Remote property in lovely surroundings

Perfect for us. We had a long weekend to explore this part of Dorset. Host very friendly and welcoming. The property is over their double garage so if you need them easy to see but we never saw them once which is nice. Well stocked with kitchen utensils if you want to eat in. We explored all day and come back early evening, bit of a challenge if you don’t like driving in the dark but we identified landmarks that helped so no problem. Kitchen window looks on to fields with horses from their stables and an occasional spotting of deer. Loving if you like walking. Property decor is tired but homely and didn’t bother us at all. Would probably return to see it in the summer.

Peaceful short stay

A lovely, quiet stay at the end of a long drive/track. Flat is as described, light and airy, overlooking woodland and paddocks. The two settees are comfortable after a day on your feet and the bed is big, comfortable and cosy. Hosts were very helpful and were there to greet us and to say goodbye. Food basics are supplied, tea, coffee, sugar and condiments. The only thing that couldn't be arranged was some sunshine!!

Comfy and Quiet

The Hydeaway is in a tranquil location yet ideally situated for the many local attractions and towns, such as Compton Acres Gardens, Athelhampton House, RSPB Arne, Swanage, Weymouth, Corfe Castle etc. Lovely views of the fields and woods from the property which is owned by Julian And Caroline who are very amiable hosts. Highly Recommended.

As good as it gets

If you like to get out into the countryside this is as good as it gets. Julian & Caroline are perfect hosts, the property is clean and tidy plus everything you need is there and the surroundings are just as good if not better than the photo's. There are no negatives from us and we would definately like to return again. Thank you both for a great weeks stay.

Flat with lovely views!

Lovely little flat with great views over the garden and paddock. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and everything you could need for your stay. Perfect if you love nature, deer and squirrels in the horse paddock nearly every day we stayed. There is a nice garden to relax in on sunnier days and the hosts were very helpful and welcoming.

Visiting family for a few days

We were made to feel very welcome. The property was just 12 mins from where our family were, so an ideal spot for us. Clean and comfortable plus value for money. We would have loved to make more use of the tennis court, but weather was not our best friend. Would definitely book again for another visit.

John and Brenda!s Review

If you want a quiet peaceful break this is the ideal spot. Set in an area of open paddocks on the edge of the forest,good views. A little off the beaten track but no problem, because it gets you to that quirt spot. The owner Julian could not have been more welcoming or more helpful , a quick explanation and then left us to enjoy our break though always on hand for help and advice on the area with regard to places of interest or recommending local restaurants etc.A good week.

About the host

Hosted by Julian and Caroline Brook-Fox

Host profile image
Caroline and Julian have loved living in the farmhouse for 20 years watching their family grow up after a busy life travelling around the world with the armed forces.

Why they chose this property

We were lucky enough to be able to buy this small equestrian property whilst posted locally because we loved its rural aspect and yet it was very convenient for the local railway station and the coast. Hydeaway is close to our farmhouse,

What makes this property unique

The flat is very well situated for accessing all the very many local attractions yet is off the beaten track. As a result because there is so little light pollution you will rarely see the stars so clearly.!
