We came here for our daughters wedding at Gorwell farm and Clayhanger has been absolutely perfect. The hive of activity with the bride, bridesmaids and us getting ready on Saturday morning was magical, a memory of this place to treasure forever. There is a magic here, we'll be back.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our week in Clayhanger Lodge. The new sofas are brilliant and so comfortable. Newly decorated throughout. Clayhanger is always so welcoming. Thank you to Nikki and all the team at Dorset Hideaways. We hope to return later in the year.
