For a peaceful Dorset getaway with your loved ones and dogs, stay at this charming limestone bungalow in lovely Worth Matravers. This picturesque village is located within an AONB, so the scenery nearby is wonderful. You’ll be 100 metres from the village green and its iconic duck pond, which features regularly on Isle of Purbeck postcards. With space for six over three bedrooms, this charming one-storey home is fantastic for a family group or holiday among good friends.
Head up the sloped grassy garden to your front door, which opens to an inviting open-plan living area where you can relax, socialise and dine. This space is light and airy, with pleasant decorative touches including artwork on the walls. An open fireplace helps you stay cosy during chilly weather, and there’s a circular table for you all to gather around for meals. The kitchen is all set up for a self-catering stay. In good weather, relax with a hot or cold beverage in the property’s tranquil garden, featuring a large lawn, trees, shrubs and garden furniture.
Nearby, you can enjoy a pint or two at the fantastic country pub 150 metres from your front door. This popular inn attracts visitors from near and far thanks to its impressive collection of local fossils and artefacts. When it’s time for a wander, it’s worth checking out Chapman’s Pool, a secluded cove with a rich abundance of fossils (1.5 miles). Swimming enthusiasts will love venturing to the rocky beach at Seacombe (1 mile) which is also the nearest point of the South West Coast Path. Additionally, the bustling town of Swanage, 4 miles away, provides a sandy beach, a heritage railway, and a variety of shops and restaurants.
