  The location is lovely & the facilities were just what we required.

  The Owner was a very nice Lady and very prompt to attend to problem of why Hob not working when I was right in middle of preparing food for our 53rd anniversary meal with friends due(instruction folder had been put in tv drawer across room instead of located near the Hob) Previous Occupier had set the childlock and we are not savvy with induction hobs! Unfortunately as we were putting food away in the fridge the brackets supporting the glass shelves started to crack up as have gone brittle and there was a near miss episode with the glass shelf collapsing on to the floor which could have been dangerous as I am disabled with serious leg disability. Fortunately the shelf didn't shatter. The shelves need replacing although the fridge/freezer worked well! My Husband thought it would also be helpful if each of the many fused switched Spurs were labelled so as to identify Hob&Oven etc Also he says it works have been helpful to have an Covered outdoor 13 amp power supply for our Hybrid PHEV car, as we do not use the type of charge facilities in the carpark. We enjoyed our stay though very much and thank the Owners for helping to make our 53rd Anni a happy occasion. The weather was good so we could get out & about this beautiful part of Dorset and enjoy using our NT membership

  We enjoyed a wonderful stay at the Olive Lodge in early June and were pretty lucky with the weather so we got to enjoy the comfortable external furnishings almost as much as the lovely interior ones.

  The Lodge has everything you need to enjoy a week long stay, regardless of the weather (sunshine helps though!). It is ideally located very close to the local beaches, Avon Beach is great for those with mobility issues, and on a park with really good facilities which cater particularly well for children and the young at heart (rekindled our youth briefly in the arcades!). The on-site restaurant serves up a decent breakfast and dinner if you want a break from cooking in the well equipped and decent-sized Lodge kitchen, but don't wish to travel. The Lodge is a good size for a 4 person stay with two bathrooms, both with showers (one of which is very small but adequate). The multiple Velux windows help to keep the living area relatively cool on a hot sunny day and has a fireplace to keep you nice and snug on colder evenings. If eating out, we would say you can't beat The Rising Sun pub and Lins fish & chips (best ever!) for quality. If you are holidaying in the wonderful county of Dorset, we would highly recommend The Olive Lodge, which stands out as the best amongst its neighbours on the park

  On arrival the Chalet was clean though I had the impression that the bathroom at the rear had not been cleaned thoroughly due to the washbasin having a large pool of liquid soap from the dispenser underneath the dispenser which was not leaking.

  The Chalet is pleasant to stay in and comfortable however the passageway leading from the main living area to the bedrooms/bathrooms is very narrow so that we repeatedly knocked our arms on the door handles as we passed, my suitcase only just fitted in the width of it. It was reasonably well equipped though on looking for a cheese grater there was none so I bought a cheep one, everything else was good with enough oven trays etc. The fact that we did not have our own parking space made things more difficult as we could not park next to the property and on occasions struggled to find a space. There is enough room at the side of each chalet but it is grassed and parking on this is not allowed. I struggled to connect to the wi fi and contacted reception, a man came and did something in the box outside and the wi fi was good afterwards, We enjoyed a good holiday and the lodge is a very pleasant one to stay in for a holiday.

  Though we enjoyed our stay there, it really would have been nice to be able to have our grandsons and son stay over night.

  When I booked it, I had not noticed “can not bring Guests back for overnight stays. Nor was it clearly indicated on the site that “No Children” were allowed. Though We understood the reasoning from the Martins, it was disappointing. However we made do, and had a great stay. The Cottage is convenient to the area we were visiting. It had two bedrooms, clean and comfortable and good parking. We love seeing the deer in the field, a variety of birds and even a rabbit visited. Another amenity of a Washer/Dryer would have been very helpful as well; especially, since it was a rainy week and we were visiting from the US. Mr and Mrs Martin were both very nice and chatted with us when we saw them. The cottage was welcoming and Mrs Martin had left us some cookies (biscuits) along with a beautiful bouquet of flowers.

  Barn facilities very good.

  A secluded location and great if you want some peace and quiet-although that wasn’t always possible It’s a hard water area and the kettle needed descaling but I messaged the management and within a short time they popped around with the kettle descaler, which I think is good. Loved the games room. Everything was really well maintained, beautiful linen and quality feel to the rooms. Would have liked a bath sheet towel provided as well otherwise we would have brought our own - small face and body towel ok if you’re a size 10! I felt the double bed mattress was too hard and had backache- but I think that’s often down to personal preference and difficult to provide for all choices and preferences. Overall this was a beautiful barn and dog friendly with a great gated area for our pooch.
