If you are thinking of a holiday, a weekend break or just a few days away come and relax in our beautiful, secluded 17th century listed farmhouse, peacefully nestling in the heart of Dorset's Thomas Hardy Country.

Bed and Breakfast Description

The farmhouse is part of the Historic Came Estate, which included the 12th Century church used by Thomas Hardy and local poet William Barnes. The farmhouse has one half one hundred years older than the other half and is full of of little curios that add to to the feel of authenticity.

As you would expect, the farmhouse simply oozes character and charm and for anyone familiar with the novels of Thomas Hardy, it is easy to imagine a bygone time when the building was a lot younger.

The estate extends south to the Ridgeway with spectacular views over Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Portland and the beautiful chalk downs of South Dorset.

Located just 2 miles from the historic market town of Dorchester, known by the Romans as Durnovaria, which has an excellent museum, ancient monuments such as Maiden Castle and a variety of National Trust Houses to visit.

Weymouth Bay and the Isle of Portland are only 8 miles south and offer excellent beaches, a wide range of watersports, walking, rock climbing and birdwatching.

Durdle Door Arch, probably the most photographed view along the Dorset coast and one of the wonders of the British coastline, this beach is a narrow strand of mixed shingle, gravel and sand.

Monkey World was set up in 1987 by Jim and Alison Cronin to provide abused Spanish beach chimps with a permanent, stable home. There are currently 56 chimpanzees at Monkey World, which makes it the largest group outside Africa.

Bovington Tank Museum - 2 miles.

Athelhampton House - 5 miles

Maiden Castle - 2 miles - the largest Iron Age hill fort in Europe.

Weymouth - 4 miles. Attractive seaside town with safe sandy family beach.
 

B&B Location
Coming from the east, you arrive on the outskirts of Dorchester on the A35 town bypass.

Continue round until you reach the rondabout with Dorchester Town Football Club and a large Tesco.

Turn left onto the Ridgeway, the A354 signposted to Weymouth.

A few hundred yards along on the left is a small turning off the main road with a sign to Winterbourne Herringston.

Go under the railway line and follow the road as it bears round to the right.

Persevere with this small track and you will be rewarded with the sight of the Farmhouse, just round a sharp bend on the left.
