Lovely room and breakfast room, and excellent hosts (very friendly and gave useful advice but also gave guests their space). A large range of breakfast options and can be tailored to what you want.
The outside photos a bit deceptive as the farmhouse is actually in the middle of a residential estate surrounded by houses on all sides rather than being a farmhouse with country views. There are very few places to eat nearby but that is less to do with the property.
4.5
The spacious room, the cleanliness, the quietness, the owners, the kitchen in which breakfast is being served. Good and secured car park!
It is nice that there is a small fridge in the room but it makes noise, so I switched it off during the night. The B&B is situated in a town, in a street with other houses, so even though the farmhouse itself is fantastic and used to be situated in the country side, it’s now in town. That’s a bit of a pity. However, do stay here!

Excellent hosts Francesca & Paul King. Couldn't do enough for you, we stayed in the Garden room pleasantly decorated where the decor and furnishings were all co-ordinating. Spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable, with tea, coffee & water facilities. Choice of full English Breakfast or cereals, toast, juice etc with great choice for all. Enjoyed our one night stay there, convenient for the wedding location. Would not hesitate in staying here again.
N/A Nothing we didn't like. Unable to find fault with the hosts or accomodation. Value for money

The property was very near the cycle route 25 and had secured storage for our bicycles.
There was nothing we didn’t like

Given a choice to have your breakfast in your room or downstairs. The security off the accommodation and the size of the room. An excellent breakfast 😁

very clean and very pretty room

The welcome was lovely with the instructions clearly given as to the breakfast arrangements. The room was very comfortable with good decor and very good facilities, such as a well-functioning shower, a nice selection of toiletries, a pleasant settee in the room.
The breakfast was a good selection of cereals, juices and pastries. On both mornings, I had salmon with scrambled egg, which was presented well.
The car park has security features.
I cannot think of anything - it was a good B & B

The dream B&B - gorgeous clean room, silent at night for a sound night's sleep, modern shower, all the little touches like tea/coffee/biscuits, fresh towels and toiletries, on-site parking. One of the best cooked breakfasts we have had with the lovely touch of being cooked in front of you in the huge farmhouse kitchen while you chat to the delightful hosts and to other guests!
We stayed 2 nights for a wedding that was around 20mins taxi away in Sturminster Newton, so please do consider this place even if it seems slightly further from your event as it is definitely worth it.
Nothing not to like!

We stayed in the garden room which was spacious, beautiful and had everything we could need. Our hosts were very lovely and helpful. Breakfast was amazing.
We found it a bit tricky to find but this was mainly because we arrived in the dark.

Location

The breakfast was excellent. The location in the heart of a small housing estate came as a surprise. However the house itself was lovely and gave us everything we needed.

Francesca and Paul made every effort to make us feel welcome. Our room was very comfortable and we had two excellent nights' sleep followed by a fab breakfast in the morning
It's a shame that the toilet seats are a flimsy plastic, but we understand that this is a health and safety requirement these days.
4.5
clean, spacious and lots of nice design touches which made it smart and gave a lovely impression. very helpful, friendly and welcoming owners.
farmhouse is beautiful, only thing that could improve it for me would have been the neighborhood. there isn’t anything wrong with the neighborhood but it’s a beautiful old farmhouse in the middle of an estate.

amazing place to stay
