The annexe was very well kitted out with everything you could need, but also included a photo of the late mother in the lounge, and a few cobwebs in the bathroom, possibly missed due to the necessary cleaning of the place after the previous tenants had been there three months. And the settee cushions in the lounge could do with reupholstering with sponge. But overall a lovely place to stay, with visits from Jango the dog, and the very affectionate cat

Lovely peaceful location, an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. The annexe is well equipped and cosy. Highlight: the warm welcome from the owners' dog when returning to the annexe each day!

I had to arrange an extended stay and was delighted to find this cottage which met most of my requirements. The cottage was snug and comfortable, well equipped and set in the most beautiful and magical garden - away from thre bustle of the world but very convenient for Dorchester, Blandford, Sherborne and Shaftesbury. The welcome and warmth of the hosts was impeccable. They were most welcoming and generous with sharing their garden. The only negative was that the hosts’ dog was most unfriendly towards mine and actually made several unwarranted attacks on her. Although Mark & Madeleine made efforts to contain their dog - towards the end of my stay - I was uneasy remaining in the property with my dog which was such a pity As everything else was perfect.

Fine except for rain and wind

We really enjoyed our holiday staying at Ridge Farm. The Annexe was very comfortable and spacious and the gardens were a delight. We received a warm welcome from the hosts, Madeline, Mark we would not hesitate to return. The accommodation is outstanding value for money, the annexe is just the right size for us and the dog. The annexe is clean and warm and the beds are comfortable. Lovely location for peace and quiet. we would definitely recommend. Thanks Madeline and Mark.

We really enjoyed our holiday staying at Ridge Farm. The location was ideal for us visiting many places. The Annexe was very comfortable and spacious and the gardens were a delight. We received a lovely welcome from the hosts, Madeline, Mark and especially Jango (the dog). Would not hesitate to return to this part of England.

This annex cottage is the perfect home from home. The location is excellent for accessing Bournemouth, Weymouth, Swanage, being central to the Jurassic Coast; about 50 minutes drive. The hosts are welcoming and extremely helpful. The accommodation is outstanding value for money. We had an excellent stay and very much hope to return.

We had a terrific stay at the Farmhouse. Lovely gardens full of fresh, springtime colors with sheep grazing in the field beyond. This sparkling clean and spacious annexe reflects the warmth and hospitality of Mark and Madeline and is loaded with the comfort of “home.” Thanks to our host and hostess.

Watching the blue birds, listening to the sheep, feeling the stress just floating away. Perfect

We have had a really lovely weekend stay at Ridge farm annexe. Friendly owners who so kindly provided bread, milk etc on arrival The annexe is spotlessly clean and the bed sheets smelt heavenly! Beautiful views across the countryside from the annexe and I could've stood all day by the kitchen window watching all the different birds on the feeder. A great base from which to explore Dorset. A wonderful stay, Many, many thanks.

Homely base to visit Dorset villages. Nice quiet place to rest after a long day out.Very clean and every thing you need for your stay. Kevin and shirley

We stayed only two nights and we wished we stayed longer, Madeline and Mark were very nice and friendly and the property was clean and comfortable. We highly recommend this place, it was very quiet and peaceful, the perfect break that we needed.

Highly recommended!

An ideal location for a peaceful, country getaway. Compact layout, comprehensive kitchen and comfy beds. Would have appreciated more comfy seating.

The property is in a quiet location set in a very pretty garden. The owners have thought of everything necessary to make the time spent there perfect. It is tastefully furnished, the beds are comfortable and kitchen very well stocked. I though it was excellent value accommodation. We loved the large ornamental cat which sat in the hearth.

We loved this property. Very comfortable, lovely thoughtful hosts, well-equipped kitchen, quiet, within driving distance of many sites. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely two days in the annex, which was clean and well equipped. The owners made us very welcome.
