Property was exactly as described and expected. We stayed during the TANKFEST in Bovington and it was the perfect escape. The space was more than enough for our family and dinners at Smugglers Inn and the property restaurant were wonderful.

Basic and good value in a nice private country club with good facilities. Great base to explore Dorset and a 5 minute walk on a coastal path through a field to the coast and decent pub. The owners were helpful and easily contactable. We were caught out by the lack of towels but that's my own fault for not reading the blurb properly.

Beautiful spot

We just loved sitting on the deck in the sun with sea views to the left and rolling countryside to the right. The wander to the Smuggler's for a beautiful Sunday roast and a romp over the cliffs at Lulworth to Durdle Dor made for a lovely family break.

Lovely position with sea view and short walk to the Smugglers Inn. The lodge was clean, spacious and well equipped. We had a friendly, helpful reception at the Club and our toddler enjoyed the play area. We will definitely go back.

Short break

We arrived very late as our ferry into Poole was late but the security guard was excellent & made us feel very welcome. Good base for short break, had everything we needed, booked primarily to visit Tank Museum at Bovington but also to explore Dorset. Shame outdoor pool had so few time slots for booking - don't rely on being able to use it!

The owners were extremely communicative and helpful. Thank you Lisa. The chalet has wonderful views and being on the edge of the park it didn't feel at all cramped or overlooked by other chalets. Overall the property was very clean inside. Perhaps a little more attention could be given to the outside. I would still recommend it it to anyone.

Great lodge

Overall we had a great time here. Spacious and comfortable for us three, with everything working. One star deducted for the online listing as it showed having a travel cot which it didn't. However, this was confirmed prior to our travel so full stars for good communication.

We all really loved the location and the Lodge. The view was great, overlooking the sea and we thought it was probably one of the best located on the site. The only downside was the sofas which really need to be replaced. The staff at the reception and the country club were really nice and helpful and the weather was perfect which was the icing on the cake.

Hi Vanessa, Thank you for your review, we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay, We are aware of the sofa situation, they deteriorated quite rapidly over the season. I am pleased to say we have new ones being delivered this weekend. Best regards, Lisa

Easter weekend away

Very clean with plenty to use in the kitchen. Very warm and lovely comfortable beds. A little dated, a few knobs kept coming off when we opened doors. No plug sockets near a mirror to use hair dryer etc. Hosts were very helpful before our stay and views are amazing. Local pub is lovely, especially in the sunshine.

James bought the lodge in 2006 having spent his childhood holidays in the area. We now love coming to Osmington Mills for our own family holidays and getaways, it is such a lovely, unspoily part of the south coast and there are great walks on the doorstep which all the family like.
