"Jackie & Alan are lovely people and great hosts."
We arrived late in the evening and Jackie had made some delicious scones with jam and clotted cream. The weather was rather stormy during some of our stay but the games room was a godsend and much appreciated. The lodge is very well equipped, spacious and clean. We had a lovely stay and will return. It is evident that lots of thought has been put into the accommodation as everything we needed was there. Thanks again, Jackie & Alan

"Jackie and Alan were lovely hosts, so helpful and friendly."
The lodge was as described, clean, comfortable. Best equipped holiday let we have been to. All instructions for all appliances were provided as well as other useful information. The sconces and cream were delicious. Shame about the weather and spiders lol but hey it is in the countryside. Would happily rebook if visiting the area again. Would recommend Haynes motor museum if you like cars.

"A gem of a property, very spacious, clean and comfortable."
The hosts live on site and are lovely. Happily took my daughter to see their horses and chickens on site. The horses can be seen from the living room of Brookfield Lodge which was a great view to wake up to every day. The games room is a lovely bonus (although I discovered being left-handed did me no favours trying to win table-football lol!). The property is very well equipped for cooking and in a great location - less than 30 minutes to the Jurassic coast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.
Pleased you had a lovely time here Really enjoyed showing your family our horses, Chickens and Ducks. The games room does provide some fun entertainment. We are so glad you enjoyed your holiday. Property Owner

"Lovely holiday lodge and warm welcome on arrival and throughout the week."
Great location for exploring Dorset and Devon coastlines.
Lovely to meet you and pleased you had a great holiday Property Owner

"The owners were great and made us feel really welcome."
The listing portrayed the accommodation accurately. Our grandson loved the games room and the opportunity to see the horses. We had a problem with the shower but it was immediately fixed when we reported it. The scones on arrival were delicious. All in all it was a great holiday venue and we hope to return again.
Thank you pleased you had a lovely holiday. The shower problem was the electric pull switch. Thank you for alerting us and we were able to get it changed. Looking forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"We had a brilliant holiday at Brookfield Lodge."
Jacqui and Alan were perfect hosts. The pictures in the ads don’t do the house justice as it it much bigger than it looks. We had everything we needed and there’s a rack for a disposable Bar b que. It is a small holding wth horses ducks and chickens. The eggs are delicious buy some!!!! West bay is half hour away and the food at Rise was top notch It’s a proper seaside town with a lovely harbour and some quirky shops We also visited Forde Abbey 10 minutes away which was probably the best garden we have ever been to. The highest fountain in the uk is a sight to see. We also travelled to Abbotsbury sub tropical gardens which had a lovely cafe for lunch. The views of the coast on the drive there were stunning. The local pub is excellent and the Sunday roast was lovely. They even had Morris dancers turn up !!!. Our dogs loved their holiday as did we. I would fully recommend staying here ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"Mr and Mrs Scutt could not have been more helpful and friendly loved the scones and fresh cream when we arrived."
I have never stayed in a property that was so well equipped in the kitchen even down to dishwasher tablets. The weather was really good and we were able to venture out everyday. We found the property easy to find and were gre rated by the owners. The local pub was an excellant choice for Sunday roast but you must book. Found many nice pubs around especially The Greyhound in Beaminster food excellant, and very dog friendly as were all the places we visied.t
Thank you we are pleased you enjoyed your holiday at our lodge Property Owner

"Jackie and Alan made me so very welcome."
The cottage is spacious and was spotlessly clean. Having the enclosed garden was great for the dog. The kitchen was really well equipped and there was coffee, tea etc., available. The scones, jam and cream were delicious, thank you Jackie. It is an extremely comfortable and well run cottage and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Thank you we are pleased you had a lovely stay Property Owner

"Lots of room in this property although there was only two of us."
The games room was a nice touch for rainy days and the scones, cream and jam provided by Jackie were delicious.

