Dorchester 8 miles.
The delightful village of Tolpuddle lies deep in the heart of Hardy country, just 8 miles from the bustling market town of Dorchester. Full of character, this village offers a tasteful combination of modern and thatched properties, surrounded by glorious countryside. The lush meadows, watered by the quaintly named 'River Piddle', and the nearby chalk downland provide lovely rural walks. This tranquil village is probably best known for its six famous Martyrs who held the first Trade Union meeting in 1831, and the local museum tells their story. There are plenty of other local attractions including Lawrence of Arabia's cottage, Athelhampton House, The Tank Museum and Monkey World, all of which are well worth a visit. With the delightful towns of Dorchester, Poole and Bournemouth, and the stunning Jurassic Coast also easily accessible, this is an ideal base for a varied holiday.

Previous visitors' comments about The Hayloft:
An excellent cottage, all rooms en-suite. Friendly owners. Great to explore Dorset. Will return.
Mr Cookson, Southport, November 2012
Our daughter loved the storage in the main room which was used as a tunnel! The setting of the property is beautiful with lots to do locally.
Miss Surridge, Ipswich, November 2012
We loved the property particularly the fact that all bedrooms were en-suite, very handy. The property was comfortable and well situated in the village. There was a very friendly pub which did lovely food, about 10 minutes walk, which also welcomed our dog as well.
Mrs Chapman, Norwich, September 2012
The cottage was absolutely lovely; we didn't want for
anything. It was very spacious (4 adults and 2 children), and we will definitely be recommending it.
