It was lovely to get away with the family. We had 4 lodges in total. The welcome food extras were excellent. Everyone commented on how good the bread was. We were able to get a large food delivery to the lodge door which was fabulous. The hot tubs were a massive hit with children and adults alike. The owners were very helpful and always answered any questions that I had. Highly recommend.Many thanks

One observation was that some of the party got bitten by mosquitoes (nothing to do with the lodges but time of year and sitting outside) …so I would pack mosquito spray and ointment. I did have some with me but more by luck than judgement.

Myself, friend & her dog stayed at the lodge. We didn’t travel anywhere, it was perfect. We just wanted complete rest & relaxation away from people & everyday life. It was wonderful! Being disabled, the lodge was excellent. Shower seat provided & everything that was needed was available. The hot tub was the best I’ve had. Stepping down into the hot tub was ideal. We had a grocery delivery upon our arrival with ready meals (something we don’t normally have at home) No proper cooking needed which was bliss. We had a takeaway one night, delivery time was only 20 minutes! A fabulous stay. We shall definitely be returning.

Signal & WiFi would have been helpful. Purely, to let my husband at home know everything was ok. This is the first time being away without my husband, therefore he worried if he didn’t hear from me each day. Personal circumstances due to my disabilities, & probably not a negative for others who stay here.

We booked last minute and were pleasantly surprised by the accommodation's flexibility in catering to our needs, from tailored room setups to thoughtful complimentary treats like cake and bread in the lodge. The wooden lodge exudes a beautiful aesthetic, ideal for a charming getaway. While it's worth noting that there's no WiFi in the lodges, this turned out to be a blessing for us, as we, being workaholics, were in dire need of a true break to unwind. Disconnecting from the online world allowed us to genuinely relax and immerse ourselves in the tranquil surroundings. The highlight was undoubtedly the hot tub, a luxurious addition that surpassed our expectations and while relaxing in the hot tub we were lucky to see the breathtaking display of the northern lights on Saturday, the 11th. A truly unforgettable experience. Check-in was effortless, as the lodge was prepared and unlocked upon our arrival. Similarly, checking out was a breeze; we simply needed to leave the key in the door before departing. Overall, it was a truly fantastic stay—one that we wholeheartedly recommend to family and friends. We're already looking forward to returning soon!

Wonderful place to unwind and get away from technology and hustle bustle. Around an hour from Durdle Door and the Sandbanks ferry for a lovely little trip out to the coast, and located nearby to a local Morrisons. The cabin was roomy and spacious with a brilliant electric reclining sofa, very comfortable. Extra plug-in heater was great to have as it did get chilly once the fire went out of the evening. Great hot tub with entry from around the back for more privacy. The indoor spa bath was a bonus and was great to be able to bring the dog away with us. Owners were really lovely to talk to and brought us more logs to the cabin to use on the fire, they even brought us a bottle of bubbly to celebrate our anniversary which was so sweet of them.

Very small thought, but it would have been great to have an enclosed area around each cabin as there were many other dogs around, just to give that extra bit of security especially of an evening when taking the dog out for a last bathroom break before bed. The phone signal was very low in the area (not a fault of the accommodation, just worth the mention if you rely on technology a lot.)

We loved our stay pretty much everything we needed was supplied the fresh cake and bread were amazing having milk in the fridge was also a nice touch The Lodge itself was stunning just a very beautiful place to stay having sky tv was unexpected aswell even though the weather was lovely we had to try out the log burner very cozy we will definitely be back

Absolutely nothing the best place

Lodges were clean and well equipped.

Although no WiFi is mentioned, the fact that there is no mobile signal either is disappointing. As other reviewers have said, at least having some signal would allow customers to enjoy a bit of music of their choice whilst enjoying the hot tub. One of the beds in lodge 4 was really poor but thankfully we were only a couple and the other was ok. Also when entering the site, I thought I'd arrived at the wrong place as its not at all appealing and indeed off-putting too. Other than that, had a lovely stay

Location. Was so peaceful. Lovely surroundings. Very warm and cosy. Comfortable beds. Well equipped. Very clean. A very good info folder.

There was no Wi-Fi and we couldn’t get any signal on our phones. It may have said when I booked but I didn’t notice. Wasn’t a big problem at all. Just unexpected. The ramp (made of decking) to walk up towards the door was extremely slippery. There were anti slip strips but inbetween them was very slippery. Just think the decking needs to be jet washed to remove the slimy surface.

The is not a large commercial site and has a genuine rural remote feel to it- because it is, yet Verwood is only 5 mins away for resupplies etc. The lodge was immaculate with a loaf of bread, gorgeous cake and bottle of fizz in the fridge, along with a pint of milk waiting for us on check in- it's the little things!! From start to finish there was nothing we could fault- the site is quiet and private and well maintained. The lack of phone signal and wifi is bliss, but a 2 min walk up the hill rectifies that, for a daily 'check in ' with the outside world. The lodge is large, warm and very comfortable. The well thought out layout, affords privacy which is welcome when using the hot-tub, which is maintained daily.

Having to go home..

Beautiful lodges with lots of character. we had two double bedrooms both with en suite. There was lots of room with a nice size living area and kitchen. We had a washing machine and tumble dryer aswell so no need to travel home with dirty clothes. A small hideaway. Not far from the supermarket yet you feel totally off grid. Hot tub was fantastic, all very private. The small gestures of lemon cake, bread, milk and tea and coffee was a lovely welcome. Would 100% return for another break from it all and recharge. The lack of phone signal was a surprise, but loved the peace of not having constant calls and messages from work. Although with one frail mother and two pooches being looked after was a tad worrying in case there was an emergency. we got used to it in the end and the break away ended far too soon.

We seperated our rubbish as the norm but when we went to drop it off there was only one large bin for all the rubbish. Am hoping this doesn’t hinder the collection.

Beautifully secluded, quiet location. Own private hot tub ready upon arrival and arrived to lodge with lots of little extras and finishing touches. Lots of information prior to arrival and able to order little extras - highly recommend Dorsecco. Beautifully kept lodge, lovely decor and felt very homely and comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen. Loved hearing wildlife and seeing all the birds.

3 nights flew by, need to stay for longer! (No criticism of stay, absolutely loved it and enjoyed the break from phone with no signal/WiFi... just wish had booked longer stay)
