The famous Nettle Eating Competition takes place every year, one of many iconic (quirky) events that makes West Dorset so special.

Visit-Dorset
Visit Bridport

Just north west of Bridport is an iconic event. Back at the Bottle Inn at Marshwood, the World Nettle Eating Championship has gathered the crowds and competitors are half way through eating the leaves off as many stalks of nettles as they can in an hour. There are Bridport competitors 🤞

Just one of the many things that makes a holiday here so special (and why we have a Friday changeover day)

We still have some summer availability for our two lovely holiday cottages. Cafe, play area and farm shop on site (awarded No 1 Place to Go in the Southwest last year) and a 10 minute drive to the beach. We have held our prices this year so they are fantastic value for money. The cottages sleep 4 (Dairy Cottage) and 5 (Granary Cottage).

Throwback to 2016 when Broadchurch series 3 was filmed at the farm. What an amazing experience that was. Washingpool Farm Shop was the location for Lenny Henry’s character’s business and our house was used as his home. At one point Vicky had to climb out of her sitting room window to avoid the cast and crew 🤦🏼‍♀️

Broadchurch can be streamed through itvx. If you are curious to see the iconic beach, harbour and cliffs used as the setting for all series’ then book Dairy Cottage or Granary Cottage for a stay https://www.washingpool.co.uk/holiday-cottages.

Book now for 2025!

Would you like to stay on a working farm with a fabulous, well-stocked farm shop and cafe on your doorstep? After deliberation, we decided to keep our prices the same for 2025, meaning we have not increased our prices since 2021. We have to be honest, our costs have increased hugely since then so we will probably need to put prices up for 2026. We are a family-run business and we know getting away for a family holiday once a year should be possible whatever your budget which is why we try to keep the prices affordable. Have a look at our website, we have short breaks available most of the year and a modest deposit on booking for 2024/5 (if booking more than 8 weeks before your stay).
