Bed and Breakfast Description

The owners purchased the property in 1986 and have gradually renovated and restored the buildings to create a B&B with two self-catering cottages. They live here with our four children.

Vintage Car Restoration is carried out in a converted Cart shed where the owner restores Post-War classics.

They also run a rural small holding with 2 acres of land where we keep their two Arabian horses Jasmine and Ariel, as well as compete in long distance riding. They also have two Labradors,a Westie and of course there are the free range chickens.

Local Attractions
It is an area of outstanding natural beauty and special interest for its wild flowers, grasses, butterflies and Iron Age cross dykes. It was purchased by The National Trust in memory of Thomas Hardy (1840-1928) as a reminder of some of his great writings that took place in Dorset and his love of the county.

No fertilisers or sprays have been used to encourage the colonisation of chalk loving flowers. In summer the profusion of flowers and butterflies on the site gives us a glimpse of what was once a familiar sight in the countryside.

A short drive leads to the historic town of Shaftesbury, famous for Gold Hill, whilst further a field beckon beaches and coastal paths as well as the towns of Salisbury and Sherborne with their cafes, museums and inns.
 

B&B Location
The village sits astride the A350, just beyond Melbury Hill in a most beautiful part of the Dorset countryside.