"It was so comfortable and easy, the owners were lovely but not intrusive."
We would go again

"This place was ideal for us in terms of facilities."
After becoming disabled last year, I needed somewhere I could use my wheelchair if I needed to and shower easily. The lodge was excellent for this and has the best equipped kitchen I have seen anywhere - even my own home! I’d brought a few bits as a contingency measure (Sharp knife, roasting tray, good veg peeler etc.) as self catering places are usually lacking in these things, but they all stayed packed all week as weren’t needed at all. Our dog was welcomed and it didn’t feel like tick box exercise. Scones and cream on arrival (my husband demolished these as I am Coeliac and his sister who came with us is vegan) as well as milk. There was salt, pepper oil and cleaning stuff too. Really comfy sofas and beds. The only thing we would have added, was something in the shower to put shower gel, shampoo and conditioner as there is only a soap tray. That is a tiny thing though, when you consider you’re on holiday! The roads are very narrow to get from the property to surrounding areas. We have a large estate car to accommodate the wheelchair, and due to a lack of passing places, journeys in bad weather or the dark were not pleasant. Other than that, it is ideally situated to reach so many places. I would definitely stay again - Jeff wouldn’t as he did the driving and isn’t as confident as he once was. Thank you for having us! Kirsty, Jeff, Lynn and Maggie

"Alan and Jackie made us feel very welcome."
The provision of the essentials such as Tea, Coffee etc was much appreciated as were the scones so generously provided. We did struggle to find the property as the bus stop which it is opposite is well hidden and the view of the property from the road is not clear but in fairness there were clear signs at the bottom of the drive which we should have been looking for! Our stay was mainly in wet , damp weather so combined with the very recent loss of the dog which we had planned to bring with us we perhaps didn’t get the best out of our stay. Drimpton is very tucked away in the Dorset countryside and yet is in easy reach of Bridport. The local village pubs are a real treat although the local one didn’t have any food available on the Saturday night which was a disappointment…fortunately the one in the village of Broadwindsor was still serving food ( just ) !

"The property is comfortable and spacious, the kitchen is very well equipped and there is plenty of wardrobe and storage space in the bedrooms."
The owners are very friendly and welcoming and we really appreciated the delicious homemade scones and mince pies when we arrived. Our stay was over the Christmas period so it was lovely to have Christmas decorations including a tree with beautiful "baubles" hand made by the owner and also to have the space (and enough crockery etc.) to host a post-Christmas buffet lunch for family who live in the area. We are very likely to make a return visit as the property is ideal for us.
Thank you for your lovely comments. We enjoyed making your stay comfortable and Christmasey, It was lovely to meet your family and that you were able to get together at this exciting time of the year. Looking forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

"On arrival at Brookfield Lodge we were greeted by the friendly owners, who had left us lovely home-made scones - delicious!"
The property itself was very homely, clean & spacious, & the games room was an added bonus. We enjoyed the peaceful location & making friends with the horses, cats, ducks & chickens. We had a lovely relaxing time on our holiday - thank you. We thoroughly recommend.

"Lovely spacious lodge and a warm welcome from owners Jackie and Alan."
The children loved watching the ducks and horses in the field. We spent a lot of time in the games room playing table tennis and table football tournaments. Our dogs appreciated having the enclosed garden. We both need a much firmer bed to sleep in which is why we’ve given 4 and not 5 stars. However our overall stay was lovely, thank you so much.
Thank you we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. If we are made aware of any issues we are always happy to help resolve them. Property Owner

"We had a great stay with two older children and two small dogs (nice enclosed garden even for our little Daschunds)."
The cottage was great for all our needs and saying hello to the ducks, chickens and horses every day was great. The location is good for visiting all over Dorset and even dropping into neighbouring Devon and Somerset. The owners are very friendly and very helpful. Also the home made scones were a lovely welcome (and delicious).
Thank you for your lovely comments and very pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"We had a lovely comfortable stay at Brookfield lodge."
The house was perfect for us. Easy access was important as my wife & mother in law have mobility issues.It was clean and tidy with all the mod cons you would need. Secure garden for our two westie dogs.The horse ,ducks and chickens kept the dogs alert and entertained.It was lovely to sit in on the patio and listen to the variety of bird song. Thoroughly recommend this property. Loads to do & see locally.

