What guests say: “Lady Betty was the perfect place to spend a relaxing long weekend. Within easy driving distance from London, close to the beautiful Dorset coast and remote enough to feel really cut off from the world for a few days. The hut itself was perfect for a few days relaxing – the BBQ/fire pit was a great way to cook, star gazing from the hot tub was magical, and of course the breathtaking views across the rolling hills from the terrace. Lovely country walks with perfect pit stops at pubs along the way made the weekend absolutely perfect. The farm itself is lovely to take a walk around and the cutting garden and honesty shop contained some great additions to our country feast!”

Bucket list perfection.”
