Around and About Bradle Farmhouse
Our land here at Bradle Farm extends right up to Swyre Head which is the highest point in Purbeck offering panoramic views of the surrounding coast and countryside.
From there we run down to the World Heritage coast at Kimmeridge, which is the nearest beach consisting of shale, rock pools and long ledges. In the village we also have the Etches Collection, a renowned museum of Jurassic marine life.
There are many stunning walks from the farm along the coast and also inland along the Purbeck Hills.
The Medieval village and ruins of Corfe Castle is 3 miles away and provides the link for the Steam Railway to Swanage; a nostalgic 6 miles trip back in time.
The beautiful beach of Studland is 8 miles away with a vast expanse of sand which leads around to Sandbanks where a chain ferry links the Isle of Purbeck to Poole. From this point you can take a boat ride to Brownsea Island and Poole Harbour which is the second biggest natural harbour in the world.
Travelling westwards we have Monkey World (8 miles) and The Bovington Tank Museum (10 miles).
For eating out we have a family restaurant in Kimmeridge called Clavells a mile away and open every day and some evenings. There is also the New Inn in Church Knowle also a mile away and there are many other good eating places in Corfe Castle and Wareham.

The Hole family have been tenant farmers at Bradle for three generations ever since Mark’s Grandad Guy emigrated here from New Zealand and married Dorset based Lady Mary Ellen. Guy farmed with his sons John, Jerry &
Andy and in more recent years their children have worked here too.
Now it is just John, Gill, Mark, Laura and their children who live here and work the farm. They are guardians of just under 1000 acres of stunning country
side, stretching up to Swyre Head and along the Purbeck coastline.
We are a working Dairy and Arable Farm, with a dairy herd of approx. 130 cows. We also rear beef cattle, a small number of sheep and pigs. We farm to the highest of welfare standards and are a Red Tractor approved farm.
Bradle Farmhouse is the heart of the family and farm and the perfect place for you to rest before you explore all that this area of outstanding natural beauty can offer. Whether you’re here for hiking, beach days or just relaxing it makes the ideal base for your stay. We look forward to welcoming you.
**Please note, as mentioned above we are a working family farm so please be prepared for all the sounds, smells and experiences that come with this!

Breakfast was delicious and plenty of it, full of the produce directly from the farm. Homemade conserves too, which were absolutely yummy. One of the best, if not the best, B&Bs we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Throughly recommend. Thank you Gillian for a wonderful couple of days in your amazing place xx”
W. Ledgerwood - Nov 2024 “We had a wonderful Halloween stay at Bradle Farmhouse, enjoying walks to Corfe Castle, looking for fossils at Kimmeridge Bay, and enjoying the many cafes and restaurants the area has to offer. Bradle Farmhouse is so welcoming; you are invited to explore the farm, meet the people living and working there, and see the animals.Our daughter enjoyed meeting the calves!
Gillian helped us when we flooded our walking boots and provided a wonderful breakfast and haven of a bedroom. We will return!”
