Excellent CL

This was our 2nd CL site, and has set the benchmark high for others to follow. We made a last minute booking on the day. Very good directions, great site, 10 minutes drvie from Sherborne. Peaceful, rural location. Lynn and John were very welcoming and friendly and provided helpful information on the area. We look forward to returning.

Immaculate and peaceful site

We have just spent 5 nights at Cherry Cottage CL. This lovely site has been on my wish list since 2019. The site is immaculate and really peaceful. Pre-arrival information was very comprehensive and really helpful. The information hut has a variety of laminated OS maps of local walks, games and a book exchange. Our hard standing pitch was level with EHU, water and grey waste into the hedge. There is a good dog walk field but dogs need to be on their lead. There is a washing machine, tumble dryer and toilet. Lynn popped down to welcome us and chatted about different places to visit but unfortunately the weather wasn’t great so we tended to just take the dogs for walks along the country lanes. I would definitely recommend Cherry Cottage 😊

My favorite so far!

Perfect CL, lovely owners, beautiful lawned site. The site is situated in Middlemarsh on a quiet country lane with few neighbours, giving you the peace and quiet needed for a wonderful break. The approach down the final lane is quite narrow near the CL entrance but if you follow Lynn's instructions (or the video on their website) you'll have no bother. We left Cherry Cottage today after a lovely 4 day stay. The site is great with nice level pitches, EHU & water to each pitch. They are well spaced and the whole property is immaculately kept, including the Elsan and recycling area. The site is between Dorchester and Sherborne with easy access off the main road with good entrance and security gating, then a short drive to the main area. It’s probably the best one we have stayed on and we have stayed on a few. The hosts Lynn and John are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The first two pitches are hard standing, and the remainder are grass pitches. As we own a dog, we made use of the excellent and well-maintained enclosed dog walk. There is a laundry room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge and also a unisex toilet which is kept very clean, also there is free Wi-Fi. Lynn has provided an information shed where you can find local tourist info, walking routes and swap books with other visitors as well as the bus timetables. The facilities were spot on and a very quiet location. From your pitch you can view gorgeous sunsets. Really nice setting with nice walk through fields to nearest pub which is also very friendly or a walk along country lanes to Round Chimneys Farm for an excellent farm shop and café. Lots of places to visit around the area but i would recommend Sherborne Abbey and town and also Dorchester with various National Trust properties in easy reach. we cannot wait to return to this wonderful site!

A little gem - perfect

What a little gem this site is. It’s probably the best one we have stayed on and we have stayed on numerous. The hosts Lynn and John are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. The site is very secure and kept immaculate. It felt homely from the moment we entered through the gate. There is a laundry room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge and also a unisex toilet which is kept very clean, plus an information shed where you can swop books. Also there is free Wi-Fi. There is also a lovely meadow which you can walk around. From your pitch you can view gorgeous sunsets. We loved the two small ponies and four sheep which included a gorgeous baby one which we nicknamed Little Jack. It is a very peaceful and relaxing site. We loved it. Ideally situated for touring Dorset. Would 100% recommend this site. 💕 Jenny and Alan Meredith

Perfect.

We stayed at Cherry Cottage CL for six days in June. What a fabulous site. Fully serviced pitches, electric meters, we were always well within the generous daily allowance. Excellent value for money. The site is beautifully kept, with two hardstanding pitches, the remainder being grass. There is secure entry and exit, and it is quiet and peaceful. We loved the dog walk which is a wildflower meadow,full of buttercups at the time, with a carefully mown path around the edge. Lynn and John are fabulous hosts. Nothing is too much trouble. Communication throughout was excellent. They are warm, welcoming lovely people. The site is perfectly situated to explore Dorset and there is plenty to do in the area.. We had a very busy six days, visiting some amazing and varied places. We rebooked for the same time next year the day after we returned home and we are looking forward to returning

Could not believe it the first time, so went back the second time, and now we are in the process of booking for the third visit, enough said.

What a fantastic owner. We had to contact Lynne prior to our visit as I am a disabled caravanner. Lynne was extremely helpful with our questions and went out of her way to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible. On our arrival we were allocated the nearest pitch to the facilities, which was a great help for us. What is even nicer is that you basically get a full service pitch for a CL pitch fee. The site is secure with a coded gate to the main property, then a short drive to the main area. The first two pitches are hard standing and the remainder are grass pitches. As we also own two small dogs, they made use of the excellent and well maintained enclosed dog walk. The site is well located to visit the coast, which we took advantage off on numerous occasions. Weymouth is worth a visit as it had good mobility access, not to mention the fish and chips, but watch out for the gulls. The site is also nicely located to some very good National Trust venues. If you enjoy some coastal and inland walks, I would recommend a visit to Durlston Castle and if you have difficulty with walking, they hire out a special off road mobility scooter at a very reasonable rate. A walk we completed on our last visit was from Studland to Old Harry, this has some spectacular coastal views along the route. There are so many interesting places within ease reach from the site that is the reason for our return visit. The local pub just up the road is also well worth a visit. We went on a Wednesday night which turned out to be bikers night, which suited me as an ex biker. But the pub, on top of it usual good menu put on pie night, these are all home cooked and extremely tasty. Then on Thursday night during the summer months, the ice cream van visits the site, my advice is go for the small offering as the ice cream amount is huge. The site itself has its own toilet and washing facilities which are always kept spotless and plus at a nominal cost the use of a washing machine and tumble dryer, again spotlessly clean. All in all the site is fantastic, and that is based on forty years of caravanning. Lynne is so pleasant and helpful, and will try her best to answer all questions and quires and offer suggestion on places to visit, so Lynne thank you so much.

Great site with fantastic owners. Highly recommended.

This was our first CL site we have stayed in and all I can say was amazing. Lynne was so nice and very helpful, which always makes a huge difference to us, nothing was too much trouble. The facilities were spot on and a very quiet location. It was below freezing when we stayed in January, on booking Lynne did mention water on the pitches could be frozen so may not be in use but offered an alternative to fill up on arrival and to be honest getting water was so easy even if the pitch supplies were frozen. Although we never tried the local pub or transport, both were close by, so maybe next time. My wife and I could find nothing to dislike about this site, so highly recommended and Thank you Lynne for making our booking, payment and overall stay a pleasure. Mark & Louise

One of the Best

Perfect CL, lovely owners, beautiful lawned site with two hard standings and three grass pitches. First time on a grass pitch that was perfectly level. All fully serviced with WiFi and good TV signal. Luxury of a toilet and washing machine as well. Easy access off the main road with good entrance and security gating. All set in a glorious peaceful countryside setting within easy reach of numerous local attractions and a short distance to the wonderful Dorset beaches. Why stay on a club site when you have all this for half this price.
