Welcome to Luccombe Holidays

Named one of The Guardian’s “10 Best UK Family Farmstays”, Luccombe Holidays is a 650-acre working family farm nestled in a peaceful hidden valley in the Dorset countryside. Our eleven Four Star self-catering holiday cottages provide a relaxing rural escape for families, couples, multi-generational gatherings and groups of friends.

Facilities and activities for all ages

There’s plenty to enjoy at Luccombe, whatever the weather or time of year. Take a dip in our heated indoor swimming pool, open all year with private bookable swimming sessions, or enjoy our new indoor-outdoor swimming pool, open from spring through to autumn. You can also unwind in the sauna, work out in the gym or challenge the family in the games room. Other facilities include a tennis court, children's play area, activity hut, table tennis, garden games, woodland walks, a lakeside BBQ area and our much-loved Fairy & Elf Door Hunt.

Guests can meet our two very friendly goats and donkeys around the farm. For an extra special farm experience, The Luccombe Hub, based here on the farm, offers animal feeding and alpaca walking at 11am on weekends and during school holidays. It's a lovely opportunity for children and grown-ups alike to get hands-on, meet the animals and learn a little more about farm life. Riding lessons can also be arranged at the riding school located on the farm.

Food, dining and celebrations

We are delighted to partner with Dorset Country Kitchen, offering delicious homemade pies, sausage rolls, soups and quiches, alongside a range of catering options, including meals delivered directly to your cottage and private dining experiences.

A nearby tearoom along the farm track serves breakfasts, lunches, homemade cakes and hot drinks throughout the day. The picturesque village of Milton Abbas is just a 10–15 minute walk across the fields, where you can discover the historic abbey, a local farm shop and the traditional country pub, The Hambro Arms.

For larger family gatherings and special celebrations, Mintern Barn offers a shared space where your group can come together to dine and enjoy time as a party.

Explore Dorset and the Jurassic Coast

Surrounded by rolling downland, wildlife and far-reaching countryside views, Luccombe is a wonderful base for exploring Dorset. Discover scenic countryside walks, charming villages, local attractions and the spectacular beaches and coastline of the Jurassic Coast, all within easy reach.

Guests staying on a Sunday can also enjoy a complimentary late departure until 4pm, giving you extra time to relax and make the most of your stay.

At Luccombe Holidays, there's room to unwind, plenty to explore and something to make every stay special.