"Very welcoming hosts."
Property surprisingly spacious, ideal for those less able (wet room especially) and also great games room for any wet days. Really enjoyed the peaceful garden, listening to the ducks burbling and blackbirds singing. Good good at the Royal Oak, especially Sunday lunch.

"Had a lovely stay at Brookfield Lodge and Jackie & Alan were very welcoming."
Lounge was comfy & kitchen well equipped, which was good as we were there over Xmas and cooked quite a bit! Lovely, peaceful location and nice to look at the horses from the lounge. We found the double mattress a bit uncomfortable but apart from that everything was great.
Very pleased to know you had a lovely stay at our holiday cottage. Sorry you found the double mattress uncomfortable as other visitors have said how comfortable the bed was. We are happy to assist with any problems if required. Property Owner
-
"What a delightful place to stay, very friendly and cream and scones left for us that was a nice touch."
We would definitely book again if we were going that way. A lovely pub as well.
-
"Really nice place to stay in (our second visit),Facilities are great there, the only thing we could have done with is a bigger freezer."
Lovely welcome from the owners and lots to see and do there. We had scones and cream waiting for us on arrival, that was a lovely touch. Can’t wait to book for a 2024 holiday there.
-
"Lovely comfortable stay in this cottage, which is situated in a quiet village."
Very spacious as adapted for wheelchair users. Was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and the games room kept the children from getting bored. Took our two dogs and they loved the enclosed garden. There are horses, ducks & hens in the owners garden next door but they were very accommodating as our dogs don’t particularly like other animals. Warm welcome from the owners with lovely homemade scones. Local pub 4 minute walk which served good food and welcoming. Highly recommended.
-
"The owners were friendly and available to help us in any way they could."
When our food delivery didn’t arrive they kindly gave us fresh duck eggs from their garden for our breakfast! It was a spacious house with a well equipped kitchen and good outdoor seating area. Lots of games and books in the games room with a very good quality ping-pong table.
-
"We had a lovely week , the lodge was perfect for our needs and was well equiped and the location was ideal for visiting the coast ."

"Great holiday with grandchildren."
. Peaceful location. Very well equiped. .Games room and animals made it special for children. Would book again.

"We had our 2 toddler grandsons and our 2 daughters with us and all thoroughly enjoyed Brookfield Lodge, the boys especially loved watching the ducks and the horses."
There was plenty of space for the boys to run around and for Grannie and Grandad not to get in the way! The Lodge is well equipped, although a mop might have been useful for the kitchen floor after the boys had eaten. The owners were very friendly and welcoming, the cream tea on our arrival was a delight!
Was lovely to meet you all especially the toddlers and very pleased they enjoyed the animals and ducks. A mop is supplied in the games room cupboard we are sorry you didn't find it but we are always happy to help if any problems arise. Hope to see you again. Property Owner

"This property is comfortable and well equipped as well as being suitable for anyone with mobility issues."
It is in a lovely location. The owners are helpful, live next door to the property and happily assist with any queries. If we go to Dorset again we will rebook.

"We stayed in the lodge from the end of May, and it was perfect."
The lodge was really clean, and spacious with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The two bathrooms were great as me and my son had one and my parents had the other. The wetroom was great for my mum who has mobility issues. We all loved the garden and seeing the horses . My son loved feeding them an apple, and Jackie and Alan were wonderful too. They took the time to answer his many questions about all their animals and let him see the chickens and take a freshly laid egg. The yummy home made cream tea was also much appreciated after our journey. The lodge itself is close to many beautiful places and attractions. We will definitely be back again, and will recommend to all our friends.
-
"Jackie and Alan are lovely hosts."
From home made scones, jam and cream on day of arrival to duck eggs to take home with us. The property is very good. I have a slight disability and the ramp up to the door and the wet room were wonderful for me. If you had children with you the property has a games room. The local area is beautiful. Burton Bradstock was such a wonderful find. Lyme Regis is also lovely. If you enjoy a cliff walk then WestBay or Seatown are both very good with wonderful views. The property has a lovely garden to sit in. This was our second visit to Brookfield Lodge and I would highly recommend it.

