Spacious accommodation at a good price. Decent facilities within the accomodation, everything you might need. There were a few minor things that needed maintenance but not suprising when deep into the holiday season (such as gate latch needing tightening). A shelf next to the shaver socket over the sink would be helpful. Overall, really happy with our stay - couldn't have expected more for the price.

We stayed in a Hazel 3 Lodge. It was in a very good condition.Tv in every bedroom. Fully equipped kitchen. Location is great if you're planning to go to the beach/ Durdle Door. Bus stop just outside the reception which is really handy. Holton Heath train station is only 1 mile away. The staff is so helpful and they will do their best to help.

Bus Stops outside to poole one way , or opposite side goes to Swanage. Nearest big supermarket Lidl is only 2 miles away. Very peaceful site , which is what we liked
