Despite its small size, the village boasts a rich history and a range of attractions that are sure to delight visitors of all ages. The village has largely escaped development, but you will find some more modern, architecturally designed homes and cottages available to rent.

Situated about two miles west of Swanage town centre and five miles south-east of Corfe Castle, the village’s name stems from Lord Mautravers, who once resided there. While the village retains much of its traditional charm, modern comforts have been warmly welcomed in many of the quintessentially British cottages that line the streets. Our Langton Matravers holiday cottages are available all year round with a variety of facilities, and we are sure we have the perfect self-catering accommodation for you.
Langton Matravers offers a range of attractions to explore during your stay at one of our self-catering holiday cottages. Take a leisurely stroll to Putlake Adventure Farm, located within the village, where you can enjoy a day of family fun feeding lambs, watching milking demonstrations, and riding on a tractor.
We also recommend you don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Langton Matravers Museum, operated by the Langton Matravers Local History and Preservation Society. Housed in a former coach house behind the parish church of St. George, the museum provides a fascinating insight into the village’s quarrying industry, showcasing approximately 25,000 artefacts related to the historic use of Purbeck Marble and Purbeck Limestone.
