Ibberton is an attractive little village in splendid North Dorset, which nestles under the ridge of Bulbarrow Hill, within the Blackmore, a short distance from Blandford Forum. The countryside of the area inspired Thomas Hardy (who wrote 'Return of The Native' in neighbouring Sturminster Newton) and is now a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offering glorious walks and wildlife spotting. Attractions including Stourhead House and Gardens, the Saxon hilltop town of Shaftesbury, the impressive abbey and castles at Sherborne, and the lively market town of Dorchester are all a short drive away. Venture a little further afield and you'll discover the Cathedral city of Salisbury, and the bustling seaside resorts of Bournemouth and Weymouth for sun, sea and sand.
Reviews
"The old Tack Room was very clean the wine on arrival was a nice welcome. The owners where very friendly. The garden was lovely with the patio furniture a peaceful place to sit any time of the day or night. The dogs had a lovely time lots of nice walks. The Pub just up the road was with easy walking distance food was ok."
"Brilliant location and superb cottage in the country. We visited the Great Dorset Steam Fair and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
"Very clean well apoointed cottage. Lovely garden, lovely of bird life visiting the owner's feeding station visble from the cottage. Good wlaks in the area and only 5minute walk from the pub which serves good ales and food. Great place for our dog and owners had thought of everything ilcuding doggie towels and poo bags! Would go again."
"The cottage was beautiful and the birds in the garden unbelieveable and fascinating. The weather was not very kind and there was plenty of mud underfoot but we went to the Haynes Museum and the Fleet Air Arm Museum both of which were worth a trip. Every fascility that I can think of was in the cottage and a very high standard of furnishing and equipment plus wine and flowers on arrival. I would wholeheartedly recommend this cottage as a centre to tour Dorset"
