Marles Farmhouse

We had an amazing time at Marles farmhouse ,it was everything we expected and more,would definitely recommend it.

Marles Farmhouse provides fantastic accommodation for up to 12 people of all ages.

It's located in lovely countryside not far from several beautiful beaches. The farmhouse is amazingly well equipped and has a bbq, table tennis table, table football, piano as well as an ev charger which proved very useful. Seb, the owner, is very helpful and accessible and the eggs from his chickens were lovely.

The accomodation was beautiful, very clean and well maintained.

We were staying for a wedding at the near by Symondsbury Estate so did not get to spend much time at the farm, which was a shame as it is so beautifull. We bumped in to Seb the owner a couple of times and he was very helpful with lots of tips for things to do and the best shops in the area. We would love to stay again.

We had a great week, the house suited our needs down to a tea, grandchildren loved the chickens and sheep, also very good location for exploring the area.

Absolutely fabulous accommodation with the incredible thought given to the equipment and fittings.

The bedrooms were comfortable with beautiful bedding. The kitchen was great to work in with every possible piece of equipment and a great social space. The games and playequipment were all the anyone could want including a piano, which was well used and in tune. The location is wonderful with plenty of walks and easy access to a pub and cider Farm. The thought and care put in by the owners is a great credit to them.

A beautiful location.

Good access to the immediate countryside and easy access to the coast. Bridport and shopping a short drive away. Fantastic Farm shop closer was excellent. 3 generations and 2 dogs enjoyed a lovely holiday in a lovely location. Owners most welcoming and informative.

Excellently equipped accommodation.

Friendly host and perfect location.

Wonderful cottage with the best sociable kitchen for big groups, containing everything you could need.

The owners were very accommodating, we had three electric vehicles with us so it was great to get those charged. I received helpful emails before we arrived asking about bed make-up and offering fresh eggs. The location is excellent for the Jurassic Coast and Chesil Beach, but also with pretty walks from the door. Underfloor heating in the kitchen kept it very snug. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

Fantastic house - clean, comfortable and spacious enough to comfortably accommodate 12.

We loved the dining room/kitchen in particular as the open plan kitchen made it easy for everyone to join in and cook Christmas lunch together, and we loved that the table was a big square rather than a long narrow table as it felt a lot more convivial! House was warm too and the fireplaces good.

A great property for a family gathering - very well equipped, spacious and comfortable, with large communal rooms and good outside space.

The farmhouse was big and spacious and the owners very helpful and friendly.

It was a great place for families to spend time and celebrate birthdays etc together. The scenery was good and the cider farm a short walk away.

We had a lovely few days staying at Marles Farmhouse, an ideal base to explore the area.

We are a mixed generation family and the ground floor bedroom and bathroom were ideal for for my elderly mum. The accommodation is very well equipped even including a breadmaker which the younger members of the family enjoyed using with great success.

This lovely farmhouse comfortably accommodated 7 adults and five small children.

Facilities were top quality and comprehensive. The children loved the chickens and animals. The weather was awful but it didn’t dampen our holiday together.

The property was well maintained and spotless Very comfortable with everything for a large family Would certainly recommend

We very much enjoyed our stay at Marles Farmhouse with our extended family group.

It provided a haven of peace and tranquility and was very comfortable and accommodating. The local pub and cider farm were very close by, and local towns of Beaminster and Bridport very interesting and a perfect source of provisions. We would definitely consider staying here again

Perfect for a family gathering.

House was beautifully equipped for a large group and all the rooms were very comfortable. Setting is charming and grandchildren enjoyed the hens, pigs and sheep.

This booking was an utter delight.

Last January we booked a property in Spain with a different company. It was supposed to be more than 9 stars. It most certainly wasn't! It spoilt our holiday. So, to book Marles Farmhouse and for the star rating to be so spot on, made our holiday. Thank you for taking so much care to get it right...both Sykes and the property owners, who were friendly and helpful.

We had a great week at Marles Farm - the house was perfect for a large group - well kitted out and in a beautiful and peaceful location.

Being able to charge the electric cars up easily, was a real bonus.

We loved everything about Marles Farmhouse.

