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.

Beautiful Studland

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

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 🤩

Lovely house in a quiet location

Cosy and well thought out property. The garden was also lovely. Having two bathrooms also helped when two sets of adults are staying. Good communication from the owner and everything you would need for a comfortable stay is supplied.

Great place to stay in a wonderful location

The house is very comfortable, extremely well-equipped and set in a peaceful road close to the beautiful beaches of Studland. Easy walk to the village store and the pub and stunning walks across the heathland straight from the door. Enclosed garden is a bonus and easy parking. We loved it.

Footpath onto heathland opposite was great for quick dog walks first thing in the morning.House well equipped and very clean. 2 bathrooms a real bonus.Property had a really homely feel.

Well equipped, comfortable property, ideal for our group of 4 adults. Great location for visiting Swanage and the Studland peninsular. Difficult to control the temperature in the shower room and woodburner didn't draw well but otherwise an excellent property.

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.

Perfect beach holiday

The house was perfect for us, our daughter, grandchildren and dogs. The garden was sunny all day long and fully enclosed. The house was well equipped and had everything we needed. The children loved the park opposite the house. Studland is a great location for beaches and exploring the Purbecks.
