Lodge 3

The hot tub at Lodge 3 sits on its own decking, just outside a single-storey, open-plan living space. The lodge is on a holiday park near Corfe Castle and has two bedrooms for four guests: a king-size with an en-suite bath that has a shower over it, and a twin.

Inside, the kitchen, dining area and sitting area share one room. The kitchen has an oven, hob, fridge and dishwasher, and the sitting area is arranged around a woodburning stove. Fuel, power and a starter pack for the stove come with the rent, and so do bed linen and towels. A separate shower room has a walk-in shower, basin and WC.

Parking is off-road. Anyone expecting to arrive after 6pm needs to phone to arrange key collection. An infant counts towards the total of four, and a cot or highchair is charged per stay. A shop and a pub are 2.8 miles away.

Central heating, a TV and WiFi are fitted. The barbecue stand outside takes disposable barbecues only, which guests bring with them or buy from the on-site shop. Pets and smoking are not allowed. Lodge 3 is best for a couple, or two friends travelling together, who want a hot tub, a stove and a king-size room with its own bath.
