About this house rental

If you are looking for a place to unwind this cottage has the perfect answer! This beautifully furnished three-bedroom bungalow is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in its own grounds in Church Knowle and with all modern facilities. Church Knowle nestles at the foot of Knowle Hill and is a delightful small 13c village built in Purbeck stone with thatched cottages and lying within a conservation area surrounded by beautiful countryside, on the Isle of Purbeck just a mile from historic Corfe Castle and 2.5 miles from the coast. The village has a wonderful pub, which serves excellent food, an historic 13c church and a newly equipped children’s play park.
It is well situated for numerous walks in the Purbeck Hills and lots of interesting places to visit including, Durlston Country Park, Blue Pool, Fossil Museum, The Tank Museum, the ancient Saxon walled city of Wareham and the steam train to Swanage - to name but a few.

Entrance to the bungalow is through the south-facing conservatory with relaxing chairs and on into a sitting area with a sofa, comfortable chairs and wood burning stove, which leads into a dining area with table and chairs. The kitchen is extremely well equipped with fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine, oven, gas hob and dishwasher. When standing at the sink you will enjoy a most beautiful view looking towards the Purbeck Hills with Kingston Church and Swyre Head in the distance. There is an inner hall with a place to hang coats and a door to the garden with the three bedrooms leading off this hall. One bedroom has twin (3') beds and views to the garden; the second has a king size (5.6) bed and an en-suite shower room; the third bedroom has king size (5.6) beds and French windows looking south, with a view over the hills and with steps leading down to its own patio area. The bathroom has a bath, separate shower, loo and basin. Apart from the kitchen and bathrooms there are fitted carpets throughout.
As you approach the property a pair of double gates open onto a gravel drive which widens to form a turning area and parking for several cars and a boat for those who like sailing. The rear garden is completely private surrounded by trees and a beech hedge with a good size patio for table and chairs.

Nostalgic trip to Dorset to relive childhood holidays with our parents. Great location of the cottage to Corfe Castle and all the local must see places to visit. The cottage was as described and suited all our needs and perfect for our elderly parents, the biscuits and homemade marmalade was also a lovely touch. The pub next door (The new Inn) served a good Sunday Roast and worth a visit. Lovely holiday and hopefully we will return soon.

2 grandparents, 2 parents and 9 year old child. The property was ideal. Beautiful location, excellent pub literally round the corner and close to Corfe Castle, Kimmeridge beach, Monkey World and Swanage. Still much more to visit next time! Wood burner with wood supplied added to the enjoyment and a lovely basket of goodies to welcome us with.

Really enjoyed our stay in Church Knowle, cottage is spacious, comfortable and has everything needed. Having two bathrooms is great. Location is good too, we walked to Corfe, easy drive to Wareham, Swanage, Studland and surrounding areas. Local pub serves good food. Only drawback was the cleaners didn't do a great job, which was a little disappointing that it hadn't been cleaned just before arrival, or even the day before. It smelt musty on entry, (which soon dissipated on opening windows though), there were noticeable cobwebs in the bedrooms, and the main bathroom was dusty, but otherwise fine.

We had a good week staying at Stansfield in the lovely Purbeck countryside. It felt great to arrive late Friday afternoon at a spacious and tidy bungalow with a perfect view across the valley towards Kingston Matravers. Not overlooked and not isolated. Our party of six, grandparents, parents and two young children were very comfortable even when it rained two out of the six days. Plenty to do in the area. Kids loved Swanage, and Corfe Castle a big hit, both the castle and village. Wareham carnival was good fun and it remained dry. Lots of outdoor space front and back, for playing and eating out on the big patio that gets late afternoon sun. Large parking area. The tiled conservatory very useful for beach gear, shoes and wellies. Thank you Helen for the delicious homemade and shop goodies.

Well equipped house in a fantastic peaceful and private location. The house had everything we needed, and Helen was very helpful. We particularly liked the conservation for reading crafting and painting. It was also a good base for exploring the Isle of Purbeck.
