Discover enchanting Dorset

Intimate and special, and surrounded by beautiful countryside, our country-house hotel offers a cosseting experience in the heart of Dorset. With genuine warm service, innovative and delicious menus, a relaxing spa, a stunning indoor pool and fragrant landscaped gardens, this is the quintessential luxurious escape.

We are delighted to be re-opening our doors once again for leisure stays from 17th May, and look forward to welcoming our guests with exceptional service and warm hospitality, alongside stringent safety and sanitation protocols to place our guests’ and teams’ wellbeing at the heart of everything we do.

Dining under the stars...

Here the wide wooden decks are lit by campfires and candlelight, the tables laid with fine linen for guests to enjoy an authentic South African braai – barbecue – as the lodge chefs serve up a generous buffet of grilled meats, traditional salads, fire-baked breads and local desserts.

As the stars wheel above, and the moon floats above ancient mountain peaks, raise a glass – of South African wine, of course – to another unforgettable day in Africa.
