Hike Purbeck Way to Studland $0.00 0.00 0.00 We walked from Harman's Cross to Studland, mostly on the Purbeck Way today. We short-cutted from near Ballard Down, over the hill straight to Studland, thinking that we would hit Old Harry Rocks on the second leg of our journey, from Studland to Swanage. Then Beth and I started feeling bonky and we decided to take the bus all the way back instead, so we missed Old Harry Rocks entirely. Dang.

April Cottage is an exceptionally beautiful property. The home is beautiful, the garden is beautiful, the whole setting is beautiful. Before our arrival, Peter helped me plan our multi-legged journey to get there. He keyed in immediately to our activity preferences and offered fantastic advice for walks and destinations in the area, including lending us his great Explorer map of the area. The breakfasts he prepares are amazing - delicious, nutritious and beautifully presented. This is probably the nicest place I've ever stayed in my life.
