Excellent hosts and a lovely welcome pack. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. It sounds like you had a very busy and enjoyable stay exploring everything the surrounding areas have to offer. We would love to welcome you again very soon for another holiday. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Susan September 2024

“We loved our stay at Droop Farm Cottage.”

It is so well equipped, with lots of little extras that we really appreciated. The garden is huge and, if you have a dog, it will love playing on the lawn. It was a shame that we didn't have decent weather as we would have loved to sit out there. Inside, the cottage is very clean, cosy and comfortable. I could live there! It's in a great location; lots to do locally but we also travelled to Sidmouth in Devon and the Dorset coast. The village shop is very well stocked. David and Tracey are fantastic hosts and we would love to come back again one day. Thank you!

- Susan, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Droop Farm Cottage. We are so pleased you and your furry friend all enjoyed your stay at the cottage and the lovely surroundings. We would love to welcome you again for another stay in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Donna June 2024

“Lovely cottage in a beautiful, quiet and peaceful area, with nearby footpaths for dog walks.”

Absolutely perfect for our needs, with the downstairs bedroom and shower room ideal for those with restricted mobility. Excellent hosts, welcoming and friendly, provided a well considered care package with superb home made goodies for human and canine treats. Lots of thought and care has gone into equipping the cottage so it feels like a home, not a typical holiday let. Comfortable beds, quality bedding, towels, finishing touches, nothing missing, no corners cut! Recommend this 100%. We loved our stay, and would definitely return. Thanks David, Tracey and Alfie, we had a wonderful time!

- Donna, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Droop Farm Cottage. We are so pleased to hear how much you all enjoyed your stay with us and that it felt like home. We hope you made the most of the area and wonderful places to visit. We would love to welcome you back for another stay in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Katie September 2023

“Lovely holiday cottage with everything you need and more.”

Nice touches around the cottage for example shower gel and hand soap etc in the bathrooms. The comfiest beds with luxury bedding. High quality towels to use. The information folder was very helpful and useful for planning our days. Udder farm shop was an excellent recommendation. Very generous and thoughtful fresh food basket with locally sourced products left for our arrival. Including the best lemon drizzle cake we have ever eaten. Definitely above and beyond any other holiday cottage we have stayed in. Loved having little Alfie the dog coming in to visit. Owners friendly and not intrusive. Wi-Fi excellent especially considering the location. Beautiful gardens. We will definitely try and book to come back in the summer time. Highly recommend. Thank you letting out your beautiful cottage.

Emma July 2023

“Such a wonderful cottage.”

An absolute haven for quiet reflection. My kids enjoyed the absolute massive garden and daily visits by the resident Westie, Alfie. My Westie adored him too! The place was great. So well equipped. thank you for the gift baskets. Lovely treats enjoyed by us all. It was so comfortable. Bedrooms were lovely. Wi-fi was excellent. Smart TV also welcomed by kids. The owners live next door….they are very welcoming and friendly but very unobtrusive. It is a trek to get anywhere….. expect to be travelling at least 45 mins to sightsee! 30 miles takes ages due to the country roads! But there are great places to visit: hurst castle by boat was a particular highlight. We would definitely return.

- Emma, July 2023

Thank you for this wonderful review. We're delighted you, your children and your Westie enjoyed your stay and found the cottage to be so comfortable. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Hideaway Cottages Property Owner
Rod July 2023

“Nicest and most comfortable rental we have ever stayed in and are sure to return.”

Location is English countryside at its best, very rural Ideal for dogs as the large garden is enclosed. Cottage has every facility imaginable Wi-Fi outstanding.

- Rod, July 2023

Thank you for the wonderful feedback, we're delighted to hear you all had a wonderful stay and look forward to welcoming you back again. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner
Jacqueline June 2023

“A beautiful cottage that has quality fixtures and fittings, cutlery, crockery and bed linens.”

