Spread out and unwind in this spacious holiday retreat - a fantastic place for four to call their own. Set on the edge of Dorset’s National Landscape coastline, just 1 mile from the sea, this remarkable country cottage promises peace and total relaxation. A footpath leads directly from the property to Winspit Cove (1 mile), and the South West Coast Path stretches out on either side, offering an endless array of scenic walks, hikes and nature-spotting excursions. When the day’s adventure is done, make your way to Worth Matravers’ local pub (less than 0.5 miles), a beloved cornerstone of village life that offers a warm welcome, quality pints and even a miniature fossil museum.

Built from Purbeck Stone, this handsome cottage is brimming with original character and charming features. Step into the rustic lounge/diner, a generous space with more than enough room for four to relax. A wood burner set within an original stone fireplace creates a cosy, inviting atmosphere on cooler days. Steps lead from here into the kitchen – a more contemporary space with a central island that brings family life together. A unique 17th-century box staircase leads up to two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, while a light-filled sunroom on the ground floor offers yet another space in which to unwind. Outside, a terraced garden and private parking for one car complete the property.

Explore the Isle of Purbeck on foot or by bike, discovering the rich history and fascinating fossils of Dorset’s most celebrated natural attraction, the Jurassic Coast. Visit Swanage (4 miles), a lively seaside town with nostalgic charm, mild weather and its own micro-climate that enhances sunny day escapes. Venturing inland, explore the ancient village of Corfe Castle (4 miles), cared for by the National Trust, and the tranquil beauty of The Blue Pool Nature Reserve (7 miles).

This was a wonderful place to stay. Quarrymans Cottage has lots of traditional charm and individuality which makes it feel like a much loved home, alongside a very well appointed modern kitchen and bathroom. The position is perfect in the heart of the village and with easy access to the stunning coast path. The owner made contact to kindly ensure wRead moree had everything we needed. Hide

A charming cottage in a beautiful location and close to the Square and Compass, one of the finest pubs in the UK. The cottage has recently been refurbished and it has everything you could ever need, is spotlessly clean and has comfortable beds. I would highly recommend.

What a fabulous cottage. Cosy and full of light. The sun room is a joy, the garage very convenient and the village and surrounding area great for walks. Our host was thoughtful and very responsive when we had any questions. I would highly recommend.
