Gorwell Farm
With our six holiday cottages and a large 17th century stone barn nestled in our pretty valley, Gorwell Farm is a tranquil location for your holiday and a beautiful venue for your wedding. The waves have been battering the pebbles on Chesil beach, spray soaring on the wind, but warmer times are ahead.

We aim to give you a peaceful and relaxing holiday in one of our six individual self catering holiday cottages here on the South Coast of Dorset. Gorwell cottages can make the perfect holiday for one or two people or for group accommodation of up to eighteen people for extended families and friends because of their versatility.
Services
Gorwell Farm is found in our own secret wooded valley just 2 miles from the village of Abbotsbury and Chesil Beach. Fantastic views of the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline stretch around as soon as you enter the farm. In addition the South West Coastal Path runs across the top of the farm. Tucked away down a private well maintained lane, Gorwell also offers a quiet, peaceful location.
Is your dream a pretty country wedding or party in a beautiful valley close to the spectacular Dorset Coast in a 17th Century stone barn? If so then perhaps you should consider having your Wedding at The Barn at Gorwell Farm. At Gorwell we have a 17th Century spacious stone barn which is available to hire for a party, wedding or event.
Gorwell Farm Holiday Cottages offer a range of affordable self-catering accommodation for groups of all sizes: three barn conversion cottages, two Victorian stone cottages, and a detached four bedroom house. Each cottage is comfortably furnished to a high four star standard and comes with central heating, a log burner in the living room, wifi access, freeview television and dvd player.
Bride Cottage is a semi-detached cosy comfortable well equipped cottage. It is named Bride Cottage because of the local river which has a tributary source found in our wooded valley before it flows out to the sea in West Dorset. Couples enjoy staying in this aptly named Bride Cottage as a get away from it all honeymoon in beautiful rural Dorset.
Think of a spacious barn with wooden ceilings and beams. Now imagine this as a four bedroom cottage for up to 8 people + cots with 2 en suite double bedrooms, a room with twin beds, a room with bunk beds and a further bathroom. Granary Cottage has 2 entrances. The main door is situated mid way to the first floor so it is very easy for carrying cases and luggage up the five steps to the first floor.

A beautiful getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. A large, tranquil and picturesque farm tucked away off the beaten track with a short drive to Abbotsbury and the coast.

A stunning wedding venue in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Mary was a pleasure to deal with throughout our wedding planning despite all that 2020 threw at us. Would highly recommend Gorwell Barn to anyone looking for a barn style wedding venue with the opportunity to add as many personal touches as you wish thanks to Mary’s flexible approach.

Gorwell is a fabulous place to stay and their barn is a superb, characterful venue for special occasions. Can't recommend them highly enough!
And the surrounding countryside is fascinating too, with ancient monuments and a National Nature Reserve just minutes away.
