Tucked away in the village of Harmans Cross, this bungalow is perfectly positioned for a mix of both a seaside and countryside escape. The rural views from your garden are a lovely welcome for when you arrive, with the built-in home bar being a close second. The steps down to the bar might be tricky for some guests, but there’s plenty of garden seating at ground level. Families and groups of friends will love all the sociable spaces here, but you can take some time alone in the snug too. When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find Durdle’s Door, Corfe Castle, and the seaside town of Swanage to be a short drive away.

About The Isle of Purbeck

Rather confusingly, the Isle of Purbeck isn’t an island. Instead, it’s a peninsula of around sixty square miles that points out of Dorset into the English Channel and surrounded by water on three sides.
