About this property

Cosy, three-bed short walk from Studland's beaches

This property provides a perfect holiday location for young families, keen walkers, and water-sport enthusiasts. Ideally located with only a short walk to Studland's beautiful beaches, heathlands and the lovely Pig-on-the-Beach restaurant. The cottage sleeps 5 adults, or 6 if travelling with children.

Studland's gorgeous sandy beaches offer calm seas, water sports and the hiring of equipment, with dreamy views that stretch from Old Harry Rocks to the Isle of Wight. The property is surrounded by National Trust land offering walks to Godlingston Heath's Agglestone Rock, Old Harry Rocks, and the Studland Nature Reserve. The Pig-on-the-Beach and The Bankes Arms pub are a short stroll away, and there is a small playground across the road for little ones. The local village shop is 200m away with fresh local produce, great wine/beer selection and a post office.

There is a charming wood stove for those colder evenings and a wonderful garden to the front and back of the property offering further family enjoyment. There is a shed for locking up bikes/water sport equipment.

Perfect Stay

The property is in an excellent location close to the beaches, the village shop and in a very quiet road. There is a walk for the dog across the road perfect for first thing in the morning and last thing at night.The house is well laid out, the beds comfortable and the shower room downstairs a bonus. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of room and all appliances needed.Outside is a comfortable sun trap patio.We would definitely recommend and would like to return.

Beautiful Studland

What a great place for visiting Studland and the Purbecks. Plenty of things to do, even when it rains. The house is perfect for a family and dogs. The children loved the bunk beds and the park over the road. The garden is pretty and secure for the dogs. There is an elegant patio area for outside dining.We love visiting here

Clean and spacious!!!

This property is just darling with plenty of space to accommodate three adults and two children!! The gardens were perfect for cocktails along with plenty of space for the children to get their wiggles out! We appreciated the walkability to restaurants, the beach, and a local market! Our host was readily accessible from the states and answered any questions I had in front of our stay ‼‼ My grandson gave the cozy cottage 10 thumbs up!! We look forward to returning to Dorset and the Jurassic Coast and would welcome the opportunity to visit this lovely accommodation again 🤩

Great for walkers

Well equipped, comfortable property, ideal for our group of 4 adults. Great location for visiting Swanage and the Studland peninsular. Difficult to control the temperature in the shower room and woodburner didn't draw well but otherwise an excellent property.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Davidson

Host profile image
My family and I have loved Studland from our first visit and have been every year since. We just love the coast line and gentle waters that allow for a relaxing time for all. My husband grew up on the east coast of South Africa and desperately wanted to find a place in the UK that offered the same. Studland does this with ease as it offers sandy beaches that allow for lovely long walks, safe swimming and rock pools for exploring. We are an outdoors family that enjoy getting out - whether that be on our bikes, a hike or simply enjoying a day on the beach. Convenience is a must for a family with young children and we certainly find Studland and Swanage offer the perfect mix. There are great pubs close to the house and a number of lovely restaurants in nearby Swanage.

Why they chose this property

Location is fantastic with the beach only a short stroll away. We also have the heath walk that literally starts across the road. It is very quiet and tranquil and offers a home from home. One of our favourite things is enjoying the log fire in the evenings. The property has the benefit of a secure rear garden and a lovely front garden. We feel like we are in a different world whenever we stay and just love being here.

What makes this property unique

Our children think that South Beach (a very short walk away - even with said children!) is the greatest ever with all the beach toys they keep for children there.

With the National Trust owning most of the land around Studland, walkers and nature lovers are spoilt with long, sandy beaches, a forest full of deer and the far-stretching views of the heath.
