Cosy, three-bed short walk from Studland's beaches

This property provides a perfect holiday location for young families, keen walkers, and water-sport enthusiasts. Ideally located with only a short walk to Studland's beautiful beaches, heathlands and the lovely Pig-on-the-Beach restaurant. The cottage sleeps 5 adults, or 6 if travelling with children.

Studland's gorgeous sandy beaches offer calm seas, water sports and the hiring of equipment, with dreamy views that stretch from Old Harry Rocks to the Isle of Wight. The property is surrounded by National Trust land offering walks to Godlingston Heath's Agglestone Rock, Old Harry Rocks, and the Studland Nature Reserve. The Pig-on-the-Beach and The Bankes Arms pub are a short stroll away, and there is a small playground across the road for little ones. The local village shop is 200m away with fresh local produce, great wine/beer selection and a post office.

There is a charming wood stove for those colder evenings and a wonderful garden to the front and back of the property offering further family enjoyment. There is a shed for locking up bikes/water sport equipment.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker.

Perfect Stay

The property is in an excellent location close to the beaches, the village shop and in a very quiet road. There is a walk for the dog across the road perfect for first thing in the morning and last thing at night.The house is well laid out, the beds comfortable and the shower room downstairs a bonus. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of room and all appliances needed.Outside is a comfortable sun trap patio.We would definitely recommend and would like to return.

Clean and spacious!!!

This property is just darling with plenty of space to accommodate three adults and two children!! The gardens were perfect for cocktails along with plenty of space for the children to get their wiggles out! We appreciated the walkability to restaurants, the beach, and a local market! Our host was readily accessible from the states and answered any questions I had in front of our stay ‼‼ My grandson gave the cozy cottage 10 thumbs up!! We look forward to returning to Dorset and the Jurassic Coast and would welcome the opportunity to visit this lovely accommodation again 🤩

What a great place for visiting Studland and the Purbecks. Plenty of things to do, even when it rains. The house is perfect for a family and dogs. The children loved the bunk beds and the park over the road. The garden is pretty and secure for the dogs. There is an elegant patio area for outside dining.We love visiting here

Perfectly located house for small children

The cottage is lovely inside and spotlessly clean. Everything you need is provided and the owner was very easy to contact and left details of heating etc. The grandchildren loved the garden and the bunk beds too. Just a short walk to South beach and a good little shop and popular pub with great sea views.

Good holiday but some reservations.

Liked the house but a few things as follows:- 1. The stair railing should extend to the top of the staircase, currently difficult for old or infirm.. 2.The 1st floor WC very slow to fill and doesn't always clear the pan and was a real nuisance. 3. the 1st floor washbasin (excellent in itself) requires taps to be rewashered, reseated or replaced if necessary. Services - We had a problem using the oven when the timer apparently locked off. No instructions re the cooker in the Welcome Pack and only resolved after receiving advice by telephone. Had considerable difficulty reaching the Landlady on telephone and initially she was unable to help us. The hot water supply failed and in fact the last two days of our stay we had no hot water. It came on again on the morning we left. We raised this with Landlady when it first occurred but she never followed up to see if problem was resolved. This appears to be an electrical timer fault. In view of the above I consider an appropriate refund should be made and it should be taken on board that the Landlady should be available to handle problems or have someone else on call. We did not enter any of these comments in the visitor book as they would sound unfairly negative.
