About

Located in the heart of Hardy’s Dorset, Doles Ash Farm Holiday Cottages offers a relaxing break surrounded by beautiful countryside and set in 12 acres of West Dorset’s Piddle Valley. No longer a working farm, this family run self-catering holiday cottage complex with indoor pool offers 7 comfortable cottages, all of which have been sympathetically converted from former farm buildings. Our holiday cottages are clustered around a grass courtyard, along with the owners’ 18th-century manor house, indoor swimming pool, tennis court, play field with climbing frame and games room with pool table, table tennis, toys, DVD’s and much more! FREE WIFI

Close to Dorchester, Weymouth and Sherborne, Doles Ash Farm Cottages are located in a great position to explore Dorset, and are perfect for a relaxing holiday with family and friends or a short romantic break. The countryside surrounding the farm is glorious, and offers a network of footpaths direct from your door. This landscape was made famous by Thomas Hardy and Doles Ash features in his “Tess of the D’urbervilles” as Flint Comb Ash.

Road Directions

Coming from the direction of Dorchester, take the road to the village of Piddletrenhide.  Once you have passed the piddle in and village store on your left – you need to take the first right turn. Which is directly behind a white thatched cottage on the corner signposted Cheselbourne and takes you up a steep hill.Doles Ash Farm Cottages are approx 1 mile up the hill on the right. At the sign, drive down the tree lined hill straight to the bottom and a five bar gate. Park in the car park under the trees and then call at the farmhouse in the courtyard (the one with the green stable door) for your keys etc.
