Birchcroft Hideaway Reviews

Enjoyed our stay at Birchcroft Hideaway, a great house in a lovely setting, everything we needed, clean and comfortable. ... thank you.
Madeeha
Was a great stay we really enjoyed, but the location would be even better in summer. We enjoyed the hot tub just a small suggestion, it would be great if there is a small space to change outside so we don't have to walk in to the house with wet clothes. Overall we really enjoyed it. Thanks to the owner for letting it out last minute as our booking got cancelled last minute.

Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 15 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.

What once was a historically important fort is now home to a Marine Aquarium, a Model Railway, a Sea Bed Archaeology Exhibition and a Planetarium.
