Holly Hedge Farm - Owl’s Roost
Dorset
View on Google MapsPhoto: Holly Hedge Farm
Bulbury Woods Golf Club is a minute's drive away, and the Jurassic Coast—Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, Lyme Regis—lies within an hour. Poole Harbour, claimed as the world's second largest natural harbour, is 15 minutes away and runs daily trips to Brownsea Island. Beaches sit 7 miles off, and local pubs and restaurants are 2 miles down the road. This gives Owl's Roost at Holly Hedge Farm real reach for exploring, yet it sits in farmland quiet enough that you can wind down properly between outings.
The cottage is a single ground-floor space: living area with woodburner and Freeview Smart TV, kitchen with gas oven and microwave, one bedroom with a kingsize bed, and a shower room. Essentials like bed linen, towels and wifi are included; heating and hot water run on oil and gas. There is parking for one car on site. One dog stays free, and must be kept on a lead. No smoking indoors. The enclosed front garden has furniture for sitting out, and the wider farm is home to four resident donkeys—a genuinely distinctive feature of staying here rather than anywhere else.
This works well for couples after a weekend away, or anyone wanting a simple base without fuss or shared facilities. The setup suits those who plan to be out during the day exploring the coast or the golf course, and content to return to a comfortable, straightforward place to rest.

What guests say
We stayed at Holly Hedge Farm recently to see family . We have stayed here many times and always find the cottages very comfortable, well equipped and a very tranquil environment. One of our favourite places to visit is Studland bay. We love the donkeys as does our little dog and were delighted to meet the new additions. Mark and Julie as always excellent hosts we love it here and plan to visit again next year.

We were looking to rent accommodation for our daughter's in - laws. She got married last year in South Korea (which is where they are from). Holly Hedge Farm was recommended to us from Bulbury Golf club which was where we held her wedding blessing. The cottages were right next door to the venue. The cottages are well equipped, clean, bright and airy. each cottage has it's own private area to sit out in. The owners Julie and Mark were friendly, approachable and nothing seemed to much trouble. There are 4 donkeys at the end of the drive which wowed the Korean family and excitement for our daughters bridesmaids and groomsmen who all came to the cottages to get ready for the wedding day. They could not get over have tranquil the setting was given there is a golf course right next door. in the evening you could see the stars as there are no street lights to pollute the sky so the Koreans enjoyed that as well. I have no hesitation in recommending Holly Hedge Farm Cottages to anybody. Thank you Julie and Mark for a truly wonderful, and happy time that we spent at your fantastic cottages. With our best wishes for the future Mrs P Woodworh

Stayed at Owls Roost cottage for a week from 24 May 2026 and were very lucky with the weather. Found lots of interesting walks nearby and further away. The cottage was an ideal base and Julie and Mark were both welcoming and friendly. The cottage was clean, well fitted out and very comfortable. Found good food at nearby Chequers Inn and great walks at Lulworth, Arne, Kimmerage, The Blue Pool, Durlston Head, Wareham, Dorchester and Ringstead. Forest on Morden Road was a great nearby dog walk. Would certainly try booking next time we are in Dorset.

Another stay for us in Robins Nest - Holly Hedge Farm. Such a lovely holiday. A great large and open space - fantastic for my two children. Julie and Mark are excellent hosts. The cottage was very clean with a lovely fire. Beds are great - such a good night sleep. Definitely booking again.
