Mrs McKnight
This is such a unique house. It’s spacious, friendly feeling and the pull to just sit and gaze at the sea is almost overwhelming! We love it.

We absolutely love this house and are returning in September. It’s not all shiny and new(thank goodness!) but is clean and big and has everything you need for a relaxed family holiday.

Great location. Dated property in need of restoration ( but not viable ) Full of character and charm. Have visited for many years with hopefully many more to come. Always a pleasure to be there to relex and enjoy the Purbeck area. Always good suport from Original Cottages.
