The Old School Room

The old school room is a fantastic place to stay.

The property is very clean & tidy with everything you would need.The property is also very quiet and perfect as a base to explore the local area.The owner even gave us a look at the cows on his farm. The owners dogs are very friendly & very well behaved.

Comfortable property in beautiful Dorset scenery.

Very convenient for visits to places of interest. Well equipped property.

We had a lovely week.

The cottage was perfect and the flowers,Milk and biscuits was a very thoughtful touch on arrival, so many thanks. The owners were very friendly and it was lovely to talk to them. It was lovely to be a very rural position, the countryside was stunning . We highly recommend this property. We also fell in love with the owners dogs.

Really lovely isolated spot and quirky property.

Centrally located for access to all parts of the stunning Dorset countryside- indeed set right in the middle of a beauty in its own right. Clean, comfortable and a perfect setting to relax.

The property was a little remote and difficult to find3 with an approach down a narrow country lane for around three miles.

The accommodation was good overall but the bed was, for us, a little on the small side and somewhat hard. The flowers and tea coffee milk and biscuits were a nice touch biscuits.

The property was of a high standard and was a joy to come home to each time.

The rooms were spacious and airy. We enjoyed staying in the property and the flowers, milk and biscuits on arrival were a nice touch. It was a good base with which to explore Dorset and the surrounding area. The two dogs, Tilly and Stella were delightful.

Well-equipped, clean, comfortable home-from-home.

Fresh flowers, milk, tea, coffee and biscuits to welcome us. Great base for exploring the beautiful Dorset countryside.

A beautifully presented, well equiped cottage.

Extremely pleased with the accommodation, just right for two.

Shower worked very well, delighted with the bright lighting in the bedroom and bathroom. Very clean. Comfortable bed and seating. Will book again next time we decide to have a Dorset holiday.

We had a lovely weekend in this very.

Comfortable and well equipped cottage. The welcome goodies were much appreciated thank you. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet time away. If we need to visit Dorset again, we would most definitely stay there. Thank you for having us.

Great property, very clean and comfortable.

Owner a pleasure to deal with

We had a lovely stay at The Old School Room.

The only slight problem was road closures which added to journey time.

Beautifuly presented Cottage with fresh flowers and milk in the fridge.

A sunny courtyard with lots of birds. Two friendly dogs and a welcome from the owner. Very good wifi and strong mobile signal. There are walks from the cottage but signposting can be erratic, no problem though getting lost in the rural scenery. Easy access (though be careful on the narrow roads to the Cottage) Yeovil and Dorchester an easy drive. Enjoyed our comfortable stay, the week went too quickly!

We had a lovely Easter Weekend in The Old School Room.

It's a really comfortable place to stay and is quite peaceful. The property was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We would recommend anyone wanting to explore North Dorset to stay here!

Lovely place very quiet overall some traffic noise up and down the lane would recommend putting a bigger sign on the wall as it is easily missed.

Great stay

Booked for a week as working in the area.

Nice quiet location, ideal for me. Had everything I needed.

Lovely homely cottage, the extra little touches - flowers, biscuits, tea bags & milk on arrival were very much appreciated!

Some fantastic footpath walks straight from the farm & a wonderful pub 45 mins walk away. But most evenings we stayed in & played the board games supplied as we enjoyed the cottage so much. We were sad to leave!

We've just had a lovely, relaxing week here, and would thoroughly recommend.

Perfectly fresh and clean with everything you need. Great position for exploring north into Somerset and down onto the south coast too. You soon get used to the narrow lanes!

Good property to rent.

The positioning is good, as long as you can cope with the small narrow deep lanes that lead to the farm, it is situated on. We took it slowly and had no issues. These old farm lanes were not built to accommodate 2 vehicles side by side, so you need to take care while driving. Do not expect the locals to slow down, they are used to these lanes and know where the passing places are. The entrance is also quite narrow, as the farm buildings were not built to accommodate large vehicles when built several hundred years ago. We had our Mercedes GLC and that was fine, so medium size vehicles are no problem. Sleeping accommodation downstairs, living up top. Quiet location, once back on the A37, you have easy access to Dorset. Local pub in Evershot very good but not cheap to eat there. Easy access to Yeovil, or to Dorset for shopping. Supermarkets in both. We had a good week and I would recommend this property.

Lovely comfortable cottage.

