The front door of Bluebell Cottage, leads off West Street and opens into a hallway, with doors to the kitchen/diner, sitting room, utility room and staircase. There is a well-equipped cottage style kitchen, with a dining table and chairs, where you can enjoy the castle view, whilst enjoying a leisurely breakfast or home cooked evening meal.

Comfy seating surrounds the fireplace and Smart TV, creating a welcoming atmosphere. There is a picture-perfect window seat offering stunning views of Corfe Castle.

REVIEWS
This cottage was very cosy and so conveniently positioned. From the end of the garden we walked out to East Street and caught the bus to Swanage, and then another bus to Studland. In the evenings it was just a short stroll to the pubs, so we did not drive for most of the holiday.
Dave & Diana – September 2025
Bluebell Cottage was perfect for our family of 5 and our dog. It was very clean on our arrival and we welcomed the coffee, milk & biscuits which were left for us. The property is spacious and comfortable and equipped with everything for an enjoyable stay and we enjoyed relaxing in the garden in the evenings. We hope to come back soon.
The Pike Family – September 2025
The cottage is beautiful and tastefully furnished and the description is spot on. It is in an excellent spot for going to the bakery and the shop in the morning, and the pubs in the evening. The gate at the end of the garden was so useful for walking our dog on the common. We love visiting Corfe, this is our 5th stay, but first time in Bluebell Cottage and we will be back.
