Our second visit there, absolutely lovely place to stay in beautiful Osmington. The place itself is excellent and dog friendly too. Run by lovely people who are about if you need them. Thoroughly recommend a stay here!

This delightfully furnished accommodation in which we felt immediately at home, was beyond our expectations.The peaceful farm environment was, to us city dwellers a refreshing change. Having a double room with en suite on the ground floor is of great benefit to any elderly or infirm guests.

We really enjoyed our Christmas stay at The Old Milking Parlour. We were 3 generations with the youngest being 5 and the eldest 70 and the charm of the property was appreciated by us all.Location was excellent; so close to Weymouth for lovely walks with the family and the dog along the beach and close to historical Dorchester. The setting was perfect, surrounded by fields and horses, it was so peaceful. The property had everything you could require and was even decorated for Christmas for us. The kitchen was so spacious, we cooked our Christmas dinner with ease. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds. The welcome pack, including the homemade bread, was very much appreciated. I am sure we will return.
