Juniper 2 Premier Lodge in Poole offers a peaceful and private retreat with a hot tub, often praised for its comfort and beautiful surroundings. While some guests experienced issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the majority found the lodge to be a delightful home from home, with friendly staff and a location ideal for relaxation and walks.
Guests have had mixed experiences with cleanliness. Some found the lodge spotless, while others noted floors that dirtied socks, cobwebs, and dog hairs. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement in housekeeping standards.
The location is consistently described as peaceful, beautiful, and perfect for quiet retreats. Its proximity to Wareham Forest and the availability of a picnic area add to its charm.
The lodge is generally found to be comfortable, with comfy beds and a relaxing hot tub. However, some guests mentioned uncomfortable sofas and issues with water pressure in showers.
Facilities like the hot tub, washer/dryer, and kitchen equipment are appreciated, but guests reported wear and tear, and some maintenance issues like temperamental showers and a lack of crockery.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

The park was clean and tidy and the lodge on first appearance looked clean, but we quickly realised it was showing signs that the house keeping wasn’t up to standard, my husband suffers from dust allergy and reacted when he went into the bedrooms, so we took a brush and swept both bedrooms including under the beds, and I can honestly say there was months of dirt, dust and grime in both rooms, it filled the dustpan twice, also whilst cleaning we noticed black mould beginning to grow in the corner of the main bedroom, and the objects that was found underneath the beds, should not have been there.The kitchen was well stocked and it had everything that you would need, but if house keeping checked, they would of found a crockpot dish with multiple hair line cracks and a fish slice that was so floppy both were unsafe to use,Even though I have been negative above, we did have a lovely break and we would go back there, the hot tub maintenance was done on a regular basis and by friendly staff.

Really bad mould in bathrooms and on curtains, grease coming from the extractor fan into our food, shower was freezing cold most of the time, barely any kitchen utensils like tongs or a spatula. If we were to stay again we would most definitely have asked to move lodges.
