Full Property Description:
Chaffeys Cottage is a charming Grade II listed character cottage, located just moments from Corfe Common, where many of the area's best walks begin, yet only a 5 to 10-minute stroll from the village square with its independent shops, traditional pubs and the iconic Corfe Castle.
Tastefully modernised whilst retaining many original features, Chaffeys Cottage offers the perfect blend of traditional charm and comfortable living, making it an ideal base for families or small groups exploring the Jurassic Coast and surrounding countryside.
The cottage sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms:
Ground floor twin bedroom.
First floor double bedroom.
First floor bunk bedroom with full-size bunk beds.
There are two bathrooms, including a ground floor shower room and a first floor family bathroom.
The welcoming open-plan sitting and dining room centres around an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, creating the perfect place to relax after a day outdoors.
The well-equipped galley kitchen overlooks the garden and includes everything needed for a self-catering stay, while a separate utility area houses a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Outside, the large enclosed garden provides a peaceful place to relax, complete with outdoor furniture for dining or enjoying the fresh Dorset air.
Please note that, as a traditional cottage, Chaffeys has low ceilings, exposed beams, narrow doorways and winding stairs which all add to its character.

For Our Four Legged Guests:
XL Bullies are welcomed.
Up to 3 dogs are welcome, although guests with more dogs are encouraged to enquire as some flexibility may be available.
The large garden is fully enclosed and secured with a mixture of approximately 6ft fencing and tall, dense hedging. One section has a lower fence, although the owner advises the garden remains secure.
The garden has secure side access.
Dogs are welcome throughout the living areas.
Sofa cuddles are welcome, provided throws are used.
Dog throws and towels are usually provided if you've forgotten yours.
Dogs may be left at the cottage once they're settled, provided they are crated.
Countryside walks can be accessed directly from the doorstep, with Corfe Common just moments away.
The enclosed garden offers very little visibility of passing people or dogs, making it a good option for many reactive dogs.
The cottage is semi-detached, so it's worth bearing in mind that the neighbouring property may have a dog.

XL Escapes Peace Of Mind Promise
Every business you see on XL Escapes has confirmed to us that they welcome XL Bullies.
Before being listed, we ask the questions we'd want answered ourselves — from real experience living and travelling with XL and reactive dogs.
That includes confirming they are happy to host XL Bullies, that their listing details are accurate, and that they've considered their own legal and insurance responsibilities.
We don't assume.
We don't guess.
We ask — and they confirm.
If anything changes or a business doesn't stand by what they've told us, we take it seriously.
If a business listed on XL Escapes turns you away because of your dog's breed, contact us.
We will review it, remove them if necessary, and refund your membership.