"Better than advertised."
A fantastic cottage in a truly peaceful location. Ideally located within easy reach of the coast. Hosts were brilliant. Thank you.
-
"Our Holiday at Brookfield Lodge was brilliant really enjoyed our week there the accommodation was great and comfortable."
Overall a really enjoyable holiday.
-
"Owner welcoming but not intrusive."
Freshly made scones were delicious. The facilities were very good except the WiFi was very intermittent and no signal in the lounge. The accommodation is more suited to a family with 2 children rather than 2 couples. The wet room is not ideal as a multi functional bathroom as after a shower everything is wet through due to lack of air circulation and had to leave the door open to help dry out.
Thank you for taking the time to give us your valuable feedback. We have had problems with the Wifi coverage and have sourced some new equipment, which was installed between changeovers last Saturday, and now offers a much better signal which extends into the garden. The wet room is enjoyed by many visitors of all ages, the fan, which comes on with the light could be left on for a while after use. We haven't had any complaints from previous guests regarding this. We always ask our guests to contact us if they have any problems as we would be happy to assist them if we'd been made aware of their concerns during their stay. Property Owner

"The accommodation was so spacious and perfect for our family of 4."
The girls loved the games room and spotting the cats, ducks, chickens and horses from our garden. Everywhere was clean and well-equipped and the owners were friendly and welcoming. Such a beautiful part of the country to explore and this property provided the perfect base to do so.
-
"Had a fabulous week's stay with my husband and two sons (12 and 9)."
The accommodation was extremely clean and comfortable with nice quirky details, and much bigger than I expected. The boys loved playing in the games room and the hosts made us feel extremely welcome. Great location only 20 mins from the coast - we had a brilliant time. Thank you Jackie and Alan x

