"Excellent base for exploring the area."

"The Olive Lodge is a very comfortable lodge set in Hobourne Bashley holiday park which is a relaxed setting."
The lodge was very clean and exceeded our expectations. It was well equipped with all that you need. The clubhouse has nightly entertainment and serves some nice food all day . If you don't want to cook there's plenty of pubs around that serves good food ( recommend Hare and Hounds at Sway for Sunday lunch). The local area is amazing and the ponies and cows just roam around ( we even came across a donkey blocking the road and wouldn't move). Overall I would recommend Olive Lodge for all wishing a great relaxed break from the hustle and bustle. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

"The blinds on skylights are not working, the light in the bathroom can not be switch off, the cleanness of the property wasn't grate we found bread crumb on the table its looks like it was done in rush as event the bathroom wasn't very clean we found some dust and hairs under the shower."
The tv in living room is not connect to the internet so we couldn't watch Netflix event we did try several times maybe is just need a update? Apart of this we had lovely stay.

"On arrival the Chalet was clean though I had the impression that the bathroom at the rear had not been cleaned thoroughly due to the washbasin having a large pool of liquid soap from the dispenser underneath the dispenser which was not leaking."
The Chalet is pleasant to stay in and comfortable however the passageway leading from the main living area to the bedrooms/bathrooms is very narrow so that we repeatedly knocked our arms on the door handles as we passed, my suitcase only just fitted in the width of it. It was reasonably well equipped though on looking for a cheese grater there was none so I bought a cheep one, everything else was good with enough oven trays etc. The fact that we did not have our own parking space made things more difficult as we could not park next to the property and on occasions struggled to find a space. There is enough room at the side of each chalet but it is grassed and parking on this is not allowed. I struggled to connect to the wi fi and contacted reception, a man came and did something in the box outside and the wi fi was good afterwards, We enjoyed a good holiday and the lodge is a very pleasant one to stay in for a holiday.

"Lovely propertyand very comfortable although the twin room was a bit cramped for 2 adults but ok for kids."
An information pack would be useful ,ie doctors , taxi numbers etc because as it is a private property Hoburns info packs are only given to their visitors. Overall a nice park, very clean and hoburn staff fantastic.Another way to pay for passes to the facilities other than paypal would be useful as idon't use paypal and you can't get passes any other way.

"We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Olive Lodge in early June and were pretty lucky with the weather so we got to enjoy the comfortable external furnishings almost as much as the lovely interior ones."
The Lodge has everything you need to enjoy a week long stay, regardless of the weather (sunshine helps though!). It is ideally located very close to the local beaches, Avon Beach is great for those with mobility issues, and on a park with really good facilities which cater particularly well for children and the young at heart (rekindled our youth briefly in the arcades!). The on-site restaurant serves up a decent breakfast and dinner if you want a break from cooking in the well equipped and decent-sized Lodge kitchen, but don't wish to travel. The Lodge is a good size for a 4 person stay with two bathrooms, both with showers (one of which is very small but adequate). The multiple Velux windows help to keep the living area relatively cool on a hot sunny day and has a fireplace to keep you nice and snug on colder evenings. If eating out, we would say you can't beat The Rising Sun pub and Lins fish & chips (best ever!) for quality. If you are holidaying in the wonderful county of Dorset, we would highly recommend The Olive Lodge, which stands out as the best amongst its neighbours on the park

"A very comfortable and spacious lodge in excellent condition."
Central heating keeps it cosy in cooler weather as well as an electric fire but sun keeps it very warm when it's out as there are several skylights. It has a large fridge/freezer and a gas hob and oven, not electric as mentioned in the info. Duvets are provided and plenty of pillows and hangers but no washing up cloths/sponges or dishwasher tablets, oven gloves or tea towels. We found a small quantity of washing up liquid but left a new bottle for the next person as well as toilet rolls as requested by the owner. Car parking is adjacent to the lodge which is a bonus. We did not use the park's facilities so cannot comment on them.
