A beautiful part of the world and a picturesque holiday cottage.
The Glen Cottage is a lovely place to stay. We were looking for an isolated setting and it fit the bill perfectly. The scramble down to the beach is a lot of fun and, as the main access was closed, we had the whole bay to ourselves. The only problem we had was with the path to access the cottage. There had been a lot of rain and so it was a bit muddy and uneven, so we ended up leaving our car at the bottom of the hill a couple of times rather than risk getting stuck or damaging the bottom of the vehicle on the exposed rock. This wouldn't be a problem most of the year or in an SUV but we were driving a Prius. I would love to go back in spring or summer. We really enjoyed walking straight out of the property onto the South Coast path and all the way to Durdle Door and Lullworth Cove. Such a magical part of the world.

Weekend break
Lovely break in an idyllic cottage. The secret walk to the beach is magical, and Ringstead Bay is an absolute gem of a beach, with crystal clear waters. Lovely walk along the coastal path in the evening for supper at the Smugglers Inn. Locations dont get much better than this!

Peaceful & secluded.
Peaceful, secluded cottage with plenty of 'olde worlde' character yet with enough 'mod cons' for todays world. The picture of the sitting doesn't do it justice as the soft furnishing have been updated since the photos were taken. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay which was enhanced by the good weather.