It was comfortable, spacious, beautiful house and gardens, peaceful, and had everything we needed and more. We loved having the piano there, and the table tennis. The owner, Seb, was really friendly and helpful, especially with things like charging our car. It was the perfect place for our family stay.

Lovely cottage plenty big enough for large groups.

Nice gardens, comfy beds and good provisions. Quite a lot of instructions to read and rules to stick to, but very interesting looking at the photo books of the renovation. Dogs to be on lead at all times as other animals around, even in garden as nowhere is fully enclosed, which is totally fair but was not listed online, so was lucky I brought my long line as this might have been restrictive otherwise, doors were always open in such lovely weather. Everyone enjoyed table football and tennis and meeting the pigs and chickens. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Lovely spacious fully stocked farmhouse.

Didn’t want for anything. We were a three generation family and thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would definitely go again.

What a Fabulous property better than photos if I could give 11 out of 10 I would!

! Very comfortable 1st class finishes on all aspects well thought out just perfect will definitely return could keep on talking about it just book it!!!

Fabulous property, absolutely huge and beautifully appointed.

A lot of love has gone into this house. Seb and Katie were really friendly and welcoming and popped round on the first evening to make sure we were warm enough and to ask if we needed help with the log fire. We were a party of six ladies meeting for a catch up and we had a bedroom each and five bathrooms between us…heaven. Had a lovely day out in Bridport and West Bay which are really close. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful farmhouse , with everything you need, Seb was very friendly and helpful discussing his chickens with my Grandson George.

Would use again lovely for family gatherings.Thank you Seb and Kate

Absolutely wonderful well stocked farmhouse.

Great attention to detail by the owner. Great showers and beds , beautiful kitchen and utility room with a very useful ice machine . Fresh eggs from chickens and Seb always on hand if we had any questions . Strongly advise to arrive in daylight !

Marles Farmhouse is a beautiful place to stay.

The house had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of room for nine people and a dog, with enough bathrooms and sitting areas. We found the parking area perfect and the garden was fully enclosed and safe for our dog. A real highlight was the ten minute walk to the local pub where the landlord made us especially welcome, so we felt right at home. Plenty of things to do, Lyme Regis, Durdle Door, the beaches and pretty towns all within an acceptable drive.

Fantastic holiday house.

Perfect for our family of 12. Very well equipped. Beautiful location. Highly recommend.

Marles Farm is a great place to stay Plenty of space in the house, has two lounges which is great for giving everyone space The kitchen is huge and very well equipped, with added benefit of large utility room All bedrooms and bathrooms are well designed and equipped The house is a great blend of old and new Large garden spaces, with play equipment for children It’s is a great rural location and only 30 minutes from beautiful West Bay beach and Bridport Seb, the host is very friendly, welcoming and helpful

excellent - friendly welcome - owner onhand in the event of any problems - facilities really good.

Very thoughtful over details. thoroughly recommend it

Our visit was our 3rd to the lovely Marles farm.

It is the perfect base for seeing all aspects locally. I spoke with Seb on several occasions and he was always very approachable. There was an issue with the main fridge which I let Seb know about and 2 days later a new fridge arrived. Marles farm is somewhere that always will hold special memories for me and my family and we will more than likely return there in future

Marles Farm is the perfect place for a family holiday with lots of space for everyone.

We were particularly impressed with the kitchen providing ample amounts of crockery and utensils. Lovely outdoor spaces for the family to relax and enjoy the fresh air. The owner Seb was very helpful and friendly and made our stay perfect. I would highly recommend this beautiful accommodation.

Amazing property, beautifully done out and everything you could need, and the location was just gorgeous too!

The owners were really welcoming and helpful. We had a really enjoyable few days and all wished we were staying longer - would completely recommend!

On arrival we met Seb our host at Marles Farm- so friendly and accommodating- ensuring that everything was to our liking before leaving us to settle in.

