Surrounded by the beautiful RSPB Stoborough Heath nature reserve, this attractive cottage enjoys a central location for a family looking to explore the Purbeck Hills, Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove.
It’s every doggy’s dream – a big house with a gigantic garden, located next to a nature reserve with hundreds of fresh new scents to discover. Stay at this Dorset cottage for a relaxing holiday among the chalk downs of the Purbeck Hills. There’s space for up to four humans and two dogs, making this property perfect for a family holiday or trip with friends.
Entered via three steps, this brick house has a clean, contemporary feel to it, with a fuss-free colour scheme and stylish furniture. In the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, stretch out on the sofas in the evening, perhaps watching a DVD together or listening to some music with some wine. Put your dog’s favourite bed at your feet so she can curl up beside you, feeling comforted by the familiar smells. When it’s time to rest your head, there is one bedroom on the first floor, and the other is on the second floor with reduced head height in the eaves. The spacious garden has a paved patio with furniture for fresh-air meals, plus a large lawn for the dogs to play on. Children will love spending time in the games room at the bottom of the garden.
You’ll find a dog-friendly pub 2 miles away where you can go for a pint in the evening. The market towns of Wareham (2 miles) and Studland (8.5 miles) are well worth a visit. For a dose of history, take your party to visit the impressive ruins of Corfe Castle (3.5 miles), where dogs on short leads are welcome. Fancy a day out by the coast with an impressive finale? Head to Lulworth Cove (9.5 miles) and walk 2.5 miles west to Durdle Door, the iconic limestone arch that juts out from the rock.
