Overview
Property code: DC098

A spacious stone cottage offering a peaceful retreat to the coast with distant sea glimpses. Well situated to explore the endless attractions and seaside towns of the beautiful southern coast.

Set on the edge of Langton Matravers in glorious South Dorset countryside, this sweet cottage is perfect for exploring the Jurassic Coast and this quintessential corner of English coast. Discover the independent shops, pubs, pier, steam railway, galleries, seafront and eateries of Swanage (1.5 miles). Encounter rare wildlife at the exquisite Studland and Godlingston Heath Nature Reserve (4 miles), bask on Knoll and South Beach (5 miles), or catch a ferry across to Sandbanks (23 miles by road). Langton Matravers (0.5 miles) has a lovely pub and a brilliant ‘Dinosaur Footprints’ walk along the Priests Way, which connects the village with Swanage. Walk from Durlston Country Park (3 miles) to nearby Anvil Lighthouse, for dramatic vistas and breathtaking sea views.

Located in a wing of the owner’s home, inside the cottage you’ll find an abundance of cosy rustic comfort. Relax in the intimate lounge, reminiscing with wine on days of coastal adventure. Prepare supreme local seafood in the sea-blue and sandy yellow kitchen, and dine al fresco on the partially walled, sun-trap patio. After a steaming shower, retire to your blissful double bedroom with its wide windows and tranquil decor. Distant sea vistas will tempt you.

Find sublime sands at Swanage, Studland’s Shell Bay (6.5 miles), and two gorgeous golden stretches at Sandbanks. RSPB Arne Nature Reserve (9.5 miles) is one of England’s finest wild habitats; its heaths, wetlands and ancient woods are home to all six British reptile species, and countless other rare and colourful creatures. Hartland Moor and Stoborough Heath Nature Reserves (6.5/8 miles) offer more magical scenery, serenity and secret wonders. Discover picturesque Wareham (10 miles), and travel the Jurassic Coast on the Sea Train Adventure, by land and sea from Swanage to Poole (18.5 miles). This landscape and its scintillating memories will glow within you forever.

This cottage caters for all our specific needs, a shower which is not over the bath as we are not as spry these days, a comfortable bed and chairs, a well equipped kitchen, on site parking and a garden to sit in. The enclosed garden was important when we had a dog.

Anne and David were perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble. Little Mayflower was well equipped and we were very happy there. Convenient position for lots of local attraction and walks. Safe parking was a bonus too . We also had a nice welcome from Bertie the dog most days.

Excellent comfortable property for two located close to Swanage and within easy reach of a broad range of attractions. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, with advice about places to visit and to eat. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Isle of Purbeck and surrounding areas of Dorset.

This cottage is lovely. It has been equipped well and the owners are always on hand if you need anything. Situated well for getting into Swanage with about a 1.5 mile walk but also good to get out and about to other areas.

Small, comfortable cottage attached to owners propert. Easy to find and only a couple of minutes from Swanage beach area. Ideal for a couple . Had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was very nice and friendly and all though we never needed to ask, Im sure she would be more than helpful if anything needed doing.
