This welcoming property is set within the village of Winfrith Newburgh on Dorset’s beautiful Isle of Purbeck. With easy access to open countryside, there is no shortage of wonderful walking routes in the immediate area, while the Jurassic Coast is also within easy reach for those looking for prehistoric adventures.

Set across a single floor, which may be ideal for those with limited mobility, this well-placed property sleeps two guests and two canine companions, with an optional single bed available on request. The accommodation centres on an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, which creates a sociable space for you and your pack, with exposed beams providing character and a wood burner providing a warm and cosy atmosphere on cooler evenings. Outside, a separate seating area is found across the driveway which is ideal for taking your morning coffee or dining alfresco on warmer days, before retreating indoors where a double bedroom and bathroom with shower over bath awaits you.

With a local store and pub, Winfrith Newburgh puts the essentials you need for your stay within walking distance, while the village of Wool offers a wider selection of amenities 3 miles to the east. You are also close to some of the region’s iconic coastal landscapes, with the beach and rocky arch of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove found within 4 miles of your front door and Chesil Beach (15 miles away) offering a unique coastal walk. Meanwhile, urban hounds may prefer to sniff along the picture-postcard harbour at Weymouth (11 miles west), before exploring the local shops and eateries, and splashing in the surf on the sandy beach.

Very cosy little cottage. Well equipped with all that was needed. Easy to get to the beach albeit a little bit of a drive. The only disappointment to us was the lack of enclosed garden however this was down to us and not the owner.

Riverside View is a well-equipped cottage situated in an ideal location. This was our fourth visit, and once again, it did not disappoint. There is a great pub nearby, and a village shop. During the summer months, the village is well-served by the number 30, 31, and 54X buses, all of which connect to Lulworth Cove and surrounding areas.

Photograph of the garden area is misleading, we assumed from the photograph private garden area not a small grassy area off a busy courtyard. The cottage e is charming and ideal for a couple for a short holiday.
