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.
