Description
In beautiful countryside bordering Devon and Somerset, these charming courtyard cottages are set within the grounds of an elegant Georgian farmhouse (previously part of neighbouring Forde Abbey estate). The cottages are cosy and well appointed and share 8 acres of lovely grounds encompassing meadows, orchard, a bubbling stream and pond (unfenced, so toddlers beware!). Chesil Beach is a great favourite for beach casting. Bere Farm is home to a handful of wild animals and also attracts abundant wildlife such as barn owls and kingfishers.
The locality has a wonderful array of visitor attractions and places of interest – Abbotsbury Swannery is within easy driving distance as are Montacute House and Barrington Court (both NT). The West Dorset Heritage (Jurassic) Coast lies 10 miles away, offering superb walking with breathtaking views as well as opportunities for fossil hunting. Coastal towns and villages invite exploration – pretty Lyme Regis with its famous Cobb, Charmouth, Chiddeock, Eype and Bridport with its lively street market. And in nearby Devon, Branscombe, Beer and Sidmouth’s Regency promenade are well worth a visit.
Local produce can be sourced at great farm shops and farmers’ markets and there are many fine pubs and restaurants to choose from – the establishments of celebrity chefs Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Mark Hix, Mat Follas and Phil Vickery are particularly popular. Shops and pubs 0.25 miles.

Reviews
I would happily recommend a stay on Bere Farm. This was my 3rd visit. If you are looking for a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings, with many walks, very friendly and helpful owners, great animals and children, then this is the place for you. Excellent value for money and not far from many good day trips like Lyme Regis and Cricket St Thomas.

With a wide and varied selection of cottages and holiday lets in Dorset Go2 offers you the ideal way to make the most of your break in this beautiful and largely unspoilt county, where there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site, with dramatic coves and stunning cliffs, topped by the South West Coast Path, which offers some wonderful views. Here you’ll find characterful seaside towns like Swanage and Lyme Regis as well as the wide sweep of Weymouth Beach. If you’re looking for somewhere more lively, then Bournemouth won’t disappoint. This is one of Britain’s most popular resorts and has attractions and entertainments in abundance. Nearby Poole is quieter, but still has much to offer. Try and make the trip to Brownsea Island, a fabulous nature reserve here. Inland on your holiday in Dorset you can enjoy the rolling hills that are so characteristic of the county and explore what has become known as “Thomas Hardy Country”.
The county town of Dorchester, with its High Street lined with 17th and 18th Century houses, is little changed from Hardy’s day, while the pretty town of Shaftesbury has been used as a location in countless films set in Olde England.
