The cottage smelt of dogs when we first arrived so a little off putting. Apart from that most things were nice., with good facilities. Great location though for exploring everywhere without too much driving, there is a lot to do and it was very peaceful.

Rebecca
Upon arrival at the cottage, I wanted to cry with happiness! The house, the garden, the setting - it is all perfect and comes with it's own pet sheep. It was also incredibly clean with quality towels, robes and bedding provided. We were 2 family groups with 3 children (age 4-7) between us and the house was ideal - the bathrooms and bedrooms split b etween the families perfectly and the children loved the spacious and private garden.

Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 15 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 16 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.
Bicton Park and Gardens - EX9 7BJ
about 23 Miles
This year round attraction has been described as Devon's most magnificent historic gardens.  Located in the Otter Valley area of East Devon you can enjoy a fun day out in a picturesque setting. Highlights include historic Palm house, containing some of the world’s most endangered species and Bicton Woodland Railway - which takes you on a 25 minute journey through the lovely grounds.  For children there is a miniature village with mini golf, nature trail and indoor play area.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 24 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.

This popular adventure park is full of thrills and excitement as well as having loads for younger children to take part in as well.
