The creak of old floorboards underfoot and the smell of a proper cooked breakfast drifting upstairs — Melbury B&B has that homely feel of a place that's been welcoming walkers and cyclists for years.

This is one for anyone after a roof and a real bed rather than canvas and pegs — hostel-style bunks for groups or solo travellers on a budget, plus camping pods if you want your own space but can't face tent life in November drizzle. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're bringing a four-legged companion. It's the kind of spot that works for Ramblers Association weekends, Duke of Edinburgh groups, or anyone just passing through who fancies a hot shower and someone else doing the washing-up.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so best to ring and check what's available before you book. Campfires need confirming on arrival. Open all year, which makes it a decent winter bolthole when most campsites have long since locked the gates.
