Escape all the hustle and bustle of the city for a romantic getaway in this former coach house in a stylish complex of properties in the Avon Valley. Featuring quaint design touches throughout, this pretty cottage sleeps two people in one bedroom and welcomes one canine companion. Spend your days strolling through the spectacular New Forest or trying out water sports at Gundimore Beach, and your evenings checking out Christchurch’s restaurant scene or sitting under the stars in the property’s private hot tub. Step inside and you’ll discover a beautifully styled open-plan living room/kitchen diner. The kitchen area has everything you need to cook up a romantic meal for two, which you can then enjoy in the intimate dining space. Alternatively, head outside to the quaint terrace, fire up the BBQ and dine alfresco. This area is enclosed, so if you have your dog with you, they can run free while you dine. After dinner, pour yourself a glass of something cool and crisp and enjoy a well-earned dip in the hot tub. When night falls, curl up in front of the TV in the living area before heading to the wonderful mezzanine-style bedroom (restricted head height) to cuddle up for a great night’s sleep. Head down to Christchurch Quay (5.5 miles) and rent a boat. This is the best way to explore the beautiful River Stour – and a wonderfully romantic way to spend an afternoon. If you don’t feel like being captain, jump on the ferry for a scenic ferry ride to Mudeford Sandbank - a long, narrow spit of white sand that juts out across Christchurch Harbour from Hengistbury Head. Mudeford’s blend of beach, heathland, wetland and woodland makes it a pleasure to explore.

Woodland Lodge Reviews

Lovely , spacious clean , really quiet location
Christian
First time staying in this type of lodge. Great property in a fantastic quiet location with all the amenities you would need. We're a family of four (2 under 3 years old) and this place was very child friendly and safe. We paid for access to the park facilities which came in use on rainy days. Owner was very friendly and great with communication.
Susan

Tracy
The lodge is set in a beautiful part of Dorset and on a great site that we have stayed on many occasion. The lodge is a great size and felt really spacious, check in was easy and plenty to do on and off site. I would definitely have booked this property again if dogs were not being allowed from September.
Rachel
A lovely, well laid out lodge with beautiful decor and all the facilities youll need. Self check in was straight forward with great communication and little touches from the owner. The parks in a great location with lots of onsite facilities and activities for the whole family. We had a wonderful week here and looking forward to visiting again.
Linda
A very comfortable and well-equipped lodge. The surrounding area is lovely, a really great location.
Robert
Overall the lodge was excellent both in location and the whole setup. I would like to think that we may all come again.
Ann
We had a great holiday at this lodge. It was very well equipped, spacious, comfortable and very quiet. It was perfectly placed for exploring the surrounding coast and countryside. As we were just using the lodge as a base we didnt purchase the pass to use the facilities. It seems a bit shortsighted of the parks management that you werent allowed toRead more use the on site restaurant unless you bought a pass but there was no shortage of eating places close by. I would certainly recommend a stay here. Hide
Michael
The park owners (Holburne) on which our lodge was located boasted use of a number of activities for which they charged a fee in addition to the cost of the lodge rental. This included use of both an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. However the site owners had decided to close the outdoor pool and outside area earlier than described without notice Read moreto us so it wasnt available during the very warm weather during our stay in the second week of September. We would have expected a fee reduction. Hide
Kayte
Brilliant!! Great communication from the owner. We stayed for 7 nights and as a family of 4 (children aged 3 and 7) had more than enough room to comfortably stay and keep everyone happy and entertained. Really spacious and modern with lots of little touches to make it feel like home. The level of cleanliness was superb, it felt really fresh and cleRead morean. Beds were comfy, plenty of storage, excellent kitchen, great WiFi...exceeded our expectations and we would definitely love to stay again. Hide
Andrew
Lovely lodge in a good location, Park has everything you need and is a great base for exploring the south coast.
Virginia
Clean and comfortable. The internet was good as well as smart TV. The lodge is in a quieter part of the holiday park which was pleasant. There are some walks from the lodge but many more just a short drive away.
Diane
Comfortable, quiet Lodge in a good location, ideal for visiting attractions in the Dorset area. A few basic cleaning/washing products would be useful as well as an iron. We did have a few ants but ant powder sorted out the problem on the whole.
Sandra
The lodge is fantastic and tastefully finished to a very high standard. Well deserving of our 5 star review. The food in the Cafe/restaurant was very good but they can get busy at the weekends. If you turn left out of the main site entrance the is a pub up the road called the Plough & Horses which serves nice food. Lee was both efficient and helpfu l with any queries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly be booking again in the future.
Lisa
What a great location as a base to explore the New Forest, loads to do and good facilities onsite, used the pool, saunas, shop and bar.The lodge was great, comfortable, big enough for a family with teenagers to relax in after days out. Would definitely recommend this.
Heather
A lodge with a certain wow factor! Very stylish and modern. Everything was clean and presentable. A truly lovely holiday.
