Absolutely perfect for our special family celebrations getaway with the dogs too. Spacious and so well equipped - we cooked breakfasts and dinners for 12 most days and could enjoy the food around the lovely big table all together. Beautiful walking straight off the farms and short drive to our favourite hills. Comfortable beds and plenty of storage. Adrian made us feel so welcome and we quickly made the farmhouse our home. Hopefully, we will return again for future family celebrations.

Family holiday

We had a lovely week staying in the Farmhouse, which was a perfect size for our family get together of 11 people - ages ranging from 16 months to 70 - plus 2 dogs. The property was very comfortable with a very well-equipped kitchen and a large comfy lounge, and bedrooms. The outside area was great with stunning views from the bbq area, plus enough space for outdoor games and lots of choice of various dog walks from the house. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming with good communication beforehand. We would definitely return to the Farmhouse in the future as everyone had such a relaxing time there.

Could have been better.

If you are looking for a spacious six bedroom farmhouse in an idyllic place, and allowing dogs, then look no further. However, the accommodation is a little tired and dated in many places, and needs modernising. Having paid close to £3k for a week there, we did expect a little better. True, it is spacious, the kitchen is well supplied, with a dishwasher and large fridge freezer. The spacious lounge was overlooked by a little used storage conservatory, with cobwebs in places. The settees had not been moved for some time, as we saw when looking for lost items. The level of cleanliness throughout could have been a little better. There is a communal laundry room with two washing machines, and a single dryer; the surfaces were again dusty. Next door, a playroom, with a billiards table, table football, and a supply of books and DVDs. The main bedroom had a tiny en-suite bathroom; we had a problem with the toilet flush which took a few days to be repaired, only to fail again, and later repaired for a second time. Bedroom two again, had a tiny bathroom. The third and fourth bedrooms were of reasonable size, and bedroom 5 and 6 were in the attic, with beams limiting heights in places. Lovely grounds in a very quiet rural area, with a lovely private BBQ area, with a gas appliance. Horses, pheasants and rabbits add to the ambience. Wi-fi was very good downstairs. It is 2.2miles from the outskirts of Bridport, along single track country lanes, which are frequently in use.
