This adults-only, 19th-century stone cottage, set along a quiet road in the old quarter of Swanage, is the perfect retreat for couples looking to explore the Jurassic Coast. While the traditional décor is dated in parts, and the dining kitchen is compact, you can’t help but fall in love with the home’s period features. The cosy inglenook fireplace is prime for winter evenings, and the suntrap walled garden with views of the Purbeck Hills is a nice touch. It’s worth noting the staircase leading up to the bedrooms is narrow and steep. So while it looks charming, it might not suit everyone.

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. It’s perhaps most famous for the stone that has been quarried from its section of the Jurassic Coast since Roman times, with Purbeck Marble used in the construction of many of the most famous cathedrals in...
