The business has diversified and the farm currently has a heifer-rearing unit and some arable grown as well as a solar site that supplies electricity to the farm. The farm also has a selection of footpaths and bridleways traversing it.

As the name suggests, the site has fantastic views, but also has some lovely walks directly from the site, particularly good for us with an energetic Labrador.
We were blessed with glorious weather for our stay and, when relaxing on our pitch, we were able to watch various hot air balloons in the distance and we saw some beautiful sunsets.
One small point to note - the grey waste water point is not drive-over, so you need to take a pipe to reach it.
Terri was very welcoming and also waved us off when we left. We plan to come back again to this peaceful site.

‘What an absolute gem of a find. We couldn’t believe our luck when we turned into the CL field to see the most wonderful far reaching view and you just can’t help but say ‘What a View’. Warmly welcomed by Martin and Terri it is an absolute delight to return again and again. There are many lovely walks straight off site and for the more energetic, a fabulous bike ride to Blandford along the disused railway line. Or just sit and enjoy the view. Another benefit from being on top of a hill, are the fabulous sunsets. If you want a get away from it all site with delightful owners, visit What a View. We shall be there again very soon. Another bonus are the different flavoured cheeses for sale!
For those who prefer, we understand EHU is being considered.’

We had a wonderfully quiet and relaxing 2 weeks on the site, and were tremendously grateful to Martin & Terri for tremendous support & help when a couple of minor problems arose. A very appropriately named site!
