Fully equipped and kitchen had everything we needed was perfect for a short break. Ideal location would return again. ##### Kirsty Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ASHAN 7 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication I have stayed here a few times, never been disappointed and will always come back for another visit. ##### ASHAN Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan 21 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great value and amazing location Amazing value for money... such lovely location in the forest. Good location for the coast not far and Wareham for supplies and good pubs / restaurants. Will definitely be coming back. ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Victoria 23 Aug 2025 Liked: Amenities, communication Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Large lodge style house, good space for large families /groups. Quite dated inside and basically furnished. Carpet tiles/lino etc. bathrooms could do with a refit but all reflected in the price. Good value for a golf trip or to explore the Jurassic coast. ##### Victoria Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Perfect cabin retreat. Such a stunning location by a forest and next to great golf club if you play. Not that it's a requirement as these lovely cabins are perfect for groups trips and families. The cabins have everything you'd need and feels like a ski chalet with all the wood and sauna. Rarely do you get this sort of level of accommodation at such a good price. Would advise someone to book without hesitation. A car is probably best but otherwise near to lots of the coastal attractions eg Durdle Door and Corfe Castle etc. ##### Jonathan Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Justin 1 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Everything was great with our visit! The lodge was easy to locate, immaculate, and the staff at the check in desk were fantastic. Would definitely stay here again! The private sauna in the lodge was brilliant too! Couldn't fault the visit at all ##### Justin Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Amazing accomodation, beautiful location Comms were good from beginning to end and everything was easy and clear. The property was clean and well equipped a minor issue was wear and tear on the dining chairs and honestly the mattresses were too soft for my personal taste ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timothy 22 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Lovely Place Very nice wooden lodges. Beautiful place and even had some deers outside the balcony. ##### Timothy Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle 11 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great stay. The lodges are great and they have thought of everything. Thank you ##### Michelle Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate 29 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Spacious and well laid out accommodation. Well equipped and comfortable. Ground floor accommodation with great accessibility. Only negatives were that heating was way too hot and couldn’t control, showers cycled randomly from boiling hot to cold and a lot of negative instruction signs telling us what not to do or couldn’t do gave it a bit of a negative feel. ##### Kate Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hana 11 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness All good, great for a big family trip to Dorset. But they could be responsive when communicating online - I tried reaching out via Expedia messaging and got no reply what so ever. Also very old and tatty beds, and hard pillows. Bring your own mattress topper and pillow if you are sensitive to bedding. Although Expedia says 9.30am check out, we were advised to leave by 10am. However would be nice if they gave us until 11am, like most other holiday homes. ##### Hana Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Samir 2 Sept 2025 Liked: Amenities The properties are a great space and ample of bathrooms and toilets. However the lodge we had one of them was dated and tired and needed a renovation . The flooring and sofas were in need of a desperate change On a self catering basis having a kitchen and living room Upstairs was not ideal. Additionally the insulation is so poor between the wallls and floors , if one person is talking in the morning or evening everyone can hear ! ##### Samir Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mehvish 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The property was clean. Just the beds were single Beds in all couple rooms. Would be great if they had double beds instead. ##### Mehvish Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam 29 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication The log cabin was stunning in beautiful surroundings. It was raining unfortunately for most of our stay but we still had an amazing escape. Having popped out to collect a takeaway from a local town we even encountered a deer on the hotel grounds, grazing and seeming unfazed by us. The only slight drawbacks were that I found the beds too soft for me personally. I would advise anyone staying to plan their eating in advance as the hotel resort is quite remote. The towns being a 25 minute drive away. Stunning scenery, just don’t expect everything to be on your doorstep ##### Adam Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nazima 24 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities A very clean and spacious accommodation! A beautiful holiday home with everything you need for a comfortable self catered stay. Perfectly located for exploring the amazing jurrasic coast, only 20 minutes from the amazing Lulworth cove and Durdle door. The only negative is that the reception staff did not communicate much upon arrival, just handed over the keys and directed us to our lodge! Then again at check out, the receptionist was dismissive and didn't even ask if we'd had a good stay! ##### Nazima Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RALITSA 20 Feb 2022 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Thank you! Our stay in Lulworth house was unique. Everything in the house was up to standard, but unfortunately the weather and the storm created a lot of inconvenience. The damage to the electricity left us without the opportunity to prepare food, heating and hot water. Lighting and firewood were provided for the fireplace which helped us have a great time. We will definitely visit this place again! ##### RALITSA Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 17 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Excellent facility for a joint family trip. The washing machine broke on the first day but they took our washing and did it all, very good, as we had two small children. Otherwise everything was great and the staff were very helpful. Good location to visit many places of interest and fun. ##### William Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I love the location of this property, so quiet and relaxing but near Monkey World, Weymouth beach, Durdle door. Great pubs nearby also. