Park Farm Cottages

Set within 28 acres of gardens, paddocks and woodland, the beautiful Georgian farmhouse and old barns at Park Farm, have been lovingly restored over 7 years. The once derelict 18th century farm courtyard has been converted to provide two exceptional, one bedroom cottages, with delightful private gardens, and luxury accommodation for adults. The owners pride themselves on their efforts to helping the environment. Unlimited hot water and the underfloor heating are supplied from a renewable energy biomass boiler, and an electric car charging point is available for guests in the large secure parking area. Park Farm is located on the outskirts of the village of East Knoyle on the Wiltshire/Dorset border. Situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the cottages are well positioned for exploring the wonderful countryside of the Cranborne Chase, Thomas Hardy’s Blackmore Vale and the dramatic Jurassic Coast. The ancient hilltop town of Shaftesbury, with Gold Hill of the Hovis Bread advert fame, is nearby. The Cathedral cities of Salisbury and Wells, and Bath with it’s famous Roman Baths are perfect for a day trip. The popular visitor attraction of the world renowned Longleat Safari Park is just 6 miles away. Many National Trust, English Heritage and Royal Horticultural Society properties, including Stonehenge, Stourhead and Sherborne Castle are within easy reach.

Paula, the owner was extremely nice and while not in any way intrusive, extremely friendly. Strongly recommend.

“The cottage was superb, a beautiful place to stay, not just inside but with a wonderful garden and outlook too.”

Paula and her family were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Everything was luxurious. It was a wonderful holiday. Additionally this is great location, being very near many significant tourist attractions such as Stonehenge, Stourhead and many lovely Dorset and Somerset towns.

Miss Preston May 2021

“We had a lovely stay in this beautiful cottage.”

Good weather meant that we made full use of the garden. It was also great to watch the horses in the field across the road and to walk into the village for ice creams.

Mrs Longstaff May 2021

“This is a lovely place to stay.”

Pristine and tasteful and comfortable. We really appreciated how spacious the accommodation is (not always the case in cottages for 2) and the lovely private garden/terrace area. Our only complaint is Friday change-over. Road are much worse on a Friday and especially the Friday of a bank holiday weekend. We prefer Saturday change-overs.

Mrs Samano May 2021

“We loved the accommodation - really comfortable and well equipped, with luxurious touches such as nice toiletries and bathrobes that gave a boutique feel.”

The bed was heavenly. And the outside space is great too, with a well-planted garden and view to fields and woods. Would highly recommend.

Mrs Rose May 2021

“Barn Owl is a very well set up cottage and met all expectations from reading the write up.”

It is clean and comfortable. The area is good walking country, and we could even do some walks from the cottage without taking the car.

- Mrs Rose, May 2021
Mrs Challen April 2021

“A gem of a cottage- beautifully restored and furnished, comfortable and peaceful, with views across to the fields and woods.”

We loved it here! It was still early season for the lovely garden, but we enjoyed the scent of the spring flowering Clematis wafting through the windows and watching the plentiful bird life. Paula, the friendly but discrete owner, was on hand in case of problems ( there weren’t any!) We enjoyed a local walk past bluebell woods and visited an exquisite spring NGS open garden in the very pleasant nearby village but the cottage was also ideally placed for venturing further afield. We walked and visited gardens in Somerset and Dorset as well as Wiltshire. Mrs G Challen

“Very well positioned to visit places north, south, east or west and in a quiet peaceful location overlooking fields and woodland.”

The barn has been exquisitely converted into very spacious self catering accommodation in a modern way with clean quality furnishings and equipment. The host is most welcoming and helpful.
