Welcome to Peckmoor Farm Lodges – A Tranquil Escape in the Heart of Nature.
Discover the perfect rural retreat at Peckmoor Farm Lodges, part of our prestigious Autograph Plus Lodge Holidays Collection and proud winner of Hoseasons’ ‘Best in Britain’ award for 2024. Nestled amidst the stunning natural beauty of Dorset’s countryside, this idyllic getaway invites you to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature. With 350 acres of serene rolling hills, enchanting woodlands, and abundant wildlife, your bespoke log cabin lodge offers a private haven of peace and luxury.
Situated on the picturesque Dorset/Somerset border, Peckmoor Farm is a working farm that exudes charm and authenticity. From friendly sheep and majestic horses to the real stars of the show – the beautiful Highland cows alongside Pygmy Goats, Emus, Alpacas, Donkeys, Giant Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Ducks, and Chickens, not forgetting Penny the Peahen – every moment here offers a chance to embrace the gentle rhythm of rural life.
Peckmoor Farm is also a haven for horse enthusiasts. As home to both a jumps trainer and a Point-to-Point trainer, the farm offers a unique opportunity to experience the excitement of the equestrian world. Guests can wander up the gallops in the morning to watch the horses at work, a truly breathtaking sight against the rolling countryside. For racing fans, the farm is ideally located close to two renowned National Hunt racecourses, Wincanton and Taunton, perfect for a thrilling day out.
Explore the farm’s scenic tracks, wander along tranquil rivers, or embark on local walking trails that range from leisurely strolls to adventurous rambles through the countryside. For added indulgence, treat yourself to an in-lodge beauty treatment or relaxing massage, available by request. And if you’re bringing your four-legged friend, they can enjoy a pampering session at Barking Barber Dog Grooming (by appointment) while you soak up the tranquillity of your surroundings.
Each lodge is thoughtfully designed for your comfort, blending indulgent home-like warmth with modern touches. Cosy up by the wood-burning stove or step outside to unwind in your covered private hot tub under a canopy of dazzling dark skies – the perfect way to end a day of adventure.
Beyond the farm, the iconic Jurassic Coast awaits with its dramatic cliffs, sandy coves, and world-famous fossil sites. Hike to the heights of Golden Cap, Ham Hill, or Pilsdon Pen for awe-inspiring views, or venture into the charming nearby towns of Crewkerne, Chard, and Lyme Regis to sample exceptional food, art, and culture. For city lovers, Exeter is a short drive away, offering a vibrant mix of historic attractions, river cruises, and shopping.
Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a blend of both, Peckmoor Farm Lodges promises an unforgettable escape where every moment feels magical – and with its ‘Best in Britain’ award, you can be assured of a truly extraordinary experience.
