Castle Forge is an authentic blacksmith’s building, originating from the worker’s dwellings of the nearby Encombe Estate, and retaining many original features within its historic walls. Its location, in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck peninsula, affords guests unrivalled views, famous walks, incredible cycle routes, legendary historical landmarks, exceptional nearby coastlines, and just bags of Dorset charm! The property boasts high-vaulted ceilings with structural roof beams, Purbeck flagstone flooring, exposed stone walls, exceptional natural light, a stone courtyard, and private parking bay for 2 cars. You’re welcomed into this beautiful holiday home through the rear of the building and courtyard, into a relaxing lounge. There’s a substantial L-shaped leather sofa and armchair, surrounding a coffee table, wood burner and smart tv — creating a cosy environment for kicking back. This space flows into an expansive kitchen dining area with high ceiling. The kitchen is well-stocked with integrated and standalone appliances, including a fridge freezer unit, dishwasher, microwave, cooker with electric induction hob; plus all the cookware, dinnerware, cutlery and utensils you’d expect for a family getaway There’s an oak dining table set for memorable family gatherings in the middle of the room. Off this space is the first of the bedrooms, a lovely bright twin room, with two single beds, with a chest of drawers for storage, a skylight, and window. Through the dining area towards the front side of the property leads to a bright, newly installed, full family bathroom — complete with bathtub, shower cubicle, toilet and basin. The next room is a double bedroom with ensuite, with a metal framed double bed, side tables, and a large wardrobe. The ensuite shower room has a shower cubicle, toilet, basin, storage unit, and heated towel rail. Through the next door, the last bedroom area could be classed as a family room, and contains both a large king bedroom, and an adjoining smaller single room with its own door. The larger of the spaces is another gorgeous bedroom with kingsize bed, side cabinets, a wardrobe, and original features including exposed beams and vaulted ceilings. The smaller room is a cosy nook down a couple of steps, with lovely stone walls, a single side table, and comfy single bed, this space would be ideal as a nursery or for the younger members of the family as is tucked away from the main house creating a quiet cosy space for a restful night’s sleep. Outside, the courtyard, back through the lounge, is a great place to enjoy al fresco dining or a drink, and has a private enclosed feel surrounded by stone.

Neighbourhood Description: A short stroll from the property is The Scott Arms pub, a highly rated and popular destination that offers great food and local ales. The village of Corfe Castle is a short drive (or cycle) away, with its legendary medieval hilltop castle attracting visitors all year round. A heritage railway station in the village is well worth booking for an amazing steam railway experience with outstanding views. It connects the village to other popular destinations such as Swanage with its iconic golden sand beach within a picturesque bay and Victorian promenade. The Jurassic Coast is nearby, with beaches like Kimmeridge being a popular spot for fossil hunters, surfers and hikers. The horseshoe Lulworth cove, with its crystal-clear blue waters, is well worth a visit; whilst the limestone Durdle Door and Man O’War beaches further down have breathtaking cliff top views. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - Up to 99 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Single level property - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 969 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113580000/113571900/113571842/4cefedf0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wonderful 2 Bedroom Barn conversion in stunning setting with outstanding views Kingston - Washing machine - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=113571842&PinnedHotelID=113571842&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114820000/114812200/114812188/503dd67a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Little Barn Escape: Serene Getaway with Scenic Views of Corfe Castle Kingston - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=114812188&PinnedHotelID=114812188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/92000000/91820000/91811900/91811895/f8dec586.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Independent Garden Wing of Dorset country house Kimmeridge - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-09&endDate=2026-02-10&selected=91811895&PinnedHotelID=91811895&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106960000/106951200/106951168/543f1913.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old Post Office, annex with bedroom, onsuite and lounge with kitchenette.
