About Hobby Farm

Situated in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by picturesque countryside and wildlife, this site offers a peaceful adult-only base for exploring the Jurassic Coast. Tents, trailer tents and small campervans are welcome on the site's 14 non electric grass pitches. The pitches each welcome up to three guests, varying from 12 feet to 18 feet wide.

The huts enjoy beautiful views of the small fishing lake, great for bird watching with your cup of coffee in the morning. Inside is a delightfully comfortable super king-size bed (bedding is not provided), two electric sockets and lighting. There is also a kitchenette equipped with a sink, a hob, fridge, kettle, crockery and utensils so you will have everything you need to cook up something tasty! Otter's Nest has private toilet and shower facilities in huts nearby, and Badger's Retreat has its own ensuite toilet and shower. You will also have a private outdoor area surrounded by secure fencing, with your own firepit BBQ, perfect for roasting marshmallows! Dogs are welcome to join you on holiday, including in the shepherd's huts.

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesOct 2024

A great little spot, it was peaceful (yay no kids!). There was plenty of space, it feels like it's in the middle of nowhere, but it's only a 15 minutes drive from Bridport. Basic but clean facilities and warm running water at the outdoor sink.