Really quiet location, a few tractors went past but it was harvest time and not noisy. We had no issues with wifi or phone signal. Such a relaxing stay with welcoming owners and lovely dogs. Would happily stay again.

Lovely cottage everything we needed.

Good welcome pack and fresh flowers. Very clean and all the utilities needed. Would definitely consider going back. Only set back was finding the accommodation, had to ask for directions but worth it when we got there.

Wonderful cottage lovely host and hostess, beautiful doggies Stella and Tilly.

The road to the cottage is a bit fraught at times, big tractors zooming along but no one ever less than friendly and helpful.

We had such a lovely peaceful stay!

The cottage was even better than we expected and had everything we needed. The beautiful vase of yellow roses and the welcome hamper were a lovely touch. Once we’d got used to the narrow country roads, we were off exploring and the cottage was so lovely to return back to every day.

Very comfortable lovely bed Andrea so comfortable good restful nights a lovely place to stay.

Really lovely stay, very peaceful - you have a fantastic property.

Personal touches were lovely, fresh flowers especially were a really nice surprise! :)

First class holiday cottage does what it says on the tin

This barn was lovely, very clean and a credit to its owner.

We loved staying here. The owner was very helpful and unobtrusive. We fell in love with Dorset.

Ideal cottage for two, peaceful tranquil location.

Very private with all necessary facilities. Having the bedroom etc on the ground floor and the kitchen, lounge on the first floor was no problem. Owners unobtrusive but readily available if needed. Lovely holiday in a beautiful county. Brian Hales

Old school We had a great time at the old school very clean lovely place enjoyed the dogs the venue was one of the best places I’ve stayed in I highly recommend it to anyone it was so beautiful gets top marks from us

We had everything we could have needed for our weeks stay……peace and quiet, easy access to nearby villages/towns we wanted to visit and very friendly owners.

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Old School Room.

And a whole week of beautiful weather - I assume it is always like this in Dorset? All of which made the stay extra special. Beautiful countryside around. Although off the beaten track it is surprising how many vehicles pass by the bedroom windows - some of them tractors - even as late as 11 pm. Ideal getaway for a couple - but be aware that there are no views from the property itself as it is sited on a working farm and surrounded by buildings. None of this was an issue to us as we were aware before we arrived. We would happily book again if we return to the area. Thank you to the owners for a lovely stay.

The cottage was everything we had hope for.

It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and complete with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. The owners, Andrea and Colin were very welcoming hosts to this peaceful little hideway on the working Manor Farm. Highly recommended. 5stars all round. Ian & Jane.

Delightful holiday let , so quiet and peaceful .

We felt all our possible needs had been thought of . We loved where the holiday let is , great being within a working farm . Also we'll situated for lots of interesting days out .

We really liked the Old School Room which was spacious and comfortable surrounded by lovely countryside.

The owners are friendly and helpful. It's out of the way but easy to get over to Beaminster and down to the coast, under a half hour's drive. We would definitely return when staying in the area.

We had a wonderful stay.

The cottage was lovely and had everything in it that you would need. It was an upside down cottage and the upstairs open plan lounge kitchen diner had amazing high ceilings and was lovely and bright. We enjoyed having dinner on the patio and then enjoying amazing sunsets on our walks. The welcome pack was really appreciated. Will definitely go back.

A real away-from-it-all experience (including internet and even phone - there is intermittent wi-fi but best make holiday plans at home beforehand).

We struggled a bit with setting the shower and the oven - some instructions would help as our own systems are quite different from these. The cottage is lovely and we had a good, relaxing holiday there. When out, we got lost innumerable times but the unintentional scenery we saw more than compensated!

The accommodation was fantastic, and a great place for dog walking over the road to the farm areas which was Dorset County public walk ways.

Nice small garden with bench and sunshade. It was very hot when I was there but the property had two great fans. I will be sure to book again. Regards Brian and my dog Sam.(Who also enjoyed his stay).

The old School Room was lovely set in the countryside it was quiet and peaceful but with easy access to main routes if you wanted to explore that area.

The tea,coffee,milk and biscuits was an appreciated touch as were the flowers on the table. For me the only down size was the firmness of the mattress on the bed - fine if you like that but I prefer a softer one. All in all I can highly recommend this cottage

Very friendly banter and got into the farming way of life.

Great local strolls on the farm for dogs .

