We had a really great stay at the lodge! It was just what we needed - safe, cosy and plenty of space for two adults and our little one. The place was well-equipped with everything from a huge fridge freezer to a microwave and dishwasher, which made life so much easier. The only tiny thing missing was a frying pan, but honestly, it didnt ruin our stay. Wed definitely come back - a lovely experience all round!

We had a pretty good stay overall. The lodge was kept neat and cosy, with most essentials available, which was great. There were a couple of niggles - the bathroom hook fell off and the kickboard in the kitchen kept coming loose, but honestly, they didnt ruin our holiday. The beds were really comfy and the showers had lovely hot water and decent pressure. One thing we noticed was there was no colander in the kitchen, which was a bit annoying and the TV signal in the master bedroom was patchy because the aerial point was loose. Also, having two showers instead of one shower and a bath caught us off guard - not a big deal for us, but with a one-year-old, it couldve been tricky if wed stayed longer than four nights. Still, wed probably come back. Not perfect, but pretty close!

We had an absolutely lovely time at Wareham Forest Retreat. The peaceful vibe, beautiful surroundings and friendly staff really made it special. Everyone in the family enjoyed the stay and were already thinking about coming back sometime soon!

The lodge was really roomy and just right for our group of seven. Cleanliness was decent, though the ceilings had quite a few cobwebs everywhere. Not perfect, but okay!

Overall, quite pleased. The wine fridge wasnt functioning properly - only maintained 28 degrees - and the heating kept kicking in randomly, which was a bit annoying, honestly.

Our stay in the Hazel 3 lodge was quite enjoyable, even if there were a few quirks. The lodge itself is a good size and we loved the open plan living and kitchen area, plus the decking was a lovely touch. The master bedroom and en suite were really nice, definitely the highlights. We didnt see much staff due to Covid, but when we asked about the kitchen tap, it was fixed swiftly, so no complaints there. One thing that did bug us was the twin rooms - theyre quite different in size! One is pretty spacious with bigger beds and three mirrors, while the other is smaller with smaller beds and no mirrors, which felt a bit random. The cleanliness was generally good, especially in the bathrooms, but I did find myself washing all the crockery, cutlery and glasses before use because they werent quite clean enough upon arrival. The kitchen isnt as well equipped as the listing suggests either - we could have used more plates, bowls, knives and forks, since we kept running out. Theres also missing basics like kitchen scissors, a jug and a colander, which wouldve made cooking a lot easier. Honestly, if wed known all that beforeh and, wed have packed some of our own bits. Still, overall, not a bad stay, just a few little annoyances!

We stayed at the lodge recently and really enjoyed it. The place was spotless, which was great! Only tiny issue was the ensuite sink - it was blocked with soap slime, but we managed to clear it ourselves. It might be worth the cleaning team giving that a quick look. Overall, wed definitely recommend it and would stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is perfect, peaceful with lovely surroundings. The place itself is beautiful, though it could use a bit more attention to cleanliness - dust under the bed and a spill on the sofa. Still, we had a wonderful holiday!

Honestly, I was a bit taken aback finding dirty cups in the cupboard when we arrived. Thankfully, housekeeping sorted it out pretty fast, but it did make me wonder if everything else was properly cleaned. The lodge was well sealed and check-in was smooth with social distancing, but those cups made me want to give the place a wipe down myself just to feel safe. Not the best way to start our holiday, really.

Although our trip was cut short due to Covid, Wareham Forrest Lodge really cheered us up. As key workers, we needed a break and this place delivered! We left with great memories and are already looking forward to coming back someday. Absolutely loved it!

We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge, nestled among the trees in a peaceful spot. The kitchen had everything we needed, though a few more teaspoons wouldnt hurt! The only downsides were the slow-draining basin in the ensuite and the closed reception because of Covid.

Really enjoyed the stay, the lodge was super comfy and spacious!
We had a wonderful weeks break away at Wareham Forest lodge. We were allocated a lovely peaceful lodge which was completely private. Wareham Forest Lodge is on a peaceful location of you don’t mind driving. It is a great base to explore Swanage, Poole, Bournemouth and Weymouth.
The location and the surroundings were brilliant and the staff were helpful
Absolutely lovely. The site was clean and tidy, the shop whilst small had essentials.
The lodge itself was first class, no cheap utensils or saucepans, (same as I have at home) a dishwasher and washing machine within the lodge, even a wine cooler to use. Bedding and towels provided and again couldn’t fault quality.
Would highly recommend and definitely will return
Highly recommend, very relaxing and quiet. Great accommodation.
A great place to stay!! Extremely clean and tidy lodges and very well kept grounds. Very quiet and perfect for exploring the Jurassic coast and it’s beautiful seaside towns due to its location. Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend ??
Very peaceful site , fabulous staff and accommodation with fabulous little touches.
This is our third holiday . lovely lodges really peaceful
Absolutely lovely lodge very clean and so quiet at the retreat
Wareham Forest Lodge retreat was a quiet site it did not have any entertainment or cafes or bars which suited us. It is surrounded by lovely grounds. The buses to Poole or Swanage are right outside so handy to hope on. There is a pub serving meals (the Claypipe) just a short walk down the road
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful site. The grounds are well kept and maintained and there is a lovely pub the clay pipe inn about 5 minutes walk away that does a gorgeous carvery but you do need to book a table in advance.
Lodge was very well equipped, comfortable bed, veranda with hot tub secluded and welcome after a days walking. Location was perfect with bus stop to Poole or Swanage just outside entrance, and a good pub/restaurant a 5 minute walk away.
Lovely clean accommodation with all amenities. The hot tub was amazing and the location was lovely and quiet. The only small niggle was We stayed during the hottest couple of days and neatly baked alive, the accommodation could do with air conditioning, but other than that was perfect