The beautiful surroundings and peace and quiet makes for a wonderful time away. The welcome pack was amazing, certainly above and beyond any other holiday cottages we have stayed in. You do need to plan your days out as the cottage is situated in a quiet hamlet but at least you get the best of both worlds and within 45mins you can be enjoying sea views and he business of the beach. Our daily visits from little Alfie was a delight and we didn’t mind him calling on us. The owners do live immediately behind the cottage and were not too intrusive, occasionally looking for/collecting Alfie. In all we thoroughly enjoyed our week at Droop Farm Cottage and would not hesitate to recommend

- Jacqueline, June 2023

Thank you for the lovely comments, we're delighted you had a wonderful holiday. Best wishes, HideAways Property Owner
Susan March 2023

“The cottage is definitely like a home from home.”

Very clean, very well equipped with a good standard and range of equipment. Very good Wi-Fi. Large open garden area which is enclosed but also shared with the owners own property next door. The property is well placed to access lots of National Trust properties as well as the south coast, though expect a good 40 min drive each way to do this. A very generous welcome pack - thank you. Our dog and ourselves very much enjoyed our stay here.

- Susan, March 2023

Thank you for this lovely review. We're delighted that you (and your dog!) enjoyed your stay and found it to be so well equipped and in such a good location. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Hideaway Cottages Property Owner
Cynthia December 2022

“Lovely, spacious cottage and ideal for three couples wanting an active holiday exploring the local area.”

Everything said by others about the excellent goody pack to greet us was true. Great location with ample parking, very well-equipped kitchen and lots of books and games. The jigsaw puzzle (1000 pieces) was testing but the living room coffee table was ideal for spreading out the pieces. The Antelope Pub was good for New Years Eve entertainment although a bit of a hike in the wet. We particularly enjoyed the Bar Billiards. A very enjoyable stay with excellent, attentive hosts.

- Cynthia, December 2022

Thank you for the lovely comments, the owners really do try and make every stay special for guests. It's so lovely to hear everyone's views on the cottage and the fabulous places they have been to during their stay. We would love to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Hideaways Property Owner
Paul October 2022

“A really comfortable, well appointed cottage.”

The best Welcome Pack we have seen in over 20 years of renting holiday cottages! The cottage is in great location: a quiet position with plenty of nearby footpaths for walking the dog. Further afield, it's easy to reach the Dorset coast, the New Forest and places like Stourhead, Bradbury Rings and Kingston Lacy. The local pub (The Antelope) was welcoming and served tapas and standard pub food that was well cooked.

- Paul, October 2022

Wow another fabulous feedback, its great to hear you all enjoyed your stay and the lovely welcome pack. We agree the cottage is situated in a great spot for walks, right from your doorstep. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Hideaways Property Owner
Janine October 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at Droop Farm Cottage.”

So often reviews state ‘this cottage had everything we needed’, but this one truly did. The owners had thought of everything! The locally sourced welcome pack was amazing and very generous. We particularly liked the home baked cake and homemade preserve. Wi-Fi/broadband connection was great (3 teenagers mean this is essential!) and the fish and chip van that visits the village on a Wednesday is worth a visit. The resident dog, Alfie was welcoming and got on well with our cockapoo. The garden was very dog friendly. If you are looking for a quiet tranquil location for a rest and re-charge, we would highly recommend a stay here.

- Janine, October 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it sounds like your family and furry friend had a lovely stay. It's always a pleasure to get such wonderful feedback, telling us that we are doing everything right for guests to enjoy their stay at the cottage. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Hideaways. Property Owner

Katie July 2022

“A wonderful stay!”

The hosts were really friendly and went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing. We hired the cottage for the week following our wedding and it was incredibly peaceful and relaxing, even with our five month year old daughter. It is really spacious and equipped with everything you need for a holiday. The garden is beautiful and the scenery was gorgeous. I would highly recommend the cottage for a country escape with lovely hosts! Thanks you for making us feel so welcome!

