Wonderful place to stay - spacious and beautifully quirky

We had a lovely long weekend at the Piddle Inn. Downstairs is just like a pub - all for us! Bar, games room and pub kitchen fantastic for a family group. Gorgeous bedrooms and the sound of the stream at night. Lovely walks straight from the back and Alan the host, was incredibly helpful and friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Alan

I have been in the hospitality business since 1999 originally in the glorious Corbière Hills of the Aude department of France, then incorporating a Spanish Finca in the wild mountains behind Malaga; moving back to the UK to probably the most beautiful Tudor Manor in Devon & Dorset where the holiday letting service continues; now I am passionate about offering a comfortable & memorable holiday break in the lovely Dorset country village of Piddletrenthide.
My ethos is reflected in the service, facilities & care I try to take to provide you with all the ingredients you will need for an enjoyable stay here in the Piddle Inn

Why they chose this property

the space & character in a special location

What makes this property unique

room to breathe, listen to the gentle flow of the Piddle running by the property, watch horses glide past the property, walk directly onto the surrounding hills without going onto a road
