Overview
Property code: DC071

Facing an expanse of National Trust heathland, this attractive detached 1920s holiday home offers delightful accommodation for keen walkers and nature lovers looking to explore this idyllic area.

Set in the pretty Purbeck village of Studland, this lovely cottage makes a great getaway for a family or a couple looking for a charming retreat close to the stunning Dorset coast. Dating back to the 1920s and lovingly updated, this light and welcoming property is perfect for exploring sandy beaches, quaint seaside towns and glorious countryside. An ideal base for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers, the cottage is within easy reach of the popular Victorian resort of Swanage (3.5 miles).

On entering this attractive cottage, you will find a bright, welcoming and tastefully furnished lounge where you can relax in front of the open fire in the evening, sit back and enjoy a movie. There’s also a stylish and spacious kitchen/diner which provides an ideal space for sharing a favourite family meal. The ground floor also offers a light-filled conservatory overlooking the garden. There are three cosy bedrooms upstairs – a double and two twin rooms – each with views over the heath and with glimpses of the sea. Outside, there are two gated gardens with Purbeck stone paths. The back garden features a terrace with a pergola and outdoor furniture so you can relax with al fresco drinks or a meal. There’s also a choice of play equipment for children, including a slide.

The cottage overlooks the National Trust’s beautiful Studland and Godlingston Heath and is ideally placed for visiting Studland Bay (just over a mile away), Agglestone Rock (0.5 miles) and Dragons’ Teeth (1 mile).

We had a sunfilled October week away and loved the house. It catered perfectly for three households coming together to enjoy a family holiday. The house was in a perfect location with access straight onto the heath. 15 mins walk to the beach and only a bus ride away from Bournemouth.

Weather was glorious so we were at the beacRead moreh most days but there are many places to explore like Swanage, Corfe castle nearby and beyond! Well equipped kitchen but bring oven gloves! Hide

A lovely property in a perfect location ideally suited for a family with children. For the price some things could be improved. The two ring hob is inadequate for this property and well past its sell-by date: one of the two rings was only partially working during my stay. Storage is limited and not maximised. The grass should be cut more regularly Read moreand the patio needs weeding. Recycling arrangements are unhelpful. Some decluttering is needed. However, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Hide
