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.
Das Ferienhaus war top gelegen. Es war direkt an einem Wanderweg, von den aus wie einige Touren laufen konnten. Das Haus ist sehr klein hat aber alles was man braucht. Einziges Manko ist die fehlende Dusche. Das steht aber klar in der Anzeige und war und bekannt. In der Badewanne zu duschen setzt etwas Beweglichkeit voraus, geht aber. Die Wanne ist halb unter einer DachschrÀge. Wir hatten nur Michael von r Vermieterfamilie getroffen. Ein sehr freundlicher Mensch, der uns bei einem kleinen Problem direkt helfen konnte. Es hatte eine Suppenkelle gefehlt. Keine 5 Minuten spÀter hatten wir eine. Alles in allem ein guter Aufenthalt in einem originellen "tiny house". Wir können die Unterkunft klar empfehlen.
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.
Als wir ankamen, standen Blumen, Honig und Kekse auf dem Tisch. Es war alles wie auf den Fotos und noch schöner! Der Panoramablick ist toll! Wir haben uns wie zu Hause gefĂŒhlt und hĂ€tten uns keine schönere Unterkunft wĂŒnschen können.Sehr gutes W-LANSehr viele attraktive Ausflugsziele in der NĂ€heWanderungen von der HaustĂŒr aus möglich
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.
Idea location for days out in Dorset. Fantastic views from most windows.All amenities you need and Manager next door if needed.Welcome pack leftNice and clean and dog friendly with own private garden. Few low ceilings to navigate in bathroom and bedrooms.Great stay. Thank you
Excellent little property, ideal for solo traveller/couple or small family. Beautiful location with stunning views in all directions, especially down the valley to Corfe.Everything I needed was there and communication was very good throughout.
Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Super nette Vermieter. Aufmerksamkeiten zur BegrĂŒĂung. Honig, Kekse,Butter, Cider. Es gibt viel zu erkunden in der Umgebung.
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 arenât 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 couldnât 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 youâre 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. đđđŸ
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 isnât 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.
Lovely views all around and a wonderful host.private garden and a beautiful sunny patio.
Conveniently placed to visit corfe and Swanage. Comfy bed with beautiful bedding.
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 Chapmanâs 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!
I am retired teacher, married to a community nurse and we have lived in the area for over twenty years. We are passionate about its unique opportunities for appreciating nature and, being musical, have become fully involved in several artistic societies and groups. Our golden retriever also seems to enjoy a life of endless, varied walks.
Having grown up first, in London then in Herefordshire, I was totally drawn to a life in the countryside out of choise. When an opportunity to teach in the Purbeck Hills presented itself, I abandoned London and fell in love with Dorset and its beautiful surroundings. Apart from a brief spell of teaching in Sussex, we have stayed here ever since. My wife also fell in love with the area when she began her hospital training in Weymouth so we have now managed to combine all our preferences.
Sally and I fell in love with this property on a sparkling day in May when the skylarks were singing, the surrounding fields had just been harvested and the sky was pure blue. We then realised you could view key sites from each point of the compass: Corfe Castle to the north; the Isle of Wight to the east; Kingston to the west and Chapman's Pool to the south. We felt that its location was quite unique and we did not want to miss the opportunity. We have never regretted our decision.
