Farmhouse Organic Bed and Breakfast     

As one of only four Certified Organic Bed and Breakfasts in Britain, our entire breakfast menu is fully organic.  We also go to great lengths to find local and seasonal organic food and drink.  We aim for good value for money and outstanding personal service.

We have a new lamb, called Plippy.  Come and see her and see her plip - that means take off into the air with all four legs in the air.  Children are allowed to stroke her under our supervision.

We are currently offering third night half price so book early to avoid disappointment!

We are open during the Olympics.  We are 45 minutes by car from Weymouth, or go to Dorchester (half an hour) and take the park and ride to the Olympics.  The Olympic Sailing venue is at Weymouth and Portland.

A special Dorset Bed and Breakfast

Orchard Farmhouse was awarded "Best Organic Business 2011" in the Taste of Dorset Awards! 

    

When guests arrive at Orchard Farmhouse Organic B and B they usually say, "Wow, what a view!" On being shown their room, they are delighted to find they have the full panoramic view. 

After a journey people are often tired so we sit them down in our sitting room to look out over the terrace and garden.  Its a gorgeous vista of one of our garden orchard, the wonderful willows and the hills in the distance.  A cup of tea or coffee and they are soon revived. 

Sarah and Rupert are fortunate to be able to share their historic farm house with their guests.  It is tranquil, comfortable and a bit special. With only three guest rooms, a lounge for you to share, private parking, gardens and fields in organic conversion, a more exclusive location would be hard to find.  Whether you are on holiday, touring, visiting friends or on business, you will find a warm welcome at Orchard Farmhouse Organic Bed and Breakfast.   Walkers, cyclists, children are all welcome too.

Whoever you are, you can be sure of a special welcome from Sarah and Rupert at Orchard Farmhouse, a North Dorset Bed and Breakfast serving only certified organic food.

With easy access to the historic market towns of Dorchester, Sherborne, Shaftesbury and Blandford Forum, you are in the heart of a beautiful county at Orchard Farmhouse, Wonston, Hazelbury Bryan, Sturminster Newton, Dorset, DT10 2EE. Within an hour's drive you can access coastline as diverse as Lulworth Cove, Weymouth and Chesil Beach.

Sailors

We are keen dinghy and yacht sailors and run ABCSailing. We can suggest many places to launch a boat, learn sailing or hire a yacht. We even offer courses in sailing theory.

Beach Combers

Dorset has some of Britain's finest beaches. Sandbanks is gorgeous. It can be busy in the high days of summer in which case we can suggest some less well known spots near Lulworth Cove and Bridport. The fossils near Lyme Regis are fascinating.  The Hive Beach at Burton Bradstock is a great favourite because of its award winning cafe, serving great local fish.

Musicians

There is strong musical tradition in Dorset, especially round Orchard Farmhouse Organic Bed and Breakfast.  Classical festivals are of a very high standard at the Sherborne, Plush and Cerne Abbas festivals.  Poole Lighthouse and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra are highly respected.  Folk music features all over the place - favourites are the Budapest Cafe Orchestra who come to this area every year.  There is even a Boogie Woogie festival in Sturminster.  In August is the Milton Abbas Festival in the beautiful abbey. 

Sturminster Newton has an excellent venue called The Exchange.  It attracts famous musicians such as John Williams.

Our guest lounge has a good upright piano and guitars which you are welcome to play. 

Artists

Please come and stay and make our Organic B and B your base for drawing and painting the Dorset landscape. Sarah is an art therapist and enjoys drawing. We have a few books on art to refer to and perhaps inspire you - though the views should do the trick.

We also host small events in our farmhouse such as talks on the environment.  We hope to have the Hardy Society visit one day.  Dorset Art Weeks are all around us in 2012.

Touring: We know the Dorset, Somerset and South West of England area very well.  Below is one of the fabulous views from a tiny side road.  See the barn in the background?  It featured in the film of Far from the Madding Crowd.
