We have just spent three nights at this lovely CL and recommend it. The site is level and fairly spacious with an information chalet, where we found useful local information. The electric works well, the water has good pressure and the cassette area is clean and tidy. The access is easy from the Dorchester to Weymouth road and the bus stop is within a five or six minute walk. We caught the bus to Weymouth and had a lovely day there. We will definitely be back, as we like Dorset very much.
Great 4 night Stay
We had a very enjoyable few day stay, will defiantly come back again.

Wedding stay
We had a lovely weekend at this site. Arrived on the Friday and had a lovely rest before going to Weymouth for a couple of hours.
Sat was all taken on the wedding got home about 11 lovely and peaceful.
Site is easy to find and get to and the host met us on the Sat morning to check we were ok
Although it is a working farm it wasn't at all noisy.
Great stay.
Quiet but wet stay
We like Dorset and have camped in many sites in the area. This is our first time here.
The site was quiet, which we like, but the weather was not on our side this time, never mind that's how it goes.
We found it easy to get into and out of the site every thing was thereon site that we needed. It was nice watching the swifts and swallows flying around and the dawn choras was noisy, as expected, but relaxing.
I only have one comment to make that is that the tv arial lead needs upgrading, as we had no reception, other wise we had a good tome there.
will come back either later this year or next.
Very relaxing stay
We had a lovely time on this relaxing, comfortable site in a lovely location in rural Dorset on a working farm. There were good amenities ( shower etc) and a very friendly welcome from Judith. There is plenty to do nearby, whatever the weather, and we would certainly consider returning for a future visit
The best CL we've found
We spend 4 nights here at the end of June. The site is well situated, facilities are well organised and clean and tidy, There are regular bus services to Dorchester and Weymouth a 10 minute stroll away, and the Tesco in Dorchester has a big enough car park to take a modest motorhome. Best of all, you could walk almost straight from the site onto Maiden Castle, the biggest earthwork in England.
Lovely small site
Well kept, small cl site on a working farm. Owner was lovely and helpful. Facilities immaculate. Small hut/shed with lots of local information. Would recommend to all or maybe I should have kept a secret 😂. Thanks Judy for a lovely peaceful stay 😊
A lovely little site with lots to do close by
We stayed at The Manor House whilst our grandson was Karting at Clay Pigeon and added a few days holiday either side of the weekend. The location was ideal for our needs about 20 minutes from the track but close to so many places of interest. Booking and payment was easy through their website and communication was excellent giving all the information we needed by both text and email as our stay approached. With the exception of a very short stretch of single track with passing places the access is via main roads. The road to Weymouth is busy so you might have to wait a few minutes to turn off for the site but there’s a filter lane to wait in and it’s well signed. The site is not huge but grass pitches are a good size and have a tv aerial and EHU per pitch - drinking water and waste disposal are nearby. There is a clean toilet and shower available too which is handy. We visited Fleet Air Arm Museum, Montecute House, Athelhampton House, Hardy’s Cottage, the gardens at Kingston Maurward and Poole. We also spent a lovely evening at Weymouth which is only a few miles away and walked from site up to Maidens Castle (which made us puff) another evening. If in the area again we’d happily return. Thank you both.

A beautiful site, unspoilt and tranquil.
We have just returned from a week at The Manor House CL and once again look forward to returning. The site is level, clean and peaceful. Guests who book in appear to be content to enjoy the nature and surroundings, when they return after visiting the many local attractions. We visit family in the area and the CL site provides a great base on which to do so. The shower block is clean and modern, with plenty of hot water and a brilliant adjustable shower and shower seat.
From the site you can see Maiden Castle and there are lots of opportunities to walk and experience the Dorset countryside.
Judy works very hard to maintain a high standard on the site and can regularly be seen mowing the grass/checking facilities - should you require any advice.
Our favourite CL site 👍
