Our Animals

Meet our furry friends

At Rudge Farm, a visit isn’t complete without meeting our friendly farm animals! Start your adventure by greeting our waddling ducks as they paddle in the lake, quacking happily as they search for tasty treats. Nearby, the chickens scratch and peck in the yard, clucking away as they hunt for grain. Our mischievous goats, including the cheeky duo Poppy and Pickle, are always eager for a snack and a head scratch, while the gentle sheep graze peacefully in the fields, their soft wool ruffling in the breeze. Whether you’re feeding the animals, enjoying fresh farm eggs for breakfast, or simply enjoying their company, there’s plenty of farmyard fun waiting for you!

What Our Guests Say...

Great family fun - We had a great family trip with 14 of us sharing three adjacent cottages to celebrate a family birthday. Whilst we were only there for two nights, the facilities on site were great and kept the three children entertained and busy.

Simon, Cambridge

By far the best place we have stayed. Lovely warm welcome, cottages delightful and scenery stunning!

Judith and Steve, Cambridgeshire

Great location to explore West Dorset - We had a really lovely stay at Rudge Farm. As our first visit to West Dorset it was an ideal location to explore the coastline. The kids really enjoyed the activities on site too including the boating on the lake, the games room and tennis court. The local farm shop was fab and did lovely fresh bread, yummy cheese, and veg. Thanks for a great holiday and we would definitely recommend it to other people.

Caroline, Brighton

Perfect country retreat - First class comfortable accommodation in the Gardeners Cottage. Set in the beautiful Dorset countryside, we couldn't have wished for more. No hesitation in recommending Rudge Farm to my family and friends.
