About this cottage rental



Alpaca Cottage is freshly and stylishly presented. It is light and airy, and spacious enough for two. The cottage has stunning views over Capability Brown laid out parkland, some of which is ours and where our small heard of alpacas (18 or so) live. You would be welcome to participate at feeding time. We also have 3 rescue chickens (as yet un-named!) who are kind enough to provide fresh eggs for out guests when they are in the mood to lay! They have also been known to wander into Alpaca Cottage because, basically, they are quite nosey.

With the sitting room/kitchen, double bedroom and designer en-suite all located on the ground floor, it is ideal for those with limited mobility.

We can now also offer Alpaca Walks, which we are running commercially. If you would like to do this, please contact us for details and pricing. It is relaxing, interesting, and fun to interact with these characterful animals!

The cottage adjoins on one side to our house, but is completely self-contained with it's own front door. It has a separate outside area for al-fresco meals or drinks. Located off a private road, and set in the midst of numerous footpaths, as well as just by the National Cycle Path #26 ( bicycles are available for rent for £10 each for half a day) , this is a superb location for the active, or for those just wanting to kick back and relax.

The cottage is also close to the beautiful River Frome, which can be walked beside, or even paddled in! The wonderful Jurassic Coast is just 10 miles away, and the historic county town of Dorchester just 5 miles away, and wonderful Sherborne is 15 miles away. We do allow well behaved dogs, at extra cost.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alpaca Cottage. Wonderful views, quiet and relaxing. The cottage had every requirement we needed and the hosts had considered every detail for their guests. The cottage is located in a very pretty part of Dorset with easy access to the coast and inland. We would certainly recommend.

Stayed at this cottage for 2 nights and would definitely recommend. We were greeted by Paul’s sister who was wonderful and informative giving us a tour of the cottage and everything we needed to know. On our stay we unfortunately had an issue with the shower however were very quickly invited to use the facilities in the main house without any question. The location is perfect and very quiet and peaceful. Waking up to the alpacas was a bonus as well as taking part in giving them a few carrot treats. The cottage has everything you needed in an ideal location. I would like to thank Paul’s sister very much for her hospitality in our stay. Our dog absolutely loved it and would definitely come back again! Cassandra, Ricky and Lola x

I stayed with my partner and my parents on the farm and everyone had the best time. The farm is beautiful, upon waking up you can already see the alpacas grazing. It's such an amazing getaway for switching off and enjoying time together. The Cottage as well as the Shepherd's hut are modern and up to amazing standards, with all the amenities you need for the perfect stay. The wifi works excellently, although I promise you you will hardly need it. Paul and Fiona are beyond welcoming and give you tips for the area. They go above and beyond to ensure you have the best time. The walk was our highlight, we laughed so much and each of us could walk their own alpaca. I can't praise this place enough. We gifted it for my dad's birthday and this is one to remember forever. So glad we did it - and hopefully, we'll be back! Thanks so much for the unforgettable weekend! :)

A very warm and cozy annexe. Well appointed, comfortable and clean. Type in address rather than post code, as post code is someway off where the property is situated. Will go back, thoroughly enjoyed our few days there, and the walks are just what we needed away from the hustle and bustle of life...
