View on Google MapsPhoto: Holly Hedge Farm
Holly Hedge Farm sits within Bulbury Woods Golf Club's grounds near Poole, a rural base for exploring Dorset's coast and countryside. The property sleeps five across four bedrooms—a king, a double, and two singles (one designated for flexible sleeping)—with two bathrooms and a shower room. Downstairs, an open-plan living space centres on a wood burner, with a kitchen equipped for cooking from scratch, and direct access to an enclosed garden. The essentials are provided: heating, electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels, plus initial fuel for the burner.
The farm's appeal lies partly in its setting. A lake occupies part of the grounds, and four resident donkeys roam the property—part of the established character of the place rather than a surprise. For those with a golf interest, Bulbury Woods' tree-lined course is moments away by car. The Dorset coast lies within reach: Poole Harbour, claimed as the world's second-largest natural harbour, is about 15 minutes' drive, with daily trips to Brownsea Island; the Jurassic Coast landmarks of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are further afield. Local shops and pubs sit two miles away. Dogs are welcome and stay free, though they must remain on a lead in the grounds. The property is non-smoking throughout.

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.
