Top Builders & Handyman Services in Thorncombe, Dorset

We spent 10 nights in the Mukota tent and absolutely loved it. The tent has everything you need (excellent beds and luxurious bathroom), beautiful views and lots of privacy. The kids loved playing in the brook, cuddling the dogs, and visiting the pigs. Clive and Carolyn are wonderful hosts and their daughters now run a lovely cafe with fresh food and great coffee. We will def be back and I could not recommend the place more!

Amazing staff. Such a warm family and so welcoming. We stayed in Piglet as a couple and it has everything that you might need. The grounds are beautiful. The cafe on site is wonderful too for a break in cooking or just for a good coffee! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We have just returned from a week at Black Pig Retreat. I went with my sister and our families and the kids loved the open space and freedom and we loved the wonderful safari tent accommodation especially sitting round the fire pit and the comfy beds with warm duvets. Carolyn and Clive were so helpful and friendly going out of their way to ensure we were happy. Thank you for a memorable holiday.

Excellent stay at Black Pig Retreats! The safari tents are amazing - spacious with comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen and bathroom. Seems an understatement to call it glamping as it's so spectacular :) Carolyn is fantastic - knowledgeable, responsive, helpful. She's thought of everything to make your stay wonderful. Booking was very easy and she's gone to great lengths to ensure everyone's safety while still managing to make us feel welcome and looked after during these social distancing times. We don't have a car (took the train to Gillingham Dorset, then 10 minute taxi ride from station to Black Pig) so we had Tesco deliver groceries right to the car park at Black Pig and rented bikes through the nearby Exmoor Adventures to get around (great experience with them, too!). It felt great to come back to the luxurious safari tents at the end of the day for a shower, campfire and good night's sleep. Highly recommend!

Wonderful location on a working farm. Very peaceful and we particularly enjoyed taking our five year old on evening walks by the fields and stream. Excellent location to explore Shaftesbury, Stonehenge and Longleat. The tents are of exceptional quality. Be warned that there is a short walk from car park to tent so best to travel light! The info video was very helpful. Only lost one star on the Service because the security deposit came as a bit of a surprise at the end of the booking process and felt quite high - I completely understand why they might need one though, and the full amount was returned to my credit card within a week of the trip. All in all, would definitely recommend.
