Churchill House Reviews

Emma
We recently stayed at the Farmhouse and it was genuinely lovely. Having three generations together felt special-lots of great memories made! The house itself was spot on-warm, roomyand beautifully decorated. The two dishwashers were such a bonusand the electric car charging was handy. We loved the hot tub and the boot room. The tour with Lord D was really interestingand the gardens are absolutely stunning-perfect for a peaceful walk. We’re already planning to come back, maybe with more grandchildren next time!
Emma Carter
Great place, would recommend
Emma
We had a lovely stay on this charming farm estate, surrounded by friendly folks who genuinely made us feel welcome. The house was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully decorated, perfect for all ages. It comfortably accommodated three generations with spacious rooms and plenty of amenities. The family room upstairs was a hit with the kids! We also enjoyed free daily visits to the Himalayan gardens, plus the hot tub and heated pool were real highlights. Overall, it exceeded our expectations and we’d love to come back sometime!
Emma
We recently stayed at this lovely house with our big family of 16and everyone had a great time. The place is really spacious and beautifully decorated, with comfy furnishings all around. The kitchen was fully stocked, which made cooking easy. We loved the little extras, like books in each room, that really added a nice touch. The pool, tennis courts, large gardenand hot tub kept the kids entertained for ages. The tour of Minterne house and free garden access were definitely highlights. Would definitely recommend!
Emma
We had an amazing stay! The location is stunning and really peaceful. Big thanks to Henry for giving us a lovely tour of the house, really appreciated it.
Emma
We stayed at this spacious place with eight bedrooms, perfect for a family gathering. The top floor has a safe kids' room with heritage toys, ideal for movie nights and popcorn - a real hit with the little ones and peace for parents! The main living areas are lovely and great for celebrations, opening onto a beautiful garden where we played croquet and hide & seek. The hot-tub was a big favourite for all ages, from 2 to 80!
Emma
This place is lovely, super comfyand the area has plenty to see and do.

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.
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY
about 8 Miles
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.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 14 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.
Loch Lomond Sealife Centre - G83 8QL
about 22 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.
Longleat Safari and Adventure Park - BA12 7NW
about 26 Miles
You may have seen this amazing attraction on the BBC1 Animal Park programme.  This is actually the first safari park outside of Africa where you can get close to the animals from the comfort of your own car. Some of the highlights include the zebras, the wallabies in wallaby wood and the sea lion escorted cruise to Gorilla Island.  And of course the magnificent lions and tigers are a must see.  This really is an animal experience with a difference and you can save money by booking your tickets online.  This attraction is open until the end of October. Check out their website to see some fantastic video podcasts of the park.
