchen, which is fitted with chic white units, quartz worktops and state-of-the-art appliances. Once prepared, enjoy meals in the spacious triple aspect lounge/diner, where plump sofas surround a beamed fireplace with a wood burner, and French doors open onto the patio.

An excellent cottage in terms of quality and comfort. If you stay out of season be aware that the village shop is closed for the winter and buses to Weymouth and Poole are limited. This is possibly the best holiday home we have stayed in.

The Cowshed is a comfortable place to stay and well appointed which we would recommend as we enjoyed our one week holiday there.

We spent a lovely week in this comfortable, well equipped cottage. Sky TV was a bonus. Nice outside space with super views. Lovely walks from the door (obviously quite steep in places) with stunning scenery. The deserted village of Tyneham, a few miles up the road, well worth a visit but check opening times. A couple of nice meals in The Castle InnRead more, but be sure to book, and 2 lunches in the Lulworth Cove Inn, equally nice. Would definitely stay in this cottage again. Hide
