If we could give it 10 stars we would! The most peaceful and relaxing stay we have ever had. Steven is brilliant, just so nice and helpful, gave lots of personal recommendations for places to eat and visit ahead of our stay. You get a very warm welcome and immediately know you have made a great choice. The accomodation is to a very high standard, we had our best sleeps ever, a very comfortable bed indeed. The setting is delightful, I doubt you could find a better place to wind the days away or as a base for visiting the surrounding area. Ron & Michele

Charming place to stop, although parking limited to enjoy a 7km walk

We were made to feel very welcome in this lovely barn. Was everything and more than we expected. Especially the gardens and walks by the river. Ideally placed to travel and explore Dorset with good access to the places and friends we wanted to visit. Good selection of local pubs and restaurants- would recommend The Saxon Inn. Regarded this holiday as a taster and will certainly be back. Thank you, Steven & Georgina, for sharing your beautiful home.

Steven, I'd just like to say thank you for our lovely stay last week. We had a wonderful time in your beautiful accommodation. There was so much space both inside and outside the properties for three generations of a family to have a fun and relaxing stay. The decor and overall presentation of the property is beautiful and extremely high and as a very keen gardener and lover of nature I really appreciated your walled garden and the acres of meadow and riverside all around the property. .We would not hesitate to return.

We had a wonderful week's stay at the 'Appleyard.' From the initial booking through to the final departure, Steven, (the owner) provided excellent communication, including travel advice, inventory listings and advice on things to do and see in the locality. We were greeted by Steven on arrival who then gave a brief but very thorough run through of the abundant facilities. The description of the property was a true reflection of what we found, which is very tastefully decorated, well equipped and extremely comfortable and homely. (We especially appreciated the footstools where we could put our feet up in the evening after long and beautiful walks). The location is exceptionally quiet and tranquil, making it very easy to connect with the outdoors and nature, which all lent itself to a relaxing time to unwind and recharge our batteries. Without hesitation, we would visit again in the future, and would highly recommend Hammoon Manor.
