Located within Dorset's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Bakers Mill is an early 17th century working farm covering 200 acres.

Our cottages surround a courtyard featuring a rill and small wildlife pond. They comprise a Grade 2 listed stone barn sleeping 6, and 4 adjoining cottages sleeping 3 in one, and 2 in each of the others. We can accommodate from 2 to 15 visitors plus cots and extra chair bed for small children.

Dogs are very welcome; there are some great walks for them right from the door of your cottage.

Coarse fishing is available nearby in our own lakes and there is a Games room on site with wireless broadband signal.

The farm is a haven for wildlife; deer can be seen grazing near the cottages, and there is a variety of wild animals, including otters and water voles. Many bird species can also be viewed in and around the farm. The clear night skies dazzle with stars. Our cottages are perfect for those looking for  peaceful, relaxing surroundings to unwind and take a break.

The local village is about 15 minutes walk and has a village shop with post office and a child and dog friendly local pub serving very good food.
