Really spacious, super clean and well-equipped kitchen. Only downside was the limited number of dogs allowed, which was a bit frustrating.

We really enjoyed our stay! The place was spotless and comfy, plus the farm walks were lovely. Perfect spot for heading into Weymouth. Definitely recommend giving it a go!
Emily
We loved our stay at Wild Meadows! The location is perfect for exploring Weymouth and the Jurassic coast - super handy. The house had everything we neededand the little touches like a welcome note, fizz, cakesand biscuits for our dog were really thoughtful. The hot tub was massive and a daily favourite, even when it rained since it’s undercover. Rob and Lin were fantastic hosts - always nearby if we needed anything but never intrusive. We’re already planning our next trip back. Definitely recommend!

The owners were friendly but left us to enjoy our break. Can’t wait to return again soon!

We spent a week here in June and honestly, it exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, with a welcoming prosecco, fresh flowersand cakes, it felt special. The interior is spacious and furnished with high-quality bits, making it super comfy. The beds and en-suites in both rooms were definitely a highlight. We loved relaxing in the secluded garden after exploring Dorsetand the hot tub was a real treat. The orchard at the back is a lovely touch from the owners - we’d happily come back!

We had such a lovely stay at this cosy cottage. The owners really thought of everything, with a bottle of Prosecco on ice and some delicious cakes waiting for us, which was a lovely touch.

We had an amazing stay! Everything we could possibly need was there, clearly showing the owners put a lot of thought into it. We loved seeing the cows and ducks on the R. Wey, makes it special to be on a working farm. The cottage was cosy and warm, with comfy beds and safe showers. Evenings spent watching films with popcorn and a roaring log fire were perfect. Day trips to Bowleaze Cove, West Bayand Dorchester were lovely. Marlboro chip shop and the Lobster Pot at Portland Bill serve the best crab sandwiches. Please support the Ukrainian cafe!

If you're after a cosy getaway, this place ticks all the boxes. The cottage was spotless and had a super cute arrival pack. Loved exploring the secret orchard with its fresh pears, apples, plumsand damsons. The hot tub was well looked after and perfect for unwinding. Great location too-beach, Dorchester, supermarkets all nearby. We’d definitely stay longer next time!
