Before the grand opening, there was work needed to make amends for the neglect the farmhouse had experienced over the years. The entire property was renovated to a high standard by utilising Paul\u2019s carpentry experience and Francesca\u2019s keen eye for detail. After some modernisation and plenty of care, the property was restored to the beautiful home it was in its prime. The bed and breakfast opened in March 2019 and, since opening, it has seen travellers from across the globe, dealt with a pandemic and added an aesthetics clinic; run by Francesca.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: raleway, sans-serif;\">The farmhouse was built in approximately 1860 and was originally part of Lodbourne Farm, which was run by the Allard family, and over the years has been sold off and developed. The farmhouse remained a home until 1993, when it became a residential home and resource centre, as part of the North Dorset Primary Care Trust. In 2005, a local company purchased the farmhouse, and it became part of their commercial premises (where Paul was the primary caretaker).<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

There is gated parking available for approximately four cars, and 24-hour access is available to both the car park and the B&amp;B itself. The beautiful south facing garden has plenty of outdoor furniture that guests are encouraged to use in the summer months. Paul and Francesca have two cocker spaniels at the bed and breakfast and are unable to accommodate other pets as a result.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">Breakfast is served in the light, open kitchen which boasts a level 5 (Very Good) food hygiene rating. Paul will be your breakfast chef, preparing freshly cooked food from <a href=\"https:\/\/lodbournefarmhouse.co.uk\/?page_id=170356\">our menu<\/a>, to order, each morning, alongside a wide range of cereals, fresh fruit, coffee, teas, and juices.
