The Coppleridge Inn is contained in a former farmhouse complex on the edge of the village of Motcombe. The village is nestled between the North Dorset towns of Shaftesbury and Gillingham. Much of the property and its grounds have uninterrupted views of the Blackmore Vale.

Motcombe village and parish is one of the largest in Dorset, having a population of approximately 1,500 residents. On the south-western edge of the village is Motcombe Park, home to Port Regis School, an independent preparatory school situated in grounds of approximately 140 acres.

The nearby town of Shaftesbury is an ancient hilltop town close to the Wiltshire border. At over 750 feet above sea level, Shaftesbury is one of the highest towns in England and has a population of approximately 9,000. It has magnificent views over Thomas Hardy's Blackmore Vale and is positioned on the edge of Cranborne Chase (AONB). The town is a popular tourist destination thanks to its array of independent shops, boutiques, tearooms, gift shops and restaurants, as well as the famous steep, cobbled street of Gold Hill.

Motcombe has good transport links, being situated close to three main trunk roads: the A303, A30 and A350. The nearest station is in Gillingham (Dorset) and trains run along the South Western Railway line between London Waterloo and Exeter St David's.

The Coppleridge Inn occupies a notable two storey property with various outbuildings. It stands in substantial grounds of approximately 10 acres.
