Oak Lodge is a nice property some of the furniture is a bit dated nothing wrong with that the only real problems the bed was very noisy and we struggled to turn some of the taps off properly but we would stay there again if we going to the area again. While Poole and Swanage were very nice we wouldn't go back to Bournemouth again

A lovely stay in a great location. Had everything we needed with both a Tesco and co-op in walking distance. The secure garden was perfect for our little doggo too.
