Primrose Cabin, Primrose Cottage, which is a few hundred yards down the lane. and The Dairyman Suite which is a unique Band B suite at our farm just a mile away; all can be viewed on Booking site I am an artist, thoroughly inspired by the local landscape. My wife is a freelance writer and author. I grew up in the New Forest and my wife moved to Dorset when we married some 30 plus years ago. We moved to this area a decade or so ago. We enjoy the outdoors and are both very creative. We know Dorset well and have tried to provide as much information as we can for your enjoyment. We have tried to make all our properties to the standard of somewhere we would like to stay. We are blessed to live in such a beautiful county. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Just a short walk from the village of Moreton, Honeysuckle Cottage is set amid a large pet proof private garden, which boasts hammocks, benches, wild flower areas, outside dining, BBQ and patio. The surrounding areas are stunning countryside and forest. There are ample walks and cycling on the doorstep and a wide river in the local village for wild swimming and having fun.

The second bedroom offers two full size single beds, perfect for adults or children.There is a stair gate for safety at top of the stairs.The spacious but cozy lounge has a reclining sofa, and arm chairs as well as a dining table. There is a lovely log burner and inglenook fireplace and Smart TV with Satellite, this offers a multitude of channels. There is also board games, colouring, and a well stocked bookshelf. The bathroom is well equipped with bath and shower. Honeysuckle Cottage was a former blacksmith and gamekeepers cottage built in the early 1800s. It is a quaint, cosy, grade 2 listed thatch. The uniqueness comes from its quirky features such as paneled stairs, original bread oven, and inglenook fireplace. The cottage was fully and sympathetically restored in 2020 and offers everything for all stays, for you and your doggie friends. The peace is tangible only broken by the snuffle of deer that occasionally walk through the garden. If you want tranquil, safe peace or a lovely family stay with easy access to woodland walks, beaches and tourist attractions the cottage is a great place to choose. We have another cottage that sleeps 4 and a log cabin that sleeps two, close to amenities and beaches yet all in there own private settings and all within a short distance of each other, we try to provide a memorable stay for our guests. We also have a unique little B and B suite at our 18th Century farm house, a mile up the road. We look forward to welcoming you if you choose to stay.
