What our customers say about their holidays

• The G-Family - Verified booking

  Fern House is a recently renovated Grade II listed cottage, which has been beautifully updated with tasteful fixtures and fittings and a number of luxury conveniences. The spacious kitchen is very well equipped, the hob and microwave easy to use without needing a training course(!) and we really appreciated the plentiful food storage boxes for several picnics we enjoyed. There are more books than can be read in a year’s stay, plus games and plenty to keep you occupied in inclement weather. The garden, which comprises everything seen in the photos, has similarly been brought back to life, with older trees and shrubs, interspersed with judicious new planting. Walking out from the spacious and light larger bedroom, in the early morning sun, onto the fern-filled patio, is a joy! Be prepared to park in different spots on the main street, as it is a small village. We recommend: Evershot Bakery (place your orders for fresh croissants in advance!); ‘Thomas Hardy’s’ Acorn Inn over the road (which won 2 more awards as we left); The Electric Palace in Bridport (variety of entertainment); Rise in West Bay (looking out over the Jurassic Coast); Lulworth Castle (a real surprise!) and for the best Sunday lunch, including masses of veg and wines by the carafe, Winyard’s Gap at Chedington. We happily extended our stay beyond our one week booking - need we say more?

  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.

  We enjoyed our stay which was in a quiet and tranquil area.

  The following needs rectifying: The left front hotplate on the cooker does not work and blew the fuses which we sorted. The heater above the door to the bedroom did not produce any heat even though we set it as per instructions. No hot water in upstairs toilet. Owners need to change the Whistley Waters website that stated produce for a cooked breakfast would be left in the lodge. This was not provided (do not put because of Covid as can be put in sealed bags) and when the owners were contacted about this we were told they had left a bottle of wine and eggs instead of sausages and bacon. We had to go to town for breakfast as we did not cater for this not being provided. Barbeque and pizza oven rusty and not cleaned. Outside furniture on patio was rusty. Needs some maintenance and care
