Top Places and Services in Affpuddle, Dorset

A great afternoon out having a tour and (very generous) tasting of the orchard's cider. Very friendly hosts. They also do pizza nights which sounded great!

Absolutely fantastic tour at the Dorset Star Orchard. The tour guide Richard was fantastic, the tour was informative and fun followed by lots of cider. Would thoroughly recommend!

Katherine was so helpful and lovely, delicious brownies (which i dropped on the floor so had to bin them,sad times)the cider and little basket of bread butter and some fruit was sweet and the milk was so nice and fresh, and the hot tub was amazing, there were a few things that let it down.they change you £30 for clearing but im guessing thats just the hut and tub as ALL the cutlery and plates needed to be washed ,the bed spread had 2 stains on it (looked like a paw print)the quilt cover was torn in two places so that wasn't great for the money you pay (it didnt bother us much,and would possibility go back)just a little side note a tea towel would have been great as had to use a hand towel .

Did a tour of the orchard, Richard was amazing, very knowledgeable regarding bees, the apples and history of the orchard. What an interesting man, farming, scientists and DJ! It was good value for the money. Cider tasting was included. The orchard also serve very tasty pizza’s .

Exceptionally friendly staff even showed us her dogs puppies , local cyder just the thing for a cool summer drink , we visited in early afternoon and it was a nice time to relax in the sun. They do barbecues as well and I would think it can be quite popular
The only thing is that if you didn't know it was there you would miss it completely, it needs signs desperately on the road, otherwise people would sorely miss out on such a gem of a place !!
