Perfect village location
The house was very clean and tidy and felt homely and cosy. The village is beautiful and peaceful, just right if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing time. With a big kitchen and two bathrooms, this is a perfect space for a family to stay. Gilly is a very friendly and helpful host. We would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable, luxury shepherds hut with hot tub
We had the most wonderful couple of days staying at Honey Bee relaxing in the peace and quiet. The views are outstanding, the Shepherds hut is beautifully made, with gorgeous interior and very well equipped. It is an ideal location with great local pubs in the surrounding villages also Bridport and West bay only 10 minutes down the road. We really wished we could have stayed longer, we can’t wait to return as soon as time allows!

Sea Drift - a beautiful Fisherman’s Cottage
This a real gem, perfect for exploring the Isle of Wight. The property is tucked away in a quiet mews only 2 minutes from the town centre. The house was immaculate upon arrival and Susan the host had left some nice touches like the bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, as well as other treats. Very comfortable beds and a decent shower which was nice. Lovely spacious downstairs accommodation and nice comfy sofas in the lounge. Outside is a real sun trap ideal for eating al fresco or just sunbathing. The host Susan was very helpful and always responded quickly. A great find, and highly recommended!

Ganders Cottage at Highway Farm, Bridport
We had a lovely stay in Ganders Cottage, with two young children. The cottage was spotlessly clean, pleasant to stay in and we put the patio to good use by having breakfast there every day. We even spotted a pheasant from the garden. The kids enjoyed the cottage and it was very family friendly. We only regret not taking the time to explore the farm and walk the area. The cottage was ideally situated to explore the Jurassic Coast, and we had many lovely outings to the nearby beaches. Charlotte and Robin were great hosts, attentive yet unintrusive, kind and thoughtful. They gave us good tips before and during the stay.

Great Coombe - panoramic views & lake
We stayed as a family group of 6 adults and 3 kids over Easter. The location and view were beautiful as was the local area. We saw a woodpecker visiting the bird feeder several times which was a nice treat! Our trip was geared towards children’s activities and we had lots of choice of things to do in the local area within a 30-45 minute drive. The games room was a great bonus and provided hours of enjoyment for kids and adults alike. The house was very clean, tastefully decorated and well presented with a very well equipped kitchen. The downstairs living area was spacious and had ample seating so there was always somewhere to flop at the end of the day. Nicola was pro active and helpful and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Overall we had a lovely time at Great Coombe :-)
Charming Brick Cottage with a Patio and Hot Tub
A lovely property close enough to get to places within half an hour but out the way enough to be quiet and peaceful. Beautiful surrounding and beautifully kept property as described and spotless. Jane was lovely and close if we needed any help and always friendly and helpful. Just lovely place would 100% recommend and stay again if ever in the area again.

The Byre lovely traditional stone barn
A very well appointed and comfortable property with pretty much everything you would need. Excellent kitchen, bathroom, laundry facilities, sitting / dining and very spacious bedroom. We would gladly stay again and would not hesitate to recommend it to any couple, or a couple with a child.

Glebe House, a beautiful country home
A beautiful house set in a picturesque village and close to Salisbury and Stonehenge. Perfect for a family weekend. Everything you could need. Clean and extremely comfortable. Very good communication with the owner. Would definitely recommend.

Your guide to Corfe Castle
All About Corfe Castle
Corfe Castle sits on the scenic Isle of Purbeck peninsula, which juts out from the rolling Dorset coastline into the English Channel. The village is dominated by the ruins of a thousand-year-old castle, which stands high on a hill. Today a tour of the restored ruins is rewarded with spectacular panoramic views of the Isle of Purbeck and beyond.
The village itself is almost completely constructed from grey Purbeck limestone. In the town square, you’ll find traditional pubs serving Sunday roasts, a bakery offering delicate pastries, and pretty tearooms where you can tuck into scones with lashings of jam. Several walks lead you around the village and through the countryside, home to fragrant wild chamomile and the electric-blue southern damselfly. The Corfe Common history walk is a moderate route past several sites of archaeological significance and offers memorable views of the castle.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Corfe Castle
Summer is a popular time to book Corfe Castle cottages; you can expect mostly warm sunny days with the odd chance of rain, so pack a jacket along with the sunscreen. In August, the popular Purbeck Valley Folk Festival takes place near Corfe Castle, when local and national artists come to perform in a relaxed family environment. In spring, you can expect mostly mild temperatures for walks around the village; in autumn, the castle’s rolling hills are covered in hues of gold, creating a truly spectacular sight. The weather can be changeable at this time, so make sure to pack a jacket. A winter visit will be greeted with chilly weather and the risk of rain, but you will be rewarded with dramatic views of the castle from miles around. Early mornings in winter can be particularly special when mist surrounds the castle ruins. Just be sure to pack warm layers and waterproof boots.
Top things to do in Corfe Castle
Corfe Castle
Overlooking the village are the remains of one of England’s most important fortresses, built in the 11th century and destroyed during the English Civil War. The castle is home to nesting ravens, and legend says it will crumble if the birds leave. Wander through the fallen walls and discover arrow slits and murder holes — used to pour boiling water or oil on castle invaders — while admiring sweeping views across the Purbeck countryside. There’s a souvenir shop, a traditional tearoom, and a visitor centre where you can learn more about the castle’s history.
Corfe Castle Model Village and Gardens
At one-twentieth the size of the actual castle, this model version, set amid beautifully landscaped gardens and streets of tiny cottages, is an exact replica of the castle in 1646, just before its destruction. Play a game of giant draughts or croquet on the lawn, and when you’ve finished exploring the model village, you can stop off for lunch in the 17th-century courtyard cafe.
Swanage Railway
Head to Corfe Castle Station and board the rebuilt Swanage Railway for a scenic trip through the Dorset countryside. Heritage steam and diesel trains chug and puff along the 5.5-mile journey to the seaside town of Swanage, which boasts spectacular views of the Isle of Purbeck countryside. You can stop along the way at Harman’s Cross or Herston, and, at Swanage, you’ll find a shop for refreshments and souvenirs. You can even enjoy a meal with a view on one of the dining trains.
