Oak Barn at Wooden Cabbage - Dorchester

HappyTravellers8

We had a very enjoyable stay in the Wooden Cabbage much of it due to the warmth and hospitality of Martyn and Susie. We were offered a much welcome tray of coffee, tea and shortbread immediately upon our arrival after our long journey down. We enjoyed this taking in the superb vistas of the Dorset countryside from Martyn's patio. It is clear that Martyn is a very talented plantsman and evidence is seen all around the splendid gardens and in the Conservatory/Breakfast Room, which is adorned with some spectacular and exotic plants and climbers. Our bedroom (The Cream Room) was very comfortable, nicely furnished and with an excellent ensuite facility. Everything was spotlessly clean and Wi Fi is free and utterly reliable.||Susie provided an excellent choice at breakfasts and her home made fruit compotes, preserves and granola were truly delicious. The cooked breakfasts were excellent and made with very tasty local produce. We were grateful to Susie for booking us into two different pub restaurants for our evening meals. Both were very good.||The Wooden Cabbage is set in lovely countryside and is very quiet and serves as a wonderful base to explore this beautiful English County. We were grateful to Martyn for his kindness in providing a map and some guidance about attractive places to visit in Dorset. Of course we only scratched the surface on the many interesting and attractive places to visit but that gives us the perfect excuse to return to the Wooden Cabbage.||Mick and Chris|

We had an amazing time at the Wooden Cabbage. The location was idyllic, with stunning views of the countryside. The gardens were beautiful with lovely sunsets.

Hosts Susie and Martyn were brilliant. Very welcoming, accommodating and helpful. Also Susie's raspberry jam, variety of compotes and home made granola, which we had at breakfast were truly delicious!

Rooms were clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities. The surrounding area has plenty to do and see, with great restaurants nearby.

We will definitely be returning!

We had such a wonderful stay during our time at Wooden Cabbage B & B. Martyn and Susie were delightful, charming hosts who looked after us so well, gave us really great tips for things to do in areas we wanted to visit, gave us brilliant restaurant recommendations, and cooked amazing breakfasts including fresh fruit from the beautiful garden, and Susie's homemade granola which we loved. The house itself was lovely and comfortable, the garden was outstanding with incredible views. We can't recommend this place enough and will definitely go back. Thanks so much Martyn and Susie!

We stayed with Susie and Martin for a long weekend, on recommendation from a friend. We weren’t disappointed as we had a peaceful and comfortable short holiday. We stayed in the Oak Suite which had lots of room and comfortable furniture. We slept really well in our kingsize bed with luxury bedding and soft pillows. The added touch of flowers from garden gave a lovely aroma in the room. ||Breakfast was exceptional with Susie’s home made jams and preserves to go with her muesli and Greek yoghurt followed by full cooked breakfast and lots of toast. ||We loved the gardens and plants in their beautiful house of which they are so obviously proud. I am sure we will return.

This was by far one of the best B&B's I've ever stayed in! Martin & Susie went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well-taken care of. The location is gorgeous, stunning scenery all round (the views from the bedroom & breakfast area took my breath away) and it's perfectly positioned for day trips to explore more of the English countryside. Breakfast was an absolute feast! Everything is homemade and delicious. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and to crossing paths with these delightful hosts again.

Thank you Martin and Susie for a super few days spent in your beautiful home. It was all excellent, particularly the arrival tea and shortbread whilst sat in Martyn’s stunning garden, enjoying the sunshine. We left there after visiting some local areas and gardens. A great few days.