“We had a lovely few days staying at Droop cottage.”

A very peaceful location and beautiful scenery.

- Joanne, October 2019
Nick September 2019

“What is most important for us is seclusion.”

I take some responsibility for booking a property that is overlooked by the owners but it would be helpful for this factor to be explicitly set out in the details. Having said that, the owner clearly wanted us to be comfortable and left a lovely welcome pack.

- Nick, September 2019

Iain August 2019

“Our biggest compliment would be within in ten minutes of unpacking the cottage felt like home.”

Facilities are fantastic and furniture is of a high standard. Grounds are great views stunning. We don’t have a dog but for any future families no problem at all. Cleanliness was of a very high standard and no doggy smells. Alfie the owners Scotty dog came to the door every morning but how could you anything but like him. Owners left a lovely welcome pack and we Mrs very approachable with any questions. Book with confidence the Perry’s

- Iain, August 2019
Barbara May 2019

“Droop Farm was in a lovely situation and had a beautiful garden.”

It was deep in the countryside and the lanes were very narrow but nice and quiet. The wildlife was fantastic, lots and lots of diferent birds and lots moths in our moth trap and there were deer and fox and squirrels to be seen in and arround the garden. The owners were very friendly but unobtrusive and were on hand to deal with any problems or question but did not interfer with our holiday. The garden was lovely and private even though it was joined openly to the owners garden. The welcome pack was fantastic and included some lovely marmalade made by the owner herself. We had a great holiday!

- Barbara, May 2019
Penny May 2019

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“This is a must for those dog owners who love excellent walks from the door, in a quiet picturesque location and staying in a cottage that is truly a home from home for both humans and dogs alike.”

In addition you get the fabulous touch of a welcome basket from the owners containing Dorset cereals, biscuits, home made marmalade, Dorset Tea, bread and treats, toys and poo bags for the dogs. The cottage itself has a good layout with large kitchen, shower room/toilet, double bedroom and lounge downstairs with a further two bedrooms and a good sized bathroom upstairs. It was well decorated and very clean throughout. It has a large secure lawned area attached to it that was perfect for our two busy Spaniels with large open fields literally 50 metres walk away. Thank you for an excellent break.

“Superb accommodation, well equipped and furnished in idyllic quiet rural location with friendly hosts.”

Excellent for families and small dogs. The Fox Inn and local Pizzeria were fab. Great for a restful, quiet break and accessible to Dorset/Devon coast in 1-1.5 hours.

“My wife and myself, stayed in Droop Farm Cottage to familiarize ourselves with Dorset, and to visit possible rural locations for a property move from Surrey.”

The cottage is ideally situated to explore Dorset, it is extremely rural with all the advantages of wildlife, countryside, and peace, and yet it is not far from the Dorset Jurassic Coast, or neighbouring country or local attractions.The cottage is extremely well appointed, there is plenty of space, the beds are comfortable, and honestly, it wants for nothing. The owners, David and Tracey are extremely helpful, friendly, and genuine people, and their dog Alfie is a joy. They were extremely generous with their unexpected welcome pack, which included a â€œJar-Ofâ€ Tracey's award winning marmalade, and a delicious home baked cake. We recommend Droop Farm Cottage to one and all, you will not be disappointed.

Mr Valentine

“We have had a wonderful week in your beautifully furnished and equipped cottage.”

The welcome basket was a nice surprise, and your cake as well as the 'Jar Of' were delicious. Droop Farm Cottage is by far the best rental accommodation that we have experienced in the UK, and we would recommend it to all. Many thanks to Tracey & David, and we will miss our daily visits from Alphie.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We booked this cottage for a long weekend over the May bank holiday and were very glad we did.”

