Neighbourhood information

Information correct at the time of writing. A 5 minute drive away is the village of Cheselbourne, which then leads on to Melcombe Bingham and Ansty, where you can purchase your provisions at the Brewery Farm Shop, selling meat, fruit and vegetables, newspapers etc. A post office is also open here on weekday mornings. Opposite the farm shop is the welcoming village pub, The Fox Inn, serving excellent food. Other good local pubs include The Hambro Arms in the beautiful village of Milton Abbas, 15 minutes' drive away; The Brace of Pheasants at Plush, approx 20 minutes' drive away; and The River Arms at Cheselbourne, 3 minutes' drive away. Milton Abbas is a charming, thatched village with a post office, farm shop and the beautiful 15th Century Milton Abbey. For a family friendly pub serving gourmet meals, visit The Hambro Arms. There are an abundance of activities on offer locally and it's only 20 miles from the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site where you will find some breath-taking scenery, beautiful beaches and fantastic walks. Enjoy a day trip to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door with much to enjoy for a memorable holiday. The county town of Dorchester is approx a 20 minute drive away with its large selection of shops, restaurants, cafes, museums and two cinemas - National Trust properties nearby include Max Gate, Hardy's Cottage and Clouds Hill. Enjoy some great family time at Monkey World or the Tank Museum, at Bovington with its thrilling live displays. The Isle of Purbeck, which includes the beaches of Studland, Kimmeridge Bay and Swanage are within easy reach and offers opportunities for a pleasant drive through the beautiful Dorset countryside on the way.
