Just returned from a week here as a family of 4 with two young children aged 6 and 3. The village of corfe castle is picture postcard perfect, and this cottage a true gem.
Everything within the cottage fits just right, it's beautifully furnished and feels really homely and relaxing. The kitchen contains everything you need and more for a self catering holiday and the bonus of the washer drier was a godsend on our wet week away. There's a main bathroom downstairs with shower, but also a toilet and sink upstairs. Our room was warm, the bed extremely comfortable. Our kids loved the midi bunk beds in the second room and slept great every night - a lie in might have been nice though!!
The garden outside is beautiful, and though there are steps, like the cottage it is very child friendly.
We found so much we wanted to do in the area a week really wasn't enough. Our kids particularly loved the steam train and then the beach in swanage and a local kids farm called putlake. If you're looking for a nice meal steak-a-saurus in nearby wareham was our hands down meal of the week.
This cottage, and in this location we couldn't recommend enough. If we ever plan on visiting the area we'd without doubt stay here again. I imagine it's beautiful year round, and the lovely fire would make for a cozy winter break.

Hill View Cottage is a credit to the owners. Well appointed and plenty of room. We are a family of 2 adults and a teenager and had plenty of room. Nice Cosy Living room with Inglenook fire(Gas fired) A decent size kitchen so you can prepare your own meals if you want to. extremely comfy beds makes you feel right at home and excellent Wi-Fi as well . It also has a large Garden with a Breakfast patio, Raised Patio with sun loungers and a lovely Decked area at the top of the garden to relax with a bottle of wine with views of the castle. In the pretty little village there is 2 excellent Pubs the Grey hound which is at the foot of the Castle and the Castle Inn. serving good food and drink, Old fashioned sweet shop, Shop for good local produce and a excellent Bakery. There are Good Transport links A steam Train Service that runs to Swanage or the Breezer Buses. The Cottage is a ideal place if you want to visit the Purbecks very close to many beaches.
We had a wonderful week in Hill View Cottage and wished we booked for longer and will definitely book again for a stay in the area. Highly recommended.

We were looking for a cosy base from which to explore the area and could not have found a better place. The cottage does not disappoint, full of character, surprisingly spacious, comfortable and perfectly located.
The lack of private parking was no issue as the reserved place in the local car park is a few minutes walk from the cottage. We travelled with our two children (young teens) and the essential wifi lived up to their exacting standards, the second room was compact but fine for them for a long weekend!
The garden was ideal for the dog and there are loads of walks on the door step as well as the lovely beach at Studland!
We had a cracking few days and can highly recommend if you are looking for a cosy, comfortable retreat!

We stayed here with our two dogs for 8 days in January. The cottage has great character, was really cosy and felt like home. It is ideally located for exploring the Isle of Purbeck and Jurassic coast. There is a great view of Corfe Castle from the garden, and the village is a very short walk. Although most of the village was closed down for the winter we still managed to find some decent local dog-friendly pubs. Studland Beach is a short drive away and was fabulous to walk the dogs. Also nearby are Tyneham village, Swanage, Durlston Park, Durdle Door and Lulworth Bay and Castle. You can get to most Dorset villages within an hour. Cooking in the kitchen was a bit of a challenge at times but we managed. The wi-fi was fast and reliable. We had no issues with the TV, and the sofa is comfy. The gas fire is wonderful and brightened up the January evenings! Would recommend.

What a lovely cosy cottage to spend Christmas! Very well equipped, the owners had even put some decorations up which made it so cosy sitting round the very impressive fire in the Inglenook fireplace. Eateries excellent so many to choose from. The Santa Steam train to Swanage was a must! As a couple we really enjoyed the whole experience of going away for Christmas.

This was a very last minute booking, we enquired for the specific date, heard within an hour from Mike that the date was free. Mike was very friendly and made us all feel comfortable. The cottage is so so beautiful, inside it is fit to suit a whole family, has a very warm and homely cottage. Would most definitely recommend. We have booked dates again and did so almost immediately. Very very happy and impressed.
