I had a mixed experience at the lodge. The peaceful setting is lovely, and the accommodation was very clean and well-appointed. However, I was disappointed with the condition of the lodge's facilities and the lack of provided towels for the hot tub. Overall, while there were enjoyable aspects, the maintenance issues definitely impacted the value for money during my stay.

We had a lovely stay in a peaceful location surrounded by nature. The lodges are well-equipped and clean, although the check-in and check-out times were quite inconvenient. A few maintenance issues needed addressing, particularly with the smoke alarm and some cleanliness concerns in our lodge. Overall, we enjoyed our time but would appreciate some improvements for a better experience.

We recently stayed in a lovely lodge that was spacious and generally well-equipped, but it did have its issues. While the initial check-in was seamless and everything felt clean, we encountered a significant ant problem that wasn't adequately addressed by the staff. The lodge needs some maintenance as there were various scuffs, stains, and overall cleanliness concerns that made our stay less comfortable than it could have been. It's a shame since the potential is definitely there.

I had an enjoyable week-long stay in a Hazel 3 lodge, set in a lovely woodland area. The peacefulness of the site and the well-kept grounds made it a great retreat. However, I was disappointed to find some maintenance issues in the lodge and the check-in and check-out times were rather inconvenient for the price we paid.

I had a lovely stay in Wareham, which turned out to be a great base for exploring the surrounding areas. The lodge was warm and inviting, with clean and well-maintained facilities. However, I must mention that the living space was a bit cramped for the price we paid, making me think twice about returning. Overall, I enjoyed my time but felt it could have been better value for money.
