Arrived back home yesterday afternoon after a weeks stay - from the minute going up the drive we thought this looks special and it didn't change when entering the door Immaculately presented with excellent taste in furnishings and decor- the views from almost every window was priceless of the surrounding Dorset countryside.

Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 8 Miles
This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.

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.
