Our fifth stay at Kingsland Farm and what a special stay it was- we got engaged! Kingsland and Dorset have been a place that has helped our relationship grow over the years and we are so thankful to Nick and Danette for creating our home away from home and being such great hosts! This year as well as our usual favourites of Brassica , Colmers Hill, Herbies Scallops in Lyme Regis and Furleigh Vineyard we also tried Soulshine for dinner and breakfast-which was absolutely delicious! And a takeaway delivered , so tasty from The Sundorban in Bridport - counting down to next year already!
