We had the most incredible stay at Coast & Canopy Treehouse. It’s difficult to put into words how unique and special this place is, I’m not sure words and pictures can really do it justice.

When we arrived, we were greeted by Brad, the creator of the treehouse. It was an absolute pleasure talking to Brad and being able to ask a million questions about the home he created. Despite being incredibly modest about his creation, it was impossible to ignore the level of care and the attention to detail that Brad had invested in building the treehouse.

Our stay was faultless, from the wonderfully comfortable bed and sofa to the luxurious bath and carefully selected mod-cons, we found hard to imagine leaving.. hence why we extended our stay the day after we arrived!

The location of the treehouse itself is so perfect - you feel fully disconnected from the outside world whilst feeling perfectly connected to nature. Waking up to the view of the antient oak trees and sound of birds and animals on the farm feels so wonderful. Almost by design, there’s an ever so gentle feeling of movement at times, just enough to remind you that you’re totally connected to the natural world.

We can’t recommend this place highly enough - it’s one of a kind and we feel so lucky to have found it. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful farmhouse cottage with a touch of luxury and a wonderful Aga giving a lovely cosy feeling, welcoming you back home. The kids loved all the animals especially the amazingly friendly pigmy goats. They looked forward to feeding them everyday and collecting the chicken eggs. Superb spot to stay while visiting the area. Excellent experienced hosts who know how to give you the space and privacy you need while looking after every detail for the perfect stay.
Quick recommendation for Felicity’s farm shop 5 mins down the road for tasty supplies and incredibly smooth local ice cream (Baboo) with a great view of the sea.

We stayed at Hogchester in March 2022. We came as a family of four with children aged 3 and 1 (nearly 2). It couldn’t have been better. The accommodation was clean, and to a really good standard and the perfect size for us to seamlessly fit into. The kids loved going to see the chickens and the goats which were pretty much on our doorstep, taking much enjoyment from collecting fresh eggs for breakfast. Rob gave us a farm tour on his buggy which was a memorable experience for me as well as the kids. He was a great host. The peace and tranquility, relaxed nature and overall charm of the place will long live in our memories and it was hard coming back to London. One of the best places we’ve stayed. Thanks Rob.

We were not only lucky enough to catch some amazing weather during our holiday in Dorset but we also found a real gem to stay in. Hogchester Farm is an idyllic, picture perfect place to call home while you visit the area. The cottage is incredibly cosy, comfortable and clean, with tasteful decor and enchanting views from every window.

Everything you could need is at hand and our hosts Rob and Chantal, couldn't be more helpful or hospitable. We were made to feel incredibly welcome and the basket of gifts and treats on arrival were such a wonderful touch after a long drive. With a one-year-old baby in tow, we wanted to stay somewhere that was safe and friendly for a little toddling human. Hogchester addressed everything we required and it was bliss to be able to relax knowing that we had various high-quality equipment at our disposal.

The three of us loved meeting and helping to feed the resident pygmy goats, who were delightful and very comical. We also enjoyed collecting fresh eggs from the hens - they made the tastiest scrambled eggs! We would absolutely recommend Hogchester and we wish Rob and Chantal all the best with their inspiring projects.

We had a superb time at Hogchester with our 5yr old daughter and 2yr old son. Chantal, Rob and family very welcoming into their wonderful farm. We spent 50% of our time on the farm and the remaining 50% no more than 5km away. Just what we were looking for in our hols. Highlights on the farm: boating on the pond fishing fir tadpoles; feeding the goats; collecting eggs and feeding the chickens; top field deck chair relaxing; fun on the rope swing; helping to catch escaped lambs! We were delighted to be hooked up with the lovely Carolyn for childcare too. First place we have ever come away from and said "we'll deco go back" excited to see how the nature reserve progresses. A real Dorset treasure

A very beautiful place to spend time. We've had several family trips to Hogchester and both adults and children alike have had a wonderful time. Rob and Chantal are the perfect hosts and are infectious in their enthusiasm for their Hogchester project. Highly recommended

We had an amazing time over October half term. Hogchester is a gem of a place and Rob and family provided us with way more than just a holiday cottage on a farm. A place to put your feet up and unwind or muck in and help out with some farm activities, it's up to you! We''ll definitely go back.
