This Grade II listed cottage is located in the traditional village of Worth Matravers, a quiet place with a duck pond, welcoming village pub, and tearoom. There are some wonderful coastal walks to be had in the area, and walking out to Winspit Cove from the property offers breath-taking views and swimming for strong swimmers only. Further around the coast, to the north-east, the seaside town of Swanage is more suited to families, offering a wide sandy beach, waterfront amusements, a pier, and a choice of places to eat. A little further north still, the National Trust owned coastline at Studland Bay has a quiet dune-backed beach from where it is possible to take the chain ferry across to Poole Harbour to the upmarket resort of Sandbanks.
With its whitewashed walls, wooden floorboards, and stone fireplaces, this property has a delightfully authentic cottage-feel to it and, makes a lovely place for a relaxing stay. The lounge is an attractive room which offers a wealth of period features alongside comfortable furnishings, an open fire, flagstone flooring, and a TV/DVD. Next to the lounge, the galley-style kitchen, though small is nonetheless well-equipped and offers an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher, and washing machine. The first of the property’s three bedrooms can also be found on the ground floor, a pretty children’s room offering a single bed and a set of bunk beds. Two further bedrooms can be found on the first floor of the cottage, the first of which is a restful double room, whilst the other is a tranquil twin room. The bathroom, meanwhile, offers a shower over bath and WC.
Outside, there is a pleasant courtyard area with garden furniture which is for the sole use of guests staying at the cottage. In addition to this, guests have access to a lawned garden which is shared with the neighbouring cottage, which is furnished with garden furniture. Parking is available in the village car park for which a permit is provided.
