Bere Farm
Nestling in the beautiful rolling countryside bordering Devon and Somerset these charming Dorset cottages enjoy a courtyard setting with the owners' elegant farmhouse previously part of the historic Forde Abbey Estate. Cosy and well appointed (including Wi-Fi connection) they share 8 acres of lovely grounds home to barn owls and abundant wildlife and offering visitors plenty of space in which to relax and unwind. Children will love the play area with its trampoline, slides ,swings and climbing frame and there is a pond with carp to fish as well as a bubbling stream (unfenced toddlers beware!).
A wonderful array of places of interest and visitor attractions are easily accessible – Barrington Court and Montacute House are among the National Trust properties within an easy drive, the Abbotsbury Swannery is well worth a visit and Forde Abbey and Gardens and the Cricket St Thomas Wildlife Park are both found nearby.
The coastal towns and villages invite exploration – pretty Lyme Regis with its famous Cobb, Bridport with its lively street markets and the bustling waterfront at West Bay (once called Bridport Harbour) brimful of family fun and activities. Much of the West Dorset countryside setting for Thomas Hardy's celebrated novels such as 'Far from the Madding Crowd' and 'Tess of the d'Urbervilles' is an area of outstanding natural beauty dotted with picturesque villages many with welcoming country inns and home to numerous restaurants serving the excellent local cuisine. Village shops and pubs are within ¼ mile.
