Owl about!

Thanks to Judy and her friend Rowena (who took the reins when the family were on holiday) for making us feel at home. Lovely site. The shower and toilet facilities were worth the £2.00 per night per van. Regular buses to Dorchester and Weymouth can be caught at the end of the lane 2 mins walk away. We were lucky to stay when the owlets were near to leaving the nest as the adults were feeding them through the day yes in the day beautiful birds. Will have to return as we never got round to walking up Maiden Hill Fort.

Lovely Site

A lovely little hamlet tucked under Maiden Castle: this is one of the nicest sites we have been to. There is a bus stop a 5 minute walk away with regular busses to Dorchester or Weymouth: the Dorchester Tesco being pretty much the next stop heading north. 300 yards down a quiet lane there is a foot path up to Maiden Castle and the circular walk around the ramparts will take you about an hour and gives you a spectacular view of this part of South Dorset. The wet room, suitable for the disabled, and w.c are excellent and kept beautifully clean. The facilities are shared with the nearby small Dick's Plot site so you may have to be prepared to queue. We will be back.

Nice CL in good location.

Our second visit to this CL. We were on the main CL which is close to the barn where there is a resident Barn Owl. It was nice to see the owl flying at Dusk. We used our own facilities but for those who need it there is a loo and shower available for £2 per couple per day. The CL area is fairly level and well kept. Area adjacent to the CL is natural countryside which is ideal for the wildlife. We took the bus to Weymouth and Dorchester, and the Jurasic Coaster buses can be used to get to many places of interest from both Locations. Owner called late each afternoon when there were new arrivals.

Great location

A lovely CL with good access to beautiful walking, or the seaside town of Weymouth and quaint town of Dorchester. Always enjoy watching the resident barn owl! Excellent wet shower room for an extra £2 a night. Some traffic noise but not too invasive. Easy access and level pitches.

Nice little site

Stayed for 4 nights in May. Good location for easy access to local area attractions. Ideal base for a cycling holiday. Easy access to site. Level pitches. Washroom/showers/WC all new and kept very tidy. Would recommend - we intend to return.

Great central location for sight seeing

The site is on a working farm about 10 minutes from Dorchester. It is in a good position for sight seeing - we went as far as Sidmouth in Devon, Bournmouth and the New Forest. There is a pub about 10 minutes drive away in another village. As well as providing electric, the site also provided a television aerial, which was good as we couldn't get anything using our own aerial. The only negative was that we stayed when it was harvesting time, so the farm tractors were working late into the evening, and early in the morning which was quite noisy and dusty. Other than this the site is nice and quiet.

A hidden gem

Just returned from 3 idyllic days away on this beautiful, peaceful, tucked-away site and we are already planning when we can come back! We have two well-behaved dogs who like the freedom of being off-lead around the site, which was very much appreciated and "Dick's Plot" was absolutely perfect for us. The wet room shower (which we didn't use in the end) with 2 loos is tastefully fitted and very clean and an easy to use security lock makes it accessible at all times of the day/night. 5 mins away by car from Tesco supermarket on the edge of Dorchester is very handy. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger "I'll be back" ??

Nice site

Stayed here for a week site flat grass cut short. Extra £2.00 a night for the use of showere and toilet was a bit steep especially when the next site I stayed on was only £12 all inclusive with shower and toilet. I know it was new but being a bit greedy to make the momey back

Second stay at this CL

We have just returned home from a weeks stay at this site. It is only a short distance from the Dorchester to Weymouth road, so easy to tow to. This road is also a major bus route, so during both our stays a number of the visitors have used the buses to get all around the local area rather than trying to park. The site is flat, well drained and regularly mowed, but is still surrounded by wildlife. This working farm site is just a short walk from Maiden Castle, Europe's largest Iron Age hill fort, our dogs loved their walks up there but you do need to be aware that sheep are left to graze. The owners are really helpful and friendly.
