A visitor recently recorded – “What an absolute gem of a cottage. From the moment I walked in it felt warm, cosy, and inviting a real home away from home. I loved my stay and would happily return in a heartbeat.” and another recorded “An absolutely beautiful place to stay. The photos don't do it justice. Me and my family had a great week. Easy to wander across the fields to the village or a quick drive to so many brilliant places to visit. and Look forward to staying again.

About the host
Hosted by John Kinder
We bought this property in 1996 as a holiday home for the family. We have let it to friends, and others ever since. In 1991 we moved from West London to live in Langton Matravers - 5 minutes from the cottage.
Why they chose this property
One of our sons lived and worked in Bournemouth and introduced us to the area. There are some wonderful places to visit throughout the Isle of Purbeck - which are often overlooked by holiday makers bound for Devon and Cornwall
What makes this property unique
It is an old cottage built in the 1870's with wonderful views and located in a small settlement of 8 houses. We have modernised it over the years and we lived in it for some time during covid.
