Purbeck Cottages are uniquely identified as they are built of the locally quarroed Purbeck stone.  We invite you to explore our selection of holiday homes that are located in this holiday hotspot.

The Isle of Purbeck, whilst not a true Island but a peninsula feels a world apart.  It  has been safely protected from the vagaries of the modern world by the River Frome, which meanders past the ancient town of Wareham. Purbeck is famous for its diverse landscape, coast and geology, making it a perfect location for a self-catering holiday in a traditional, Purbeck holiday cottage. Its exceptional geology has led to a rich landscape and has therefore been inhabited for thousands of years. Fancy a stay in this area of outstanding beauty?

From Coast to Country

Explore the charming villages that dot the Purbeck landscape.  Include Kingston, Worth Matravers, Langton Matravers, Kimmeridge, and Church Knowle in your exploration.

With rugged scenery, long sandy beaches, and a peaceful atmosphere, the Isle of Purbeck offers an ideal setting for relaxation and exploration.
