About Ash

Set on the wonderful Herston Yards Farm holiday park in Swanage, within the gorgeous Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, rests this lovely, picturesque, wood-built holiday lodge, Ash. Boasting an enclosed, wraparound decking with furniture and private hot tub, a tastefully-presented open-plan living space, and superb positioning to on-site amenities and facilities, this charming home welcomes a family or group of seven, and their well-behaved dog, for a relaxing, self-catered escape near the idyllic Dorset coastline.

Make yourself comfortable in your new home-from-home, by getting to work in the property's fully-equipped kitchen space, complete with all the utensils you'll need to whip up a tasty, home-cooked meal. Savour your dinners at the dining table or outside on the decking when the sun is shining overhead.

When you're ready, take a relaxing, long soak in the outdoor hot tub, and watch as day rolls into night and the stars begin to stud the dreamy night-time sky. When sleep calls, treat yourself to a rejuvenating wash in the whirlpool bathtub before you retire for a well-earned rest in any of three plush bedrooms.

After sipping your coffee on the outdoor decking, head out to explore your local surroundings. Head over to The Shop, an on-site store filled with all the essentials you'll need during your stay.

If you're hungry, enjoy a hearty spot of lunch at The Old Mess Room, which is also located on the holiday park. A short drive from your accommodation will take you to the seaside town of Swanage, where you and your loved ones can hop aboard the historic Swanage Railway, enjoy the stunning vista of Swanage Bay, or even embark on a peaceful stroll along the calm location of Swanage Pier.

For an unforgettable holiday in Dorset, look no further than Ash.

Loch Lomond Sealife Centre - G83 8QL
about 6 Miles
The perfect place to visit on a rainy day this large Sealife Centre is currently offering 2 tickets for £15.00 when you book online. Top attractions include the amazing shark tunnel, the rock pools and the otter enclosure. This year Loch Lomond Sealife Centre is also home to Cammy - the only Giant Sea Turtle in Scotland! The centre also offers visitors an educational experience with talks and hands on events taking place daily.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 11 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY

Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet.  From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money.  You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days.  You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.
