  • "This was a cosy and immaculate cottage perfect for a break."

    Beautifully furnished and well equipped. Enclosed garden was perfect for our dog who could come in and out safely and enjoy pottering around the patio or basking in the sun. The welcome pack for both us and our dog were both very kind and a lovely message on chalk board to greet us on entry through the door. Weather good apart from one day and the excellent location of the cottage meant we could visit many places especially the coast. Only downside was that the very close local pub was closed for reconstruction which would have been ideal. We would love to return though for another stay either here or Thimble Cottage next door which I am assuming is owned by same people.

    Thank you for the great feedback and you are very welcome back in the Future and yes we own Thimble cottage too. kindest regards Simon and Bobbie Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage."

    Disappointed with the smell when we walked in it smelt like stale water where wet washing had been left to dry in there. We had to leave the door open and windows we also brought air fresheners. The cottage needs to have a good airing.

    We are really sorry that there was a smell of stale water we will look into this and rectify it.This is our first ever less than a 100% on cleanliness which we work hard to achieve so once again we are sorry. But thank you for your feedback. kindest regards Simon and Bobbie Property Owner

  • "The property itself was immaculate."

    The only issue that we encountered was the fact that we opted to use our smaller third car and thank goodness we did because the other two vehicles (one of which is a VW campervan) would not have been able to access the parking bay which was extremely difficult to get onto due to the narrowness of the lane and the slope at the entrance to the parking area. Of course, you can park on the road in the village itself, although this would not be our preference. The welcome pack was an amazing gesture and we would definitely recommend the lodge to others.

    Could do with a little more hanging space for clothes and a larger outdoor area. However we could not fault the quality or the cleanliness of the property which is also very well equipped. It suited us for our weeks stay and made our stay in Dorset all the better.

About the location

BLANDFORD FORUM

Thornicombe 2.7 miles; Child Okeford 6.5 miles; Moors Valley Country Park & Forest 17.9 miles.

Blandford Forum is a market town in Dorset, England, situated by the River Stour. Notable for its Georgian architecture, most of the town was rebuilt in the 18th century after it was destroyed by a fire in 1731. King George II made a donation to rebuild the town centre with designs from local architects John and William Bastard. The Blandford Georgian Fayre is an annual event held in the first week of May and celebrates its Georgian heritage, with presentations, historical re-enactments and music and dancing. One of the town’s biggest events takes place on the late Bank Holiday weekend, the Great Dorset Steam Fair. A largely colourful festival with over 2,000 exhibits and an old time steam funfair. Offering a wide selection of independent store, supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, cafés and a Georgian tearoom. So much to visit within this quaint town and makes for a wonderful tourist attraction, whatever the season.
