Nestled in the very heart of Hardy country beside Yellowham Wood, amid 120 acres of farmland and 130 acres of woodland, Yellowham Farmhouse offers peace, tranquility and cooked breakfasts using locally-sourced ingredients.

Containing an abundance of mature flora and fauna in an attractive 2 acre garden, the farm offers spacious and tastefully decorated ground floor rooms. When not taking in the local country air or exploring the numerous Dorset sights, you can relax with a book in the beautiful guest lounge or practice your tennis with complimentary use of the farm's own court. Dorchester is a happy example of a traditional county town with its bustling shopping precincts, elegant 18th century houses, broad walks and varied cultural life. With much to offer in relaxation and rural charm, there are many places of interest and beauty to visit nearby. Picturesque villages and old towns all featured in Thomas Hardy's novels, mingle amid largely unspoilt countryside.
