About this property
Toll Lodge is a charming two-bedroom ground floor annex set in the lovely village of Frampton in Dorset and the owners live close-by.
Welcoming open plan living area with kitchen and dining room will make you feel cosy in this beautiful country cottage. Relax by the wood burner and sit together in the evening.
The property is surrounded by wonderful rolling hills with many paths and bridleways for walker’s pleasure. Even though Toll Lodge is situated on the main road, it’s a quiet village.
The property will suit to cyclists as there’s a cycle path from Dorchester to Maiden Newton that runs through the park from Grimstone to Southover to Frome Vauchurch.
Around four miles from the property you will find a county town of Dorchester with few museums, array of shops, restaurants and farmers markets. The traditional high street is peppered with popular shops that are complimented by lanes with charming boutiques and antiques.
Seaside town of Weymouth is a short drive away too that would make a great day out. You can bask in the sun all day or browse through the town centre shops and look for souvenirs to bring to your loved ones.
West Bay is 9-mile drive away with sand cliffs and lovely walks either along the sea on the beach or along the clifftops.
30-minute drive East will take you to famous Dudle Door and Lulworth Cove with beautiful Purbecks and Corfe Castle further.
Whatever the season, Toll Lodge is a wonderful getaway for small family or couples.
Frampton is a small Dorset village, situated between Dorchester and Crewkerne. Still very much a rural village, it is surrounded by beautiful Dorset countryside and plenty of lovely walks or cycle including the cycle path from Dorchester to Maiden Newton. Although enjoying a lovely rural aspect, Frampton is under 6 miles from the Country town of Dorchester where you can find all the high street amenities you need as well as interesting attractions including, Max, Gate Thomas Hardy’s 19th Century former house, the County Museum, and The Teddy bear Museum. Maiden’s castle, the Roman fort sits on the outskirts and is an enjoyable walk. Bridport is around 15 miles away and has a much-coveted antiques and collectables market, as well as many independent shops and cafes’. A short 1 miles drive from Bridport is West Bay, the seaside Harbour village, famous for it’s role in ITV’s Broadchurch series. As well as seeing many of the now famous locations used, be sure to enjoy local fish and chips on the harbourside and an ice cream on the seafront.

The photos of the property make it look a lot bigger than it actually is, especially the bathroom! But we made it work. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, and the blackout blind in the main bedroom worked wonders. Well equipped kitchen, with plenty of cleaning products to keep everything up together. We had a few electrical issues whilst staying -the washing machine didn't work, so we had to handwash A few items. However John did offer us the use of his machine if we were needing to wash any clothes again. The toaster also tripped the electrics, but John went out and purchased a new one, amazing! We loved the additional beach towels, parasol and windbreaker. We made the most of those when travelling to Durdle Door. The shower pressure was quite poor, and the temperature of the water wasn't very consistent. Had several shocking moments of freezing water, but the temperature returned to normal after a few seconds. So nothing too major! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and we'd absolutely love to return!

The lodge had all we needed for a great time. It is on a main road but traffic is minimal, there are no Street light along the road, there is a path but if you go out after dark to take the dog for a walk make sure you have a torch and can be seen. There are loads of place off the main road to walk the dog but best look at a map first as there not always obvious where you can walk. Would return if we decide to visit Dorset again.
