Overview
Property code: DC125

This pretty Grade II-listed mid-row cottage is the ideal retreat for all the family. With a pub next door and a stunning garden, this is a true countryside getaway.

Located in the tranquil Dorset village of Church Knowle, this delightful and deceptively spacious Grade II-listed property makes a lovely getaway for a large family or a group of friends. Retaining plenty of original features including exposed beams, stonework and a Victorian feature fireplace, this traditional and cosy cottage is a charming base for exploring the idyllic Purbeck Hills and the stunning Jurassic Coast.

This welcoming and comfortable farmhouse-style cottage features a pretty lounge which has been tastefully decorated in neutral tones and makes a great space to relax in at the end of a great day out, with plenty of seating, a wood burner and TV/DVD player. There’s also a traditional breakfast room with an ornamental fireplace, and the kitchen is equipped with everything you may need. You can enjoy a fantastic meal in the light-filled conservatory/dining room which overlooks the garden and contains the cottage’s original exterior. There is also a games room including PS3 console and a reading area, perfect for children.  Exploring further, there are four cosy and peaceful bedrooms – two double rooms on the first floor and two twin rooms (accessed via two steep separate staircases) on the second floor. From the conservatory, you can step out into the charming garden which features a pretty lawn, trees, shrubs and a small patio with garden furniture so you can enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine while admiring the views of the Purbeck Hills.

This is a fantastic base for exploring the Purbeck region, with the quaint village and ruins of Corfe Castle (1.5 miles), the popular Victorian seaside town of Swanage (8 miles) and the thriving market town of Wareham (6 miles) all nearby. Local attractions include The Blue Pool (2 miles), Lulworth Castle (6 miles) and Hartland Moor National Nature Reserve (4 miles). There’s also a choice of wonderful beaches to enjoy including Kimmeridge Bay (3.5 miles), Studland Beach (5 miles), Lulworth Cove (8.5 miles) and Worbarrow Bay (5 miles).

We visited on the recommendation of a friend & weren't at all disappointed. The cottage is very clean/ spacious - 2 very generous doubles on the 1st floor and 2 twins in the roof, with 2 bathrooms and a downstairs toilet, so ideal for our group of 3 friends. We visited during Storm Isha, so didn't really use the conservatory or garden but it would Read morebe fantastic in the Spring/Summer. Didn't matter to us at all but I would just say that if you feel the cold and it's not the hottest heating system. Hide

Beautiful cottage, in a lovely location and well looked after. We really enjoyed our stay.

Location is great, garden is lovely and cottage very comfortable. A little rustic in places and we were staying for two nights over a weekend and didn't have enough towels for each person, toilet roll or dishwasher tablets which was a little annoying. We called to ask for the missing towels to be dropped off and they said they would be but weren't.Read more Some small annoyances but overall we really enjoyed the cottage for our girls weekend.
