Lodge 11

At Lodge 11 the floors are reversed: the first floor holds the open-plan living area and the king-size bedroom with its en-suite walk-in shower, while the ground floor has two twins and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a bath and a shower over it. It is a three-bedroom forest lodge on the outskirts of the village of Corfe Castle and sleeps six.

The living area has a corner sofa, a dining table and a kitchen with an electric oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher. A woodburning stove heats the sitting area, with fuel, power and a starter pack included in the rent. One of the ground-floor twins has zip/link beds that can be presented as a king-size on request.

The private balcony has furniture and the hot tub. Sauna and cold plunge facilities are available too; the sauna carries an additional fee, with private sessions subject to availability. Parking is off-road, there is WiFi and a TV, and the barbecue stand takes disposable barbecues only.

Anyone arriving after 6pm is asked to phone to arrange key collection. Infants count towards the party of six, cots and highchairs are charged per stay, and neither pets nor smoking are allowed. Lodge 11 suits couples, friends or a family who do not mind stairs between the twin rooms and the living space.
