We are happy for any visitors to watch the milking in the afternoons. It is a fasinating process to watch.

Summary: Our family so enjoyed our stay in Dorset - beautiful walks and views, excellent hosts and wonderful proximity to all of the beauties of the surrounding area. We are so looking forward to returning!

Summary: We stayed at one of four lovely, spacious and well equipped villas in the heart of the Dorset countryside. The views are beautiful and the only noise is that of a working farm which we found very comforting. The villa was very roomy with comfortable beds and the en-suite bathrooms to each of the three bedrooms was a hit with our family. Chris (the host) was very helpful and looked after all our needs. The kitchen was very well equipped and we were able to cook very large meals with ease. The lounge had comfortable, leather sofas and theall important TV worked well. If anyone is looking for a restful, rural holiday you could not do better.

Summary: We as a family had a wonderful 7 days at Stour cross farm the accomodation was excellent and Christina /trim was always very helpful even allowing my grandchildren to bottle feed a new born calf! The countryside was beautiful with lots of nice pubs serving lovely food!

Summary: Had a great time here. Host was lovely and helpful, games room a nice bonus, seeing new born calves also a bonus. Location a bit away from things but not a real problem as that was the idea. Overall a great stay in a comfortable property.

Summary: We all really enjoyed our stay in Hardy cottage 15/8/20 - 22/8/20. Cottage had all amenities and instructions on how to use them. Beds were very comfortable and clean and all showers in en suites worked very well with constant hot water. Beautiful location and we enjoyed our first experience of staying on a working farm. We was lucky enough to witness lots of cows calving. Christina was very obliging and contact with her throughout our stay was very good. Would highly recommend staying here for location, amenities and although very rural, is only a drive away from many attractions. Would love to come back and stay here

Summary: We had a fantastic time in the Hardy cottage. They kids loved the playroom, and we saw a calf being born in the field behind us which amazed them (and they got to hand-feed the calves as well). Lovely hosting from Christina, and an amazing place to stay.

Summary: We had such a lovely stay here Large comfortable and well equipped cabins with good disabled access An excellent games room and my daughter loved bottle feeding the calves. The best thing about deepest dorset is Christina herself who is a friendly and accessible host who is there without intruding in any way. She always had time to talk to us and provided welcoming touches ofor our children. We wish her and her family well and our thanks

Summary: We stayed in the Hardy chalet for a week while attending the Chalke Valley History Festival. It was an excellent base - clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Really appreciated having an ensuite for each bedroom. Lots of good pubs in the area, and plentiful provisions at the Udder farmshop nearby. Flies might have been a problem if we'd wanted to have the windows open, but it wasn't hot, so we didn't.
