The Nook

About this property

Enjoy Swanage and explore the picturesque Isle of Purbeck from this exquisite cottage that was once home to a quarryman. Sleeping just three guests, and welcoming a delighted dog as well, the enchanting, two-bedroom stone retreat, which looks out over the rolling Dorset countryside, has been beautifully restored. Approximately 1 mile from the centre of town and the sandy beach, it is well positioned for coastal and country walks.

Wander inside to find yourselves in an immaculate lounge with a stylish finish. Fire up the wood burner in here on autumn and winter days to bring a cosy glow to the space. Choose a book from the shelf or watch the Smart TV while you relax on the comfortable seating. Take a step up to make your way through to the airy kitchen/diner. Prepare delicious meals for your small party then gather around the table. Open the top of the stable door on bright summer days. There is also a utility room in this part of the cottage. Make your way up to the first floor to find the bedrooms. These include a king-size with rural views and a single, with an extra single, pull-out. The family bathroom is also up here. Delight in spending warm mornings lingering over coffee in the pretty cottage garden. Have a glass of wine out here in the evening and watch the stars appear above you.

Pack a picnic and venture 4 miles to Studland and its long, golden, dune-backed beach. Catch a heritage steam train from Swanage to Corfe Castle, where you can explore the ruins and potter in the shops. Plan a day out to Lulworth Cove, 14.5 miles away, where you can swim and snorkel. Durdle Door, with its rock arch, 16.5 miles away, is also a lovely place to visit.
