I have lived in Dorset most of my life and actually lived at Nutley farm as a child until it was compulsory purchased by a Government Organisation in 1960. Sadly the Farm was totally neglected and fell into a state of total disrepair. In 2001 we were lucky enough to be able to buy back Nutley and thereby began the project to bring it forward to the beautiful very special place it has become. It is now hoped that Nutley will pass on to future generations of my family. My daughter Lucie is already an essential part of the Nutley team. It is lovely to be able to welcome guests and share all there is to offer from carriage drives with ‘Ipon’ to walking with the Alpacas. The surrounding area and magical coastline is wonderful to explore. My mission is to help every visitor feel the benefit and relaxation from the Nutley experience. Over the last ten years we have proved this by the number of people who return every year The Cottages are set on Nutley Farm small-holding on Tadnol Heath Nature Reserve, near the quaint village of Winfrith Newburgh with it’s award winning traditional village shop. Tadnol Heath is an internationally important heathland and wetland is an iconic piece of Dorset landscape, divided by the Tadnoll Brook, a chalk stream tributary of the River Frome, and including part of Thomas Hardy's Egdon Heath. Home to a host of wildlife, including a number of rare heathland species. The nearest train station is in Moreton. You will need to get a taxi from the station to Nutley Farm.
