  • Small family-run site on a working farm five miles from the coast
  • A 15-minute drive to Weymouth and 20 minutes to Monkey World
  • Suited to families, with spacious pitches and animals to meet
Looking for your fix of outdoor life with both a peaceful vibe and a good stack of facilities? Dewflock Farm is a working farm where families can have a safe, scenic setting from which to explore the Dorset countryside or zip down to the Jurassic Coast – or just stick around to watch the farm animals going about their business. This is a great base for visitors wanting to explore Dorset, as bus stops and bike routes are within a 10-minute walk. The shops, restaurants, bars, cinemas and museums of county town Dorchester are a five-minute drive away, and the splendid sands of Weymouth can be reached in about 15 minutes. Some other lovely beaches, such as Ringstead and Lulworth, are also within easy reach and worth exploring – the site team will happily point you in the right direction. The nearest supermarket is a two-minute drive away, but there's food even closer to hand too – the owners produce their own meat, which you can order to be delivered to your accommodation for a particularly fine dinner cooked up on your barbecue. No need to make such efforts in the morning, though – the site café is open for breakfast. Pizzas are also freshly made to order on selected evenings. As this is a working farm with livestock, unfortunately, dogs can't be permitted on site. There's also a train track in the distance, which may result in some background noise.

Route directions

From the Dorchester bypass, take the Weymouth exit and after 400 metres take the left turning, signposted Winterborne Herringston. You'll find Dewflock just after the bridge on the right. Drive over the watermeadows (avoiding any sleeping bulls on the track) and head to the farmhouse to meet the owners. Buses stop a 10-minute walk from the site, and two train stations are a five-minute drive away. Owners can pick you up from the station, please use the 'special requests' box on your booking form to inform them if you need a lift.

Local attractions

The farm is well-placed for trips the Jurassic Coast – you can’t really visit this part of the world without a bit of beach time, and there are some fab ones around including top fossil-hunting spots at Charmouth (40 minutes' drive) and Kimmeridge Bay (45 minutes). For some physical activity, saddle up at the region's various horse-riding centres, or go to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy at Portland (25 minutes), where there are plenty of courses available for all abilities. Need day trips to please both tiddlers and grownups? The Dinosaur Museum (10 minutes), SeaLife Centre Weymouth (15 minutes), Monkey World (20 minutes) and Tank Museum (25 minutes) should all fit the bill. Cinemas, gardens and a good clutch of places to shop, eat and drink are five minutes away in Dorchester.

What customers say

Chilled vibes, helpful staff, and a decent feed at the cafe. Kids loved the animals, and it's a handy spot for exploring. A few grumbles about toilet paper and soap, plus train noise and tunes sometimes. Washing up and kitchen access were a bit tricky for some, though management says it's sorted for busy periods.

Bell tent (classic)

Liked Dewflock has a great relaxed atmosphere, and the kids loved seeing the animals. It sounds like they put on some fab extras during the summer holidays, like the Landies and hay bale play, but none of that was available when we visited. The owners are lovely, and we enjoyed the cafe/bar on site.

Disliked It wasn’t quite the quiet, middle of nowhere farm visit we had anticipated. The camping field is right next to the train line, which our 3 year old loved but we were less keen on, and there were frequently sirens from the nearby main road. Additionally there was a DJ in the barn on our first night which could be heard from the far end of the camping field.
The facilities are also lacking. There are only two loos which frequently ran out of loo roll and hand soap. The only washing up facilities are some dirty animal troughs not fed from mains water. The only mains water tap is in the first field and has been encircled by a group for the start of our stay so that no one else could see it or use it. The blurb for the campsite mentioned use of a communal kitchen but we never found it - the only small shed it might have been in was always locked shut. This largely wouldn’t have been a problem if we’d have known as we would have brought more camping equipment. We tried to get breakfast at the cafe instead but this doesn’t open until 8am, which is too late for small kids.
