“The cabin was in a quiet location with trees nearby and bird song around. It was nicely decorated on the inside, immaculately clean and you could adjust the heating, which was very efficient.”

Our converted cabin is set in the Dorset Countryside between the historic towns of Dorchester (15 min drive) and Sherbourne (15 min drive). Farthing gate farm is a 7 acre site and home of Watercombe dogs, offering dog training throughout the year.
The cabin provides easy access and parking all on the same level. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided, good WiFi and TV.
Welcome to Farthing gate farm, I run Watercombe dog training from my home. I have four dogs and I regularly compete in dog agility, my husband Ben is a musician and when he's not at home he is touring the world.
We live in a remote setting making it very quiet at night and perfect for star gazing, we are lucky to have two fantastic pubs only a few miles away, and wonderful neighbours.