"A wonderful week in Dorset at Brookfield Lodge."
The property was excellent. Extremely clean with a great garden for our dog to venture out and say hello to the ducks, chickens and two horses. Delicious home made scones, jam and clotted cream were waiting for us when we arrived which was greatly appreciated. The lodge is conveniently located for visiting Beer, Bridport, West Bay, Weymouth and Lyme Regis. It was only a 50 minute drive into East Devon to visit the Bicton Botanical Gardens and lovely Sidmouth. Highly recommended with a 2022 return planned
-
"The accommodation was brilliant, super games room for rainy days, lovely hosts"
-
"The Owners were very pleasant & helpful without being intrusive and the location is tranquil and perfect for exploring Dorset and Devon."
-
"The owners were delightful and so helpful and friendly."
They could not have done any more to make us feel welcome. Scones, jam and cream on our arrival, along with tea, coffee, sugar and milk. My granddaughter loved the ducks and the chickens running around and it made her first holiday special.
-
"Excellent facilities friendly and very very well equipped would strongly recommend"
-
"Beautiful accommodation, included everything we needed."
Spotlessly clean and COVID safe. We were made to feel very welcome from the start with a lovely cream tea. Beautiful, tranquil surroundings, plenty of walks, easy reach of the coast. Would definitely recommend!
-
"Great hosts."
So friendly and welcoming. Lovely cream tea waiting for us.
-
"Alan and Jackie were friendly and welcoming with scones ,jam and cream on arrival ."
The accommodation was clean and spacious everything we needed for this holiday was supplied, we couldn't have asked for more, there was ample space to park our car. We also enjoyed sitting on the patio watching the two horses and the ducks. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend the accommodation to others
-
"Brookfield Lodge is quite simply idyllic in it’s lovely setting from horses and ducks to the tawny owl in the trees calling in the evening."
Everything you could possibly want and ask for inside the the Lodge is provided and all of a very good standard. Finally Jackie and Alan (hosts) are very friendly and on hand if you needed any assistance.
-
"The owners Jackie and Alan were brilliant and the lodge a fantastic place to stay in."
We could feed the horses and watch the ducks on the pond. The games room was well stocked with board games, books and puzzles. Also equipped with wheelchair and walking frame if disabled.
-
"Rural position emphasised with owners horses and ducks."
Very quiet village .Easy access to both inland and coastal towns
-
"The owners were lovely and provided everything we needed."
They made us some freshly made scones with homemade jam and clotted cream. We also got some duck eggs and chicken eggs. The ducks were very funny and made our stay even more enjoyable. The lodge was very comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the patio outside when the sun was shining, drinking our wine and watching the horses and the ducks. Our lads loved playing in the games room. We had a table tennis competition and played board games such as monopoly, frustration and cluedo when it rained and when we returned back to our lodge after a long day out driving around Dorset and visiting many beautiful coves.
-
"We had a fantastic stay at Brookfield, very quiet and peaceful surroundings with lovely hosts."
The farm animals around your garden really add to the charm of the location and the kids loved seeing the geese and horses, especially.
-
"Lodge is a home from home."
Exceptionally well equipped kitchen. Owners very helpful, delicious cream tea on last day. We were there during wet and windy weather so Lodge could be a little cold without heating on, but we could adjust it ourselves so not a problem. A little stool in lobby would be good idea to make it easier for us old fogies to put on our muddy boots :-)
-
"We had a lovely stay at Brookfield Lodge."
Jackie and Alan were very friendly and helpful and, despite the expected coolness of the English autumn, the accommodation was warm and cosy. Our children particularly enjoyed the games room. The location was very handy for trips to Dorchester and the coast, and not too far from Paultons Park (under 2 hours’ drive). The home-made cream tea on our last day was delicious and a lovely end to a very happy holiday.
-
"A lovely comfortable and well equipped bungalow."
Spotlessly clean and lovely owners, will definitely return
-
"A super cottage which far exceeded our expectations because having a dog sometimes means you don't always get first class accommodation."
The owners Jackie and Alan were on hand to give us info about the area etc. and the welcoming tray with tea and biscuits was a nice touch. Beware of Jackie's cream teas, they're delicious and very moreish:) A great holiday for us and Ellie the dog.
-
"We had a warm welcome from Jackie and Alan and were shown around the lodge on arrival and then left to get on with our holiday."
They live in the house next to the lodge and were always on hand if you needed anything. The lodge is spacious and well equipped and very tranquil. The Royal Oak pub is just up the road and we had some very nice meals there but would recommend you book a table as it's very popular. If you're on O2 you'll get a mobile signal but forget it if you're on Vodafone.
-
"The hosts are lovely people and even made us a Dorset cream tea."
The WiFi could have been better but it did not spoil a lovely family holiday Would definitely recommend and return
-
"The owners were friendly and welcoming."
Were available if we needed them without being intrusive. The accommodation had everything and more than we needed. Jackie and Alan provided extras such as a home made cream tea halfway through our stay. Delicious !
-
"Alan and Jackie were perfect host."
They made us feel very welcome as did the ducks. chickens and cats. The lodge is in excellent condition and was very clean and extremely comfortable. This lodge is brilliant if you have a member of your party that is disabled and/or in a wheelchair. Although we didn't use it the games room was very well equipped and would keep children happy for hours. The surrounding locations is as Jackie says " a hidden gem" Its an ideal location for visiting the Jurassic coast. However a car is a must. We will happily recommend this lodge and would be more than happy to re-book should we be in the area again. Oh and how could I forget the wonderful homemade scones which Jackie kindly made for us.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Brookfield Lodge, Jackie & Alan made us feel welcome as soon as we arrived."
The Lodge was spacious and much bigger than we expected, plenty of room for our wheelchair user to get around, the wet room and the offer of additional equipment also made the stay easier for her. We had lovely views over the garden with chickens, ducks, and horses and the family cats which added to the country escape we were looking for, definitely would stay here again.
-
"The cottage is situated in a lovely part of Dorset and within easy reach of interesting locations."
It is also very easy to cross in to neighbouring counties. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. They have two horses, several geese and chickens plus a lot of cats, all of which provide endless amusement. If we return to Dorset it will be to this cottage.
-
"We had a great week , the small holding was a complete surprise, like the good life."
Horses ducks chickens a gorgeous cockerel with wonderful plumage, two cats, and bee hives .we bought a jar of honey and duck eggs to take home. The owners Jackie and Alan were very nice . And gave us home made scones jam and clotted cream delicious . Our two dogs had a good time quite fascinated by the ducks.
-
"Brilliant. Better than expected."
Owners went the extra mile. Will definitely return
-
"Very pleasant stay."
Owners very attentive.

