Beautiful English cottage in a picturesque setting

Stansfield is a lovely house in the pleasent and peaceful village of Church Knowle. The house is well equipped, better than most properties. You wake up to beautiful views of rolling hills, which also make for excellent walks from the doorstep. You are very close to Corfe Castle as well as Swanage, Lulworth, Studland, Poole and many other places.You can easily spend a week here and have enough places left to visit to come back for another week. The house itself has three good sized bedrooms equipped with comfortable beds. The lounge is also comfortable and the adjoining conservatory is lovely to sit in and enjoy the views. The garden is spacious and would give kids plenty of space to run around. Helen is a lovely host with excellent communication. She is always friendly and helpful. The only question that remains is when to book the next week? We will be back.

We had a lovely stay. The cottage is perfect for a getaway. Comfortable beds and a sunny conservatory with gorgeous views. Everything you need for a stay and some treats from the owner. A great base to see Corfe Castle, Swanage, Knoll beach and Durdle Door. We enjoyed meals at the village pub and the bakery in Corfe Castle.

The house was lovely - clean, airy, light, and equipped with everything we needed. Great location, close to sites in the area, and the local pub (New Inn) is excellent for both drinks and food. Communications with Helen were easy and friendly. Overall, a great stay.

Situated in a quiet location in beautiful countryside, the property had been accurately described and had everything we could wish for. It was clean and tidy and the beds were comfy. Communication with the owner was easy, and the basket of local goodies made us feel welcome.

We were very pleased with the property. It is well located in Dorset near great beaches, Corfe Castle and places to visit for children. The views across the Corfe Valley were great. It was comfortable, cosy and very quiet. The cottage was well equipped kitchen wise and had a nice garden with patio and table for eating outside. The owner provided a nice welcome hamper. The downsides 1) the TV was not great, pretty small and unreliable and not a smart telly. Not majorily important but limited the evening entertainment when we were at home 2) the decor needed a refresh in places. The carpet was damaged in a few areas and there were some parts that needed painting. But overall it met our expectations and served us well. We would recommend to others.

Great for beach, RSPB Arne and steam train.

Really lovely bungalow. Very comfortable and well equipped. Couldn’t want for anything more from a holiday rental. Highly recommend

We had a great stay in this lovely house. It is situated in a beautiful position not too far from Corfe Castle. It's much more spacious than the photos suggest and the perfect layout for our family. It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. And the welcome basket of treats was much appreciated too!

We had a delightful few days stay in this well equipped, comfortable, warm and welcoming bungalow. The small conservatory was lovely to sit in and relax and would be whatever the weather. The large garden was full of daffodils. Church Knowle is strategically placed for many walks and only a short drive to Corfe Castle, Swanage and Studland and the Arne. Communication with Helen the owner was excellent and we enjoyed the treats in the welcome basket. Hoping to return sometime.

A spacious and very comfortable house in a peaceful countryside location and equipped with everything you could possibly need.

The cottage is in a lovely village with a pub close by. The log burner in the lounge was especially nice in December. A great place to stay and explore this part of Dorset.

This was a beautiful house very private lots of spacewith all amenities you require with a lovely touch of a welcome basket when you arrived

We were so pleased on arrival at to see that we'd made a good choice of property in a quiet rural location. Beautifully presented, spacious, well equipped bungalow cottage with a lovely view and gardens.

We had a lovely stay, the house & gardens are perfect, the facilities are good and the location is great. Thank you Helen for a lovely stay... we will return!

This beautiful bungalow is definitely one of the best self catering property we have ever stayed in. It is exceptionally clean, very well presented, nearly all of the furniture seems to be new, the beds were very comfortable with good quality linens and overall it made our mini break very enjoyable. We really cannot fault this lovely place, and would happily consider staying again.

This was a delightful place to stay. Very comfortable. Even better than the photos. A lovely conservatory with good views. The main bedroom, with the double bed and French windows, shared this view. The ensuite shower room to the room with the king-sized bed was ideal for my disabled adult daughter. The bungalow cottage is well equipped and stands in its own grounds for privacy. The back garden lovely to sit out in when sunny. Helen a very helpful and efficient host. The area so beautiful and interesting to explore. We really enjoyed our stay.

The house was cleaned to a very high standard and very well equipped. The location was great with lots to explore nearby. Communication with the owner was great. We would definitely like to return.

We loved every second we spent here. A beautiful, quiet and clean place to spend some time away form the city. Perfect instructions to find the place. We hope to be able to come back soon. Thanks Helen!

From start to finish, this was a hugely successful stay, the property exceeded our expectations and really was a home from home....but with better views! Every detail had been thought of, it was spacious, nicely decorated and cosy. In fact, we can't think of a single thing that would improve it, we can't wait to book our next stay!

House was homely and welcoming. Good size rooms, lovely outside space and views had a lovely few days here exploring the surrounding area and enjoying the evenings in a comfortable home.

This cottage provided the perfect place for a wonderful stay in Dorset. Situated in a peaceful village, this lovely cottage is very comfortable and well equipped. The conservatory is perfect for relaxing with a coffee or unwinding after a day out. The cottage is ideally located for a range of walks and local attractions such as Corfe Castle, Swanage Railway and Arne Nature Reserve. Many thanks to Helen for great communication and helping making the most of our stay before we arrived. The welcome pack was a nice surprise. We highly recommend this cottage and hope to return next year.

We had a wonderful stay at the property. The rooms were great sizes, kitchen was well equipped, comfortable beds and both showers were very good. Nice private garden with plenty of parking space and turning space for several cars. The gates can be closed to keep children safe. Good wi-fi connection and a superb location. We travelled on the Swanage Railway (our children loved it). We visited the Blue Pool, Knowle Bay beach (near Studland), Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove. Overall a wonderful stay! Thank you Helen

Great location. Plenty of interesting places to visit. We were a bit unfortunate with the weather, rather wet

Very comfortable, spacious but cosy. Garden enclosed so the children could play safety. Not forgetting the conservatory perfect for the quiet coffee moment. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property.

Very much enjoyed the quiet location, despite being next to the New Inn A lovely, well equipped cottage for exploring Purbeck with the family

Clean spacious bungalow with lovely views over the countryside from the front of the house. Kitchen very well equipped. Lots of information about the surrounding area including walk books and local history. Convenient location for walking and visiting coast.

We had a lovely stay in this gorgeous cottage with our young family. The girls enjoyed running in the enclosed garden and visiting the local animal centre. Plenty to do all within easy reach and beautiful views from the cottage and in local walks.

Very comfy. Everything you need for a fantastic holiday. The cottage is tucked away from the road so it's very quiet and peaceful. Great bed with quality bedding and tasteful decor. The thoughtful gift of provisions is very welcome when you arrive at the cottage. A great base for exploring the history of the area and walking in the hills or on the nearby beach. Added bonus of a great pub next door and several others within a short drive.
