Private gated parking ensures easy access, though you may find yourself leaving the car behind as you explore on foot. Blending relaxed comfort with a truly enviable location, Coxswain’s Cabin offers an ideal haven for guests who love the sea, the gentle pace of harbour life, and the simple pleasures of Dorset’s coast.
