The Feel Visit Athelhampton House And Gardens
We’ve just enjoyed a lovely little break down in Dorset. Just over two hours’ drive from our place in London, Dorset is one of our favourite counties to visit. Over the last few years, we’ve ventured all over the region, checking out iconic spots such as Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, kayaking in Weymouth, meandering through the subtropical gardens at Abbotsbury, sipping wine at Langham Wine Estate and admiring the history of Corfe Castle.
This time our destination was Athelhampton House and Gardens, a spectacular Tudor manor house near Dorchester. It’s somewhere steeped in history, with its Great Hall dating back to 1485, numerous renovations over the years and an interesting connection to novelist and poet Thomas Hardy.

Why Visit Athelhampton House And Gardens?
Athelhampton House is a stunning historic manor with a rich history dating back over 500 years. Most visitors buy a combined ticket to see both the house and the gardens. Inside the house you can see various artefacts from throughout the ages, including the Great Hall, the manor’s ancient kitchen, traditional dining room, 15th century bedroom and spaces for entertaining, including a billiards room.
Meanwhile, outside there’s plenty to see too. The formal gardens are unique in their layout, separated into smaller ‘rooms’ rather than one large space.
The history spans over 500 years and has a lot of twists and turns! There have been numerous owners, renovations and a few spooky tales too.
Come back, I’m getting more and more eager to search and search. And…..I finally found this Maharani Beach Hotel. But what’s funny and strange is, how come the name of this hotel doesn’t appear in the search suggestions for hotels in the area around Kuta Beach when I do a search through an online travel application? Hmmm…
After finding this hotel via Google, I just returned to the online travel application to check prices. And taraaa……! Yeay! I found a price of around 700 thousand per night in the best room type of this hotel, where the information I saw on the application, this price is a discount price of around 50% from the normal price
When I checked via Google Maps, the location of Maharani Beach Hotel is really very strategic in the Kuta Beach area. Close to the beach, the location of this hotel is also close to a mall, namely Beachwalk Kuta Bali. Oh yes, just for information, this mall is actually close to 2 well-known hotels, namely the Harris Hotel and the Sheraton Hotel. But…..don’t ask, it’s impossible for us to make these two hotels our vacation options for those days, haha. Just look at the price per night, which reaches around 2 million to 3 million! It’s impossible, isn’t it… Hehe.
And in the image below is the appearance of our search results about 1 month before May 10 2018, which is compared to hotel prices that we saw on the same online travel application but on D-1 before May 10 2018. A very significant difference ! This is what makes me feel even more fortunate to be able to take a vacation on the long weekend that time. How could that be? That’s when I thought before the holiday departure day yesterday.
At that time we thought, maybe the hotel took advantage of the long weekend holiday moment for travelers who were looking for a hotel suddenly, so hotel prices became very high compared to usual days. Yes, maybe
