Really spacious, super clean and well-equipped kitchen. Only downside was the limited number of dogs allowed, which was a bit frustrating.
James
We really enjoyed our stay! The place was spotless and comfy, plus the farm walks were lovely. Perfect spot for heading into Weymouth. Definitely recommend giving it a go!
Emily
We loved our stay at Wild Meadows! The location is perfect for exploring Weymouth and the Jurassic coast - super handy. The house had everything we neededand the little touches like a welcome note, fizz, cakesand biscuits for our dog were really thoughtful. The hot tub was massive and a daily favourite, even when it rained since it’s undercover. Rob and Lin were fantastic hosts - always nearby if we needed anything but never intrusive. We’re already planning our next trip back. Definitely recommend!

We had a fantastic time at this lovely cottage! The outside space is perfect, especially for our dog, thanks to the fully enclosed garden. It’s super close to Weymouth seafront, so we didn’t have far to go. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. The hot tub was a real treat after busy days exploring. The owners were friendly but left us to enjoy our break. Can’t wait to return again soon!

We spent a week here in June and honestly, it exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, with a welcoming prosecco, fresh flowersand cakes, it felt special. The interior is spacious and furnished with high-quality bits, making it super comfy. The beds and en-suites in both rooms were definitely a highlight. We loved relaxing in the secluded garden after exploring Dorsetand the hot tub was a real treat. The orchard at the back is a lovely touch from the owners - we’d happily come back!

We had an amazing stay! Everything we could possibly need was there, clearly showing the owners put a lot of thought into it. We loved seeing the cows and ducks on the R. Wey, makes it special to be on a working farm. The cottage was cosy and warm, with comfy beds and safe showers. Evenings spent watching films with popcorn and a roaring log fire were perfect. Day trips to Bowleaze Cove, West Bayand Dorchester were lovely. Marlboro chip shop and the Lobster Pot at Portland Bill serve the best crab sandwiches. Please support the Ukrainian cafe!

If you're after a cosy getaway, this place ticks all the boxes. The cottage was spotless and had a super cute arrival pack.

Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU

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 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 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.
