Riddles is an attractive 18th Century character cottage ideally situated in a quiet road, a short walk from the picturesque village square of Corfe Castle.
On the ground floor the delightful sitting room has comfortable seating and a wood burning stove, set in a splendid inglenook fireplace, which makes this cottage perfect for any time of the year. There is an attractively furnished dining room, with stairs leading to the bedrooms.
At the rear of the cottage is a well equipped kitchen, with a door leading out to a secluded garden. From the kitchen, there is also a door leading to the ground floor bathroom, which is well equipped, with a bath, overhead electric shower, basin and W.C.
The stairs from the Dining Room, lead up to the bright, spacious main bedroom, which has a double bed and the pleasant second bedroom which has full size bunk beds, suitable for children, big teenagers or even adults.
This character cottage is cosy and welcoming, and has some low ceilings and doorways. The stairs from the dining room to the bedrooms are typical of an older cottage and are steep, twisting, and with narrow steps in places.
The fully enclosed garden is accessed from the kitchen and has good quality garden furniture, which provides the perfect place for breakfast or for relaxing in the early evening sunshine. The garden has a delightful plum tree from where you can pick a selection of plums when they are in season to make a delicious crumble for dessert.
This is a charming, well appointed cottage, situated in the quietest part of the village of Corfe. There are some lovely country walks nearby and it is only 5-10 minutes’ walk to the village square with its shops, pubs, the castle and the steam train.

Reviews
A charming property with a lovely enclosed garden we spent a wonderful week here. Great walks on the doorstep and the village pubs have some good options to eat at. We would return with no hesitation.
This was the third time we stayed at the cottage and we enjoyed much needed relaxation each time. Excellent facilities and good location for walking or driving to nearby places and beaches. Hope to come back again next year.
As usual we all had a wonderful week in Corfe.Fulbeck is a great place to stay in every possible way. Very well appointed, comfortable, convenient, nice garden, lovely surroundings. Our friend who stayed in riddles were equally happy in Riddles and with it’s proximity to Fulbeck. I think the fact we return year after year proves how satisfied we are with the excellent service we receive from Corfe and Purbeck holidays.
We thought it was good for two people. It is a good base to do plenty of local walks. There are some good pubs and restaurants nearby. A quiet location and a comfortable cottage.
It’s close to Corfe Common for those early morning dog walks with our Labrador & easy to walk to the local pubs for lunch/dinner & the train station to go to Swanage. A lovely quirky cottage – the stairs are a bit of a challenge so not for anyone with any mobility issues. Parking is a plus & we had lovely weather so used the garden a lot & wouldn’t hesitate to return.
I have been staying at Riddles Cottage for a number of years with my Old English Sheepdogs. The cottage is absolutely perfect, cosy and always very clean. Tracy and her team are always very welcoming and always very professional. I love the area and have made friends with the neighbours either side of the cottage, it's a real home from home and I would certainly recommend Corfe and Purbeck Hoildays wonderful friendly service nothing is to much trouble excellent good old fashioned customer service Thank You
We have been staying with Corfe & Purbeck Holidays for many years now and see Riddles Cottage as our second home. The cottage is always so nice and clean and I never hesitate to recommend Corfe & Purbeck Holidays. Tracy and all the staff are always so friendly and helpful .We always enjoy our stay.
Riddles Cottage is a homely pet friendly cottage in the centre of the lovely village of Corfe Castle, with an enclosed rear garden. It has great walks from the front door. I've already booked for next year. Tracy and the staff are always willing to go the extra mile, great customer service. Thank you all very much see you in 2022
All about the cottage is fantastic. Always nice and warm and cosy I would recommend this cottage to anyone. Thanks for a lovely holiday - ten out of ten!
I loved my time at the cottage and look forward to seeing you all again in September. The cottage is perfect, lovely and clean with a beautiful enclosed garden. A credit to Corfe & Purbeck Holidays. I would certainly recommend your company to friends and family.
We had a lovely stay at Riddles cottage. It was in a great location being close to all the areas we like to visit. It was nice to have use of the garden, especially as we had our dog with us, and also to be able to park right outside the property and off the road. The cottage was warm and cosy and nice to come back to, as it was quite cold some days. It was well equipped too, and comfortably furnished. we would happily book to stay at the cottage another time.
Thank you we had a very enjoyable time in Riddles Cottage. The cottage is ideally placed in the village, and we found it warm and comfortable in a week when the weather was not always favourable! We look forward to staying in this location again if the opportunity arises.
