Overview
Property code: IC035

Head to Dorset’s Purbeck Hills and make yourself at home in this pretty stone cottage in Worth Matravers. Up to six of you can stay at the three-bedroom, mid-terrace property, which also welcomes one dog. Soak up the sunshine in your private, courtyard garden; go for long walks through your picturesque surroundings and choose between great places to swim, from rocky coves to sandy beaches.

Step into this enchanting property to find bright, airy rooms, with flagstone and wooden floors. Enjoy the gorgeous natural light in the lounge, where you can light the open fire on colder days as you play games together or watch TV or a DVD. Wander through to the galley-style kitchen at mealtimes and find it features an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher, and washing machine. A children’s bedroom can also be found downstairs: this has been arranged with a single bed and bunks. Head upstairs to discover a double bedroom and a twin, together with the family bathroom, which has a shower over the bath and a WC. Dine outside in the sunshine in the private courtyard and enjoy shared use of a lawned garden too. The Grade II-listed cottage comes with a permit for one car to use the village car park.

From the cottage, walk approximately 1 mile to the South West Coast Path, with its stunning views. Wander along the cliffs in either direction for more dramatic vistas of the Jurassic Coast. Clamber down on to the rocks at Winspit Quarry for a dip. Take children to swim at Swanage, 4 miles away, with its family-friendly sandy beach. Dine out in cafes and restaurants here too and take a stroll along the pier. For wilder sandy beaches try Studland Bay, 9 miles away.

Lovely location with excellent walks and pub. The cottage, although quaint, is in need of an upgrade

Nice and comfortable little cottage. We managed to cook Xmas dinner for 7 in the small kitchen. Very close to excellent walks, and the pub is great - serves some really good beers and staff are very welcoming.

Quirky, comfortable cottage on a narrow lane in an interesting village - with a sunny shared sitting area at the back, but the lounge and main bedroom are dark inside. Parking is up a steep hill at the other end of the village, and unloading may be difficult at busy times.

A really beautiful cottage in a fab location. Ideally located for us to explore the Purbecks and walk back from the pub! The kitchen is small but well stocked with anything you would need to cook dinner. The garden is lovely, has outdoor seating and a great BBQ.

The rustic C17th Century charm of the cottage & the village plus its location - off the beaten track & so close to many superb coastal walks, suited us perfectly. Everything in the cottage is just lovely, has everything you need, everything works perfectly, thoughtful interior decor & super comfy beds.

A fantastic cottage from which to explore the beautiful Jurassic coast. It was lovely and cool during the summers heat (which the dog appreciated perhaps the most) and I could imagine it being very snug in winter too with the fire going. We loved it.

Charming cottage in a lovely village location close to a pub and tea house. Great for scenic walks. Most suitable for the physically fit as stairs to both the split level garden and upstairs bedrooms & bathroom are challenging.