The property is generously proportioned with everything you could need for a weeks stay in the Dorset Countryside- light and airy bedrooms and comfortable beds too. All rooms were spotlessly clean. One of the beauties of Marles Farm are the front and rear mature gardens- the rear being safely enclosed to allow our young children to play on the swings and our little dog to explore. There are two living rooms at the property- but there is only one TV with the "Games Room"- a suggestion for the hosts would be to consider another TV in the main living area to allow different ages to enjoy an evening in separate rooms if required. Another point worth making is that Marles Farm is located on a single track road with passing points- you may wish to consider how confident your driving skills are before booking. This should not however distract from what a hidden gem Marles Farm truly is! It has allow 4 generations to enjoy a summer holiday all together and we have made memories to last a lifetime- thank you!

Excellent peaceful getaway, we have now been three times and already booked next year.

Our group of 12 loved staying at Marles Farmhouse.

We found it spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed throughout. The gardens front and rear were perfect for kids playing or eating al fresco. The location is very quiet with walks from the doorstep, but only a short drive to Bridport. The owners, who live in an adjacent building, are friendly and took our children to collect eggs from their chickens, which they enjoyed.

It was a great holiday, 8 adults 4 children a baby and a dog.

We found it to be spacious and well equipped for all our needs. We would highly recommend.

Marles farmhouse was simple perfect.

We'll equipped, beautifully decorated in a stunning setting. The owner was polite, friendly and accommodating. We had a truly lovely time.

We had the most wonderful time and plan to book again.

The indoor and outdoor space was perfect and gave us everything we needed for a relaxing few days away with family. Seb was so welcoming and helpful. Thank you for a great stay.

A lovely holiday home with great facilities and layout of rooms which accommodated the needs of our group of 10 from the four year-old to the 70 year-old!

Particularly well-facilitated with five bathrooms. Kitchen very well equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. Log burner, very effective - all in all a lovely stay. Thank you Seb for your welcome.

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely cottage with its well kept garden and beautiful outlook.

The cottage was very comfortable and particularly well equipped. The owner was very friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this property.

The property is perfect for groups of our size and is more than well equipped providing every creature comfort imaginable!

Recommend 100%

Plenty of room,close to local pub and cider farm and all the facilities of the local towns such as Bridport and Lyme Regis.

The only thing we werent prepared for were the narrow lanes but it only took a couple of days to get use to them.The kids liked the farm animals and cat as well as the softplay in Bridport.

We received a warm welcome from Seb who was very helpful on many counts.

The house was perfect for our family of 7 adults and three children. It was very well equipped including toys and swings and functioned on a very efficient environmentally friendly level. Excellent.

A TV in both sitting rooms would be good - as the kids hung out in the sitting room/snug with the TV so the evenings were a bit quiet for us adults, as weather not warm enough to sit outside/have BBQ.

Perfect set up for a large family and small children.

Also very secure for dogs. The property is charming and the kitchen has everything you need for your holiday. We were made very welcome by Seb and would love to come back

Marles Farm is a great destination for a large group looked after by the ever helpful/friendly Seb who lives next door.

There is a cider farm and decent pub both within walking distance. Bridport is also walkable via an off-road route taking 60 minutes plus to walk it. I look forward to revisiting next year.

Lovely property with everything you could wish for a great stay,plenty of books,toys,games for both adults and children [ although as the weather was gorgeous we didn't stay in much].

Seb the owner was very friendly and chatty and on hand should you need any help or advice,but never intrusive.Glorious countryside all round,cider farm 200 metres up the lane and a lovely pub with beer gardens a ten minute walk.The house itself was very well equiped with very comfy beds and the best showers we've ever had in a rental property! Two gardens to enjoy,one backing onto open fields with sheep grazing. I really recommend this house for a great holiday.

Beautiful holiday cottage.

Lovely setting for a family holiday. Owner was extremely helpful and very friendly. Highly recommended

This property ranks as one of the best we have ever rented as a family.

The facilities are first class. Two seperate lounges, front and back gardens. Beautiful setting. Host very hospitable.

A perfect house for a family get together providing plenty of light, attractive bedrooms, comfortable lounges and pretty gardens as well as a very well equipped kitchen.

The owners were available when needed but did not interfere otherwise. Our grandchildren appreciated their visit to see the two pigs and enjoyed the table tennis table and the swing. The house is conveniently situated for visiting the coast as well as Bridport on market days. It was a lovely, happy break!

