Dorset Escape

We had a wonderful stay in The Cottage at Fern Down Farm over the christmas week 2017. We were made very welcome by David and his family and the cottage was decorated for us with a christmas tree and holly.
The Cottage was beautifully situated in the rolling fields of the farm and there were plenty of walks which kept our 3 dogs happy. We had all we needed for 8 adults to stay comfortably and managed to cook a full christmas meal in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable, the showers warm and the log basket fully topped up for the fire. There was plenty of parking for our 4 cars and we’d recommend visiting Bridport and West Bay, only 20 minutes away by car. The local pub (The Spyway Inn) is about a 10 minute drive and was very welcoming and we’d recommend a meal there.
David and his family made sure we had all we needed and some of our party joined in as beaters with a shoot on the farm on our first day. I’d recommend Fern Down Farm to anyone for a fantastic break in West Dorset.

Beautiful place. Farmer dave was really helpfull and friendly and the kids absolutely loved it. We will be back!!

Never stayed in a barn before this and when it came to the end of our stay I never wanted to leave. It was amazing. The scenery is just stunning and there is undamaged land for miles around with nothing cluttering your view of the gorgeous countryside. At the farm there are plenty of facilities for use and we were able to cheekily get a quad bike tour of the Farmers land after some smooth persuading. My brain was pretty mush by the end of the quad trip but we saw some amazing places. I fully recommend staying here for a week or even more with friends or family and hope I can go again sometime. Absolutely 11/10.

Just back from a week at Dorset Escapes where a group of us hired the event field for a week to camp.

Beautiful unspoilt countryside views, lots of places to ramble and explore and only 25 minutes to a dog friendly beach. Perfect vacation.

Host is very friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for a better venue to camp in isolation.

Stayed for my sisters wedding over the jubilee weekend. Lots of glamping, dancing & laughter had by all. Beautiful location not far from Bridport. Brilliant hosts & so accommodating. Looking forward to wedfest #2 next year!

Amazing place to stay. The host is great too.

Would give more stars if i could.
Lovely location, very peaceful with a great view.
Perfect for a camping trip away from the city.
David and his daughter Izzy were exceptional hosts.
Nothing to fault, AT ALL!
We will definately come back! Thanks again

Amazing place to stay - beautiful house, very friendly and helpful host. We will be returning as soon as we can. Be prepared to visit again once you've been here, you'll love it, trust me! Thanks for an amazing stay - see you soon.
