Overview
Property code: 78042

This characterful stone cottage is set on a hilltop with breathtaking views of Dorset’s countryside. Situated in the quaint village of Kingston, you will be admiring the chocolate box cottages and indulging in a cream tea in no time. There are plenty of energy-burning walks from your doorstep or just grab your buckets and head for the beach. Sleeping up to seven across four warm bedrooms and space for up to two furry-pawed pals, it is the perfect place to gather the family together to make lasting holiday memories.

 

This characterful property is set within a terrace. Period charm does mean low ceilings, doorways and varying levels so please bear in mind the mobility of your party. Comfortable sofas in the lounge invite you to relax in front of a film or doze the evening away. The kitchen has everything you need to feed hungry tums; a handy hidden TV/DVD in the dining room means meals can be long and leisurely. Bedrooms are spread across the cottage, from characterful bunk rooms in the converted outbuilding to a pretty double with space for a sleeping babe. An enclosed garden is perfect for pups and children to let off steam while you relax on the terrace or dine alfresco on sunnier days.

 

With views from the cottage, you will be curious to explore Corfe Castle (2 miles) which welcomes dogs on leads and hosts interactive history-inspired activities for little ones. Exercise legs and paws on a range of walks, from a circular pub walk around Old Harrys Rocks to the 6-mile South Purbeck Cliffs walk on the South West Coast Path. Swanage beach (5 miles) is perfect for some sandcastle building and has all you need for a family day out.

This is a delightful cottage, full of character and with stunning views. There was plenty of room for 6 adults and two children, who slept in bunk beds. Really appreciate having two bathrooms and an extra loo on the ground floor! The garden is enormous - plenty of space for the children to run around, and for playing Boules, etc. The patios are welRead morel placed so that you can enjoy breakfast in the sun in the morning, and drinks in the evening on the second one.

Purbeckview Cottage is in a perfect spot. The views are amazing. The garden is large and well cared for, good for dogs, children or just sitting in. The cottage is well equipped, we found it very useful to be able to use the electric charger for our car. The pub at the end of the garden did not intrude in any way and we ate there a few times.

The cottage is in a great location, near to lots of places of interest, and with a superb view Well equipped and comfortable with plenty of outside furniture in different parts of the large garden. We enjoyed our visits to the nearby pub, which although the beer garden was busy didnt disturb us at all. We hope to stay at Purbeck View again

The location, garden and view are first rate. The property was clean and tidy on arrival. The kitchen is very small and cutlery/crockery divided between it and the dining room next door - a serious challenge when catering for a special event or a number of people.

This property is 5 stars; the pictures are accurate, but can't do the location justice. Lots of room. Beds good to very good. The Scott Arms is good for Friday or Saturday night Pop-up dinner (Jamaican menu) but otherwise, just drinks for the view. Restaurants in Corfe Castle village are good to very good.

The position of the house is amazing with fabulous views towards Corfe. The garden is beautiful with plenty of seating.
