  • Dorset working organic family farm a mile and a half from Halstock
  • A 20-minute drive to Sherborne; half an hour to Jurassic Coast
  • Daily drink of free fresh milk from the dairy
If you’re after somewhere to experience a proper slice of rural Dorset life, surely you can hardly do better than a working family farm where you’ll be provided with a daily drink of free milk fresh from the on-site dairy? If that sounds like just the countryside vibe you’re looking for, bag yourselves a space at Liberty Farm, up at the northern edge of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty about a mile and a half from the village of Halstock. This organic farm is run by Pete, who looks after the dairy herd. Everything has been set up here to keep things simple and peaceful – there’s plenty of space to go around on this historic farm, but guest numbers are kept low to ensure you’ll have that relaxed rural peace you seek. The facilities have been kept to the essentials as well – you’ll have access to a compost toilet and a cold water tap but please note there are no showers on site. With scenic surroundings, quiet roads and plenty of lovely pubs and cafés nearby this is a particularly good base for walks and bike rides. There are also several attractive villages and towns to poke around in nearby, including Evershot, Beaminster and Montacute (all within a 20-minute drive). Sherborne is about 20 minutes away too, and it’s around half an hour to the Jurassic Coast around Bridport and West Bay.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Superb location, facilities as described, which are simple and reflected in the price. Just what I wanted and more......which was that Abby let me stay in a bell tent as it was still up and the ground was sodden........saved me a lot of mess I have had to setup and pack up my own tent. Lovely milk as you'd expect. Many thanks!

Liberty yurt

Liked: The view from the yurt was beautiful, and the bed extremely comfortable with lovely linen. As the picture shows the yurt has cows in the field around it , but they are behind a fence so they are separate from the immediate area around the yurt and to and from the loo, which is flushing ( no walking through cowpats as I had wondered). Abigail is a lovely host and the whole weekend was very relaxed and welcoming . I would highly recommend going and hope to be back , maybe in the cooler months as the yurt also has a log burner.

Disliked: none

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet site with beautiful views, cheap & cheerful. We were kindly given a fire pit/ kindling & some logs which was a unexpected bonus

Disliked: Toilet area could have done with a spruce up, not dirty but the door didn’t close properly & the LED lights didn’t work.

KATE D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The campsite is incredibly tranquil, with the most beautiful views. It's very simple, with only a compost loo and tap, but if you like simplicity and quiet, and are fairly self contained (it's a way to any amenities such as pubs and shops) you would be happy here. Very good communication from owner too.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike but some uneven ground in places so bring a good mattress

Local attractions

There are lots of lovely places to take a walk nearby, and you’ll be given a pack of circular walks and OS maps to use while you’re here. Some of the top picks include the Hardy Way, the South West Coast Path and circular routes running from East Coker, Evershot and Hooke Park. There are also some fine options for bike outings, with Sustrans route 26 running close by and the bike-focused Feed Station café in Merriott (half an hour’s drive) organising group rides. Other places to visit nearby include the splendid town of Sherborne (20 minutes), which has an abbey and a castle built by Sir Walter Raleigh, and the famed Cerne Abbas Giant (20 minutes), etched into a hillside for at least several centuries. And of course, there’s the Dorset coast – the area known as the Jurassic Coast is about half an hour away, for walks on the beach in West Bay, excellent lunches in the Hive Beach Café and a stroll around the subtropical gardens and swannery in Abbotsbury.
