Tucked away in rural splendour yet within 1 mile of the beautiful Jurassic Coast with its rugged cliffs and sweeping beaches, this charming single-storey property is the ideal retreat for couples. Cosy yet generously equipped and boasting a fabulous garden complete with gorgeous views and a bubbling hot tub, it has all the trimmings for an extra special staycation. Wake up to the sound of birdsong and an al fresco breakfast, then venture to the sandy shores of Weymouth and beyond for a day of touring Dorset’s beautiful West Coast. Follow the steps leading from the parking area to discover your bijou-style retreat, heading inside the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner ready to unwind with a glass of wine. Contemporary decor and attractive furniture provide comfortable spots for cooking, eating and relaxing, whether you are whipping up a delicious meal in the elegant kitchen or curling up to watch a film. At bedtime, the bedroom is spacious and welcoming with a king-size bed and an adjoining en-suite bathroom. The multi-level garden is a sheer delight for dining with a view or simply kicking back and appreciating the hot tub. Parking is available for one car and accessed via a shared drive. Osmington Mills is a quiet seaside hamlet 1 mile away and it’s the perfect starting point for a wild and rock-strewn walk, where you can gaze across the horizon in the direction of Weymouth. It is easy to see why this stretch of coastline was so popular for smugglers as the hidden bays and coves made it easy to transport goods and lure ships to their fate. In contrast, Weymouth 5.5 miles away is a thriving resort town with a fantastic rapport for seaside entertainment such as a sea life centre, a historic harbour and plenty of bars and bistros on the seafront.

I loved my stay at The Log Cabin over Christmas, with the dog. The owners are great & happy to chat when they see you but leave you alone when you're in the property. It's really thoughtfully laid out for dog owners, with all the fences making the property fully enclosed so no risk of any escapees, and even a little bin for the poo bags!

Fantastic accommodation. Everything anyone may need. Thank you for everything
Kim
Nice stay in the log cabin, friendly and welcoming owners. The accommodation itself isn't in walking distance of local amenities so if you like a stroll to your local pub or shop this wouldn't be ideal, so spent a lot of time in the car. The log cabin was hot in this heat we did request a fan which we were furnished with. A washing machine would beRead more handy and a BBQ! All in all a nice pleasant stay but a bit to remote for us but I am sure would be great for others! Hide
Andrew
from arriving to leaving everything perfect
Chris
Lynwood Lodge was an such amazing holiday accommodation that met our needs. It was sited in a lovely location, close to all the main places of interest and was spacious enough for the two of us and our two dogs. Hayley and Dave went out of their way to make us welcome by not only giving us information on the local area but also providing us with ch ocolate and wine on arrival. The hot tub was welcome relief after a full day of exploring. We would definitely recommend a holiday there.

Great property, ideally placed for all the local areas. The owners greeted us and showed us to our accommodation, explaining where to visit and places to walk our dog. The Log cabin was spotless and Dave and Haley left us a bottle of wine and chocolates , a nice touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was over too soon. We will definitely be v isiting again in again in the near future.

First impressions of the cabin it was Very smart and welcoming. The facilities inside were of a very high standard. The decor throughout is lovely and the layout of the kichin area and living room well planned and comfortable. The shower room is very good, The bedroom area is spacious and everything down to the bed linen was fist class. The outside area with the hot tub was big enough to relax in and private. The feeling of relaxing like it was your own home made it very special to us.

Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park - DT2 8PY
about 4 Miles
Kingston Maurward Gardens and Animal Park is a magical place to visit with grand gardens and plenty of animals to meet.  From goats and ponies to alpacas and pot bellied pigs this attraction is excellent value for money.  You can feel free to explore the grounds too which are especially lovely on sunny days.  You will see majestic floral displays, stone terraces, a temple and even a lake.
Dorset Teddy Bear Museum - DT1 1JU
about 5 Miles
This family orientated museum is dedicated to Teddy Bears both old and new Edward Bear and his family of people sized bears are one of the main attractions.  You can buy teddy bear gifts from the quaint shop including top notch brands.  The Steiff Teddy Bear and Merrythought bears are very popular.  Open 7 days a week all year round (except 25th and 26th December) this is a perfect all weather place to visit.
Monkey World - BH20 6HH
about 7 Miles
Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre. You get to see the primates themselves many of which have become famous from appearing on the TV show Monkey World - a documentary about this place. Open year round we think this is one of best attractions in Dorset and you even get the chance to adopt a monkey if you choose.
