“Little Stables is an idyllic cottage well situated to enjoy beautiful Dorset.”

The cottage itself was amply equipped and the owners in my opinion provided way more than the usual in terms of kitchen and bathroom products. Comfy beds , lovely crisp white sheets. Ample drawer and hanging space. We are walkers and enjoyed Stour Valley , Hardy Country and SW costal Path . Also visited Kingston Lacey and Stourhead House estates. Weather was gorgeous, which rounded off a lovely stay. Highly recommend.

“The owners have put in many extra touches e.”

G. a soft toy sits in the high chair and there is meat and ice cream in a honesty freezer. The farm is a lovely setting and the various animals are very friendly. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything that you could need.

“We loved our stay at Little Stables, which is part of a very attractive working farm.”

Superb location with scenic walks from the doorstep. Comfortable accommodation - two excellent, spacious bedrooms. We enjoyed the dawn chorus and all the other bucolic sights and sounds - enhanced by some great weather. Delicious cream tea on arrival - thank you Melissa and Steve for a fantastic week. Would not hesitate to book again. Paul and Jacqui.

“The Little Stables was spotlessly clean and well equipped.”

Comfortable bed and lounge area. Melissa and Steve were both very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely walks around the farm . Quite location near to Dorsets favourite places. We will definitely return.

“The cottage when we entered was spotlessly clean and our host Melissa had laid out what can only be described as the most delicious cream tea and chocolate brownies.”

Along with her husband Chris they have thought of everything that a guest may require. This cottage is equipped with comfortable beds and quality furniture. it is a working farm with country walks all around you and the bucolic sounds of horse whinnying, hens, rabbits and a variety of sheep, cows and pigs all make their own noises and contributing to the countryside feel. Do avail yourself of breakfast which is served in the farmhouse and is taken with the family who all go out of their way to make you feel welcome and ensure that you have everything that you need. We strongly recommend Little Stables as a base for your Dorset holiday.

“A great stay, wonderfully peaceful.”

The stairs were quite steep, it would be worth mentioning this in the details as people with poor mobility would find them difficult. Overall a great stay definitely would recommend it

“We spent a very enjoyable long weekend at Little Stables Cottage.”

The accommodation was comfortable and well equipped. Nestling in the heart of rural Dorset, there was a choice of country walks starting quite literally on our doorstep. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door were just a 30 minute drive away. Definitely worth a return visit.

“The Stables North farm is a very nice place to stay.”

Melissa made us feel very welcome, with a cream tea provided for our arrival, which was delicious. Melissa also provided everything you need for your stay, including tea, coffee, sugar, toiletries, towels and even dressing gowns. The location of the farm is very central to many placed of interest and also near to a big supermarket, if you should need one. There are also lots of local walks to go on and eating places near by. I would highly recommend staying at The Stables North Farm.
