Brook’s Cottage

Set on a smallholding where ducks, geese and chickens run freely, these former farm buildings have been converted to offer excellent comfortable holiday accommodation. Both part of the original 18/19th-century farm buildings, they can be booked together to accommodate larger groups or family bookings. Each property has access to a shared patio at the front and its own enclosed courtyard at the rear. Guests can also walk on the 5 acres of grounds. The properties are set on the road which links Pulham and Bucklands Newton. Watcombe Plain lies 2 miles distant, sitting 220 metres above sea level with good views of the surrounding landscape, and on a clear day Glastonbury Mount to the north and Portland Bill to the south. Cerne Abbas - famous for its large chalk giant - as well as numerous tearooms makes for a lovely day out. Other places of interest include Bridport, Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth and Sherborne to the north, all within a short drive, along with the many chocolate box villages dotted along the coast. Close by, the county town of Dorchester is well known for its association with Thomas Hardy. Ideal walking and riding country, visitors may bring their own horses by arrangement; cycle hire and guided walks available via owner.
