We really enjoyed our week here. The cottage was very comfortable, newly furnished and quiet. There is plenty of parking. We chose it because we would be able to walk into Corfe instead of using the car all the time. Its about a 10 mins walk into the pretty village, the castle and the railway station for trains to Swanage. The Castle Inn is a decenRead moret pub, 5 mins away. The Pink Goat is good for coffee or lunch. We recommend this cottage. The garden is a sun trap with furniture and barbecue. Hide
