About this cottage rental
Located in Corfe Castle, this lovely cottage for $94 per night is a great option for your next trip. 'The Lookout', as the name suggests, is a small, two bedroomed stone-built cottage commanding spectacular views in all directions. It is attached to the main house but has its own entrance and is totally private. Downstairs is a sitting-room with open-feature fireplace with a raised galley kitchen. Upstairs, it sleeps 2/3 with a shared bathroom. Outside is a secure, dog-friendly, enclosed walled garden with terrace. This property is not suitable for those with disability issues as there are steps down to reach the property and a couple of steps up to the galley kitchen. There is also a winding staircase up to the bedrooms with a single bannister on one side. It is vital to have a car as most key places to visit and shops require a car journey of some sort.

The lookout is a beautiful place to stay, it has everything you need for a relaxing break, the views are stunning and Michael & Sally are perfect hosts.

Third visit. Surroundings very rural. A major footpath (Purbeck Way) passes right by the house. Corfe Castle visible from the bedrooms. Small but comfortable property. Compact "galley" kitchen; only real problem here that there is not quite enough room for two of you to work side by side. Comfortable bedrooms and small but cosy bathroom. Shops a 10 minute drive into Swanage. Ideal if you wish to lounge or walk a network of paths of differing lengths.

The Lookout does exactly what it says on the tin!!
Perfect location, lovely cottage - the owners have thought of everything.
We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday - and even the weather played ball.

We always look for something quiet and different when we book a break. The Lookout did not disappoint.
We were made to feel welcome from the minute that we arrived. The welcome package was much appreciated as was the personal touch from Michael, our host. The cottage is well equipped having everything that we needed. Some lovely walks directly from the property which really nice. Overall we had a wonderful week in a beautiful location. Thank you to Michael and Sally, we had a great time.
5.0
The property was very clean and well equipped. The secure, secluded garden was perfect for my dog. It was in the countryside but fairly close to Swanage. Although on a busy B road, at night there was hardly any traffic and was quiet inside the property. On a bus route to Swanage and Poole. Good walks close by the property.

We spent the Easter weekend at ‘The Lookout’, and it was just perfect. We had everything we needed, including a cosy log fire and a pretty garden. It was spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds, well-equipped, and lots of useful local information. The hosts made us feel really welcome and were very helpful.

Well equipped. Great location. Wifi and heating work well. Bathroom very challenging for tall person.

The cottage is so full of character, with sloping ceilings and stunning views of corfe castle one side and the sea the other. Although small, it is very well equipped and the beds are comfortable. The enclosed garden made taking my dog very easy and there are many walks and beautiful beaches in the vicinity. All in all, a wonderful place to stay!
5.0
The Lookout was in the ideal location for exploring the East Dorset countryside, on the edge of the Purbeck Way and with stunning views of Corfe Castle in the distance from just outside the cottage. Beautifully clean and comfortable with very welcoming hosts, a log fire and a small, enclosed garden that was just perfect for our little dog.
Will very much recommend to friends and family and look forward to returning very soon.

An immaculate, compact, beautiful, property, set in the most stunning location with easy access to so many places. The owner was at hand if required and everything we needed was provided.
5.0
The Lookout was the ideal place for us: comfortable, well-equipped and brilliantly situated. Our hosts had obviously thought long and hard about what their guests might need. We really needed a break and this was the perfect place for it. Wonderful walking, some interesting places to visit and local shops all easy to find and access. The result? Happy dogs and happy people.

The lookout is in a grand spot just outside Kingston, Corfe Castle. The views are spectacular. The cottage is a delight – small but has absolutely everything you could need. We didn’t stray far outside the area, as for our five day stay there was so much to see and do. If you stay here, you must walk the bridal paths and look for birdlife and the hares.. Joy.
You are surrounded here by lovely pubs and restaurants so you can’t go wrong. We would love to come back.
Thank you to our hosts for a very pleasant stay.
5.0
We really loved the views - Corfe Castle and glimpses of Poole Harbour to the north, the Isle of Wight to the east and a glimpse of the Isle of Portland to the west, with rolling hills and ridges all around.
The annex is fresh and clean with all you need, not grey and corporate like so many cottages now. I'd wondered about the porthole windows, but there are properly-made covers for them so you don't get woken at dawn, and also large opening windows in both bedrooms. We appreciated the personal note, little jug of garden flowers and treats, and when we met Michael he had good up-to-date ideas for walks.
However we didn't get used to the restricted ceiling height upstairs, and were both still knocking our heads at the end of the week. (We're 5'6" and 6'.) But we were there for the walks, and found the Purbeck Ridge opposite the house really thrilling, and the walk to Swyre Head exceptionally beautiful. We had a great meal with a castle view at the Greyhound in Corfe, lovely service at the Black Swan in Swanage, and also really liked Down The Beach for a last breakfast at the far end of Swanage beach to set us up for the journey home.

Excellent relaxed break
The cottage was perfect for our first holiday with our 1 year old excitable puppy. As the description was accurate there where no nasty surprises and throughly enjoyed our stay at this slightly quirky cottage. If you are looking for corporate style perfection then not for you but if you want a place with character then this could be the one. Michael and Sally are excellent hosts and the biscuits and honey well received, in fact enjoyed the honey so much we bought a jar to bring home.

Peaceful break
The cottage was perfect for us and our two small dogs, providing everything we needed.
Access straight from the driveway for local walks and a short drive to country parks and beaches all contributed to a lovely ‘away from it all’ week.

Beautiful countryside location equidistant between Corfe Castle and Swanage. The Cottage had been tastefully modernised, being really comfy and lacked nothing. The Proprietors had paid great attention to detail with quality furnishings and accessories. A very enjoyable week! Highly recommended.

Really nice cosy little cottage, very comfortable and convenient for accommodating a small family with a dog. Our teenager loved her bedroom with round windows and a view of the Corfe Castle. The walking path running beside the property is easy to go for a walk to the seaside or to a good pub (best real ale in Dorset) in a nearby village. Hosts are very friendly and provided everything very nicely, including tasty biscuits and milk. There is a real fireplace in the cottage, however the central heating kept us very warm, so there was no need to venture into lighting a fire. Thoughtfully provided dog blankets were very useful as well. Perfect location for exploring Purbeck, and we visited quite a few places during our stay. Our dog liked playing in the garden and patrolling it in the evening.

Even better than expected!
Absolutely beautiful property, a real homely feel with welcoming hosts who covered every small detail imaginable. Location is fab, a short drive from various villages/ towns and fantastic views with footpaths directly from the property- we were sad to leave and can't wait to return! Thanks for a brilliant mini-break :)

The Lookout of Purbeck
A beautiful little hidden gem. You can walk to the beach, Swanage or Corfe from the door. The roaring fires make coming home excellent and everything is there that you need. As long as you are ok with the main bedroom being past the bathroom (so I would only recommend for families) the lookout is perfect. And I really recommend the new Waffle bar in Swanage tor dessert!

A perfect bolt hole
Fantastic communication from the hosts, beautiful property with lots of lovely quirks! Delivered on the open fire, our reason for booking! Location superb, just a brilliant bolt hole for a short break
