October 2024

“Fabulous gem, off the beaten path but very well suited for our visit to Dorset.”

Clean, very comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, plenty of blankets and games to rest by the fire. From this location we saw Durdle Door, Portland, Old Bill of Portland, Tank Museum, went clay pigeon shooting in Purbeck, visited Weymouth and Nothe Fort, had a Land Rover 'Safari' tour on the Isle of Purbeck and enjoyed a lovely meal at The Thimble Inn. Would absolutely recommend. Many thanks, The Holman Family.

Robert October 2024

“A stunning cottage which has everything needed to make for a highly enjoyable stay.”

The owners are very friendly and helpful without being intrusive - the cottage is very private. It is spotlessly clean and maintained to the highest standards, with high quality furnishings and equipment. It is also very quiet. Within easy reach of many attractions as well as coastal walks, it makes for a great place for a holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Philip September 2024

“This is a lovely place to stay in quiet, peaceful surroundings.”

Emma was there to greet us when we arrived and there was a welcome pack in the kitchen. There is a great village pub half a mile down the road that serves excellent food. Burton Bradstock is a really nice seaside village 20 miles away. We would love to stay here again, cannot fault in any way.

- Philip, September 2024

So happy you had a lovely stay. We hope we can welcome you back again. Kind regards, Emma. Property Manager Property Owner

Janet August 2024

“The Coach House at Lackington Farm is set in countryside so perfect it makes normal rural settings look untidy and dull, not a blade of grass out of place.”

The house itself matches this incredible scenery and makes you feel right at home. The accommodation, though compact but not small, works incredibly well and provides a comfortable and central base from which to explore the surrounding area. We were impressed with the roads giving easy access whether it's Cerne Abbas, Sherbourne or Dorchester, Weymouth and many other destinations within a 30 minutes drive; the Tank Museum is a real blast. Anyway, The Coach House is highly recommended and we thank Emma, who has an eye for the details that makes you feels spoilt and is all the difference between a great holiday and one that is molto bellissimo.

- Janet, August 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope we can welcome you back next year, with more beautiful sunshine. It was lovely to meet you both and hope your drive home went smoothly. Kindest regards, Emma. Property Manager Property Owner
Tina August 2024

“Very well presented with lots of personal touches.”

Very practical and delicious 'Welcome Tray' with lovely cake and local honey. Enjoyed the patio with comfortable seats/cushions. Very clean, parking excellent right outside the door and location good for visiting local area attractions. Owners friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. The Thimble is a popular good pub serving food within walking distance.

- Tina, August 2024

Lovely to meet you and so glad you enjoyed everything about the Coach House and beautiful Dorset. Best wishes, Emma Property Manager Property Owner

Elizabeth July 2024

“The Coach House at Lackington Farm is perfect!”

Everything is of an extremely high quality including all the soft furnishings and added extras that some holiday cottages lack. There is everything you need for a very comfortable holiday. The bonus for us was the solitude, the only sound we heard were the sheep in the field! It is perfectly situated for the Jurassic coast and also many lovely towns like Dorchester and Sherborne. We met Emma who owns the property with her husband Andrew and she couldn't have been more helpful. The blueberry jam they make is amazing. All in all the best place we've ever stayed and will definitely stay there again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Elizabeth, July 2024

Thank you for staying at the Coach House. We are absolutely delighted you enjoyed your week with us, the sheep are very entertaining! We hope we can welcome you back very soon and thank you for leaving such a lovely review. Kind regards, Emma Property Manager. Property Owner
Michael June 2024

“The property is situated in a lovely peaceful village setting with easy road access to inland locations of interest and magnificent coastline attractions nearby.”

The owners who live on-site were very pleasant and welcoming and presented the property in perfect condition and very well stocked....a real home from home in terms of comfort and quality. Highly recommended and would not hesitate to book again if re-visiting the Dorset area.

- Michael, June 2024

Thank you Mike for your lovely comments. It was lovely to meet you both and we very much hope we can welcome you back to The Coach House and beautiful Dorset. Best wishes, Emma Property Manager. Property Owner

Gary May 2024

“The Coach House at Lackington Farm is a real gem.”

