This four-bedroom holiday house in Worth Matravers sleeps 8 and has one of Purbeck's finest stretches of coast practically on its doorstep. The village's famous Square & Compass pub is half a mile along a country road, and the quiet lanes and footpaths make it easy to spend a few days outdoors without needing to plan a complicated itinerary. The house is comfortable and unfussy, with a sitting room where everyone can gather after a long walk and a separate dining area for meals together. The kitchen has a double oven, dishwasher and the equipment needed for family cooking, with French doors leading out to a raised terrace. Take breakfast into the garden, settle at the Purbeck stone table and enjoy the changing views across the surrounding farmland. Three bedrooms occupy the first floor: a king, a twin and a bunk room with 2ft 6in-wide beds that make it comfortable for children. The top floor is given over to a superking bedroom with its own shower room and glimpses of the sea. There's also a family bathroom upstairs and a useful shower room on the ground floor. The mature enclosed garden has lawn and seating, with countryside views and a glimpse towards the coast from the far end. Guests should be aware of the steps from the parking area and the stairs between bedroom floors. Worth Matravers is a delight to explore on foot. Follow the paths towards Chapman's Pool and the old quarry landscapes, stop for a pasty and cider at the Square & Compass, or drive to Swanage for its beach, shops and seafront. Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills offer more days out within a 30-minute drive. A few miles further afield, Monkey World, the Tank Museum, Purbeck Golf Course, and Dorset Adventure Park offer more fun. Coastguard Cottage is a welcoming place to return to when the walking boots come off and everyone is ready for a relaxed supper together. ## Facilities - **Dog Friendly:** No pets. - **Accessibility:** 14 steps lead from the parking area to the front door, and accommodation is over multiple levels. - **WiFi:** Yes. 37.50 download; 8.73 upload. - **Dining Room:** Separate dining room with a table seating 8 and French doors opening onto the terrace.
