LOCATION & ACTIVITIES
A gentle stroll from ‘The Hollies’ is an excellent pub, The Sailors Return, which extends a warm welcome to visitors (and their dogs) with delicious homemade food and a 'pop-up' wood fired pizza van in the summer.
Easy access to beaches, towns and visitor attractions such as Monkey World, The Tank Museum, Lulworth Castle, Corfe Castle, Blue Pool, Swanage railway and Studland beach. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are barely an 8 min drive away.
The Saxon town of Wareham has some great coffee shops and a Saturday market on the quaint little quay.
Alternatively, visit the County town of Dorchester, stomping ground of famous author Thomas Hardy, to peruse fascinating ancient dig artifacts and finds on display at Dorset Museum & Art Gallery, discover mummies at Tutankhamun exhibition or seek local celebrity cat ‘Susie’, who’s recently drawn quite a fan club among visitors, shopkeepers and residents alike.
There really is something for everyone!
WALKS
There are walks straight from the doorstep for most abilities. For those who love a good hike, the end of the lane runs into a bridleway which leads to the South Coast path and it’s possible to walk to Lulworth and Durdle Door or Ringstead and Osmington!
AMENITIES
Just down the road are two well stocked farmshops, 'Jurassic Coast' and 'Kate's, and Winfrith Village Stores for essentials, newspapers, local honey, gifts and a Post Office Counter. The nearest supermarkets are in Wareham or Dorchester, approx 20 mins drive.
For fuel and electric car recharging, the village of Wool is just few miles, where shops include a super little delicatessen ‘The Hidden Deli’, a Spar shop, Boots Chemist, takeaways, hairdressers, hardware store and a train station. There is also a doctor’s surgery in Wool.