Excellent accommodation, with superb facilities for all age groups.

Children loved the gardens and climbing frame. Had a wonderful holiday wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Marles.

We came for a small family reunion, three generations getting together to include a birthday celebration, and the setting was perfect.

We enjoyed chilling out in the house as much as our day trips to the beach (fun for the grandchildren even at this time of year). See & Katie were perfect hosts, available, helpful but unobtrusive, and the seclusion of the farm was very relaxing.

Brilliant we loved it - perfect for a big gathering.

Would go again definitely.

Excellent cottage, well equipped and very comfortable.

A real home from home. Seb (the owner) was really helpful, and you felt as if nothing was too much trouble for him to make your stay comfortable. The cottage is remote but there are a couple of good pubs/shops a short drive away. However, the remoteness did mean peace and quiet and a wonderful opportunity for star gazing. Would defiantly book the cottage again.

We loved our stay so much!

The cottage was absolutely perfect. It’s a beautiful location, it was so clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Seb was friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We were really impressed with Marles Farmhouse.

It's extremely well equipped and the space and layout worked really well for us. It's a bit hairy coming down the lane to the house and it would have been hard to find if it hadn't been for the excellent instructions we were sent. Fantastic location, with great walks from the front door and easy access to the coast. We were all of the opinion we'd like to stay here again!

Seb was incredibly welcoming and we had a wonderful stay.

The house is very well provisioned and had lots of space for our party of 12. We enjoyed saying hi to the chickens and we also spotted some local wildlife (deer and toads) in the garden. Beautiful surroundings, beautiful house and perfect for our holiday. Thank you!

A lovely house for our large group of 7 adults and 3 children.

We had an enjoyable time. The games facilities are great. The kitchen is really well equipped for cooking, and the dining area works well. The house is in a lovely quiet, rural location. However, I think the downstairs bedroom is really only suitable for teenagers rather than big adults - it is a small room and the beds were low and not comfy for older adults - it is too far away from parents for young children but teenagers would enjoy it. The upstairs bedrooms are comfortable and spacious with excellent bathroom facilities for a big group.

Large, beautiful farmhouse so well equipped that it was like home from home.

Owners very friendly, accommodating and always available.

Lovely place to stay in such a quiet setting.

Jez was very welcoming and helpful. The weather wasn't great but the house made it much easier to deal with :)

Great home for our family weekend.

Ten adults, one teenager a three year old and a two month old baby.. Very well equipped kitchen. Plenty of space inside and outside..Toys and games for all. Comfy beds, good bathrooms.. Enjoyed the garden, watched the sheep grazing and chickens provided some eggs.. Would love to make a return visit.

We needed a large property to accommodate a much delayed family holiday for 7 adults and four young children.

. The property met all our requirements and expectations. It is in a beautiful and exceptionally quiet location but within easy travelling distance to the coast. It is exceptionally well equipped. The owner, who lives next door was friendly, helpful and happy to include the children in the feeding of sheep and hens. Plenty of space both within the property and also outside for the numbers accommodated. Perfect for the family holiday. Faultless!

Great property, with great facilities and plenty of room for a big group without getting on top of each other.

Would recommend it to friends. A house with something for all ages.

We have never been to a property where there were so many basic items provided.

Plenty of tea bags, sugar, coffee, dish washer tablets, washing up liquid. We only had to top up some items towards the end of our week's stay which was good considering there were 10 adults and four small children. The property is large enough that at no time did we feel crowded with so many people and the table in the kitchen is large enough for everyone to sit comfortably. Would definitely return

The house was beautiful, and a great sense of comfort about the place.

The kids loved the grounds and the games and toys cupboard was really useful on the one rainy day we had.

Perfect property for a multi generational family.

Had a fab break. Owners very friendly will deffo look to book again

Perfect cottage - very well equipped in a beautiful peaceful location - worked well for a family get together - strongly recommend

The weather was not great so kids could not enjoy the garden as much.

Indoors there was however a lot of living space for all 11 of us. The Kitchen is fully equipped, they cater for all including providing spices and oils. The owner is very pleasant and happy to help as needed otherwise does not intrude. We will certainly go again, as we loved the house.

