The space Originally built circa 1750 the cottage is nestled right on the edge of Corfe Common , where you ( and maybe your pets) have full access to at all times. You can walk to the centre of Corfe Castle village within ten minutes . You will have your own private entrance and will have a small patio area ( sunny in afternoon and evening )where you can enjoy drinks and maybe a barbeque. Otherwise you can always wander into the Common at the end of the drive and find yourself a quiet spot. So far we have let the cottage out to friends - all have commented ( without encouragement ) on the “atmosphere ” and acoustics created by the thick Dorset stone walls , the wooden clad ceiling and the soft north light filtering through the predominate gable end window. There is no access to the glazed balcony , the table , chairs and lights are purely decorative . The wall mounted swivel TV is Wifi connected with a separate Bluetooth speaker system so you can stream music, watch Netflix , I Player etc . The wooden staircase to mezzanine is a bit steep . Down stairs there is a wet room with hand basin and a separate toilet with small hand basin . Parking is available for two vehicles and possibly a trailer . Please do remember that you are next to the Common , so you might see the odd deer crossing the drive and you will get a varied selection of insects flying in and around the cottage . Bring a torch as there are no street lights at the end of our street. Feel free to use the log burner , the logs are free. Basically, you can use this place as a base or just rest up , gather your thoughts or forget them even . We, the Hosts, live next door but you will be left alone. If you need help just ask .We are quite friendly . Guest access Please avoid using back door (unless using it for a fire escape )as this leads onto Host’s private patio. No access to Hosts garden next door .Guests have access to front driveway of cottage and south facing patio outside cottage . Please check with Hosts for parking area on arrival as this is part of the Host’s driveway and other vehicles need access to it. Other things to note Please note that there is an Army training base at Lulworth and occasionally distant gun fire can be heard from the firing range and some areas along the coast can close , for further information please check the government website for the Lulworth-firing-notice .
