“Excellent location and had everything we needed for a peaceful and restful stay.”

It's a shame that Dorset District Council doesn't enable such properties to participate in recycling just as the locals do. It's the same type of waste that is produced.

“Ideal accommodation to explore this lovely part of the country, although it would benefit from a little bit of tlc.”

Loading/unloading luggage was a challenge, and the narrow, uneven staircase might be a bit difficult for less mobile people.

- Mr Tedore, May 2019
“A fantastic family holiday.”

Very convenient location for all facilities in the village and surrounding area. The cottage is beautiful and the garden in the sunshine very welcome.

- Ms Taylor, April 2019
“Farriers Lodge is a spacious, warm, comfortable cottage.”

It is well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The garden is an added bonus for soaking up the afternoon sun. In spite of being on the main road the cottage is peaceful and we were not disturbed by traffic during the night. The location is perfect with Corfe Castle and the steam railway on the doorstep. Within a short drive are lovely beaches, beautiful walks and pretty villages where you can enjoy a delicious Dorset cream tea! The only downside is the lack of parking outside the cottage. There is dedicated reserved parking on the village car park which would only be an issue if the weather was very wet, if walking was a problem or if you had very small children. We had a wonderful week and would highly recommend a stay here. Enjoy!

“Lovely setting and very relaxing, clean and a very spacious cottage.”

will look to go back in the future. Stayed June 2017

- Mr Neil Grierson,
“A lovely cottage and a very beautiful village to be based in - perfect for exploring the lovely Isle of Purbeck and the Dorset Jurassic Coast.”

A very comfortable cottage - excellent bedrooms and very comfortable beds and a very good sitting room and well-equipped kitchen. Despite the busy road outside, the cottage is very quiet - excellent triple glazing and as our bedroom was at the back of the house by the garden, we didn't hear a sound. Our daughter on the first floor bedroom also slept really well and was not disturbed by traffic - stayed October 2016

The property

Farrier's Lodge, previously the village blacksmith's cottage with the workshop next door, situated in the heart of Corfe Castle, a charming traditional Dorset village. It is a lovely, thatched, cosy retreat sleeping up to four people, located just a stone's throw from the village square. This stylish cottage is decorated and furnished with a contemporary palette of calming grey and navy.

A very comfortable cottage - excellent bedrooms and cosy beds.

Relax in the sitting room on the sofas – watch TV or read a book.

Well-equipped kitchen with quality appliances to prepare meals. Step outside to the garden straight through the twin bedroom and enjoy an afternoon playing games or just have a picnic.

The garden is beautiful and well kept, gardeners attending the property intermittently throughout the year for essential garden maintenance. Farrier's Lodge is the ideal base to explore the Purbecks.

A walker's delight with an abundance of walks right on its doorstep. The iconic medieval Corfe Castle ruins and the steam railway are just a short walk away.

There are medieval activities made for children to enjoy a good time whilst exploring the castle, and a tea shop nearby for refreshments.

A short drive away from the village is Studland Bay, a glorious slice of the Purbeck coastline with a 3 mile stretch of golden sandy beach, a reserve for sea horses and other rare marine species. Just a few miles away is the popular resort of Swanage with its array of shops and award winning golden sanded beach.

Swanage boasts a variety of cuisines but do try a Dorset cream tea and other local produce, especially freshly caught fish. This cosy and beautiful cottage in Corfe Castle is a wonderful base to explore Purbecks and further.

About the location

Corfe Castle

Cove Castle is a firm favourite with locals, sitting along side the Rodwell trail area, Cove Castle Beach is usually uncrowded, and offers safe bathing from it’s gently sloping shoreline. There are two main beach areas, Cove Castle, awaiting new steps to the beach in early 2019, and Sandsfoot beach, both with soft golden sand and the vibe of the best kept secret. Sandsfoot castle is just two minutes’ walk from the beach where you will find castle ruins, pretty award-winning gardens and a small café, offering snacks, drinks and ice-creams. Accessed off Old Castle Road in Weymouth, this area is a real treat for those who want to be away from the buzz and bright lights of the traditional Weymouth Seafront, and yet close enough to venture there when they choose. When you are on the beach you could be forgiven for thinking you are miles from town, and yet you are only a 15-20 minute walk from the old Harbour and access to Weymouth town centre. If you want to know where the locals would recommend you spend your beach days, then Cove Castle and Sandsfoot beaches are it.

Note: max 4 people. Note: guests need to provide their own cot linen. Note: please be aware that gardeners will be attending the property intermittently throughout the year for essential garden maintenance. They will require access through the property during this time. Note: as the property fronts the main Wareham to Swanage road, secondary double glazing has been installed to minimise any road noise.