The farmhouse was large, comfortable and clean.

Absolutely everything you could wish for in the lovely big kitchen/diner, ( and we are a group who cook) the two sitting rooms also large enough to accommodate 9 of us comfortably, very cosy and warm. Bedrooms and bathrooms all perfect. The owners were friendly and helpful but not intrusive. The surrounding area was gorgeous and we were very lucky to have a sunny week. Also could do great walks straight from the house. Would come again and would highly recommend it.

Lovely holiday enjoyed by 4 generations of family.

Very well equipped, peaceful surroundings and easy access to beaches etc

Owners extremely helpful and pleasant.

Martes farmhouse was voted by the family (3 generations) as the best rented property we have stayed in.

Could not fault the way it was equipped- plenty of everything & a really welcoming host, Seb, who greeted us & our 4 year old grandchild & immediately introduced her to the chickens & pigs! As we were very fortunate with the weather, we were in the front or back garden most of the time we were not out & about & used the BBQ most nights. Have already recommended it to several friends, which I believe says it all.

A great week away in the rural setting of Marles Farm was just what the 4 generations of my family were hoping for and that is exactly what we got - a great week of family fun, in a beautiful setting and in a well-equipped home from home.

Many thanks to our wonderful hosts. Would we return? Yes in a heart beat.

Marles Farm is absolutely fabulous.

Was so clean and comfortable and the owners are very friendly. Set in beautiful countryside. We will book again.

We had a brilliant time and absolutely loved the kitchen.

The kids loved every minute in the garden. Can’t wait to book our next holiday here. Also very welcoming owners.

The whole group were impressed with the house and facilities.

The only improvement we could suggest Is that the oven was cleaner. The caretaker was extremely friendly and helpful. The house was fully equipped and plenty of facilities. Location was very good and close to many points of interest. We would highly recommend this property.

Marles Farmhouse was incredible!

So spacious and it has everything imaginable that you need for a weeks holiday! Would 100% recommend!

We had a great time; the house was immaculate and very roomy and comfortable.

The garden was lovely and the whole property was situated in lovely countryside. We would have enjoyed a more dedicated games perhaps with a pool table and well as the table tennis. For a large party this would have been an added attraction.

The farmhouse was really lovely and well equipped.

Plenty of space for everyone and the wood burning stoves were fantastic. It would be useful to have a poker and glove to use with the fires. We really enjoyed our stay.

I have nothing but praise for Marles Farmhouse.

An extremely nice holiday home, in a lovely area and with all the facilities and contents one could wish for. Very nice owners too. Our family had a lovely stay. I have more reservations about the Sykes experience. You do not make dealing with you easy. Firstly, when invited to email or call the Sykes person who is responsible for cleaning and organising Marles Farmhouse to order a cot and high chair, my email was ignored. I had to email twice before I got a reply. Secondly, your automated phone system is very clunky and requires the caller to listen to the entirety of several lists of options, and when one has finally been able to press the right number to choose an option you simply go into a holding queue with vile distorted music and no sense of how long the queueing will last. The person I finally spoke to about the item that had been left behind needed my authority as booker to speak to the person (my sister in law) who had called you about the item she had left at the cottage. I would have thought that a call from someone who had clearly stayed at the cottage, when the item had been found, would have been sufficient for your to be able to deal with my sister in law directly without wasting my time with your automated phone system!

AMAZING farmhouse - would 100% recommend.

Stayed at Marles Farmhouse with 3 families (21-63) + 2 dogs, and we all loved the place. It was fantastically well equipped with everything you would need for a weekend away. The owners were lovely so helpful when we needed them - nothing seemed like to much trouble. The main kitchen / diner was perfectly sociable for what we wanted. I'm sure we will be returning in the future!!

Wow, this is property was everything we needed and more!

Absolutely beautiful house, the keenest were nothing short of brilliant with us! Really a home from home, perfect for kids. Highly recommend

A superb holiday cottage, perfect for a large multi-family gathering.

A wonderful renovation of an old farmhouse that is fully equipped with absolutely everything you could think of needing.

We were grateful for the enclosed back garden which was safe for young children and the toys and games in the cottage which the children enjoyed playing with (they love new toys).