"It is a brilliantly conceived steel framed barn conversion, with wheelchair access everywhere and very conveniently positioned electrics, switches and sockets, and all facilities within reach."
A lot of work has been gone into this very comfortable, smart conversion. I spent nearly all of January in supreme comfort, the only thing missing was a tumble dryer, but a new washing machine and dishwasher made up for that, and it is a holiday home after all! The location, on the edge of the small village/hamlet is fine for those used to living in an urban environment, as there are few views over the countryside, a pub is the only commerce apart from the 'fish&chip van' every Tuesday evening! Being in a small river valley, it's uphill in all directions, wheelchair walks are not a good idea! You couldn't meet a nicer family than the Scutts (the owners) who made me very welcome, making me feel 'at home' and checking that I "had all I needed" very regularly. I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend to others, provided they have transport, or love walking!
-
"This is a perfect place to relax."
Nice location, very quiet & the hosts are very nice. They make delicious scones.
-
"The cottage was clean and comfortable and the owners made us feel very welcome."
The cream tea was a wonderful surprise, made extra special when our dogs were included with their own little bowl of gravy bones. Definitely considering a return visit, thank you Jackie & Alan
-
"The accommodation did meet expectations in terms of facilities, the lodge could do with a bit of maintenance for example the mattresses on the beds where uncomfortable, the duvets provided could do with replacing as they were very thin."
The En-Suite nprequired some redecorating, the shower needed fresh sealant and some regrouting, the shower itself needed a could clean as when you removed the shower head the part that sits in the holder was built up with mould. The towel rail in the En-Suite was loose and needed fixing. The lodge smelt damp and we had to purchase air fresheners to try and remove the smell. Also one of the windows wouldn’t open in the twin bedroom. However the owner was very friendly and extremely helpful and we received a lovely welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee, biscuits, and soft drinks. The use of a BBQ was nice and the outside area was well kept. The games facilities were great and we made use of these. I feel that the owners need to spend a little bit of time in replacing bedding and fixing the few things I’ve mentioned.
-
"Jackie and Alan the owners could not have been better very friendly and thoughtful, the Dorset cream tea with homemade scones and jam were delicious."
Brookfield Lodge had everything you need and more although we didn’t use the kitchen much, they have thought of everything it was also much bigger than expected. Our party of four adults and one dog had more than enough room both inside and out with a good size enclosed patio and lawn area ideal for our dog which after a day out and the high temperatures we used until late in the evening, the lodge is ideal for guest in wheelchairs or with mobility issues the wet room was ideal, the games room was an added bonus even learnt how to play table tennis. We will definitely go back and would not hesitate in recommending to family and friends.
-
"Best welcome we have ever had from a Sykes cottage property owner."
Fabulous property and small problem with shower sorted straight away. Would not hesitate to come back again as the facilities are brilliant for anyone with mobility problems, everything on hand including wheelchairs if required!
-
"The cottage was completely private, but Jackie,the owner ,was next door & on hand to help at any time."
VERY pet friendly, with a great enclosed garden for the dogs.
-
"Very friendly and helpful owners."
Lovely freshly laid eggs! Very quiet and peaceful.
