The house was great large enough to accommodate 4 generations of our family and a dog too, the down stairs bedroom and bathroom was great for my elderly disabled mum, it’s in a peaceful setting with lovely garden fully equipped with everything you could possibly need plus a pub just a few doors away, we were out and about each day and found this an ideal base

A beautiful modern home, well equipped with great facilities.

We really enjoyed our stay. The host left all the little extras that we could need which just added to the great experience. The property is spacious and wonderfully light with a large open plan living space and all the bedrooms are large and comfortable.

This house was beautiful and so spacious. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable and modern, and the living accommodation equally so. The kitchen was well equipped, which was good, as we stayed over Christmas, and the garden a lovely space for our dogs. My only criticism is that the downstairs bedroom, which was facing away from the sun, didn't really get warm enough, despite having two double radiators. My disabled husband was using this room and it wasn't as cosy as the bedrooms upstairs. Overall though, we very much enjoyed our stay celebrating Christmas.

Good time was had by all including the dogs.

Absolutely gorgeous house!

We were very sad to leave today. This spacious house is beautifully furnished and equipped with a wonderful kitchen and luxurious bathrooms with walk in showers. It has a good sized garden and views of the hills. There is a small path that leads to the picturesque high street, post office/shop and nice pub. Thanks to Angela who also made us very welcome and left breakfast and some wine. What more could anyone want from a holiday home!

Total Chillout Place

A great property which had some lovely open plan living space which meant we could all be together more of the time. the rooms where a great size with really comfy beds and with three bathrooms there was no queuing for your turn. The house is in a really quiet, peaceful village just a stones throw away from Swanage with no traffic sounds and views from the pretty garden over the rolling farm fields. The milk and bubbly in the fridge was a great touch. Loved everything about this place.

Brilliant cottage for 3 couples

A lovely cottage with fabulous facilities for all. A lovely welcome bottle of Fizz and great breakfast bits. Thank you very much. Just needed the 4th bedroom to be bit more comfortable as the bed squeaked. Great for kids bit not adults. Only draw back as we loved the cottage and its location. Thank you

Family Stay

There were 5 adults and my young Grandson staying for 4 nights and have to say we were impressed with the space in the house ! The bedrooms were huge and the 2 en-suites and family bathroom were a godsend ! Garden was impressive also ! The local pub 2minutes walk away through a small alleyway brings you right to its door and had a lovely sun trap of a garden ! The food there was very good ! Situated a couple of miles outside town was a few minutes drive and there is ample parking in Swanage where you pay by the Just Park App which came in handy ! The downstairs open plan kitchen lounge and dining area was perfect for us and lots of furniture to sit in ! Worked for us !

The perfect house for friends or family who love to cook, play games and take walks.

Over Christmas my husband and I stayed here with our parents and 2 dogs. We love to cook, so the fact that the house has a large, well equipped kitchen and a big dining table too is perfect. With 4 large bedrooms and three large bathrooms, there is privacy for everyone, if wanted. The large, comfortable lounge is ideal for socialising and playing games. To top it all, there are some great walks straight from the house and a proper pub just 30 seconds away! We loved the house and Angela was a super helpful host. We would happily stay here again.

A wonderful experience

This is a perfect house for a large group, especially a family of three generations. Most can have a large bedroom effectively with private shower/toilet facilities, and a superb flexible open space downstairs to accommodate varying needs. It is perfectly equipped and maintained. And the garden is gorgeous. Good parking for at least three cars, and a perfect location. Can't recommend too highly.

A week in Langton Matravers

My parents have been holidaying in the area for many years, and this was a great house for a family group of mixed ages. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom was perfect for my parents who are in their 80s. The open plan kitchen, dining living space with big windows was perfect. We enjoyed sitting out in the garden which was very well maintained. We had a visit from my niece and her partner, and enjoyed a family lunch at the large dining table. We visited the nearby pub and deli on several occasions. A great break!

We were 3 generations staying at Angela's home, and really enjoyed our week there. The house is very spacious and comfortable, very modern bathroom/shower rooms, with a large south facing garden. It is in a very quiet location and only takes a few minutes to reach Swanage. Lots of lovely walks, beaches, restaurants. We would recommend for a relaxing holiday.

Lots of space

Our party was two grandparents with two daughters and their husbands and two 4 year olds plus our small dog. The large bedrooms and very well equipped separate bathrooms allowed for some helpful family separation and the large open-plan living space and access to the garden worked well for all of us.

A very happy week in Dorset

A thoroughly enjoyable week in Angela's lovely house - comfortable, clean and welcoming. The house is very well appointed with spotless bedding and state of the art bathrooms. Quiet and relaxing location with a beautiful garden and enough seats for everyone! Easy access to Swanage with fabulous facilities for children and marvellous sunbeds on the beach. Bournemouth is worth a day out for the Oceanarium and big wheel. The village shop and deli are great but there isn't a supermarket close to the village. We ate well at the pub in the village too. Highly recommended.

Fabulous stay

We stayed here in early Sept with husband, two children (3.5 and 9 months) and my parents who had been shielding since early March thanks to COVID. The house is ideally located for this group, brilliantly laid out and very comfortable. Huge garden for everyone to enjoy, Putlake’s farm within walking distance kept us occupied for 2 days and easy access to Swanage for the perfect beach for this age group. Angela was a wonderful host, thoughtful and responds very quickly to queries. We will definitely return in the future.

We've had a fab week at Langton Matravers. The house worked perfectly for us as a family. Big bedrooms and lovely bathrooms, plus a fantastic garden to enjoy the weather in. Could have just done with a little bit more garden furniture, slightly comfier seating and maybe some sun loungers. Other than that is was perfect 👌

About the host

Hosted by Angela Bell

Host profile image
I am a retired University lecturer who like Folk music, Badminton and walking

Why they chose this property

This property was completely rebuilt in 2015 but has plenty of character combined with a fully-equipped modern kitchen and huge bedrooms and bathrooms.
I moved to Purbeck 20 years ago because I have a particular interest in Thomas Hardy, the novelist and poet, and this is 'Hardy Country'. For many years, I was on the Thomas Hardy Society Management Committee and gave lecture tours of Thomas Hardy locations in Dorset.

What makes this property unique

There is a lovely view from the rear of the property onto the hills beyond. The private cul-de-sac is mainly traffic free, running parallel to the busier main street through the village centre and thus secluded and quiet. There are many walks from the front door to the hills or coast, plus local sandy beaches to enjoy.
