The attractive little village of Ibberton, nestling beneath the ridge of Bulbarrow Hill, is located within the Blackmore Vale, a short drive from Blandford Forum in glorious North Dorset. The surrounding countryside, celebrated by Thomas Hardy, who wrote 'Return of The Native' in nearby Sturminster Newton, is now a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with superb scenic walks and a haven for wildlife. There is plenty to see and do within an easy drive, including Stourhead House and Gardens, the fabulous abbey and castles at Sherborne, the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury, as well as the bustling market town of Dorchester. Just a little further afield, the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury, and the popular seaside resorts of Bournemouth and Weymouth provide great days out. A super, peaceful holiday base from which to explore this lovely part of the country at any time of the year.

The cottage was small but adequate, very clean, all the facilities were there as advertised including WiFi. The owners were pleasant and the surrounding countryside was beautiful.
Mr Wilding, Plymouth, March 2012

I loved the surrounding area. The owners were helpful but unobtrusive. Lovely little garden for those with dogs.
Mrs Thiel, Ruislip, September 2011

Friendly but unobtrusive owners. Lovely garden in a beautiful rural setting. Great for walking the dog. Bird feeder supplied hours of entertainment. Good location for visiting Dorset places of interest.
