Reducing fire risk

We're asking all guests to please avoid using any woodburner or open fire in their accommodation at this time, as sparks escaping from the flue may lead to wildfire due to the current dry conditions in the surrounding land. Thank you for helping us do whatever we can to reduce the risk of wildfire.

    2 Heathland Cottages is 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 four bedrooms. It's next to 1 Heathland Cottages (sleeps six, dog friendly).

    With amazing views from the cottage over the Purbeck Hills, you’ll soon want to be exploring the area on foot. There's a pub just a five minute stroll from 2 Heathland Cottages. The cottage also is 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.
