'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.

    Excellent pre-arrival communications and welcome. Charming cottage, spotlessly clean, with a dog-friendly garden. Situated right next to a bridleway with great walks and views in both directions

    Excellent views of the sea and Corfe Castle. Upstairs a bit short of space, but plenty of hot water for baths.Couldn't get the hob to work. Otherwise very comfortable and lovely location.

    This is lovely, tastefully furnished and cosy accommodation. The hosts were very welcoming, the location is ideal for exploring Purbeck and country walks are accessible from the garden at The Lookout. Everything you need for a comfortable holiday is here and we're looking forward to another visit soon. Highly recommended.

    The Lookout makes a lovely base for a holiday in Purbeck. The fantastic views make up for the lack of space in the bedrooms and kitchen area. All we needed for a comfortable stay for two.

    The lookout was just delightful with absolutely everything you might need. So cute and comfy with a delightful garden and patio which is not given enough credit by the description. So much better than we were expecting. Will definitely return!

    We had a lovely weeks stay in The Lookout. The owners were friendly and helpful when we had queries. The cottage is small and cosy but perfect for 2-3 people. It is well-equipped and the owners have thought of almost everything you may need. Daughter loved playing with their dogs. We enjoyed the peaceful location and views to Corfe castle and beyond. Weather was mixed some rainy days but we visited Monkey world and Tank museum on those days. Highly recommended for a break in Dorset.

    Amazing location if you love walking and even if you aren’t a walker only a short drive to Swanage and stunning Studland. Very clean and everything you need with a beautiful patio and garden to use. Hope to return.

    The Lookout was a wonderful little gem perfectly placed for all the attractions around the area. The hosts were friendly and made sure we were welcome. The garden was great for my dog and very secure. Everywhere was clean and well prepared, the beds were very comfortable. The sofa got a little uncomfortable and I had to reposition cushions regularly. Lots of thought put in to equipment you may need, everything was there. I would have liked to vac up the dog crumbs from the rug but couldn’t find a vac. No complaints against the hosts, I just felt bad they were there. The bathroom with low ceilings did cause us a few problems, we kept bashing ourselves, but we are clumsy. If you’re a walking fan, this is perfect with the footpath being right next to the property. Parking was fine and right next to us. Thank you for having us. ???

    Small and quaint. Nice garden. The upstairs with the low ceilings is a problem. Also there being no shower to stand up in is difficult. The sofa could do with replacing as the springs have seen better days. It would be good if the television was larger. There isn’t any hanging space for your clothes. But saying all of that we had a very enjoyable stay here and would possibly book again

    We had a lovely stay at the Lookout. It's a clean, well laid out cottage. All that was needed for exploring the Jurassic coast and beyond. The garden was lovely and dog proof. Hosts provided local honey and marmalade which was a nice touch. I'd recommend it.

    Stayed for 5 nights and enjoyed it immensely! Lovely accommodation, perfect for the 2 of us and our dog. Clean and comfortable with all needs catered for. Our hosts (who live next door) were extremely welcoming and helpful. The Lookout has footpaths right alongside it (2 miles to Chapman’s Pool and to the Coastpath) and directly across the road (2 miles to Corfe Castle) and buses that stop outside the door (to Swanage / Corfe Castle). The perfect location to explore the Isle of Purbeck. I am sure we will return!
