Lovely relaxing quiet stay, everything you need is provided. Clean, comfortable accommodation and hot tub is lovely.

Excellent property. Comfortable, spacious and clean. It has lovely views across the countryside and the outside area is a great place to sit on a warm evening. With plenty of things to see and do, it makes an ideal base. Nick went the extra mile to accommodate me and my partner, who has limited mobility. By installing some ramps, she had no problem s accessing Stags Retreat. I would certainly recommend staying. Lois and Steve.

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

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.

Longleat Safari and Adventure Park - BA12 7NW

about 21 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.

Monkey World - BH20 6HH

about 23 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.

Family friendly activities include Raft Building and Nature Walks and environmental bush craft sessions.
