Why stay here ...
Charles and Judy Norman welcome visitors to their CL at Winterborne Monkton set in the heart of a Victorian hamlet consisting of a working farm, cottages and a church. The site is close to the A354 with good access along a lane with passing places. Motorhomes have the option of using two hard standing areas over the winter. The quarter acre plot is level and well maintained with lawned pitches, electric hook ups, free high speed wi-fi and TV leads. Excellent shower and toilet facilities, with disabled access, are situated in a stone building opposite the site entrance. A wooden chalet contains essential information for new visitors. Bus stops for regular services to Weymouth/Dorchester are an easy 10 minute walk from the village, and our location allows good accessibility to all parts of Dorset.
Unspoilt farmland extends beyond the site, along the South Winterborne valley and up to the ramparts of Maiden Castle. This huge and ancient monument can be reached on foot from the village and is especially popular for its circular walks and panoramic views. Nature lovers will find a good variety of wildlife around the site (an RSPB survey found 39 species of birds on the farm).
In Winterborne Monkton, visitors can combine the convenience of being close to Dorchester, the historic county town, with the experience of staying in a rural location of outstanding natural beauty.

Excellent working farm site
The Manor House
This is a special little site, on a working farm but lovely green site with some hard standing, a great welcome but not intrusive at all, very easy access and the little lane approach is not a problem at all, we did not have any problems, we will use again
Excellent
Good overnight stop
The Manor House
The site was easy to find and access. The owner came round in the morning to check everything was OK. I was inky staying one night before moving on. Only advise I would say is motorhome users need a sign on a pitch to say in use while they are out as we pulled up and pitched and found out a moterhome user was on the pitch and came across not happy as we had pitched there. We thought the lead was an extension as the electric box for the pitch was afar. I would use again though
An amazing little site
The Manor House
We had a great stay at the Manor House. The site and facilities are really well appointed. The toilet and shower facilities are excellent. The info hut is fantastic addition.
The site is ideally located, only a short distance from Dorchester and Weymouth, with a bus stop a few minutes walk away.
One slight observation is that the approach road would benefit from some maintenance. I know it's a working farm, but a few tonnes Type 1 would fill in the craters and improve the over-all look and feel on approach to the site.
Judy makes regular visits to the site throughout the day to check that everything is okay and chat to visitors.
The Manor House is a really great location and we will definitely be coming back to stay again.
One night stand
The Manor House
Found the site very easily. The owner came round and was friendly and helpful. Very quiet. Toilet and shower block was immaculate. First overnight as a campervan owner so pleased we had hard standing, ehu and toilet/shower.
Lovely small, peaceful site
The Manor House
We stayed for three nights. Good shower and toilet plus additional loo. Bus stops just five minutes walk up the road with a bus every 20 minutes. So Dorchester and Weymouth both very accessible. My wife had no problem with the wifi, but I couldn't seem to login. Good power supply and an ariel cable for reasonable TV reception. It's a small hamlet with no immediate shop, pub, etc. Lovely peaceful location. Would return.
