Hooke Court is a 14th century Manor near Beaminster in West Dorset, once owned by the Dukes of Bolton and the Earl of Sandwich, now lovingly renovated and set within 24 acres of gardens and woodland. You can stay in the Manor's eleven bedrooms, the more intimate Gate House, or choose glamping in Bell Tents, a Stone Age Round House or Saxon Long House. The grounds are home to farm animals and a lake, and the beautifully refurbished Aelfric Hall hosts parties, weddings and conferences. Just below the Wessex Ridgeway and close to the Dorset coastline, it's within easy reach of Chesil Beach, Golden Cap, Beaminster and Dorchester, with museums nearby including Beaminster Museum and Bridport Museum for exploring further afield.
