Visitor Reviews of Wareham Forest Lodge Retreat

Sarah, S Wales

Date of stay: 28th August 2020

Lodge was perfect for our requirements, we wanted somewhere safe and comfortable and this was exactly that. Plenty of room for two adults and a baby and had all the amenities we needed including very large fridge freezer, oven, Gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, iron/ironing board and washer/dryer. The only thing we found to be missing was a frying pan but we could manage without that! All in all a lovely stay and would definitely stay in one of these lodges again.

Christy, Chesterfield

Date of stay: 28th August 2020

The lodge was clean and cosy with mostly everything you need. There were a few minor issues, the hook in the bathroom fell off and the kickboard in the kitchen kept coming off but they did not spoil our holiday. The beds are very comfy and showers are nice and hot with good pressure. Other very minor issues were there was no collinder in the kitchen and problems with TV signal in the master bedroom (the aerial point was loose) but this did not bother us greatly. Also there were 2 shower as oppose to 1 shower 1 bath and this was not evident at the point of sale (we have a 1 year old) so I think if we had stayed longer than 4 nights this would have become a problem as shower was difficult. All in all I would stay again.

Valerie, Plymouth

Date of stay: 21st August 2020

Very impressed with the lodge and indeed the whole site. Would certainly consider staying there again. It was very peaceful, pleasant surroundings and the staff were excellent. All our family enjoyed their stay at Wareham Forest Retreat.

Paul, Gb

Date of stay: 21st August 2020

Ad, London

Paul, Barnsley

Kerry, Oxford

Excellent stay, relaxing, peaceful & enjoyable. Very close to nearby attractions.

Andrea, Shropshire

Date of stay: 7th August 2020

Lodge was spacious and perfect for our party of 7, cleanliness was good except the ceilings had lots of cobwebs in every room.

Hazel, Northamptonshire

Date of stay: 7th August 2020

Very good. The only we could mention was the chilled wine cabinet did not work, only stayed at 28 degrees. Also, the heating kept coming on!!!!!

Petra, Hardwick

Date of stay: 3rd August 2020

Had a fab week in lovely lodge in great location

Martin, Cheltenham

Date of stay: 1st August 2020

Great location and spacious clean lodge. The staff were all friendly with great attention to detail- especially relevant in the current uncertain Covid situation, extra precautions, cleaning and social distancing made easy !

Gurcharan, Bexhill East Sussex

Date of stay: 31st July 2020

Excellent but patio door did not close properly and I had to call for maintainence
It still wasn't fixed properly

Lisa, Cardiff

Date of stay: 31st July 2020

Would recommend site, lodge and the area with more attention to detail re cleaning

Kate, Surrey

Date of stay: 31st July 2020

We stayed in a Hazel 3 lodge which was really nice. It is a good size though a little frustrating that the 2 twin rooms are quite different in size!
One is quite spacious with bigger beds & 3 mirrors. The other pretty small, smaller beds & no mirrors - bit random!
The master bedroom & en suite are great though, as is the open plan living/kitchen area & decking.
We had very little interaction with staff due to COVID 19. We did ask for someone to look at the kitchen tap which was spitting everywhere and it was sorted really quickly.

The lodge was really clean in general - bathrooms in particular. However I had to was everything in the kitchen before use - crockery, cutlery, glasses - as it was quite dirty still.
Also it is not what I would call well equipped as the description states. It would be nice to have more than 6 each of plates, bowls, knives, forks etc. Had to constantly wash everything during preparing a meal and not enough plates to use any as serving plates.
Also missing lots of basics like kitchen scissors, a jug, a colander and so on. If Id known in advance I wouldve taken some bits with me!

Hazel, Ipswich

Date of stay: 31st July 2020

Lodge lovely and clean with only one exception which was that the water in the ensuite sink wouldnt run away. The sink was blocked with thick soap slime which we actually sorted and cleared ourselves but it could possibly be worth reminding the cleaning team to pay attention to these small details. If not for that it would have scored a 10.

Tammy, Colchester

Date of stay: 27th July 2020

Had a fabulous weekend

Claire, Launceston

Date of stay: 27th July 2020

Very pleased would come back again

Shehla, London

Date of stay: 25th July 2020

Great accommodation and location. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings. We had a great holiday.

Could have been a little cleaner, some dust under the bed and a spill not washed off the sofa. But overall very happy.

John, Godmanchester, Huntingdon

Date of stay: 25th July 2020

Overall - had an enjoyable holiday. Baking trays in oven needed a bit more cleaning before we could use !

Jane, Bristol

Date of stay: 25th July 2020

Would recommend this for a quite relaxing stay.

Shawn, Gb

Date of stay: 24th July 2020

great location and accommodation - rather pricey though

Julie, Staffordshire

Date of stay: 24th July 2020

I was disappointed to find dirty cups in the cupboard although this was quickly sorted by housekeeping, it left me concerned that other things hadn't been checked and cleaned thoroughly. The lodge was sealed and check in observed social distancing, but the dirty cups left me feeling the need to clean the lodge myself in order to feel safe, not the best start to our break.

Rachael, Northamptonshire

Date of stay: 20th July 2020

We had a great stay and look forward to coming back in the future.

Elissavet, Gb

Date of stay: 20th July 2020

Marvellous lodge! Really stylish and beautiful. The staff was wonderful. One thing that I wouldn't expect for this price, is although the lodge was generally quite clean, the floor was not very clean.

Vanessa, Kent

Date of stay: 20th July 2020

With the current situation with Covid we were really sad when our holiday abroad was cancelled. We are key workers and wantEd a much needed rest. We totally loved Wareham Forrest Lodge Retreat and have wonderful memories and cant wait to return.

Samantha, Hednesford

Date of stay: 18th July 2020

Excellent lodge in an ideal location. Lovely quiet and well maintained site.

Anon, South Yorkshire

Date of stay: 17th July 2020

No club house, playground, pool or restaurant. Bliss!

Caroline, Aylesbury

Date of stay: 17th July 2020

Great break! Will definitely return.

Joy, Essex

Date of stay: 17th July 2020

Had a lovely time thanks

Carol, Gb

Date of stay: 17th July 2020

Lodge was in a secluded spot with lots of trees. Well equipped kitchen (more teaspoons needed though!). Only negatives were that the basin in the ensuite shower room didn't drain properly and the Reception was closed due to the Covid restrictions.
