  • Set over multiple levels with many original character features to be admired
Property code: OC-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.

Location was great with fantastic views and excellent bus links. Our party of six plus one dog had plenty of room to spread out. The good weather meant we could make full use of the enormous garden, particularly appreciated by the children and the dog.

A perfect cottage in a perfect location . Love the quirky layout plenty of space for everyone . Kitchen is small and so is the fridge . But that said it is a great house and the huge garden is perfect . Views to die for and Swallows and Swifts all around as an added bonus .

Lovely views over the countryside & Corfe Castle from fantastic garden. Dog owners be aware the garden is not secure - open entrance to neighbours garden. Kitchen quite small - only really suitable for one person at a time - but well equipped. Lounge - comfortable. EV charger is shared with neighbouring cottage which is not made clear. We had no prRead moreoblems but it could cause issues if both parties want to charge at the same time, especially the night before leaving. Hide

We had a very pleasant week at Purbeck Cottage. It is beautifully situated with fantastic views across to Corfe Castle and beyond. We were able to easily park 3 cars with some care. The two seating areas outside were lovely to use. The living room was very comfortable and WIFI seemed to work well. Sleeping accommodation is quite adequate, the kitchRead moreen is small but well equipped. Bathrooms were fine except the shower which was pretty weak. We were grateful for the games and local info/map etc. Hide

Just the best view from the cottage! Garden gorgeous- beautifully maintained and great space for dog to run around. Well equipped kitchen. Beds and bedding very comfy-especially master. Hopefully something can be done with shower pressure and bring loo rolls! Pub right next door which does a good meal and pint.

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.
