About 2 Heathland Cottages

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.

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.
