Kim & Chris Ewen

We are SO excited to welcome you to our home! As the founders of XL Escapes, we pour our hearts into creating a space where you can relax, unwind, and make lasting memories.

​

With two rescue dogs—Holly from Bosnia and Buddy from All Bullie Rescue—and Nala, our beautiful ginger cat (and undisputed Queen of the house), we understand how important it is to feel not just at home, but truly content and relaxed—especially when traveling with your furry companions.

​

Our goal is to offer more than just a holiday; we want to provide a home away from home where you can escape daily pressures, have a laugh, and enjoy quality time with loved ones. Whether it’s a cosy night in, exploring the local area, or simply making time for yourself, we’re here to make your stay special.

​

If you have any requests—big or small—just let us know. We’re always happy to help (and we love an excuse to bring a smile to your face, drink in hand, of course!).

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.

Amenities:

Dog-Friendly Details That Matter 

XL Bullies are welcomed. Up to 2 dogs are welcome. The large garden is enclosed and provides direct access onto Corfe Common through a rear gate. The side boundaries are approximately 6ft fencing. The rear boundary is approximately 1 metre high with wire mesh. Countryside walks begin directly from the garden gate, so you can head straight onto Corfe Common without needing to drive. Dogs are welcome in the main living areas. Dogs are not allowed on beds or soft furnishings. Dogs should not be left unattended in the cottage unless agreed prior to booking. The garden opens directly onto Corfe Common, where there are sometimes friendly horses and foals grazing. If your dog isn't comfortable around livestock, this is worth bearing in mind. Parking for two cars is available directly outside the property, subject to availability.

Neighbourhood Overview:

Wrens Roost sits in the heart of Corfe Castle, just a two-minute walk from the nearest pub and around seven minutes from the village square, where you'll find traditional pubs, tea rooms and independent shops. One of the cottage's biggest attractions is its direct access onto Corfe Common from the rear garden, offering miles of countryside walks straight from the doorstep. The garden also enjoys views towards the iconic Corfe Castle. The Isle of Purbeck, Swanage, Studland, Old Harry Rocks and the Jurassic Coast are all within easy reach, making Wrens Roost an excellent base for exploring both the countryside and coastline.
