A 5 mins stroll from The Hollies front door is the lovely village pub, The Sailors Return, where a warm welcome and good food awaits (and to dogs too 🐾).

Conkers remind me of being a child. Glossy, chestnut treasure snuggled into hard, spiky cases; natures own bounty. The squirrels have been busy up and down the trunk of our Horse Chestnut tree, helping to shake down the laden branches. #conkers #horsechestnut #thehollies #chaldon #westdorset #jurassiccoast #purbeck #UK #southwestcoastpath #lulworth #durdledoor #selfcateringaccommodation #bookaholiday #dorsetcoast #birdsong #sunshine #nature #wild #countrylife #coast #happyguests #greatreviews #kidsandnature #bekind #montessoriactivity #squirrels

Is it the autumnal chill to the evenings, the low bright sun or the bowing of the apple tree branches that make our tummies rumble the most for homemade puddings this time of year? Whichever, homemade apple cake was a-calling this weekend. It didn’t hang around long enough for me to take a photo of it whole! 🤣 #thehollies #chaldon #westdorset #jurassiccoast #purbeck #UK #southwestcoastpath #lulworth #durdledoor #selfcateringaccommodation #bookaholiday #dorsetcoast #birdsong #sunshine #nature #wild #countrylife #coast #happyguests #greatreviews #kidsandnature #bekind #autumn #apple #applecake
