Our self-catering Bungalow with disabled access is situated between the farmhouse and the riding school. There is a ramp to the double entrance doors and there are also double doors leading onto a small patio on the very edge of the riding school. The Bungalow has two double bedrooms with king size beds, a kitchen, lounge area and a shower room. In the lounge there is a long leather sofa which can be used as an extra single bed. All of our self-catering guests are welcome to use the farmhouse gardens, the summer house and the footpath leading down to the South West Coastal Path. The beach at the Fleet Saltwater Estuary is just 300 metres from the farm. Large parties can be accommodated in our self catering units and our B&B, but rarely last minute as we always have advance bookings for some of the accommodation. Early booking vital in peak periods.
This farmhouse rural retreat is a must for anyone wanting to get away from it all and relax by the sea, in our summer house, or to walk for miles along the Jurassic Coastal Path. The dramatic coastline of the “Isle” of Portland is home to some spectacular and unique wildlife, flora and fauna, whilst the Georgian seaside resort of Weymouth offers a bustling town and harbour. Weymouth & Portland are not only at the heart of the world Heritage Coast but also the venues for the sailing events of the 2012 Olympics. Whether you're looking for a stroll on the promenade, long sandy beaches, an historic harbour side or panoramic sea and landscapes, this is the area to visit, draw, paint or sketch. We cater for small Bridge Club Holidays and can accommodate 4/5 tables. Guests have access to the large garden, summer house, lake and field leading down to the sea. Our B&B guests are served free range eggs from our chicken, beautiful bantams and ducks roaming the gardens. Self-catering available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fL3z68Ap7mY

All properties have spectacular sea views - come and visit.
