  We (2 adults, 2 kiddos) had a lovely stay at this property.

  It was clean, well equipped and the hosts were brilliant - nothing was too much trouble and they even helped with my request to see the cows being milked....because that's what you do when you're staying on a dairy farm! We received a lovely welcome tray with cake and Prosecco and the jacuzzi was ready to go. Its very peaceful on the farm and the 3 alpacas are as good to watch as people! It's in a great location, being 30-40 minutes from lots of attractions such as National Trust properties, Corfe Castle, Bovington etc and just over an hour to get to Mudeford (Nr. Bournemouth) for the No. 1 Crabbing spot in the UK....would definitely recommend!

  Lovely farmhouse, we had a great stay, the house was very well equipped, the hot tub was fabulous and plenty of comfortable outdoor seating.

  The house is dated but to be expected as it’s an old farmhouse, my only gripe is that the house could do with a really good clean and the guttering fixing as it rained at night and there was a constant loud dripping on the conservatory roof however apart from that we all had a lovely stay. The onsite shop has more or less what you need and a little pricey, the clubhouse has decent priced drinks and a fabulous Sunday lunch, don’t be put off by the basic old looking surroundings, the staff were really helpful and very pleasant.

  We went in May.

  Beautiful setting, and high standard accommodation. Hosts were very helpful and friendly, and being on site were available if required. There was everything you would need, both for laundry and cooking. In the adjacent field were three friendly alpacas, lovely to watch them as we sat on the patio or in the hot tub. Next to us was another accommodation, but set in a way that offered privacy to both. Would we book both for the larger family in the future, yes we would. We took Maggie our 3yr old Cavapoo, no problem at all,

  A beautiful property that is peaceful and tranquil in a perfect setting.

  Sitting in the hot tub over looking at the Alpacas and the fields beyond is a unique experience. The property is clean and well equipped with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Location is great for surrounding area for Weymouth, Blandford Forum, Dorchester all well worth a visit. Or for a more local trip Gold Hill or Sturminster Newton. Definitely try the local fish and chips. In summary a fantastic property. A great place to relax, walk the dogs and generally unwind. Would definitely recommend.

  What a beautiful place Shires Rest is - a listed barn conversion with history, and now all new and up to date.

  Everything there that you ever need. Its so peaceful, looking out to countryside and watching the 3 alpacas outside, they are so quiet, so no bother at all. Nici and Steve the hosts were there on our arrival, and live nearby so any problems can be sorted - such a lovely dedicated couple. The hot tub was very welcome after our days out. We visited Sherborne Castle and garden centre adjoining it. Athelhampton House was beautiful and the gardens too.Would definitely recommend and its 10/10 from us both.
