We loved the location of this cottage because it's so quiet but within such easy walking distance to the centre of Corfe. The garden too is a real asset if you have good enough weather to be able to use it.

We can thoroughly recommend this well equipped, traditional cottage in a quiet road in this very pretty village. The upstairs bedrooms are exceptionally nice. We appreciated the quality linen and towels. The simple back garden, lawn surrounded by trees was an excellent shady place to rest after strenuous walks on the nearby downs or after a day on Read morethe many beaches within easy distance. Hide

This modernised but still older style cottage in parts, yes I'm talking about the slightly difficult top step and landing, would suit anyone looking for a lovely and peaceful location in a village which has views, walks, a bakery and first rate local shop just minutes walk away. We loved it here, helped by being able to sit out in the lovely gardenRead more which made our week. We've made a few suggestions eg about better light screening at bedroom windows and bathroom shower update but see you in 2024! Hide

Excellent property all round, which suited our family group of 6 adults well. I can't remember what the brochure details said but if it wasn't mentioned, the steep twisting staircase might not be for everyone. Location very quiet and out of the busy village centre, yet within easy walking distance of it.
