A traditional country house experience with plenty of space for big family get-togethers, on a very old estate with fascinating gardens

This 'royal house' declared itself for the King in 1660, but its roots are even older. Find leaded windows, flagstone floors and big old fireplaces, a library stuffed with books, a very comfortable sitting room and a family kitchen. A welcome hamper is filled with Dorset treats.

Delight in the gardens across the road at any time of year, with a mile long trail through a unique collection of Himalayan Rhododendrons and Azaleas, small lakes and waterfalls and plenty of places to sit. There's a village shop in Cerne Abbas for stocking up and plenty of farm shops nearby. Drop in to one of three pubs in the village including The Giant Inn, for handcrafted local ales.

Walk through the valley and up into the hills, say hello to his nibs The Giant, then come back down the other side.
