This stylish property sits alongside a working farm and is the ideal base for walkers wishing to explore the Purbecks or for visits to the iconic local pub and quaint village tea rooms

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Dorset’s Isle of Purbeck, with a stay at this three-bedroom holiday home beside a working farm in the pretty village of Worth Matravers. Up to five guests are welcome to stay at the traditional, detached, stone cottage, which has been beautifully renovated and offers single-storey accommodation. Just 1 mile from the coast, it is ideally situated for reaching the South West Coast Path and Jurassic Coast beauty spots.

Follow the farm track to the charming cottage and step into the reception hall via the door at the back of the property. Head into the inviting, open-plan kitchen/diner which captures views of the undulating countryside. Prepare food in this stylish space and then serve a tasty dinner to members of your party around the table. Discover a utility room and WC next door. Spend your evenings relaxing in the airy lounge, with its glass doors, picture window and TV/DVD. A king-size and single bedroom share the elegant family bathroom, while a super-king-size room benefits from an en-suite bathroom.

Swim here or plan a seaside trip into family-friendly Swanage, 4 miles away. Spend time on the beach at the seaside town and have fish and chips before heading home. Plan a day out to Studland Bay, 6 miles away, which is known for its wilder sandy stretches. Corfe Castle, 4 miles from the cottage, is also worth visiting.

A lovely and spacious cottage, very modern , plenty of parking. Access and exit from either entrance was a little tricky , and pot holes to avoid. Very quiet in March , a nice retreat in a well located village with some lovely walks , and a quirky local pub.

Lovely accommodation with fantastic views, though had to wait for the mist to burn off a couple of times. Easy access to Swanage and Wareham. Very well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Just beware for anyone who isnt steady on their feet that the bathroom tiles have a matt finish so stick-on hand rails dont grip.