The cottage is immaculately presented, and set in a beautiful part of Dorset, in the village of Piddletrenthide. There are lots of places to visit within a short drive, such as Weymouth, Sherborne , Lyme Regis & Dorchester. All are worth a visit. The hosts, Emma & Andy are so friendly, and make you feel right at home. All the furniture and fittings are top-notch, and the cottage is scrupulously clean. The local pub ( about a mile down the road) is second to none, and does great food. It is a thatched building, and is so picturesque. It also has a beer garden, and an excellent selection of ales. A visit here is a must. This was our second visit, and before leaving we re-booked for next year! Would thoroughly recommend this property. Fabulous! Gary & Julie Watson.

- Gary, May 2024

It was so lovely to welcome you both back to the Coach House, and thank you for your kind words in your review. We look forward to welcoming you back in 2025. Kind regards, Emma. Property Manager. Property Owner
Sabine May 2024

“The Coach House is very elegant, unusual and comfortably furnished - just as described at Sykes Cottages.”

You can spend pleasant hours on the sun terrace. The location is ideal for exploring the sightseeings of Dorset including the Jurassic Coast. A cottage that leaves almost nothing to be desired. For visitors from overseas, it would be perfect if the kitchen had little things like a little vinegar and oil or kitchen roll - everything that is difficult to transport by plane and cannot be bought in small quantities.

- Sabine, May 2024

Thank you for visiting the Coach House and beautiful Dorset. We hope you will return and I appreciate your feedback. Kind regards, Emma Property Manager. Property Owner
Dianne Margaret May 2024

“An absolutely beautiful cottage which is like a home from home.”

It has everything you need and is in a perfect spot for peace and relaxation but also close enough to access for all that Dorset has to offer.

- Dianne Margaret, May 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed the Coach House and beautiful Dorset. Regards, Emma. Property Manager. Property Owner
Amanda April 2024

“This was our second stay at The Coach House, and still perfect as the first time.”

The accommodation has everything you need ,plus the added extra's left out for our arrival, (much appreciated) for a wonderful relaxing time Emma and Andy were great hosts. We will return.

- Amanda, April 2024

It was lovely to welcome you back to the Coach House. So happy you enjoyed Dorset again! Kind regards, Emma. Property Owner
Eleanor April 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the Coach House.”

Emma and Andy were so welcoming and left us a lovely welcome basket, which was a nice treat! The cottage is very comfortable and beautifully furnished. The location is great - only about 10 minutes from Dorchester and 30 from Weymouth, so perfect for exploring. A brilliant local pub is also an excellent bonus! Thanks for a lovely week!

- Eleanor, April 2024

Thank you for taking time to leave a review. Happy you enjoyed beautiful Dorset and the Coach House. Emma Property Owner
Ruth March 2024

“A beautifully maintained property with comfy beds and a friendly owner.”

Perfectly located to see all the wonderful things Dorset has to offer with the bonus of an excellent pub just down the road. The kitchen was well equipped for self catering and the welcome hamper meant we didn't need to head out for the essentials on the first night. The sofas were comfy and the log burner made for cosy evenings. The little touches - maps, books of walks, blankets, picnic hamper meant you felt like you were really being spoilt. The only slight negative for us was the shower, which wasn't as powerful as we'd like - being in a hard water area I can imagine this is a never ending battle with limescale. We mentioned it to Emma on leaving the property and I'm sure it will be descaled for the next guests. Thank you Emma for being so welcoming, we'd love to return.

- Ruth, March 2024

Sounds like you really enjoyed all that Dorset has to offer, and you found the Coach House extremely comfortable. It’s a shame you didn’t pop round or drop me a message regarding the shower head as it was a quick fix. We’re glad you had a lovely holiday. Best wishes, Emma, Property Owner
Brian March 2024

“We have stayed in many cottages over the years but The Coach House has to be at top of the best for all the reasons ticked above.”

The owners are a great couple with a warm welcome and departure. Our special thanks to Emma and co. for making our stay so pleasant. Brian and Doreen Davison

- Brian, March 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback and thank you card. We very much enjoyed meeting you both and look forward to welcoming you back to the Coach House. So happy you managed some beautiful local spring walks. Best wishes, Emma. Property Owner
Sara December 2023

“Emma greeted us with a warm welcome and showed us all the Coach House had to ...”

