This Victorian cottage was once a piggery, and though converted, still has original features. Situated on a farm, you’ll not only be surrounded by countryside, but you can buy free-range eggs and grass-reared meat from your neighbour – it’s a bucolic lifestyle here. Only children over fifteen are welcome to join you here, allowing for true R&R. A welcome pack is provided by your host, though you’ll also find a farm shop in the beautiful Hamstone village, North Perrott. The terrace is a particular highlight – and the perfect spot to unwind after country walks. Alternatively, enjoy a beach walk along the Jurassic Coast, a short drive away.

Local guide
About Dorset
If you want to immerse yourself in the England of yesteryear, a trip to the county of Dorset is a good place to start. The author Thomas Hardy seemed to concur – he drew heavily on his experience growing up around these parts to create the fictionalised rural idyll of Wessex that was the setting for many of his books. It’s fair to say that not too much has changed...
