The most amazing accommodation I stayed here being a part of a wedding party and it was incredibly beautiful. I stayed in one of the one bed cottages and my friends/ family stayed in the main house the whole facilities are beautiful.

The bothy at the farm is well appointed and relatively cosy (Does need a little bit of a refresh - although visit was near end of season). The outside bath is an experience not to be missed (positive!). Good size indoor pool 7am to 7pm. Location good for most areas in and around Dorset. Would I stay again? Yes!

Idyllic setting in the dorset country side. rooms were lovely. we stayed in one of the self contained bothy houses. hosts couldn't have been friendlier. a couple of lovely local pubs close by, and some great walking routes to help us explore the area.
