The Isle of Purbeck, whilst not a true Island but a peninsula, has been safely protected from the vagaries of the modern world by the River Frome and still feels a world apart. 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?

Explore Dorset

From Coast to Country

Explore the charming villages that dot the Purbeck landscape, including Kingston, Worth Matravers, Langton Matravers, Kimmeridge, and Church Knowle.

Situated within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast and just a stone’s throw from sprawling countryside hills, these villages offer rugged scenery, long sandy beaches, and a tranquil atmosphere that is perfect for relaxation and exploration.
