Within half a mile of the National Trust’s long sandy beach at Studland Bay, this delightful and relaxing property offers a family an ideal base for exploring the spectacular Dorset countryside.
Just half a mile from the sandy Studland Bay is this modern holiday home. Perfect for family getaways by the sea, the cottage features light and airy rooms, fresh contemporary decor and a sunny rear garden with patio. Take a long walk along the 4-mile stretch of golden sand, spot wildlife in the heathland or have a go at one of the water sports on offer before enjoying a meal to remember in one of the local restaurants.
Inside, a cosy lounge with feature fireplace, Blu-ray DVD and iPod dock is a welcoming and homely room for relaxing in the evenings. At the rear of the house, both the kitchen and dining rooms are light and airy with doors opening onto the garden, adding an al fresco feel for those hazy summer months. With a sloping lawn bordered by trees and shrubs and a patio area with outdoor furniture, the garden is the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine after a long day on the beach. Steps lead down from the garden to a parking area where there is space for one car.
The sandy beach at Studland lies within easy walking distance of this property. Owned by the National Trust, Studland Bay offers gently shelving swimming waters, views of Old Harry Rocks and the Isle of Wight and a range of water sports. The heathland behind is a haven for native wildlife including nightjars, Dartford warblers and reptiles. Grab a bite to eat at one of the village's cafes / pubs or catch the ferry across the water to Sandbanks (4 miles) and Bournemouth (8.5 miles) for a wider range of dining, shopping and entertainment.