Emma greeted us with a warm welcome and showed us all the Coach House had to offer The personal touches of a Christmas tree, home made Christmas cake, home made blackberry jam (both delicious), tin of tea, chocolates and a pint of milk in the fridge was an excellent start our stay There was a folder with all the information needed to operate all the different gadgets and recommendations of places to visit and eat out which was useful The Coach House was tastefully decorated and the kitchen was fitted out with high quality equipment We really enjoyed relaxing in front of the log burner after being blown about in the gales and rain that we experienced, but that was soon forgotten in the cosy environment Due to the inclement weather we were unable to enjoy the outside sitting area which was a shame as it would have been great to have star watched in the lovely space We appreciated the large soft fluffy Egyptian towels that had been left for us to use And we liked the quirkiness of the upside down house where we went downstairs to bed which we found to be comfortable We even were treated to an owl hooting to us one morning - which was fab to hear Thank you Emma The Coach House was perfect for our stay And we would recommend a visit to the beautiful Dorset and the cosy welcoming Coach House at Lackington Farm

- Sara, December 2023

Thank you for leaving such lovely feedback reflecting your stay with us over Christmas. I’m absolutely delighted you had an enjoyable stay in between the weather! We very much look forward to welcoming you back to the Coach House. Happy New Year. Kind regards, Emma. Property Owner
Victoria December 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at The Coach House.”

The cottage is beautiful with every attention to detail; comfy beds and sofas, well equipped kitchen with beautiful crockery, wood burner, cosy blankets. There is a beautiful uncluttered simplicity to the house. We appreciated the many thoughtful touches including the arrival treats. Emma let us know that she was available if we had any needs and she and her family welcomed us warmly. It is a peaceful location with lovely walks from the front door. We loved hearing the sound of the tawny owl in the tree outside our bedrooms at night. My only advice is to bring wellies if visiting at this time of year. The area was wet and muddy but for us that only only added to the fun! Highly recommend this place and the award they have won is well deserved. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

- Victoria, December 2023

Thank you for your lovely comments about the Coach House. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We very much look forward to welcoming you back. Emma & Andy Property Owner

“Emma was very welcoming, with some good tips for visiting Sherborne town and Abbey, also the Thimble Inn, which was fab!”

The Coach house has everything you need for a comfy stay. Well equipped kitchen, including cleaning products and plenty of cooking equipment and all important a good quality cooker/hob and washer/drier. Comfy sofas in the living room/dining room and more importantly comfy beds! Plenty of towels in the shower room, and all the little extras. Plenty of outdoor seating, if you get good weather!

Howard September 2023

“Emma, the owner, welcomed us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property which was a really nice introduction.”

The coach house has plenty of character and has been very well finished to make it feel stylish and functional. It was very peaceful sitting in the patio area at night looking at the stars and hearing owls hooting. At the end of our stay my wife had lost an earring and Emma said she would look for it when they cleaned for the next visitors. Luckily she found it and posted it to us. Great service. Thanks for a lovely stay.

- Howard, September 2023

Thank you for your kind comments and I’m so happy I found the missing earring! The sun certainly came out for your weeks stay. We look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Emma. Property Owner

“A delightful stay in this beautiful, quiet, comfortable location.”

The property is in an excellent location, both tranquil and peaceful but near enough to amenities that you may need during your holiday. The Coach House exceeded our expectations from the old to the new. It was very comfortable clean, well equipped. Well presented with little touches like the welcome tray on arrival which after along drive was well received. Emma the host was very warm and welcoming and the information pack was very detailed, with lots of recommendations to visit and eat. Fully recommend The Thimble Inn for ambience, character and charm.

Marilyn April 2023

“The coach house is a beautifully appointed home from home set in idyllic surroundings with only the bird song to disturb your peace.”

Emma and Andy were perfect hosts and couldn’t have been kinder or more willing to help if we needed it. The weather wasn’t all that good whilst we were there, but on a couple of days we were actually content just to chill out, eat, read, and watch tv. The private patio at the back was wonderful - I’m only sad that we didn’t get to use it! Came home feeling thoroughly refreshed. Can highly recommend this holiday home.

- Marilyn, April 2023

Emma is a friendly, helpful hostess. The property has just been completely renovated and is extremely comfortable making it one of the best self catering places I have stayed in.

Emma could not do enough for us. The place is spotlessly clean with a lovely patio to the rear. The Coach House is situated in a beautiful and quiet little hamlet with The Thimble Inn within walking distance that serves excellent food. The Coach House location is close to many great attractions. In fact too many to do in a week so a return is a must.

Ivor August 2022

“The Coach House is absolutely superb for a quiet country retreat.”

