Why stay here ...
My CL site is in a secluded field close to farm buildings and my farmhouse nearby.
The working family farm is part of the Cranborne Chase in an area containing many Iron Age earthworks and forms part of an AONB.
There are many miles of Bridleways and Footpaths which can be accessed directly from the site, making it particularly suitable for walking and cross-country cycling.
Some bridleways rise to 385ft and offer superb views over the Cranborne Chase and North Dorset.
The farm has won several awards for its projects creating habitats for wild life and botanical species, which can frequently be seen in their natural environment.
The site offers each pitch with a hard standing and lawn area, electric hook-up (on £1 or £2 coin meter), Grey waste outlet, shared water point and Wi-Fi.
Well behaved children and dogs are welcome.
Private visits can sometimes be arranged to a local museum which contains many ancient artifacts from the local area.
Places of interest within a 20 mile radius include Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, The New Forest, Isle of Purbeck and Poole Harbour.
The world famous Great Dorset Steam Fair which is held at the end of August/early September is only 4 miles away.
Short Breaks: 4 nights 12 noon Monday-12 noon Friday: £42.00
Grey Waste - some shared water points, enabling a supply by tap or pitch occupiers own hose.

Lovely well equipped site, but noise from farm buildings
We stayed here for 2 nights whilst touring in our motorhome, to walk on Cranborne Chase. We could not fault the pitch and the facilities, as per previous reviews, and our first night was peaceful and quiet, as expected. However, the following morning a continuous industrial noise started from... Show more

Peace and Quiet Achieved.
Little gem of a site set in a rural and very historical area. A walk down a very quiet road brings you to the next village with an excellent pub for food and drink. You can tread where Roman's went before on the preserved Roman road. Very friendly and helpful owner who... Show more

A quiet retreat
The site is located in a quiet area in farmland on the edge of the village of Gussage St Michael. It had all the facilities we required, waste, recycling and water. We loved our two night stay, quietly watching the birds flying around. There was a bridleway right next to... Show more

Beautiful stop over to South West.
I've chosen the worst weekend to start my south west tour with severe weather warnings and gale force winds but I chose a great site to stop over. Ann was helpful in suggesting a more sheltered pitch and where to walk. I found an old Roman road and fantastic bridleways... Show more

We decided at the last minute to have a one night escape and contacted Ann by email late on Friday about availability for Saturday. She replied promptly early on Saturday and as soon as my husband got home from work we were off. The site is only about 30mins away... Show more

A quiet CL with no traffic noise and good Wi-Fi included in the price. Mobile phone and TV reception were also good. The CL is a fenced off corner of an arable field which it overlooks with a communal strip of grass along its front. Farm buildings... Show more
