  Well what can we say. Another lockdown and we thankfully managed to escape to the Bramble lodge on the first day of lockdown easing, so our hopes were high. To say we were blown away was an understatement. The lodge itself was breath taking. Beautifully designed, open, full of light and spacious. The eco touches were such a wonderful touch and being new to eco heating solutions we were impressed by the consistent and comfortable temperature at all times. Great spec and appliances thought and imaginative and effective use of zone lighting. We used the lodge as our base for coastal path walking and managed nearly 50 miles over our 4 night stay. This was only made possible by the incredible wood fired hot tub which rejeuvinated us each evening in preparation for the next trek. A lovely touch that our hosts took the trouble to light the hot tub ready for our arrival and the unexpected delivery of a class bottle of local chardonnay and chocolates was the icing on the cake. To top it all off was the view which was breathtaking! An uninterrupted view of the Dorset countryside in every direction which we enjoyed every evening until the sun set, seeing deer, foxes and many, many pheasants. To top it all off the cost of this trip was reasonable to say the least. We would expect to pay double the price in Cornwall and would not expect the same standard of care and attention that we received. A wonderful location, property, host and experience. We will be back and will be recommending. Lockdown has been so very hard and we wish this enterprise every success now they are back up and running. A huge thank you from us for a most wonderful and memorable stay.

  We booked Bramble very last minute, on a bit of a whim and are we glad we did? Yes, yes and yes! Bramble has been one of the most serene, scenic and relaxing places we have ever had the good fortune to visit for a holiday. The cottage is very well-equipped, the details throughout make it feel like a home away from home. We were able to visit Corfe castle, Weymouth Beach and the Sealife Centre for fun family days out. But we've had as much fun firing up the hot tub and bbq, just relaxing into family time. The local walks to The Fox and Brewery Farm Shop have been nice and easy enough, even with children! Coming from a busy city, it has been a delight for our senses to be here for a week, Thank you.

  Wow! What a place! The Bramble Lodge is absolutely stunning. We stayed here as part of our staycation honeymoon. We could not have asked for anything better. Loved every second from walking up to the amazing views and seeing the cows grazing outside to relaxing in the wood fired hot tub. The lodge was immaculate upon arrival and the essential welcome package was a lovely touch. We would recommend this place to everybody we know and we are already planning our next visit. We went to the Fox Inn for Sunday roast which was to die for. Being a short drive from Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove the location is ideal. Thank ou for making our honeymoon on to remember. 10/10 for everything.

  Thank you so much for a beautiful weekend. We came to celebrate my birthday and switch off for a much needed rest. Bramble Cottage was the perfect place to do just this. You have really created a very comfortable home from here, with all the luxuries and the basics we could ever need. It made it so easy to kick back and relax and we will definitely be back. The peace and calm has been just what we needed to go and enjoy the last of the year. The local farm shop had everything else we needed and only a short drive away, very useful. Thank you again we really appreciated all the thought and effort that went into creating this beautiful place.

  The property was beautiful & very well equipped. There was a small patio area available to use which was a bonus. The owners greeted us on arrival & made sure everything was perfect for our stay, including an amazing welcome pack of local produce. The property is in the owners gardens, which are truly amazing & you have a lovely view of these from the full height windows. Situated off the road, the location is very peaceful, only interrupted by beautiful birdsong. Very peaceful location in a lovely village which has incredible history. We would definitely recommend.
