The heart of the semi-fictional landscape of Wessex that Thomas
Hardy brought so evocatively to life in his novels is rooted in the
picturesque Dorset
countryside in which the author grew up.
This 'Partly Real, Partly Dream Country' is the perfect
embodiment of England's romantic, pastoral countryside - where
better for a traditional cottage getaway? A visit to Hardy Country
allows you to walk in the steps of Hardy's characters
themselves. Wander through the lush, idyllic surroundings of the
Blackmore Vale, explore the ancient woodlands and chalk downlands
of Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or wander
through the historic, cobbled streets of Dorchester.
These beautiful locations are merged forever with the author's
work and there's a sense of this unique literary legacy
wherever you choose to discover.
Hardy Country is one of the most enchanting and timeless places
to stay in the South of England, and our superb range of
