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.

Fantastic site, quiet but near amenities
The Manor House
What a great find this site was. Judy visited us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. Its quiet location but near amenities - Dorchester and Weymouth are a short drive away. Local pubs are great and its ideal for dog walking being close to Maiden Castle. Its easy to find and has a flat area with a toilet and shower.
Will return definitely
Pleasant and quiet stay.
The Manor House
We needed somewhere to stay when meeting friends for lunch in Osmington. We wanted somewhere with hard standing as the ground has been so wet recently. Electric hook-up was a must too. We found the site easily and chose pitch B, as we were given the choice. The showers and toilet were spotless, there was a well stocked information hut, and despite the main road being nearby, the site was quiet!
It is an ideal location for bird watchers and others who enjoy the countryside. Our hosts (we only spoke to Judy) were interesting and helpful, with lots of local knowledge. Well worth a visit!

First Class site
The Manor House
Lovely appointed site with all facilities. Wifi was full strength, lovely shower and WC, even TV cable added for good measure. Rainy weather at this time of year but the site owner ensured that we did not have any issues with wet grass. All in all a lovely site in a lovely part of Dorset, plenty to see in Dorchester, Weymouth and Yeovil.
Handy location
The Manor House
Nice little site with easy access to Dorchester by car, bus or walking. Clean toilets and showers. EHU included. Far enough from road for a peaceful night. Friendly welcome. After a very wet winter and spring part of field was very boggy but the slot we were given was dry enough to take our small campervan.
one night get away
The Manor House
