Three generations of our family enjoyed a wonderful time in this gem of a house set on the edge of a lovely village and surrounded by fields. A large garden and a spacious interior meant that our two small grandchildren didn’t run out of hiding places during our four night stay. A five minute walk takes you to the centre of the village where there is a General store, Post Office and the Royal Oak pub which serves great food, both to eat in or takeaway, and where the staff and locals are all friendly and welcoming. We loved chilling in the evening in front of the open hearth fire with a glass of wine, and being over the New Year period, the Christmas tree, mistletoe and holly decorations were an unexpected but joyful bonus. It goes without saying that we will be visiting again in the future.

I chose this house as my family were coming over from Australia.There were 8 of us that stayed here for a week.From the photos it looked like a house just right for all of us.I can honestly say it’s a very beautiful house with so much space inside and out.The living room was big enough for us all to relax in the evenings and the bedrooms were big and spacious.This lovely home was not only beautiful but it has a lift for people to get upstairs if needed.My Mum is 81 so it was perfect for her to be able to have access to upstairs.We played board games in the dining room and enjoyed cooking in the kitchen with a fabulous aga and a dishwasher to clean away the dishes.I cannot express enough how perfect this place is for a big family in the quietness of the countryside with The Royal Oak pub only a few minutes walk away.A lovely Sunday roast with a Sports Bar to watch the football.We all loved our stay here and would love to come back again one day.

Gould’s farmhouse, Milborne St Andrew

Christmas 2019

We were a party of 8, 6 adults, 2 teenagers, and a 6 month old baby,
3 generations of my family.
The house is very spacious,and has a real homely feel.
It was perfect for my family, we need somewhere for us all to be together
over Christmas.
The kitchen was well equipped, I enjoyed cooking Christmas dinner on the
aga.
There was more than enough room in the dining room for all of us including
the highchair for the baby.
The bedrooms were also a good size, with ensuite bathrooms. Toiletries was a nice touch.
The Pub in the village supplied us a take-away meal on our last night,
nothing was too much trouble for them. I recommend it.
The Jurassic coast is a short drive.
Although the weather was awful, it rained every day. We still had a
wonderful Christmas at the farmhouse.
I would recommend the farmhouse
I would like to thank Nicola for making our stay very enjoyable.

We have just completed a wonderful week's 3 generation holiday at Gould's Farmhouse, the perfect setting and base for visiting Dorset. Gould's is set in a typical Dorset village full of character, as is the farmhouse. The farmhouse, parts of which date back to the 1600s, has all the modern conveniences you could wish for. The grandchildren loved playing hide and seek around the house and in the large garden which is full of nooks and crannies to hide in
We fully recommend it. Would we go there again? YES! .
Kind regards,
Iain and Pamela

We have just spent a really lovely week in this old farmhouse, it was a joy to arrive here to find that everything had been done to make our stay comfortable. The house itself is full of charm and character and beautifully clean and ready to just unpack and enjoy.
We found it to be well equipped with everything you could possibly need.
Situated in a charming village with a shop nearby for essentials and a pub within walking distance.

Having been fortunate enough to travel both in the UK and abroad extensively we have never stayed anywhere where we felt so immediately relaxed. Gould’s Farmhouse is the most beautiful property, with so much character and history, we felt privileged to be staying there.

The well equipped kitchen with an Aga (that the dogs loved!) was used every morning for breakfast. Sat at the table looking at the wonderful garden, fields and church beyond is a view I would never tire of. Morning coffee and papers in the bright, sunny conservatory. We would then prize the dogs away from the Aga and head out.

There is so much to do in the local area for all generations. We had some very good walks - Lulworth, Wareham Forest and several straight from the farmhouse. We were always keen to get back to Gould’s and sit in the beautiful garden then enjoy the fire in the lounge on a chilly evening. The bedrooms were all large, en suite and extremely comfortable.

The village is a delight to explore and we were made to feel very welcome by the local community. There’s a well stocked village store, a post office and The Royal Oak pub which has an extensive menu and serves delicious meals.

Thank you Nicola for your hospitality. We will return as soon as possible to Gould’s Farmhouse for the peace and tranquility it gives.

We have had a wonderful holiday in your house, the weather was kind to us and everyone has been friendly and helpful.

We ate 3 times at The Royal Oak and last night at The Milton Arms - all very good. We had booked in at the pub in Milton Abbas but they cancelled at the last minute as their new chef had a family emergency.

We went to Weymouth, Poultons Park, Monkey Land and finally Sculpture on the Lakes, my favourite. Action packed for everyone.

Hello Nicola,
We had a great time at Gould's farmhouse, the two weeks went too fast!

Stayed March to April 2022.
Well what a lovely place to stay. It is so convenient for exploring rural areas as well as the coast.A visit to the Royal Oak is a must for lunch or an evening meal and Sunday lunch. We sampled all three !!The lift was an absolute godsend for us due to mobility issues. We enjoyed the challenge of the AGA with some success. .The dog loved having a large space to explore and we enjoyed sitting in the garden when the weather allowed and the sun room when it didn't. With walks on the doorstep the car was not always needed.A clean spacious property that we will be returning too. Many thanks Nicola.

This is a very special place to stay and we have already made a booking for a week next summer. It is in a stunning location in a tranquil part of the village, which has a thriving community feel.
As we walked through the door, the house felt instantly welcoming. It is a real home and immediately this helped us to relax into holiday mode. The beds (always of interest to me as I have a dodgy back) are very comfortable with deep supportive mattresses and the rooms are large and airy with attractive views over fields and hedgerows. There was plenty of space on the ground floor for our party of seven and the dining room gave meals a real sense of occasion. This was especially true when we were visited one day by some relations for a jubilee lunch.

As soon as we walked into Goulds Farmhouse we felt at home.
There was a lovely feeling of peace and we immediately slipped into holiday mode and we felt totally relaxed.
Everything we could possibly need was there and the house was spotlessly clean. Although we had perfect weather, the aga gave a lovely welcoming feel to the kitchen in the mornings and sitting at the kitchen table over a leisurely breakfast was a great start to the day.
Comfortable beds, decent showers and peace and quiet added to the fantastic experience.
Nicola made sure that we had all the information we needed and was very accessible if we had any queries.
The house is perfectly situated for many areas of interest. We visited Tyneham village, Corfe, Tolpuddle, Charmouth, Brownsea Island and Sculptures on the Lake. Every day out was brilliant but it was lovely to come back to the house and relax.
We will definitely be back.

" We had a fantastic stay at Gould's farmhouse with our teenage son and parents in their 70s and 80s. The house is spacious, comfortable and really well equipped. It was the first time we'd used an Aga and we enjoyed trying to cook with it. The lift is useful for those who find stairs difficult and the enormous, well-kept garden is a real bonus. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and found plenty to do within half an hour's drive- in fact we ran out of time, so we're already planning a return trip next year." Alison, Cambridge

We had a lovely week at Gould’s Farmhouse. Three generations fitted very comfortably in the generous accommodation. The children loved the huge garden - wonderful for hide and seek and ball games - whilst the adults were able to spread out and relax across the homely spaces downstairs. We had excellent meals at the local pub and the village is well placed for all that Dorset has to offer. We recommend it as an excellent place to stay.
