Toller Fratrum is more hamlet than village, situated at the end of a narrow lane off the A356 above the confluence of the Rivers Frome and Hooke. The parish is an ancient one and was held by the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem during the mediaeval period. There are numerous footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding area, and stunning walks to be had at nearby Eggardon Hill, Kingcombe Meadows and around the wider Toller and Frome valleys. When taking a break at The Neap you are ideally situated for exploring the numerous quaint and picturesque villages in the area including Toller Porcorum, Hooke, Maiden Newton, Cattistock and Powerstock, with the towns of Dorchester, Beaminster and Bridport within easy reach.

For coastal walks and seaside trips, the Jurassic Coast is just a short drive or a cycle away, with Abbotsbury, West Bexington, Burton Bradstock and West Bay all under 15 miles away. Whether you are looking for a quiet break away from it all, or to enjoy days out filled with activities and adventures, The Neap is a special holiday home that ticks every box.
