Enjoying a secluded hilltop position, this beautiful 18th-century property offers stunning views across the Isle of Purbeck and towards Corfe Castle. Part of a charming terrace of properties in the historic village of Kingston, this cosy and traditional stone-built period cottage provides friendly and welcoming accommodation for up to eight guests. Perfect for families and friends, the cottage is ideally placed for exploring Dorset’s stunning beaches, beautiful nature reserves and the spellbinding vistas of the Jurassic Coast.

A flagstone hallway leads you through to the warm and colourful lounge, an ideal spot to sit back and unwind with a movie on the TV or a good book in front of the wood burner. The galley-style kitchen is equipped with everything you may need for a favourite meal which you can share in the beautiful dining room. Full of character, this room has traditional ceiling beams, stone flooring and a feature fireplace. Steps lead down to a double bedroom, shower room and a bunk bedroom which has been converted from former outbuildings. The cottage also has a first-floor twin room, double room and bathroom. Due to the age of the property, there are many changes of level and character features including low doorways and areas of restricted head height, adding to its charm. The wraparound garden offers plenty of space for children and dogs to play and run. There are two terraces with outdoor furniture, so you can admire the superb far-reaching views. A traditional ha-ha runs along the bottom of the garden.

We have stayed next door for the last few years and loved the space inside and out of this cottage. It is well equipped with good quality equipment and spotlessly clean The view is second to non and the large garden was perfect for the dogs. We will be back and can not wait

Characterful cottage with stunning views in a lovely village with a pub. Very comfortable indeed but compact kitchen meant only one person can cook. Four toilets though! Owner and housekeeper were helpful. We appreciated being able to charge up the car.

The cottage is situated perfectly to explore The Purbecks whether by car or on foot or bicycle with plenty of walking and cycling routes available from the cottage. The views from the garden were magnificent and the cottage had everything you need for your stay.

Wonderful location in a part of the world we are completely in love with after 40 years of visits. Fabulous views over Corfe Castle and surrounding countryside. The house is a tardis as it is so much bigger than it appears from the outside. Conveniently situated for Worth Matravers and the Square and Compass pub , Swanage, Kimmeridge, Durdle Door, Read moreWarbarrow Bay etc. Spacious gardens and nice terraces. The kitchen is small but we coped ....all I'm all quite satisfactory. Hide

We have just had an absolutely beautiful time here with friends at this pretty and quirky cottage! We loved all of the rooms, character and all of the different levels. The cottage was so well equipped, we literally had everything we needed! We found it very comfy and cosy, especially the loving room with the log burner. We had a total of 5 childreRead moren 6 years and under stay, and we found it more than suitable for them. The views were breathtaking! Great location. We didnt want to leave! Hide

The cottage and location where fantastic we had a wonderful week.

The location and the cottage are beautiful and we had a great time however in April two of the bedrooms had no heating and were freezing. The garden is not entirely enclosed and with sheep in the next field we couldnt leave our dogs unsupervised. Other than that it is a great place to stay
