About this apartment rental
The picturesque village of Langton Matravers is located approximately 3 miles from historic Corfe Castle and 1.5 miles from the seaside town and beaches of Swanage. This is known as the gateway to the Jurassic coast - popular not only for fossil hunting, but also for coastal and cliff top walks with stunning scenery and views you'll remember for a lifetime.
The vast, sandy beaches and dunes of Studland Bay are about 5 miles away, and food lovers can sample fine dining at the well-known 'Pig On The Beach'. Excellent seafood is on offer at 'Shell Bay' restaurant, whilst a short ferry ride away lies the world renowned Sandbanks, home of the rich and famous. There, you can sample delights such as Rick Steins Sandbanks restaurant, activities like windsurfing and paddle boarding sessions, and of course, legendary Dorset hospitality! From Sandbanks, it's possible to get a boat ride over to Brownsea Island, the National Trusts' gem within Poole Harbour, the second largest natural harbour in the world (Sydney being the largest). On the island, you'll feel like you've escaped from the rat race, as you discover a wealth of unspoilt nature, including red squirrels and deer, woodlands, stunning harbour vistas and all the history that goes alongside this wonderful oasis of tranquility.
Langton Matravers has easy access to country and clifftop walks - taking you to destinations including: Durlston Country Park, Dancing Ledge, Seacombe, Winspit, with its famous caves.
Also nearby, is Worth Matravers, where you'll find an 18th century pub, The Square and Compass - built in 1776, it's complete with its own fossil museum and yearly pumpkin festival, as well as serving traditional real, English ales, straight from the barrel. The pub, with its incredibly far-reaching, panoramic sea views has been voted one of the best 5 pubs in Britain! A family friendly spot that's well worth a visit.
Langton Matravers offers a local shop/ deli/ bakery within the Kings Arms pub, the pub is also great for food with a lovely garden. The church and Putlake Adventure Farm is just a few minutes which younger visitors are sure to enjoy.
All are within easy walking distance from the cottage.
If you love beaches, then Swanage has a lot to offer in this department with its 'Blue Flag' rating, along with a characterful, friendly, town centre. The beach is life-guarded during seasonally busy periods, and has traditional entertainment such as Punch and Judy shows on the beach, fishing and boat trips as well as fish and chips aplenty!
In addition to its fabulous beaches and seaside atmosphere, at the end of July and into the beginning of August, Swanage also boasts its major annual carnival; the largest in the South. Access to the town is easy by car, bus, or even by foot, being only about 2 miles away.
All in all, the immediate area has lots to offer - and further afield, the likes of The Tank Museum and Monkey World are within about 30 minutes drive, near Wool.
We hope you enjoy your stay with us here - we appreciate there's lots to cram in to your break, so we look forward to seeing you return time and again!

What a delightful stay at the property. It was just enough for my close family and I to enjoy a break away in the beautiful village near Swanage. We took a lovely walk along the Spyway literally opposite the property to the Dancing Ledge and spent many a night at the local play park up the road to burn off some of the children's energy. The property was well equipped and had everything we needed. The host was responsive and really helpful throughout the process of booking and staying. Lovely experience, thank you. X

Very spacious and quiet apartment. The washing machine was much appreciated! And the host left a welcoming bottle of wine.

Overall it’s a great flat, in a location surrounded by plenty of walks eg dancing ledge and more on the south west coast path. We communicated with the owner as there was slight confusion over amenities and we also had to let them know the cafitere exploded too. On the amenities list it had hot tub when on arrival there was no hot tub, although on investigation this seemed to be a glitch/problem with Vrbo, rather than the host to be fair to them. The listing has since been updated.

This was a lovely comfortable flat with a comfy bed and all good facilities. It was nice to be in a village and close to walks to the coast and a short distance to Swanage.
The area is tasteful, natural and not spoiled by poor development.

Easy to find but first surprise was a reminder on our 'welcome' email that bath towels were NOT included. No WiFi, no means of safely opening kitchen skylight and poor TV reception (occasional picture break-up). The accommodation is all upstairs with only the one entrance/exit - could be tricky to exit safely in event of fire. There was a nasty drain smell in the bathroom/washing machine area.

Great Location
An adequately equipped property in an ideal location with direct access to coastal paths. Having a dedicated parking slot was a definite plus. Good pub within 5min walk and good range of amenities within a short drive.

Fabulous Cottage/Flat in Langton Matravers
We had a brilliant stay in the cottage, (first floor flat) in August. The cottage was clean, tidy and welcoming. A dishwasher was a bonus! Crockery all matched with nice cutlery. Good sofas and enough space to move around. Lovely shower. Would stay again. 😁�

Nice little cottage
We had a lovely stay here. Clean, well equipped and good communication with owner. If you have teenagers, remember there is no WiFi available. I didn't find any takeaways that would deliver but the food at the Red Lion pub was lovely. Would have liked a little more space in the kitchen as we self cater a lot but the inclusion of a dishwasher was handy and very well stocked with cooking equipment. Loads of amazing walks, Corfe is stunning and the City Cruise boat trip to Poole Harbour was fab.

Stress free stay
This holiday flat had almost everything you could want, excellent location with the bus stop to Swanage and Poole right outside your door, if like me you want a break from driving. Footpaths all around, with one to Dancing Ledge right opposite the cottage. The flat was very well equipped and very clean and tidy with lots of thought gone into making your stay as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. For visitors with children there was a plethora of toys, games and videos to keep them occupied. We found washing up liquid, tinfoil, bin bags and cleaning materials provided (just the kind of things you forget when self catering), and some eggs, milk and breakfast cerial to get us started. Unfortunately, the flat doesn't have WiFi although the pub accross the road does and I can understand some may take advantage if WiFi was on tap at the flat.
All in all a very enjoyable break in Langton and I would stay in this holiday flat again and reccomend it without hesitation.
Thank you Nicky.

Very Well Equipped Cottage
My family had a really lovely holiday. Everything we needed was provided. With the hot weather the two fans provided were life savers. The children had plenty of play toys and board games. The beds were very comfortable. The neighbours were very friendly. Car parking space provided. The welcome gift of a box of tea bags and breakfast items was very thoughtful as was the washing machine and dishwasher tablets.

Perfect roomy and well equipped cottage
The cottage was so well equipped and comfortable for our family of four. It was a fantastic base for exploring Purbeck and Studland. The village has a good post office shop a pub and Putlake farm. A short walk (approx 1 mile) from the coastal path at Dancing Ledge.

Perfect holiday flat
Great little flat, although plenty of room for family with 3 teenagers. Very well furnished and equipped. Just over the road from the path up to the coastal path. Great for walks. Nice village, not too busy, good shop and 2-3 nice pubs with great food. Easy access to Swanage and surrounding area. We would definitely use again.

HAPPY HOLS
We were really surprised how big this apartment was, our daughter and son had their own rooms and the main bedroom was really spacious even with a cot. The owners have really thought about everything and its so well equipped with whatever you need. We stayed for two weeks and if you have children this is perfect. Its clean and tidy and the bathroom is a nice size, we didnt feel like we were on top of each other and although the kitchen is small it was perfect for hubby to do the holiday cooking (bliss). The location is perfect, Swanage is lovely only five mins away and Studlands has an amazing beach, there is so much to do and see. Corfe Castle, The Blue Pool, Lulworth Cove and lots more. We didnt have great weather but we had a lovely time, thankyou. We didnt want to go home and would definately recommend this property.

Great location for Purbeck
We had a great break over Easter in the appartment, which was very clean and comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is cosy, but we managed and its a great place to be based for all of the Isle of Purbeck. Would happliy return.
