Here's what our guests are saying about their unforgettable experience at Mount Pleasant in beautiful Dorset!

"We had such an amazing time at Mount Pleasant. Anna and Mike (and their family) were excellent hosts, showing us round the farm and doing fantastic pizzas in the pizza ovens. It was nice to hear how passionate they are and the kids loved all the animals, especially being able to feed the pigs.

The tent itself is absolutely fantastic, beautifully designed, spacious and homely. The kids loved the bunkers and the cupboard bed and slept really well, and it was so lovely lighting the candles at night and just chatting instead of watching a TV or looking at our phones. We even caught a meteor shower on one of the nights.

It was the perfect spot to visit with friends and the kids were endlessly entertained playing in the fields, making dens, playing frisbee etc, Will definitely return!"