Great stay at The old schoolroom very quiet , we had a good nights sleep every night, the cottage had everything that you needed very clean, flowers, tea, coffee and biscuits and milk very thoughtful of the owners, great place to tour the area we explored from Poole to Sidmouth in the week

Brilliant holiday - great location and lovely property

This cottage is so beautiful , the cleanliness is out of this world .

I was accommodated as a late booking and it all ran very smoothly . A peaceful getaway . Totally perfect in every way.

We had a lovely week’s stay at the Old School Room.

well equipped cottage in the heart of the Dorset countryside, conveniently situated next to a quiet country lane gives easy access to the surrounding area and next to the footpath that leads to the local village. The outside patio is a lovely sun trap in the afternoons, would definitely stay here again.

This was a lovely upside cottage.

Only problem with having the bedroom on the ground floor next to the road was that every morning about 6.15 to 6.30 a car raced by and woke up up. Also good idea to take fly spray as we got bitten quite badly.

A great place to if you want peace and quiet and enjoying walking

The cottage was very clean and our host were very welcoming and friendly.

The cottage was in the country and very quiet at night. There were footpaths on our doorstep and others around the area, which we enjoyed walking and exploring. We like cycling and cycle route 26 passes by the cottage which we took advantage of. It was a very relaxing time.

Great location.

Especially for cycling the country lanes of Dorset. Hosts very welcoming, fresh milk on arrival etc....

Lovely cute upside-down cottage, nice and clean with a welcome pack with flowers ready on arrival.

Everything we needed was provided.

Really lovely cottage, great location for all our trips out exploring the Jurassic coast.

All you need in the cottage for a comfortable stay Would recommend this accomadation Michael Wood.

The Old School House was very comfortable, friendly owners and their sweet dogs.

Dorset is a beautiful county, smooth roads, very clean and not much traffic. A wonderful holiday- we will be back! Graham Underwood

Overall we found the Old School House comfortable and the owner was friendly and welcoming.

We did however find the noise from the very busy road right in front of the cottage disturbing. There are no amenities close by and it is very isolated.

we had a wonderful time.

Although it rained a lot the comfort of the cottage offset that.Beautiful part of the country,and the owner of the cottage was very friendly and helpful.

We have had a lovely relaxing time at the Old School house.

I loved the the fact that it was so quiet but within easy reach of the so many beautiful places.The cottage is lovely and has everything you need.We where very comfy .Thank you

Quiet property away from busy traffic.

Very spacious, clean and comfortable, would recommend this cottage to everyone. Will definitely be staying here again.

Extremely well equipped clean cottage in very quiet location.

We had a really comfortable stay at the Old School Room.

It was clean and had all we needed for our stay. It was a great base to explore beautiful Dorset.

The Old School Room is a really comfy cottage, exceptionally clean, very friendly owners and staff on the farm.

We really enjoyed our stay there.

Good location for our needs.

Easy to get to other parts of Dorset.

Bedroom downstairs and lorrys whizzed past directly outside also found it risky when leaving the property as you emerged between two stone buildings.

The farm does not have livestock anymore so there was no noise from farm itself. Only took about 30 minutes by car to the coast or local places of interest . Cottage was well equipped and clean.

Our host, Mrs Ridout could not have done any more to make our holiday a success.

She even had one of the farm lads pump up our car tyre that was looking a bit low. The cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean, and very comfortable.

The cottage was comfortable, clean and in a great location for a varied week of exploring the local countryside and wider Dorset area, and perfect for recovering from a busy work life.

The cottage is well equipped, clean and is generally blissfully quiet, and the welcome pack was indeed very welcome! Re feedback, and this may well be to do with time of year - an occasional smell from the farm was detectable, but that is to be expected on a working farm. Within the cottage, if one was to be somewhat picky, I thought the two sofas could do with being renewed, the bathroom extractor fan was not working during our visit, and I missed having a larger frying pan to cook with than those provided. I like the fact that the cottage was pet friendly, though we did not have one with us. I also thought the walk from the cottage to Evershot could be mapped out and provided to guests, as it took us a while to work it out and several others commented in the guest book that they were defeated. The walks from the cottage to Evershot and Halstock were lovely, and from the cottage we drove easily to Bridport, Cerne Abbas, Sherborne, Dorchester, West Bay, Lulworth Cove, Tyneham and Studland beach, taking in a variety of 5-9 mile walks, museums, parks, sites and beaches. All totally worth a visit! All in all a very lovely week was had. Thank you.
