I used to drive that 14m double decker into there! You can come in from either way, however if you come into coach park with the coach park on your left you have to reverse into entrance and if you come into it with the coach park on the right then you need to drive into it and turn it round in the coach park!! It is a lot easier to go past it and come back (so coach park is on your right!) if that makes sense, if you don’t do it as I say either a tree or the sign will bite!!

I had that place 3 times in one week! It’s not as bad as it looks! The sign for it is tiny as you come up the hill turn right, then a narrow lane until you get to a get turn with a green thing! Go Dow. There and it’s on your right.

B3165 from Beaminster turn right to Hooke then right after a couple of miles to Hooke and Kingcombe Hooke Court comes up on the right it's narrow in places but it's the best way in and out big area for coaches.

Do not go in from the Dorchester end, you will not make the left turn into the lane. As mentioned, go in from Beaminster.
When you come out, do not try going through Hooke village, You have to turn left out of the centre's car park.
When coming out, if you meet an inbound coach you will have to reverse back to the centre, Incoming coaches have nowhere to reverse / turn around on the way in.
