The charming village of Corfe Castle sits below the much-photographed castle ruins cared for by the National Trust. The village is well-serviced with local amenities and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, including the ancient Corfe Castle Common. Miles of footpaths are easily accessible via nearby Red Lane or take the steam train from the village station to the traditional seaside town of Swanage (5.5 miles) where you can enjoy the sandy beach and amusements on offer. The property is conveniently located near the A351 which leads to Swanage from Corfe Castle. Heading north from the property takes you to the unspoilt beaches of Studland Bay (5.5 miles). For a fun-filled day out, visit the ever-popular Tank Museum or Monkey World ape rescue centre, both within 11 miles.

Enter this newly refurbished in 2024, well-designed, home-from-home semi-detached property via the spacious stone-floored hallway where you can kick off your walking boots. The charming living room features a wood burner, a stone floor and underfloor heating, creating a cosy ambience. French doors lead from the living room to the enchanting rear garden, allowing the outside to blend seamlessly with the indoors. Continuing your journey, a door leads to the fully fitted kitchen equipped with contemporary amenities. A door from the kitchen opens into the conservatory, transformed into a delightful dining room where natural light bathes every meal. Convenience meets style with a downstairs WC where you can also find the washing machine. Ascend the stairs to discover the upper level, where three inviting bedrooms await. The master bedroom boasts a comfortable king-size bed, while a twin and a single bedroom provide versatile sleeping arrangements. The single room has a quirky feature fireplace. The family bathroom is a sanctuary, offering both a relaxing bath and a separate shower.

The large garden is a tranquil holiday haven: the perfect place for unwinding after a day of exploration or watching the children play on the lawn. Discover a small, safely covered pond, adding an extra touch of serenity to the surroundings. Yet, the real spectacle lies in the breathtaking view. Keep a keen eye out for the distant steam train, its rhythmic journey providing a picturesque backdrop to your stay.

Gorgeous cottage - super cosy. We loved the underfloor heating and conservatory space. We really appreciated the enclosed garden - perfect for the dogs. Lovely touch to have dog basket and blankets available. Perfect base to explore the area and happily cosy up indoors on rainy days.

This was a comfy and cosy cottage about a five minute walk from the middle of the village. 4 good pubs to choose from - amazing food in all of them and friendly staff. Beds were very comfy as well. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Wood burner gave out plenty of heat - please make sure you get dry, seasoned logs . We purchased some from the villaRead morege but these were damp and a pain to light. Well enclosed and sizeable back garden. The kitchen was lovely - modern and stylish. I would definitely recommend and we will return next year. Hide

Wow! What a wonderful stay we had at Fig Tree Cottage. Lovely cottage in a great location to explore the Isle of Purbeck. Very clean and deceptively sized secure back garden for our dog. We enjoyed ourselves so much, we have already rebooked to return next year! What more can I say.

The cottage was really comfortable, well kitted out and made for an enjoyable base for our holiday - really nice to be able to walk into Corfe which is very quiet/relaxed in the evening. The garden was particularly useful and beautiful as well.

This was a lovely house and impeccably clean. It had a beautiful garden , great for the dog in a really nice little village. The property had some lovely touches but could be improved by much more comfortable lounge seating; a shower cabinet that is larger and seals better and maybe a change of dining room table and chairs.

We had an amazing stay in Figtree Cottage - our stay exceeded our expectations and we hope to return again next year. The cottage has everything you could need and more. So many thoughtful details have been added, including night sensor lights, comfortable garden furniture, cosy blankets and fluffy cushions, lots of kitchen equipment and puzzles, bRead moreooks and games. The cottage was stylishly decorated with a high quality finish - we loved the flooring, underfloor heating, Roman blinds and comfy reading chair. The garden was a lovely space to relax in with lots of greenery, birds, lovely views and the sound of the steam trains. Plenty of parking on the drive and a great location in the village. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property. Hide
