About this chalet rental

Hardy is a Scandinavian style timber framed chalet in the grounds of a working dairy farm surrounded by Blue Spruce trees.
Hardy (aptly named after the author Thomas Hardy) has three en-suite bedrooms.


We are happy for any visitors to watch the milking in the afternoons. It is a fasinating process to watch.

North Dorset Location: Hardy chalet at Stour Cross Farm sits on top of a hill just outside West Stour village.

It is centrally placed for many attractions which can be reached easily by car. The village itself is very friendly and hosts many fun fund raising events. The local free house pub boasts excellent cuisine and fine ales.

Within the grounds of Hardy are three other chalets. Duncliffe, Melbury and Wessex. All sleeping six with their own parking and surrounded by Blue Spruce Fir trees.

Our games room is available for our guests.. It consists of a table tennis table, Table football, large connect 4 and air hockey. For the little ones they can play on the car mat with a selection of cars.

We stayed at one of four lovely, spacious and well equipped villas in the heart of the Dorset countryside. The views are beautiful and the only noise is that of a working farm which we found very comforting. The villa was very roomy with comfortable beds and the en-suite bathrooms to each of the three bedrooms was a hit with our family. Chris (the host) was very helpful and looked after all our needs. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were able to cook very large meals with ease. The lounge had comfortable, leather sofas and theall important TV worked well. If anyone is looking for a restful, rural holiday you could not do better.

Had a great time here. Host was lovely and helpful, games room a nice bonus, seeing new born calves also a bonus. Location a bit away from things but not a real problem as that was the idea. Overall a great stay in a comfortable property.

We all really enjoyed our stay in Hardy cottage 15/8/20 - 22/8/20. Cottage had all amenities and instructions on how to use them. Beds were very comfortable and clean and all showers in en suites worked very well with constant hot water. Beautiful location and we enjoyed our first experience of staying on a working farm. We was lucky enough to witness lots of cows calving. Christina was very obliging and contact with her throughout our stay was very good. Would highly recommend staying here for location, amenities and although very rural, is only a drive away from many attractions. Would love to come back and stay here
