Mount Pleasant Farm

Beautiful farm nestled in the undulating Dorset countryside. Endless views across lush fields and meadows. Very friendly hosts Mike and Anna made us feel welcome, showed us around their farm visiting their sheep, pigs, cows and horses. The location works perfectly for visits to the seaside as well as local National Trust properties. Perfect retreat to switch off and really unwind.

Mount pleasant farm was beautiful and so peaceful and Mike and Anna were so welcoming and friendly. The kids loved being able to feed the baby lambs and help around the farmBut I do have to mention the wood burning stove - we’re stove owners and experienced in general with fires. We had to spend hours every day trying to keep a fire alive in the stove. Even after it had been burning for 3+ hours there wasn’t enough heat being emitted to boil water or warm the room. Every other tent was having similar problems.

Mount Pleasant is a beautiful, peaceful location with nothing but fields to be seen all around. It was so nice to be able to purchase produce raised on the farm (delicious beef). The family were very welcoming and pizza night in particular was a hit! Great weekend escape.

Totally loved Mount Pleasant farm as a getaway with our family and some friends. The location is beautiful, a calm, serene place with lovely views. This was our first time doing a rustic glam ping experience and I was a little worried as we had a 11 week old baby but it didn’t disappoint. The size of the cabins are great, the hot water shower is a perfect luxury and the beds were ever so comfortable! Our 3 year old son absolutely loved it and it was so amazing to be able to let him run around and jump on the hay barrels, visit the farm yard and be able to run free. The honesty shop is an excellent essential for anything you may have forgotten. The wood fire in the evening makes the cabin so cozy and the BBQ’s are brilliant. I would recommend hiring a camping stove or bringing your own to help speed up any cooking as the stove can take sometime. I would definitely do the farm tour as it’s so insightful to hear and see the workings of a true farm. Definitely do the pizzas as they were delicious and a brilliant activity for kids. Farmer Mike and Anna were so helpful and I would totally recommend Mount Pleasant farm. We will definitely come back again!

Absolutely beautiful, secluded location in Dorset. Only 5 tents so feels very quiet with plenty of space for the children to run around, play cricket and football and they were free to visit the chickens, pigs and lambs whenever they wanted. The farmer took them to feed the cows as well. We visited beautiful Lulworth Cove and walked at Bulbarrow Hill, ate at the Lulworth Cove Inn and The Fox Inn at Ansty, both were very good. Would highly recommend Mount Pleasant Farm!

Despite the rain, everything was perfect and we had a wonderful few days! The place was spotless, the kitchen had everything we needed to rustle up a paella on the wood stove. Candles and lamps made for very cosy evenings inside our lodge. The views are also spectacular and my daughter adored the horses (although we had to admire them from afar at this time). I’ve heard lots of great things about this place from friends and it really didn’t disappoint. I noticed a couple of bad reviews from last month and all I will say is, that seems very unfair, given these are extremely tricky times and the hosts are clearly doing everything they can to keep things as normal as possible. They are doing a great job! We will be back :)
