Ideal location for seeing the beautiful countryside of Dorest

The location allowed for a relaxing time. Plenty of space for the whole party. Ample parking .footpaths around the home to walk from.When the Steam railway is working a great view of the trains going pass.Swanage and many other attractions very close by so an ideal base.
