The Farm

The cottages are owned and run by D.Dalton and Son Limited, a family run farming company. We have lived and farmed in Dorset for four generations. I am married to a member of the fourth generation, Sam (the arable farm manager) and we live at Manor Farm with our two children, Herbie (age 6) and Pippa (age 4) who are members of the ever increasing fifth generation. We also have naughty terrier called Sprout and a mad spaniel called Margot.

 

The company comprises four separate working farms being two dairies, one equestrian/solar farm and this arable farm.

 

Here at Manor Farm, Pimperne we grow wheat, barley and oil seed rape. You may well see tractors going about their work in the fields and during July and August the combine harvester is at work bringing in the crops from the fields.

 

We absolutely love what we do here on the farm and are always happy to answer any questions or talk about the farm so please do ask!

Happy guests
“'Hi Anna  - just to thank you so much for our fantastic weekend in your cottages.  We had a great time – the accommodation contained all of us + the dogs; the food on our first night was delicious; our second night which was the celebration for John’s 70th went so well with a table that could fit 20 of us and then the sitting room area where we could hold our ‘performances’ and quiz for him – many lovely memories. I love that part of Dorset – I was brought up in Salisbury with grandparents in Bournemouth and aunt, uncle, cousins in Southampton, so it all felt very familiar. We would love to come back one day – everyone thought it was great.  I’ll put something on TripAdviser. Good to meet you albeit briefly.  Hope we left everything in good order. Best wishes Ro and family'”

“An absolutely fantastic holiday property. The perfect size and layout for 18 people.   Highly recommend having an evening meal made for you by Anna. Plenty enough to go around and to a high standard. Made life so much easier!!   Everyone enjoyed their time. This place is definitely one to stay at”

“Lovely cottages, we had a brilliant holiday. You could easily have 20 adults and have plenty of space inside and out. The local pub, The Anvil was a 40 minute stroll, you could go cross country or road, decent food and the staff very proactive with Covid precautions. Cottages all clean on arrival, with Covid paperwork. Felt clean, safe and welcoming. This property is rural and on a working farm which was lovely and well kept. Lots to do locally, cider farm, brewery in Blandford, National Trust properties and lots more - really good location. I would recommend this property and hope to return. ”
