Stood within the grounds of a working lighthouse, the setting of this traditional cottage is postcard-perfect.

About The Isle of Purbeck
Rather confusingly, the Isle of Purbeck isn’t an island. Instead, it’s a peninsula of around sixty square miles that points out of Dorset into the English Channel and surrounded by water on three sides.
