Ian and Sue Benefer welcome you to Bowling Green Farm. It is a non working farm set in 8 acres. Located in a village nestled in the heart of Dorset's picturesque Blackmore Vale. The local pub offers truly delicious food. You can be as active or quiet as you choose. Pass your time exploring the fantastic walks & cycleways, come & enjoy or even paint the breathtaking scenery, come & discover the spectacular valleys & hills, along with beautiful villages that Thomas Hardy wrote about.

The 5 cottages have tastefully been converted from a 19 century dairy barn; they have plenty of character including beams.

All children and pets are very welcome.

I am myself confined to a wheelchair, therefore all the cottages are accessible and can be used by people with disabilities, please telephone for more information.

Your dog is very welcome too
