• "Ideally located and convenient for the New Forest, Bournemouth/Christchurch and Lymington, Gwydn Lodge was well-equipped, spacious, clean and comfortable."

  Although unfortunate with the weather, hardly surprising at this time of year, it was reassuring to return to a lovely warm lodge after braving the elements. There are really good places to eat nearby and supermarkets a short drive away. All-in-all - highly recommended.

• "Relaxing and spacious!"

  We had a wonderful time at Gwydn Lodge! So much space for 4 people, very comfortable sofas and dining chairs. The kitchen had everything we needed. The fire place was a highlight warming up the lodge. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this ❤️

  Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your comments. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Enjoyed our stay at Gwydn lodge."

  Very comfortable, spacious and peaceful. The added bonus was amazing weather for the week. The beach at Milford on Sea is so near, also walk from Friars Cliff to Mudeford. We certainly hope to return to Gwydn lodge at some point.

  Thank you so much for your lovey comments. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We would love to welcome you back to Gwydn Lodge in the future. Property Owner

• "The lodge was lovely very quiet and near to beaches."

  And the new forest. The only complaint I have is. Not very clear about the amenities. The pool and restaurant were next door but the fee to use it were rather pricey 171.00 for three people was rather a shock Lovely holiday though beautiful area. Very clear instructions from Sykes and customer service is excellent

  Thank you for your response. Naturally we are a little disappointed at the low rating as we go out of our way to ensure that everything for our guests is just as we would expect to find ourselves. We understand that the fees from Shorefield are higher than we would like but, sadly, we have no control over this. In order to keep the rental low, we have decided to leave it to our guests to choose whether or not they wish to use the Site facilities and for how long. Property Owner

• "It was perfect!"

  Location, comfort, anything we may have needed was inside. The location was great for a walk to the beach and close enough to drive to supermarkets, takeaways and restaurants. You are also able to use the facilities at the Shorefield holiday park next door. Loved it and would return in an instant!

  So pleased you enjoyed your holiday. It's always a pleasure when our guests enjoy the Lodge and the area as much as we do. Property Owner

• "Lovely holiday home in a quiet area of the park!"

  Quite a walk to the pool and shop on a very busy road! Better to drive! Clean and everything we needed

  Thank you for your lovely response. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. We used to have a short cut to the main site, which required only a short stretch on the road, but unfortunately this was fenced off. However, there is ample parking at the shop and at the pool. Property Owner

• "They have a very bad ant population they were in the carpet all over the sides ..."

  They have a very bad ant population they were in the carpet all over the sides and furniture but other than that quite comfortable needs some nets in main room not very private but lovely lodge

  We're so sorry to read about your ant problem. Sadly nature has a way of finding its way through. We did have a minor issue with ants last year, which we quickly resolved with ant powder and spray (both of which are located in the cupboard). Our Daughter and family followed your stay and reported that no ants could be found inside. Despite your "wildlife" problem, we do hope that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "The lodge had everything required for a self-catering stay."

  .. comfortable beds, numerous kitchen units and utensils and comfortable sofas, if a little too soft and low for our 80 year old backs. I can't comment on the facilities at the adjoining site as we didn't take advantage of these. Within just a short drive,or walk if you are able,of the coast and delightful pubs and restaurants... what more would you want ??

  Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Our stay at Gwydn Lodge was perfect."

  A lovely clean, comfortable and cosy place to stay in such a quiet and peaceful setting. The lodge was very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. There are lots of places to visit nearby and we found the local people to be very friendly. The owners were particularly helpful and went the extra mile in making sure our stay at their lodge was a good one. We would love a return visit when we are able.

• "A really lovely lodge and we were delighted to find it so comfortable, clean, warm and nicely furnished."

  The owners provide virtually everything you could need for self catering and a super base for a holiday in the New Forest.

• "Property was as described, comfy, clean and excellent WiFi signal."

  Site was quieter than the adjoining Shorefields although the path to the shop on site was blocked so had to use the country lane to access.

  Thank you for your very positive review. We can understand your frustration that the "short cut" to the main park is now fenced off. This was only an unofficial short cut but we are trying to establish who has initiated to work. We continue to lobby Shorefields as this is a major advantage for New Forest Lodge Retreat owners and guests. Property Owner

• "The weather wasn't too good, although we did have sunny spells between the rain."

  So it was great to have comfortable acommodation to be able to wait out the rain storms and very strong wind on two days. My only minor problem was that various items were not supplied, as we have become acustomed to having on arrival e.g. no dish cloth or tea towel in the kitchen and no toilet cleaner in either of the bathrooms. Luckily I had a jay cloth and tea towel with me. I can only assume that most visitors use the dish washer. As we had our main meal out we had little to wash up each day and it was a waste of water and electricity to use the dish washer.

  Thank you for your feedback and we are so pleased that, on the whole, you enjoyed your stay. It's a shame that you didn't let us know about the missing tea towels and cloths at the time as we could have asked the Housekeeper to return with the missing items. We also leave extra tea towels in a kitchen drawer and also provide an emergency linen pack in the bedroom. We did manage to get down to the lodge ourselves in early July for a single night (this is always difficult when pretty much fully booked!) and topped up with consumable items including J cloths, washing up liquid and toilet cleaner. I guess we just didn't leave enough so will have to make sure that we leave more in future. Property Owner

• "Gwydn Lodge is modern, spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped."

  If I did not know better, I would say that it is brand new. 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, TV and DVD player with films as well some board games and cards that can be played at the dinning table in the main room of the lodge, It is not on the main Shorefields Park, but just a few yards along the lane which makes it peaceful and relaxing. There is parking for one car next to the lodge. The decking is an added bonus for sitting in the evening having a nice chat or eating dinner at the table provided. The main park has a shop (rather expensive) an outdoor and indoor pool, a bar and restaurant, all of which can be busy at peak times. You are able to book the restaurant in advance if you wish or it's a first come first serve basis. My boys especially enjoyed the outdoor pool and the amusement arcade. The only downside is that to get to the main park, you have to walk along the lane which is narrow, busy and unlit at night. We got around this by mainly using the car to visit the pool and the shop. All in all a great place to stay with lots of attractions and beeches close by.

  Thanks for your very positive feedback Mark. I've responded personally to your points but we're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "Great location, perfect for all the attractions we wanted to visit."

  Spotlessly clean and lots of amenities in the lodge which made our stay easy and hassle free. Good communication with the owners. The lodge is on a separate area to the main park which was great for us as it was quieter and could still use the main park facilities when we wanted to. The decking is a fantastic sun spot for an evening wine!

  Emma, thank you so much for your comments and for your return visit this year. We are always pleased when guests enjoy our lodge just as we do. Property Owner

• "We had a wonderful stay here."

  The lodge was the cleanest and most well equipped we have ever stayed in. It is warm, spacious and comfortable. The area is nice, quiet and safe for the kids to go out in. The broader area is lovely and there is much to see and do. The owners were proactive and communicative (even though we had no issues). I highly recommend Gwydn Lodge and look forward to returning later.
