Town: The idyllic small Dorset village of Dewlish nestles in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, west of the Purbeck Hills, beside the chalk streamed Devil’s Brook, a tributary of the quaintly named River Piddle. Surrounded by chalk downland, rich in agriculture and beloved by Thomas Hardy, Dewlish offers visitors a tranquil rural Dorset village holiday base. There are numerous well-marked footpaths extending out across this unspoilt countryside, and after enjoying a scenic stroll you can reward yourself with refreshment at the friendly local pub. A short drive takes you to the county market town of Dorchester, where you are spoilt for choice when it comes to a bit of retail therapy offering an array of interesting outlets from small independent shops to the usual high street retailers, together with a wide selection of different types of eateries, catering for all budgets. Take in excursions to the Dorset Jurassic Coast, picturesque Milton Abbas, or Tolpuddle, the home of the trade union movement, Athelhampton House or Monkey World and the Bovington Tank Museum, all an easy drive.

Fantastic building and location
Fantastic old farmhouse with acres of inside space, cracking games room. Only negatives being the lack of toilet roll for the weekend, and handheld showers with no screen in several ensuites, but the positives outweigh these entirely. Only reason we would consider not returning is the 10am kickout on the Sunday morning is just unnecessarily early, it was such a shame and dampened the experience as it doesn't really leave time for a proper breakfast/morning at the property, which when you've booked for a weekend is basically just a day and evening...
