Welcome From Tanglewood! We are Super hosts!

Tanglewood farmhouse has 4 acres of woods and streams and 12 acres of grassland. There are plenty of great places to see, in an area with beaches, undulating hills and the highest floral diversity in the UK, not to mention the Jurassic Coast and its fossils. Local heathland is a protected European habitat, accessible on foot 300 m from Tanglewood, or take one of our walks to Wareham a mile away. There are lots of other places to visit, with excellent scope for eating out. Booking our guest apartment or shepherds hut is easy too.
