About Us

Your Hosts, Nick and Georgina Maynard, delight in sharing their love of Dorset and country life, and have a wealth of knowledge about interesting and quirky places off the usual tourist beat.

They have three dogs - Labradors, Harry Potter, Dumbledore and Merlin the lurcher - are always looking for an excuse to show you around the park. And the old hunters, Poppy and Norman, stand majestically in the paddock hoping for an apple.

When not creating sumptuous meals for their guests, Georgina, who is an artist, can be found in her garden studio painting portraits of animals and humans. You may meet some of her subjects as they arrive for a sitting - and it is not unknown for guests to commission her themselves!

If you would like to look round her studio or see my portfolio books - just ask.

Nick has spent a lifetime in the food industry and living in the West Country he has a fund of good stories about country life with its hunting and shooting characters. Their love of life and enthusiasm for all good things is obvious and they are only too pleased to share it with you.

Take time out and let Frampton House envelope you with calm and serenity, washing away the stresses and strains of this hectic life in this beautiful country setting.