The location was great, quiet and peaceful but with places to visit, (including the coast) and plenty of walks in the area. The garden and outside were well kept and there are terrific views from the patio area. We received a very warm welcome from Tracey and Alfie, (the dog) and felt immediately at home. The cottage was wonderful, with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting room and spacious comfortable bedrooms. Everything was spotless and the cottage was full of thoughtful touches. The welcome basket of bread, milk, Dorset cereals and Tracey's wonderful jar of marmalade was very much appreciated. If you are considering a break, short or long, with friends, family, old or young, this place fits the bill and we were sad to leave. Thank you David and Tracey for your wonderful hospitality and beautiful cottage.

“This is a beautiful cottage with all the modern facilities that you could ask for.”

The gardens were excellent and a great place to just sit and relax. There is plenty to do if you enjoy the countryside and the coast and other attractions are only a short drive away. The owners, Tracey and David made us feel very welcome. I would certainly recommend this venue for anyone that wanted to visit Dorset.

“Very nice house and garden, clean, quiet and with perfect fittings, even for rainy days with games and DVDs (excellent new films).”

The landlord is very helpful and the self-made jam is extremely delicious. From first arrival you feel good. Many sightseeing "objekts" in close distance. If we had the choice we would have extended our stay, but it was booked already.

“Fantastic, remote location but provides easy, drivable access to Stonehenge, Corfe Castle, and other interesting locations.”

The home itself is fully equipped with everything we needed for a lovely four day stay. The kids loved the open garden, Alfie the dog, playing croquet, and being surrounded by nature. The quiet location really gave our family time to relax, read, talk, and spend quality time together. The owners are exceptional. They balance privacy and accessibility for questions about the local area. They also create a really incredible batch of jams, marmalades, etc....highly recommended. This stop was one of the most enjoyable and memorable during our trip around the world, including several thousand miles of driving in UK and Ireland. The whole family wants to return for another holiday.

The cottage is in excellent condition and furnished to a really high standard. Fabulous relaxing location, spacious rooms, really comfortable beds, lovely linen and nice fluffy towels. The owners also include a great welcome hamper. We had a fab weekend and would highly recommend Droop Farm Cottage. One of the nicest I've stayed in a great value for money.

“We stayed in Tracey and David's lovely cottage in the grounds of their house.”

It was fitted out and furnished about a year ago to a really high standard. We had everything we needed. They made us feel at home; there was a very nice personal welcome pack and there is even one for dogs if you have them! We felt we could ask for help - though didn't need any - at any time. The garden is lovely to relax in and the countryside around is typical off-the-beaten track Dorset. Droop is a tiny hamlet (don't expect to find a Tesco down the road) but it doesn't take any time to get to attractive little villages or some of the more well known attractions of sea and countryside. We would definitely recommend this cottage

“Lovely country location although our sat nav sent us round in circles a couple of times.”

A great place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life for a few days. We loved the cottage. It has everything you need and the food gift on arrival was much appreciated. The marmalade made by the owners was delicious. The cheese festival nearby was well worth a visit. Superb local suppliers with lots to do for all the family. Would definitely recommend the cottage and location and will stay there again. (Warning - Don't rely on your sat nav.)

About the location

HAZELBURY BRYAN

Sherborne 10 miles; Yeovil 15 miles; Bournemouth 25 miles

A tranquil, rural village sat just outside of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Hazelbury Bryan is a small, traditional village with thatched buildings, a parish church dating back prior to the 15th century and a popular pub that was built in 1750, it also boasts a Spar shop. In the village there is also a field with cricket and football facilities as well as a children's play area. Hazelbury Bryan proves itself to be a great base for exploring the outdoors with the Dorset and Cranborne Chase Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty easily accessible, offering great opportunities for walkers and cyclists with great views to accompany it. The village is rather secluded, with the nearest well-stocked town being Sherborne 10 miles away, it offers a good selection of shops and places to eat. If you fancy a trip to the coast, visit Bournemouth around 25 miles south, a delightful town with so much to see and do.
