Overview
Property code: 81369

Beautiful beaches, iconic locations and family-friendly attractions lie close to home so you can enjoy days out with guests of all ages. Sleeping six over three bedrooms, this home is flooded with natural light, sophisticated style and charm, making it the perfect abode to return to after days in the great outdoors. Conveniently located just off the A351 which leads to Swanage the cottage is less than a half a mile from the National Trust-owned ruins of Corfe Castle, explore nearby by hopping on a train to the golden sands of Swanage (5.5 miles).

 

Climb external steps and find yourself inside this beautiful home. Make the brilliantly bright kitchen/diner your first stop and unload your provisions whilst waiting for the kettle to boil. With all you need to cook up a storm, wash holiday outfits, and host sociable dinners, spend time slicing, dicing and dining in this fresh space before retiring to the lounge. After stepping down to the inner hallway, settle in the lounge in front of the feature wall and put your feet up on the comfortable sofa or the chair to relax. Great for family film nights, choose your film and pile the coffee table high with treats. Rinse the day away in the contemporary, family shower room before heading to bed in one of three tranquil bedrooms. The twin room, great for younger guests who want to enjoy a sleepover, is reached via ladder-style stairs and sits in the eaves of the house so care must be taken of the sloping ceilings. Rise and shine and take a morning coffee through the French doors and outside to the multi-level patio. There is off-road parking for two cars.

 

Fantastically located, spend mornings wandering Corfe Common (1 mile) and admiring the remains of Corfe Castle before making your way to Swanage for a day by the sea (5.5 miles). If you fancy a hike, hop on the Purbeck Ridge walk, a 9-mile trail winding its way from the local area, past Old Harry Rocks and down to Swanage where you can reward yourselves with a bite to eat and a refreshing dip before jumping on the train to head home.

Lovely cottage and walking distance to local amenities and Corfe Castle. Although we loved the cottage it is very close to the main road and as such a little noisy as far as traffic is concerned.

Lovely cottage, everything is fitted out to a very high standard. The sofas are particularly comfortable electric recliners. Location is nearly perfect and the majestic view of the castle is only a few minutes walk away. Beach is about 10 minutes by car and the Tank Museum and Monkey World are only about 20 minutes. The nearby Castle Inn is a very Read morefriendly pub that serves good food and beer at fair prices. The cottage is close to the road which can get busy and a bit noisy in good weather. Hide

We had an excellent week staying at Potters Barn in Corfe. The house was extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped. There were numerous walks and visits very close by which we took full advantage of and then we enjoyed watching the Euros on the super large TV in the evening with our feet up in the comfy recliners.

Potters Barn is beautiful, the ground floor bedrooms are so light and sunny. Its spotlessly clean, plenty of equipment if you need to cook. The beds are super comfy too. The location is great too, just a 10 minute walk to the village centre. A perfect little retreat.

Cottage is in great location for walking into Corfe Castle and local shops and pubs. Also good for access to Studland, Swanage and Lulworth Cove. Kimmeridge Bay is a hidden treasure if you like peace and quiet. Main road runs straight past property and can get very busy with queues of traffic at certain times of day.

Excellent cottage, with parking and only 5 mins walk into the village of Corfe Castle. We were extremely lucky with the weather so were able to enjoy the private garden at the back and the wonderful surrounding area either by car or on the local buses which ran from outside the cottage. Would definitely go back here and recommend to friends.

We were thoroughly impressed with the property - it was spacious, well equipped and very clean. The biscuits, tea, coffee & milk were a lovely touch and very welcome. The property is the perfect location to explore Corfe Castle which is 5-minute walk & Swanage which is a 10-minute drive. We hope to return soon.
