We have already booked again for next year and look forward to taking our family again, including our two young grandchildren that were also welcomed by the hosts.

  • "Such a lovely property with direct views of the imposing ruin of Corfe Castle."

    Corfe Lodge is a large spacious house, clean and well equipped - ideal for a large family holiday in Purbeck. Laura and Paul were very welcoming and the whole house is light and airy with plenty of accommodation and storage. The garden and patio area are secure and private with lovely views and occasional visiting deer on the neighbouring hillside. A high quality property throughout which has been thoughtfully separated from the owners adjoining property behind. 5 stars.

    Thank you so much for your full and fab review. We are so pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the cottage, had plenty of room and that the deer put in the occasional appearance. It was a a pleasure to have you all to stay over the Easter holidays. Property Owner

  • "Very comfortable and well equipped."

    Plenty of space for everyone and lovely to have the views of Corfe Castle. Having the steam trains so close was a real treat. The only negative point is the size/weight of the plates which we found rather cumbersome!

    Thank you for your positive feedback about the property. Much appreciated. With regards to the plates, having decided to equip the cottage kitchen with Denby crockery as apposed to a budget range, the plates are more robust. We are sorry to hear that this wasn’t the most convenient for you and having taken your comments on board, a lighter/smaller additional set will be provided going forward. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful three generation family stay at Corfe lodge."

    The owners have really worked hard to turn their former family home into a brilliant place to stay. They were very responsive to emails I sent and also live next door, so are on hand should you need anything, without being intrusive (and you have plenty of privacy). The property is very well appointed with everything you could need included. The private garden has views of the castle and is a great spot to deer watch. The location was even better than we expected as the postcode given early on in the booking process is not reflective of the exact location. It’s only a 5-10 minute walk into Corfe which is a lovely village, with a few shops, bakery, cafe, pubs etc. There isn’t a path for the first 100 yards or so for the walk into the village, but we navigated it with a pushchair without too much trouble. Overall a wonderful stay, and we’d definitely recommend / love to return one day.

    Thank you for such a kind and full review. So glad you have enjoyed the cottage and found it had all you needed for your family holiday. With regards to the location of the property, the details explaining it’s close proximity to the Castle and the village (rather than the centre of the postcode), were already with the agency but it seems were only provided by them at a later stage in your booking. Having now raised the matter, I have been informed that this information will be provided by them earlier. Property Owner

    The Lodge lacked nothing and offered all the comforts of home.
