West Lodge has the benefits of being a wonderful rural retreat yet it is within easy reach of local amenities and attractions. It is located just a mile outside Corfe Castle and a short stroll from the village of Church Knowle, with its local pub and fish restaurant. West Lodge is positioned in the centre of the Isle of Purbeck, designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, with a World Heritage Jurassic coastline. Such a central location means that the famous dinosaur/fossil beach of Kimmeridge to the West, the bustling seaside town of Swanage to the South and the Blue Flag sandy beaches of Studland to the East are all within 15 minutes drive of West Lodge. No navigating narrow country lanes or long journeys to the coast! Paths and trails lead from the doorstep along the valley floor or up onto the ridge of the Purbeck Way and are popular with walkers and cyclists alike. Maps and books of trails are provided, as too is a comprehensive list of what to do in the area. Just 5 miles from West Lodge is the market town of Wareham, where you will find eateries, pubs and shops. Grab yourself an ice cream or take a boat trip along the River Frome. There are so many different things to do here you will truly be spoilt for choice and after a full day of exploring, what better way to end it than by returning to West Lodge to unwind and relax with your family and friends. Whether it is the sun-seeking beach escape or the festive celebration, West Lodge has year-round appeal. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Books - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Fenced yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - Unit size: 2,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18930000/18922100/18922077/f4ce8e7c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beautiful large Georgian house with a big garden.