Also being able to visit the animals the owner kept close by was another favourite for the children. As adults the facilities were great. A lovely cottage we enjoyed stopping in.

Beautiful setting, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped.

Owners were discrete and yet very friendly when we met. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this farmhouse to anyone wanting a peaceful but accessible holiday house.

Lovely holiday home, all we needed, in a beautiful rural setting but only a short distance from the pretty town of Bridport and the coast.

We loved it and hope to return.

Marles farm was perfect for our family of 6 adults and two boys aged 2 and 4 years.

The house was very well equipped more home from home than a holiday let. The setting was so peaceful, and very safe for the children to run both indoors and outdoors. The boys and adults always looked forward to coming back after a day out. It was extremely relaxing. We would highly recommend this accommodation.

Beautiful area & well maintained, spacious & peaceful farmhouse.

The kitchen was to die for & was the heart of the house, perfect for a large family gathering. All in all, a wonderful experience!

A wonderful retreat in Dorset is what Marles Farmhouse is 100% a beautiful refurbished farmhouse with high quality facilities a beautifully well kept garden lovely spacious bedrooms accommodate a luxury stay as with the fantastic kitchen with its very luxurious range for cooking and ample space for meal times for the family/friends to gather on the very large dining table, the front room is lovely to relax in to watch a little tv/film or listen to some late night music on the very comfortable sofas the quiet room as we found on the opposite side of the Farmhouse is perfect for reading a book or just taking some tea and gentle conversation the bathroom on suite facilities are just perfect and the games room in the barn is a nice place to play some table tennis if you fancy.

The utility room is well equipped with a fantastic fridge washing machine and tumble dryer along with a sink their is ample parking for a large gathering of families etc and the Farmhouse is well stocked with information about the history and the progression from the owners who have turned this place into a little heaven in Dorset.

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed.

The caretaker went above and beyond our expectations as our Sainsbury’s delivery arrived before we did, she very kindly put all our food away. It was also very lovely to meet the owner and here all about the house’s history.

Beautiful property with good facilities which was ideal for large family get together.

Lovely settling with local walks, pub within easy walk and beach a short drive away.

Really lovely Holiday home.

Very well equipped and thought out. Ideal for a big family gathering.

Great facilities for 12.

Perfect location to explore the varied coastline. Kitchen, utility and two lounges worked well. Beds a little hard. Mattress toppers would be perfect.

One J cloth and 3 t-towels are not sufficient.

My family really did feel this was the perfect getaway and it delivered on location, we really loved seeing the wildlife and this was a highlight of our time there - even the field mouse in the kitchen was very cute!

!! We relaxed in the garden a lot of the time whilst there and enjoyed some wonderful and quality family time which was the aim of staying here. We were a little shocked when the farmer next door appeared in our garden to get water practically on a daily basis from the tap under the utility room window, but we got to know and expect him over our time there. The place was clean and had everything you could wish for to enjoy a home from home environment. We did notice there seemed to be a lack of towels in the house on our arrival, and then spotted that the cleaner had forgotten to empty a laundry basket full of dirty towels in one of the bathrooms that we had not used (on our check out day!!!!), this was not an issue for us we simply washed the few we had been provided with. Overall we would come back to Marles Farmhouse and we would recommend to our friends. Thank you.

Spacious well planned accommodation in a beautiful peaceful area.

Plenty of interesting places to visit.

Very friendly and helpful owners.

We enjoyed a lovely week at Marles Farmhouse. Perfect house, garden, land for a family holiday. Total silent area. Hope to come back som time.

Apart from problems with water from well over first couple of days, the owners did make sure it was fixed quickly and efficiently, this farmhouse is amazing, very well equipped with nice personal touches.

Would recommend for large groups. Brilliant week for all of us.

Our second visit to Marles Farmhouse and we love the house and area, weather was wonderful during our week and highly recommend The Hive Beach Cafe at Burton Bradstock & its sister cafe The Watch House Cafe at West Bay, great seafood.

Only a small bottle recycling container available for the size of the property, nearest glass recycling is near West Bay, perhaps we drink too much!!!