Emma is a warm and welcoming host and has provided for her guests facilities that are top quality and luxurious. The cottage includes a terrace that is secluded and restful and the stroll to The Thimble and the village is beautiful. Piddletrenthide still has the Dorset village feel - something that is increasingly rare. The Coach House is the perfect haven for getting away from it all, yet is central to the glories that Dorset has to offer. We cannot rate it highly enough.

“This is a lovely Holiday let in a nice rural location but very close to all Dorset has to offer .”

The owners have made it very comfortable for clients and Emma provides a very personable service and is close at hand if you need anything . Lovely old Coachhouse renovated to a very high standard and well worth the rental cost , even in the high season.

“What an absolute gem of a find - The Coach House has everything you could need on holiday.”

The house itself was beautiful, clean and tidy and such a relaxing place to finish a days exploring (especially on the sun trap patio with a cold glass of wine!). The location is absolutely perfect whether it’s for beach days or for walking and exploring towns. The finishing touches at the cottage added that extra something to our stay. Emma, Andy and Frazer could not have been more welcoming or helpful with places to visit. We really didn’t want to leave, and hope to be back in the future! Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing holiday.

“The property was perfect.”

We enjoyed a lovely week and was impressed by the overall cleanliness and attention to detail to ensure our comfort. We particularly appreciated the bedrooms being on the lower floor as during our stay we were fortunate to have hot sunshine the whole time and the bedroom was really cool and comfortable whilst being able to appreciate the view from the living room and enjoy sitting out on the patio. Lovely quiet location with walks to the local pub. Ideally situated for sightseeing too. Thank you to Emma and family for ensuring our stay was perfect.

The property

The Coach House is a lovely 200yr old, reverse level accommodation in White Lackington, Dorset, close to Piddletrenthide.

This delightful Coach House surrounded by countryside and close to the Jurassic Coast, offers three guests all they need for a self-catering holiday in Dorset, including off road parking for two cars, a private courtyard, and fantastic amenities.

Two carefully designed bedrooms, a double and a small double, are located on the ground level, along with a spotless bathroom featuring Villeroy and Bosch tiling, mosaic floors, and a walk-in shower.

After your coastal expedition, freshen up and unwind before moving upstairs to the living spaces.

Locate the bright and cheerful shaker-style kitchen, where you can prepare your favourite home-cooked meals using the electric oven, induction hob and microwave.

Serve your suppers at the table for four in the living/dining area, or why not dine outside in the evening sun?

The courtyard, a beautiful, south-facing, secluded space with rattan chairs to enjoy the sun all day, is accessed via an oak stable door.

After supper, unwind in the sitting area, which features cushioned sofas and a flatscreen TV with Roku streaming media player; choose your favourite film and unwind by the soft warmth of the woodburning stove.

Start your holiday by exploring the local area, which includes the village of Piddletrenthide, which has a village shop and The Poachers Inn, as well as The Thimble Inn gastropub, which is close to The Coach House if you want to take a break from the kitchen.

The Tudor house of Athelhampton House & Gardens near Puddletown, the unusual National Trust monument of the Cerne Giant, and Badger Watch Dorset, where you may view a variety of local species, are all within a short drive.

Alternatively, spend the day in Dorchester, which has so much to offer, including Borough Gardens, the Dorset Museum, and Max Gate, the former house of author and poet Thomas Hardy.

You'll have stunning land and coast to explore in the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Chesil Beach, the lively coastal town of Weymouth, and the World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast.

For a great vacation with your loved ones, book your next trip in Dorset at The Coach House.

Dorchester 8 miles.

The pretty West Dorset village of Piddletrenthide can be found in the quaintly named Piddle Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, only 8 miles from Dorchester, situated off the main road on a private track. The village is surrounded by glorious countryside, with direct access to public footpaths abounding in superb walks. Interestingly the young Thomas Hardy, as an architect's assistant, worked on the parish church. A great base for touring, there is much to see and do within a short drive of this picturesque area, including the world-famous Cerne Abbas giant, where you can find the nearest shop for the essentials, whilst the bustling market town of Dorchester, with its array of interesting shops, pubs, restaurants and museums is well worth a visit. Within easy reach is the family friendly seaside resort of Weymouth and the Jurassic coast, and also dramatic Portland, venue for the 2012 Olympic sailing events. With Bournemouth and Poole only 40 minutes away, this is altogether a super holiday destination at any time of the year.
