Dream Cottages and Liz and Ian, the owners, are delighted to welcome you to stay at either The Granary or The Dairy, Whetley Farm near Beaminster. Set in the sheltered, secure and sunny stable courtyard, these newly renovated cottages offer peace and tranquility but with the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and all the delights and attractions of West Dorset, East Devon and South Somerset easy to reach. Think Thomas Hardy, Broadchurch, Far From the Madding Crowd and the French Lieutenant's Woman.Each cottage has its own secluded and private patio with patio chairs, table and parasol where guests can sit and enjoy the peace and fresh air and young children and dogs can play safely. Our guests and dogs particularly love our two-acre woodland and wildflower meadow which they are free to wander in at any time. It is enclosed by deer fencing so dogs can be let off the lead, with mown paths to wander along and seats to enjoy the view.By arrangement, you can feed our happy hens who live in the orchard and collect the eggs.
Close to the lovely market town of Beaminster, with Bridport and the Jurassic coast only 9 miles away, there is something here for everyone here-wonderful walking, excellent pubs, fossiling and fishing, historic houses and gardens, with shops, galleries and museums in nearby Bridport, Dorchester and Sherborne. The cottages are just three quarters of a mile from the village of Mosterton with its very well stocked village shop and very popular village pub which serves great selection of good food and local beers.
Whetley Farm, a classic 17th century Dorset Hamstone farmhouse, is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty with wonderful views of Lewesdon Hill, the highest point in Dorset, crisscrossed by a well-signed footpath system for walking and enjoying the countryside. The lovely Beaminster Downs, Marshwood Vale, Lewesdon Hill, Pilsden Pen, Powerstock Forest, and Eggardon Hill are all within a short drive, Walkers are spoilt for choice and the owners can provide local area walking maps and suggested walks.
For seaside visits the choice is yours, elegant Lyme Regis, lively West Bay, endless sands at Weymouth, wonderful food at Hive Beach, fishing and boat rides, and the South Coast path to follow and Golden Cap to climb.

Lovely cottage. All facilities excellent. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The courtyard area was a boon for my dogs. The Paddock really lovely. Liz and Ian are really friendly and helpful. The village store can meet pretty much all needs and the Admiral Hood, the local pub, does great food and the family who run it couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Thoroughly recommend!! Stayed June 2018

Loved our stay at the Granary. The property and the enclosed garden were ideal for our two terriers. The property owners were very friendly and helpful (the fresh eggs were delicious). The area was very peaceful - it was lovely to stand in the garden at night to watch bats flying past and hear tawny owls calling
