  • Quiet farm site surrounded by footpaths in the Dorset village of Ansty
  • Half an hour's drive from Weymouth, Poole and the Jurassic Coast
  • Farm shop on site; pub with food next door
They might not make beer at Brewery Farm, but this fab Dorset site serves up good times in grand surrounds, and there's a pub right next door for good measure… If you’re into history, there’s lots of it to be supped and savoured in the area; same goes for walks, beaches, boat rides… the whole lot of it easily accessible from a berth on this peaceful and friendly site. Facilities include a shop, selling the farm’s own produce; if you want to grill up an alfresco feast, go ahead – barbecues are permitted. The suitably ancient and rural inn over the road serves fresh locally sourced food as well, along with local ales to relax with at the end of a day of outings. Fancy exploring the area slowly? Ask the team to point you towards the network of country footpaths, through some of Dorset’s finest countryside.

What customers say

This cosy, quiet farm site gets shout-outs for spotless, toasty facilities & a well-stocked shop. Opposite is a popular pub. Folks love the views, peace & nearby walks. Some mention tight pitches & the odd toilet roll hiccup, but the top-notch owners sort it.

Liked Quiet rural location with beautiful views.
Pub with good food across the road.

Disliked We stayed here three years ago and really liked it. The excelent heated bathrooms were probably fairly new and really nice. Now the shine has worn off a bit. They weren't as clean as could have been and out of the three bathroom toilets two didn't flush properly. Overall the stay was still pleasant and food in pub is great. Just pity we didn't get same experience as before.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Peaceful location, had good toilet & shower facilities, pub opposite which served great beers & food, there was also a village post office & shop in the entrance way, it had a good selection of beers & food including frozen food.

Disliked It’s a bit out of the way, but it didn’t bother us that much, poorly sign posted, we went past it briefly, could do with a sign at the entrance, also, didn’t see anyone from the site, nobody there when we turned up or when we left, there were instructions to just pitch up & get on with it so to speak.

From the manager: Thankyou for the kind words from your stay with us, and its always great to hear that you made the most of the pub and shop on the doorstep. We are sorry that we weren't here to see you.

Liked The location and views were lovely, especially looking at the pigs and piglets. Washing facilities were great. Nicely stocked shop plus the pub so close. 5 toilets, 3 of which were wet rooms. Hook up and water supplies were great.

Disliked Toilet bins needed emptying and some general TLC required in the wet rooms, like descaling or changing the shower heads

Local attractions

If beaches are your bag, you’ve hit the big time here as the Jurassic Coast is studded not just with fossils but also sandy coves and rocky inlets: Lulworth Cove is a 40-minute drive away, and if you fancy something wilder, Winspit beach is accessible only by a footpath from Worth Matravers (45 minutes). Another fine way to explore the coast is to make for Weymouth or Poole, both half an hour away, for a boat cruise. Both towns are crammed with further family-friendly attractions including funfairs and an aquarium in Weymouth, and slides and chutes and waterfalls at Poole’s Splashdown waterpark. Monkey World and the Tank Museum are also around half an hour away. For an easy way to see the chalk hills and valleys of inland Dorset, take a seat on the Swanage Railway (50 minutes) for steam rides between the coast and Corfe Castle (40 minutes by car). The castle is well worth clambering over; if anyone’s missing the water, make for the nearby Dorset Waterpark for floating inflatable obstacle courses in a wooded lakeland setting. For another day out with a difference, the graceful residents of Abbotsbury Swannery (45 minutes) were once kept by local monks for the purposes of scoffing at banquets. You can now visit the country's only nesting colony of mute swans and feed them, as well as get lost in the maze, hurtle about the adventure playground and roam the nearby subtropical gardens.
