We stayed here as a family for two nights on a family road trip, as a base to explore the Jurassic coast. We visited Durdle Door and West Bay and it was so close to each. We camp a lot in our tent and chose the pod due to space in our car. We are converted! Everything was thought of - towels and bedding, games and a telescope in the pod. The 'ensuite' was incredible. The walk up the hill is difficult at times but so worth it to be on your own at the top. The four ponies made our stay too, spending much of their time looking over our fence and enjoying fusses. We did the sunflower saunter and that was lovely. Lots to do on site - food van on some nights and a games room facility, etc. We would definitely visit again. Thank you.

Things to do on site and in the Bridport area
During the busy summer months, the site run moth clubs for the guests on site. This has been a huge attraction, and one year they were able to identify over 200 different types of moth. There are also three pairs of barn owls on the farm and guests can be taken on guided 'owl prowls' where you might be lucky enough to see one.
Over four miles of walks are signposted on the farm as well as several walks to local pubs and a good three mile hike to the sea. If you however fancied driving instead, it is 15 minutes to both Seatown and Charmouth beaches, great for a day on the sand.
Other local attractions:
- National Trust Golden Cap (10 minutes)
- Tunnel Tree Tops Charmouth (15 minutes)
- Donkey Walking Adventures (20 minutes)
- Dinosaurland Fossil Museum (20 minutes)
- Forde Abbey House and Gardens (25 minutes)
