Knitson Old Farmhouse nestles under Nine Barrow Down on a winding little
unclassified road between Corfe Castle and Swanage. It is 1.5 miles from Swanage,
3.5nfrom Corfe and Studland and a mile north of the A351. (As you
approach Swanage, take the first left after the BP/Ford garage, then right at
the T-junction.)
The farmhouse, part 16th Century and part modern, offers 21st C. comforts and a
warm welcome. Interesting footpaths radiate from Knitson throughout Purbeck,
with long views of unspoilt countryside. The garden is very well known and
frequently opened in the National Gardens Scheme, and it’s yours during your
stay.
Superb breakfasts start the day, and hot drinks can be had at any hour without
charge, so tea on the lawn is a must on sunny days. The South Room is in the
ancient part of the house, with a queen-sized bed and a single bed in an
alcove. It has a private bathroom right across the hall. The Coal Bunker is a
new very popular room, with a double bed and cupboards up a steep oaken spiral
staircase, and sitting area and ensuite facilities on the ground floor.
Advanced booking is essential, and generous reductions for children are
available
