About this property

West Lodge is a unique and historic building, dating back to the early 1800’s.

The detached is one of a pair of listed gate lodges which stand at the entrance to the West Park Estate (see also East Lodge-Ref. 988986).

West Lodge has been completely refurbished and imaginatively extended to provide unusual and highly desirable holiday accommodation, graded 4 stars and given a Gold Award by Visit England.

Inside, the property is stylishly furnished and all the accommodation is on ground floor level, with bright and attractive octagonal shaped rooms.

A really unique and special place to stay.

The Lodges at West Park are situated at one end of the picturesque ancient village of Rockbourne. A walk through the village takes you past many thatched brick and timber cottages alongside the bourne (stream). The Rose and Thistle pub is at the other end, a stroll back could include a visit to the 11th/12th century church of Saint Andrew with its flint structure and tiled roof. The famous Rockbourne Roman Villa is a short walk away from the lodges.

This detached, 19th century building can be found in Rockbourne, Hampshire. It is the perfect location for exploring the unspoilt countryside of Cranborne Chase and the cathedral cities of Salisbury and the South Dorset coast, all within driving distance. Rockbourne has many independent stores, restaurants and pubs, including the popular pub The Rose & Thistle a few minutes’ walk from the property.

  • Julie

    The owners were very helpful and provided delicious fresh scones, cream and jam to welcome us.

  • Helen

    It was a great place to return to after a day's walk, with plenty of room for drying wet clothes after we got soaked one day. The garden and neighbouring woodland meant there was plenty of wildlife to see and hear. The owner had provided a huge amount of information on local attractions which was very useful. We would definitely stay there again.

  • Sharon

    The property is well cared for, with everything you would need. It's also well situated to visit places in Hampshire, Wiltshire & Dorset. We would definitely recommend to stay here, & we look forward to returning.
