Perfect, great communication from moment of booking to depature, wonderful attention to detail made a few nights stay at The Dovecote a perfect post Christmas pre New Year tonic. Lovely walks in a calm setting. Very comfortable accomodation, everything we needed and more. Natalie gave us a warm welcome and made sure all was ok, and there at departure to wish us well. Wish we could have stayed longer but now found we will definately revisit when we need our batteries recharged! Lovely welcome basket included brownies to die for, handmade by Natalie using the farms duck eggs, wonderful! Many thanks for a perfect stay!

Everything about Upper Vobster is beautiful, nurturing and delightful. They have great taste and there were flowers everywhere.

I only stayed for one night but it was very comfortable indeed and could have stayed longer! The sounds of the sheep baaing this morning was idyllic! I will mention that I couldn't find a pole to close the blinds in the sky light so unfortunately I did wake at 5am with the sun.. is there a pole somewhere?!

Upper Vobster Farm is the best to book if you require tranquility in order to relax, recharge, and rejuvenate!
We stayed in the Dovecote- a light and well appointed room with the convenience of a kitchen to meet our requirements.
The grounds were amazing, with walking trails and an abundance of greenery and gorgeous flowers.
The staff were welcoming, greeted us warmly and checked in to see that everything was suffice.
A beautiful place to stay while traveling the countryside.

Our three night midweek stay was as beautiful as last year. Everything, and I literally mean EVERYTHING about the farm is simply stunning. Whether sitting outside in our private space enjoying a glass of wine while listening to the bird song and the incredible silence…..or our days out to local places such as Bath and Stonehenge…..it is a unique paradise hidden in the English countryside behind two unassuming grey gates.

As ever, congratulations and thank you for making our trip so memorable.

Nick & Michelle.

We had a fantastic stay at The Dovecote The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged with plenty of storage. The standard of accommodation and attention to detail was excellent. It was both luxurious and welcoming and the welcome basket is a lovely touch. The staff were extremely helpful and the location and surrounding countryside is superb. We had catering on our evening of arrival and during the workshop and the food was amazing. The workshop was excellent, really well run, informative and fun. We would definitely like to return at some stage.

This is the most beautiful location, tucked away in the middle of the countryside but feeling safe and secure. The accommodation was immaculate and the welcome pack of tea and coffee a nice gesture. Peaceful decor and everything in good condition. Beautiful white fluffy towels, only wish I was staying longer!

A weekend away at Upper Vobster Farm felt like so much more than a two night stay. We had all we needed and made full use of the gorgeous space to just rest and reset between visiting the surrounding area, its markets, galleries and gardens. The beds are super comfortable and the underfloor heating very inviting.

We stayed in the Dovecote for a week in early September 2022. The farm is owned by
Michael & Tricia who still have a very hands on interest in the day to day operation.

The room was absolutely beautiful, every detail has been considered to not only give you a wow
factor on arrival, but to keep you feeling relaxed, comfortable and happy during the holiday.

The staff are amazing. You can take part with activities such as daily feeds and goat
walking, or you may wish to just relax. We did a little of both and loved it.

I can truly say that Upper Vobster Farm as a whole is simply first class. I genuinely would
recommend it to anyone wishing to relax and enjoy superior quality and comfort. It is also
perfectly situated for days out. We visited Bath, Poole, Longleat & Salisbury during our stay.

Thanks so much for this beautiful place, we will return

I’ve known the area for a long time and was thrilled to find this lovely eco accommodation. There was a charger for my Tesla too. Everyone was friendly and helpful