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 17 Apr 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice accommodation in a beautiful area. Excellent for a quiet family weekend away ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard 12 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great for families Great for families, very well equipped and spacious. Some appliances in kitchen not all in perfect order but overall everything needed and the addition of a separate utility room was so useful. ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer 27 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Dorset retreat We had a great few days in Abbotsbury Lodge on the Dorset Resort. The lodge was spacious and family friendly. There is everything you could possibly need to self cater. There were only 5 of us but it could sleep up to 9, plenty of beds, showers, towels etc. Parking for 2 cars outside the lodge and space around it. We ate breakfast twice at the Clubhouse and everyone enjoyed their choices. I used the takeaway service for tea for me and two children one evening, which we actually ate in the clubhouse. There is a restaurant but this saw little use during our stay. The Dorset Resort staff were friendly and helpful. Be aware that food is not readily available after 5.0pm. You do need to order food before 5.0pm and collect it by 7.00pm. However, there are several restaurants nearby. The addition of a play area or maybe a crazy golf course could encourage families to stay here. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and hope to return. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6E569D0DC3E7BC67AC1DB845571BC9EDA62083561582807938844.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6F22D00D33B987FF6992CA2767B6C1856822E6A61582807940797.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8D12339318067FE620FD25C6D65F176AC342E9D91582807946988.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8F3C252C27B2D109534D5158F27F2CB12D78F0B51582807940063.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Carden Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Carden-Park.h190780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Stansted Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Stansted-Airport.h18464320.Hotel-Information) > > [Stratford Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Stratford-Manor.h27936.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashford International Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Ashford-International-Hotel.h527123.Hotel-Information) > > [Retallack Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Columb-Major-Hotels-Retallack-Resort.h4537229.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand Bay Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Weston-Super-Mare-Hotels-Sand-Bay-Holiday-Village.h11443695.Hotel-Information) > > [St Michael's Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falmouth-Hotels-St-Michaels-Resort.h2951426.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza Stratford Upon Avon by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Stratford-Upon-Avon.h11307.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Norbreck Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Norbreck-Castle-Hotel.h6377.Hotel-Information) > > [Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashford-Hotels-Eastwell-Manor.h905662.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollins Hall Hotel, Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shipley-Hotels-Hollins-Hall-Hotel.h63744.Hotel-Information) > > [Chesford Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kenilworth-Hotels-Chesford-Grange.h920291.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-Grand-Burstin-Hotel-Folkestone.h1201483.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-The-Mill-Hotel-Spa.h1695656.Hotel-Information) > > [Village Hotel Manchester Ashton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ashton-Under-Lyne-Hotels-Village-Hotel-Manchester-Ashton.h1848975.Hotel-Information) > > [The Winchester Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-The-Winchester-Hotel-Spa.h26080.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton at St George's Park, Burton Upon Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Hilton-At-St-Georges-Park.h5094740.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester, Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Manchester.h120016.Hotel-Information) > > [The Spa Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Tunbridge-Wells-Hotels-The-Spa-Hotel.h8849.Hotel-Information) > > [Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Hythe-Imperial-Hotel-Spa-Golf.h9108.Hotel-Information) > > [The Rutland Arms Hotel, Bakewell, Derbyshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bakewell-Hotels-The-Rutland-Arms-Hotel.h792056.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Beach Club & Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Harbour-Beach-Club-Hotel-Spa.h2261933.Hotel-Information) > > [Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newquay-Hotels-Fistral-Beach-Hotel-And-Spa-Adults-Only.h1895493.Hotel-Information) > > [Worcester Whitehouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worcester-Hotels-Worcester-Whitehouse.h18498.Hotel-Information) > > [Cotswolds Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-Cotswolds-Hotel-Spa.h13106835.Hotel-Information) ---
