“Nice cottage well equipped.”

One bathroom not enough for five people. Tv remote doesn’t work properly. Easy access to town although not many places for evening meals, and nothing in the town centre.

- Mrs Mills, June 2019
“The cottage was lovely and very spacious.”

We had a very nice time. The only thing I would say is that the double bed even though was very comfortable it was a bit small for us but other than that an amazing cottage. Would 100% reccomend it.

- Mrs Taylor, May 2019
“This is our second time using Dream Cottages for holiday home booking in Dorset and again, it was a great experience.”

The Creamery is a beautiful & newly renovated holiday home within walking distance to all the main spots of interest in Dorchester. Loved the design of the house with the sunny & spacious living area at the top of the house and the cozy bedrooms at the bottom. We would definitely stay again. Our only comment is that it would have been more convenient if recycling was offered as it was inconvenient to have to take it elsewhere especially since the neighbours had their recycling picked up.

- Ms Smeeton, May 2019

The property

Located on an old dairy, The Creamery is within strolling distance of the centre of the historic market town, Dorchester.

Sleeping up to five people in three bedrooms, the property is a lovely holiday getaway with sunny garden area to enjoy with all family. The property is a luxury conversion of what was once a Tinsmith's workshop; the original solid wooden beams still giving delightful character to the property.

It is part of a group of converted cottages, flats and houses on the same site at Fordington Dairy, all converted in a complementary fashion and enabling a real village feel.

The original buildings were connected to the Fordington House estate and are believed to date from the 18th century. The interior combines characterful vaulted, beamed ceilings with contemporary decor and stylish furnishings.

The bright and spacious open plan lounge, kitchen and diner offers a great space for congregating and spending time together, following days spent exploring and enjoying the delights of Dorchester, the surrounding countryside and nearby Jurassic coast.

The property comprises three comfortable bedrooms, including a generously sized double room, a single room and a third bedroom offering the option of either a super king-size double, or a twin room, depending on the requirements of your party. Dorchester offers a traditional high street with a large selection of well-known shops and complemented by lanes accommodating charming boutique shops and independent retailers, while the vibrant Brewery Square offers an expansive choice of cafes, restaurants, shops and entertainment.

With several museums located in the town, why not soak up some culture followed by a stroll through the pretty Borough Garden, or The Duchy of Cornwall's Poundbury.

On the outskirts of Dorchester, Maumbury Rings, a grassed Roman amphitheatre is a fantastic spot for a picnic and it also plays host to various events, including live music and theatre, during the summer months.

The Iron Age hill fort of Maiden Castle is just over a mile away from the centre of Dorchester and offers visitors some stunning views, and an opportunity to explore what is reputed to be the largest hill fort of its kind in Europe.

Around 10 miles away is the coast at Weymouth, which boasts a long and sandy award-winning beach along with traditional beach entertainments such as donkey rides and Punch and Judy shows.

The Creamery is a wonderful property to enjoy Dorchester and surrounding countryside for families or small group of friends.
