The dining room benefits from double aspect windows and has a homely traditional feel. The kitchen is fully equipped with oven and hob, fridge, microwave, washing machine, freezer, tumble dryer, dishwasher and access to the adjoining conservatory. For convenience, there is a downstairs WC. All of the four bedrooms are accessed via steep stairs up to the first floor and each is bright and airy with double aspect windows making the most of the stunning views. There is also a bathroom with a power shower  and a separate WC on the first floor.

Stepping outside to the front of the property there is a front patio with table and chairs and path leading to a gravel parking area with room for three cars.

Nice property in a lovely part of Dorset. Comfortable, warm and well equipped. We found Dawn Cottage perfectly situated for walks onto the heath or to the lovely beaches. RSPB Arne is also just a short drive away.

Spacious property. Great location. Good outside space with parking. Great outdoor furniture/garden. Overgrown conifers prevent view out of dining room window. Well equipped-very large fridge/freezer. Would benefit from some new saucepans (non-stick scratched and deteriorated) and plates/bowls (lots of chips). Oven was quite dirty when we arrived anRead mored some bedding was not clean. Would benefit from deep clean and some updates. Hide

Lovely house and location. Very relaxing and dog friendly. We had a very enjoyable stay. Walking distance to South beach and fantastic dog walks on heath just minutes from the front door. Swanage only a short drive away. Cottage facilities good and rear enclosed garden great for dogs.

Dawn cottage is in a great location and the accommodation was a good choice for our family of six adults, two infants and a five year old. Previous comments about the facilities being a little 'tired' were true but with kids who wants the stress of staying in a high end property! It was clean, well equipped and there was constant hot water. You canRead more access the heath from the end of the road to a network of footpaths and there is a really good play area just down the lane. Hide

We loved this spacious, comfortable house and garden in its peaceful location. It has very good quality facilities and everything you might need, including a first for us in a holiday home: an outside hosepipe perfect for muddy dogs! We definitely recommend it and hope to return.

Dawn Cottage is a lovely, traditional well equipped holiday property located in a quiet and peaceful no-through-road. It is close to the heath but is also only a short walk to the beach and Studland Village centre.

Dawn cottage has a great location for Studland beaches and walks, old Harrys bar nearby a great find. Property is reasonably well equipped however, furnishings and decor tired and in need of a deep clean.
