Flowerdew Farm

A 2-acre eco care farm in the Bride Valley where the alpacas and goats are genuinely part of the stay, not just backdrop.

Flowerdew Farm sits in the Bride Valley in Dorset's AONB, 4km from Hive Beach on the Jurassic Coast. Claire runs it as a care and social farm, meaning the alpaca and goat wellness sessions are the headline act, not an afterthought. You can book a slot to feed and handle the animals or simply watch them from your pitch. There's a path to the South West Coastal Path a couple of miles away, with a walk towards West Bay from there.

Pitches are a mix of tent and campervan spots plus a few bell tents to hire, all on a manageable 2-acre site. Facilities are lean but functional: toilets and a single shower that reviewers consistently find adequate. The site is gated, which gives it a quieter, more contained feel. Claire is hands-on and known for pointing guests towards sea swimming spots and a walkable pub.

Before you book

Single shower shared across the site, manageable on a quiet night, worth factoring in on busy weekends.
