Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Great enclosed garden for our cocker spaniel. The owners were really welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed our time at Warmwell Lodge and hope to return in the future.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Warmwell Lodge."
The accommodation was very comfortable and in such a peaceful setting. The location was great for visits to Lulworth Castle, Athelhampton House and Wolfeton House. There are plenty of lovely walks in the area; the coast path to Durdle Door being particularly spectacular. A circular route incorporating Hardy's Cottage was a good choice too. Thank you too for the bunch of delicious homegrown grapes!

"A pretty Lodge ,nice garden with lovely views over fields with sheep and cows horse riders ."
Good off road parking . lovely walks . comfortable beds , lots of cleaning products supplied also welcome pack of tea and a pretty bunch of flowers . awful armchairs different to the ones in the add , backs tilted back so one can not sit up straight sofa just as uncomfortable , crippling to sit down , 2 of us ended up sitting on the floor and my husband sitting on a dinning chair ,it's not ideal for this was the reason we decided to cut short our stay and leave early . strong smell of damp , a dehumidifier has been left but does not help much , windows downstairs do not open
window up stairs does not lock ,moldy walls around window . at night scurrying and pattering of something ,may be mice could be heard in the band bedrooms . it is a listed building and I am aware allowances must be made for it's age .
Thank you for your comments. With regard to the armchairs we agree they are low and quite reclining so we will do our best to improve this. We often stay at the property and find the sofa comfortable so are surprised by your comment. A musty smell during Winter is inevitable if windows are not opened...the downstairs windows do, in fact, open so it is a shame you didn't contact us for help.

We had a lovely stay with our four year old; having horses right outside and pheasants wandering the garden was amazing. The lodge itself is lovely and far roomier than we were expecting; a bathroom with a toilet and a separate downstairs toilet which makes life easier! Also didn’t realise there was a tumble dryer as well as a washing machine and hairdryers too! The welcome tray of Dorset tea and biscuits was very welcome and the information pack containing maps of walks around the estate was incredibly useful. Such a special holiday!

"Warmwell Lodge is a beautiful cottage finished to a very high standard, we found the little instruction notes scatterred around quite amusing, but actually very helpful!"
One very minor point was the lack of cooking equipment, as people who enjoy to cook whilst on holiday, it was a struggle with the equipment supplied, although the housekeeper did bring us a stockpot when we mentioned the fact. It will not put us off returning though as we would just bring our own in future. (We normally bring knives & a multi-purpose pot anyway, but didn't this time as it was only a mini-break).
