“The Irish family have been based at Fordscroft farm since 1955. Over the last 19 years, Andrew has been developing an award winning hooky experience specifically for couples in beautifully landscaped grounds, with extensive facilities.”

“Drinking fizz as the sun sets; everything gets bathed in a beautiful golden glow.”
We love
Starting the day with hot & cold therapy (sauna and cold bucket shower), before a slow breakfast on the deck.

Adults only. The bed is a double with one side against the wall. There are other rentals on the farm but you’re totally private. Sorry, no pets.
Surrounds.
- Pick up field-fresh veggies and local meat & fish at The Trading Post Farm Shop. Or have lunch in a vintage train at Pip’s Railway Carriage alongside.
- Book a slot in the Hillside Hot Tub, or private session in the gym & sauna.
- Walk to the superb Lord Poulett Arms for candelit dinners, and wind your way back by moonlight.
- Day trip to the idyllic village of Abbotsbury with its ruined Abbey, Tithe barn and subtropical gardens.
- Zip to the Unesco-listed Jurassic Coast (30 mins’ drive). Golden West Bay with its extraordinary cliffs is a must-see, and we love Lyme Regis’ horseshoe Cobb harbour and streets of independents — the coffee at Town Mill Bakery is the best, or for sunset with oysters and a crisp glass of wine head to Hix.
- Browse the thriving market at Bridport for vintage bargains, vinyl, local produce, and crafts (held on Wednesdays and Saturdays).
- Catch a film or comedy night at Bridport Electric Palace, a reinvigorated Art Deco theatre.
- Walk the stunning stretch of the SW coast path from Burton Bradstock to West Bay, fuelling first at the award-winning Hive Beach Café.

FAQs.
No, there are a handful of other rentals on-site, and they share this wellness facility. But you book private slots to enjoy it (free of charge) so it would only be you using it at the one time.
