NO SET ARRIVAL OR DEPARTURE DATES  ALL SEASON (minimum 2 nights)

We are a small family run beef and sheep farm in the beautiful West Dorset countryside. The Visit England sign means "quality in tourism" and that we are "Alternative Accommodation Accredited".  We are in an area of “Outstanding Natural Beauty”, near Beaminster, with lovely country views in the day and with little light pollution, starlit nights (weather permitting).

OUT YURTS

We have three 15ft diameter yurts each sleeping 4/5 people.(max 4 adults).  Constructed of ash wood frames and water resistant canvas.  Situated on a level grass field, with newly planted fruit trees,  very easy access and parking, with plenty of room of your own.  Hot showers and toilets.

We are approximately 12 miles from the Jurassic south coast, and yet easy access to the Somerset Levels north, the Blackdown Hills west and Thomas Hardy country east.

AROUND THE FARM AND THINGS TO DO

We are a working farm. There are cows and calves, ewes and lambs in the fields. Watch and feed the chickens and ducks ( eggs for sale). Play outside ball games, or inside board games, or just relax in front of an open fire taking in the scenery, and toasting marshmallows!      Sorry NO DOGS.

VERY SAFE FOR CHILDREN
