Situated in the charming hamlet of Ulwell, on the outskirts of Swanage towards the fashionable Studland Village and Bay. Swanage is a traditional coastal town with a popular sandy beach and a great selection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Rolling hills surround the town, ensuring you’ll have the best of both worlds when it comes to walking routes, with the South West Coast Path, Ballard Down and Durlston Country Park all within 2 miles. From here, you can take the steam train to Corfe Castle, which is home to castle ruins cared for by the National Trust, as well as pretty streets to explore. Within 14 miles are many attractions including Monkey World, The Tank Museum, RSPB Arne, the walled town of Wareham, and abandoned Tyneham village. Old Harry Rocks and Studland Village are walkable from the cottage which offers direct access onto the South West Coast Path.

This 17th-century Mill cottage has recently been lovingly restored, keeping original features, to offer beautiful accommodation for the whole family to enjoy. Enter via the front door into a spacious hallway with space to hang up the winter coats and muddy boots. Arranged over four floors, take a few steps down into the master bedroom with a double bed, an en-suite shower room, and French doors leading onto the rear garden. On the ground floor, there are two further bedrooms and a shower room. On the first floor, there is a snug for those cosy evenings in front of the log burner and a Smart TV, with a picture window boasting views across the open countryside. Up to the second floor, where the wow factor is the double-height open-plan living/dining/kitchen room with stunning views over the rolling countryside towards the sea in the distance. This well-equipped room offers space for the whole family to relax on the comfy sofa in front of the open fire or gather around the dining table at meal times.
