Jon Drake and family welcome you to Vale Farm in the heart of the beautiful Blackmore Vale. Our luxury 3 and 4 star barn conversions are set in outstanding countryside and the area has some of the most picturesque views and wonderful walks, described as "the prettiest pocket of Dorset". Vale Farm in the heart of Dorset
Stunning Views of the Blackmore Vale There are many lovely cycle routes and we are also close to a Golf Driving Range, a super sports centre, riding stables and two village shops/post offices, one with a delicious in-store bakery for freshly baked bread, croissants and pies.
With charming country pubs, fine restaurants, quaint tea rooms and many other attractions, too numerous to mention them all, we are an ideal touring base, whether you are an energetic family or simply want the peace and quiet that a holiday in Dorset brings. Gold Hill, Shaftesbury
