About 2 Heathland Cottages

A quirky holiday cottage in a former isolation hospital with amazing views over the Purbeck Hills.

2 Heathland Cottages is one half of a former isolation hospital. Now a well-equipped, quirky holiday cottage, the interior is clad in pitch pine and boasts a cosy open fire and tall ceilings. There are three bedrooms, one of which a stunning gallery bedroom, and enough room for five people and two dogs.

With amazing views from the cottage over the Purbeck Hills, you’ll soon want to be exploring the area on foot. Make your first pit stop the Halfway Inn, a delightful pub just a five minute stroll from 2 Heathland. The cottage also at the heart of the Jurassic Coast and within easy reach of the Purbeck coast, including picturesque Lulworth Cove.  

Corfe Castle is only 10 minutes by car from the cottage. Open 364 days a year, this fascinating ruin makes for a great day out for all the family. The Victorian seaside resort of Swanage is close by too.

About the Acorn rating

Back to top

To help find the best cottage for you, we have created our own quality rating system for our holiday cottages called the Acorn rating. Ranging from 1-5 Acorns, the rating gives you an indication of a property’s facilities, fixtures and fittings, with five being the highest quality level. The Acorn rating is not connected to any other industry rating system that may be used for holiday cottages and is only to be used as a guide that covers location, style of interior and the facilities you may be looking for. We do not set our cottage pricing based on the Acorn rating we have given a cottage as all our cottages are of an individual nature. Therefore, we recommend that all factors are considered when making your choice. In addition, some of our cottages are curated to be sympathetic to their time period. This means that they might not have all of the aspects of modern living, but impress in so many other ways.

1 Acorn: simple living accommodation with basic furniture and fixtures fit for purpose and clean. Running water and a toilet are provided. There could be some limitations to heating and washing facilities – details of these will be stated clearly on the cottage's webpage. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied with a few exceptions, which are again clearly stated). Facilities for basic catering and living are provided. In general, a 1 Acorn cottage does not have WiFi.

2 Acorn: a mid-quality range of furniture and fittings. Bathroom facilities are basic or there may be a high number of guests to bathroom ratio depending on the size of the cottage. Very few 2 Acorn cottages have WiFi and the kitchen white goods and washing facilities are basic. Bedding, linen and towels are supplied in all 2-5 Acorn cottages.

3 Acorn: a good, standard offer. Generally it is correctly proportioned for the number of guests but could have a few compromises, for example a small kitchen, or a lower bathroom to guest ratio. The variety of white goods available will be better than a 2 Acorn cottage.

4 Acorn: these cottages have more premium furniture, fittings and lighting. Additionally the ratio of bathrooms to guests is likely to be higher, and the bathrooms would be more likely to have separate and spacious showers instead of showers over baths.

5 Acorn: a luxury accommodation offer with very few limiting factors. This is the highest offer available. It is well-equipped and has spacious facilities throughout the cottage or is set within an extraordinary location or building. The furniture is of a high standard, and has real comfort for modern living.
