Eggs Benedict and English tea - match made in foodie heaven! We stopped by this cute little place…read morewhile waiting for Corfe Castle to open up. The place was empty when we visited and I was a little worried about the kind of food I was about to get. My eggs were yummy though - delicious poached eggs on perfectly pock-marked english muffins and some strong english tea. The place is steeped in old british history and seems like I stepped into someone's living room from the 1800's really. They are an inn too, so we some patrons come down for breakfast from their rooms during our visit too. I would love to come back!

This is a very characterful 15th Century Inn and the rooms are appropriately quirky. My single room…read morewasn't en-suite but did have a shower. I was very pleased to find the hotel has free wifi for guests and the real ale in the bar was very well kept. I had a nice starter and a butternut squash and goats cheese risotto in the restaurant and enjoyed the food very much. As this Inn is right in the middle of Corfe it is ideal for exploring the beautiful castle which is just outside the pub and rises over the garden of the inn.

Other than the castle, the village itself has a very inviting feel about it. You enter the castle…read morefrom the little square where there are a few shops and a monument in the middle. The square is very small! I don't know; I just found the place really calm and peaceful - most likely not this way during the tourist season but on a cold wet November late afternoon the atmosphere was at its best. The village isn't very big, so worth a little wander around and perhaps a stop in a pub and some of the shops.

Such a beautiful village - it hasn't changed much since I used to visit it over 40 years ago. The…read moreCastle is always worth a visit - you get in free if you're a National Trust member, and the parking at the visitor centre at the entrance to the village is also free to members. Try getting there early-morning before the crowds. Interesting little shops and the National Trust Tea Rooms does the best cream tea ever - sit in their garden overlooking the Castle. There's also a model village. The steam train runs from the Park & Ride at Norden (just before Corfe Castle village), stops at the village before chugging through the Purbecks onto Swanage. A good day's fun!

This B&B is amazing. Hospitality was fantastic and the breakfast was absolutely delicious :) The…read morerooms were really comfy and the surroundings were just perfect. There's lots for everyone to do in the village and nearby towns and villages, especially for children and couples. I strongly recommend this B&B to everyone visiting the Purbecks :)

I have stayed at this B & B for many years. The most recent being April 2011…read more I have found the accommodation excellent, always very clean and tidy. The landlady is always very friendly, helpful and efficient, providing a welcoming, peaceful and comfortable environment. Breakfast is always on time and very filling. Parking area is good. Great location for walking and exploring the surrounding area. Very good indeed and great value for money. Highly recommended. I always look forward to returning, which I will do several times later in the year.

My wife and I spent three nights and four days here in August 2010. It has to be one of the best…read moreB&B's we have ever found. It deserves all five stars as Yvonne and Ray, the owners, have accommodation to offer that is as good, if not better, than any 5* hotel. The rooms are very spacious, are full en-suite and spotless. Parking is safe and free and there is a free wifi internet service available. Situated in an exclusive avenue that leads to a cul de sac ensured that our sleep was undisturbed and as for the breakfasts - they exceeded all expectations in both choice and quality. This would be a good base to explore the Jurassic coast from, whether by bus or car. There is a steam railway to Swannage from where you can take an open topped bus tour to Bournemouth. There is excellent walking in all directions from the castle and there is good eating in the village. We will certainly return.

Lovely place, lovely setting, although quite tragic that this place was blown up in the first place…read more- and it wasn't even during a war! Well, not a real one anyway. We went to something that was rather grandly called a 'food festival' in the grounds - 10 'tents' selling jams, preserves, beer and sausages, but it was really cool and didn't really need to be bigger than this for a country 'festival'. The National Trust have done a great job in maintaining the area and keeping the history of the castle alive, it looks so great just sat on the top of the hill and the surrounding town/village is beautiful too.

There are lots of Featherdown Farms in the UK; this one is Knaveswell Farm in Dorset. THey are…read moreholiday cabins for adventurous families set on real working farms; this is a dairy farm so you can get to see the herds being milked - a real eye opener for urban kids. The cabins themselves are fantastic. They are basically very very posh tents - wooden structure, concrete foudnations, but canvas walls and roof - they feel more like something you would find in a colonial tented camp. There is running water and a wood burning stove in each tent, but you have to use gas lights as there is no electicity. Working loo in each tent too. My son was three when we went and he loved it - you can collect eggs from teh chickens each day, go walking in the fields, the beach is not far, and then there is the fab COrfe Castle - great for a game of hide and seek. My only complaint was that it RAINED constantly, which was a pain. And that all the other cabins were booked by people who knew each other, so my hope that my son would be able to make friends for the holiday was dashed - they were much older than him. Apart from that a great place for a family holiday - cheaper than hotels too.
