Fantastic holiday home

Another stay in this beautiful and comfortable house. Amazing weather and most of the 2 weeks were spent on the beach. Lovely local walks and amazing coastal scenery all over Purbeck. Can't wait to come back.

Another great stay at Woodgate Lodge

Woodgate Lodge is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed. We’ve fallen in love with the house and Studland, the moment you put the key in the door you start to feel relaxed. It’s perfectly situated, generously appointed and has everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location!

The house is lovely and the garden is stunning! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and found the house very welcoming, clean and comfortable. Plenty of space for us all - adults and children all had a great time here! Studland is a beautiful village with a gorgeous stretch of beach nearby, and easy access to plenty of fun things to do.

Fabulous location close to Heath and Beach

We stayed for a long weekend to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary with friends. We loved the location for great walks from the doorstep onto the Heath and down to the beach. We enjoyed a meal at the Pig Hotel but even better was the Shell Bay overlooking the sea. The house was lovely with everything you need, and fabulous views from the bedroom and lounge. Can't wait to go back. C&J

Beautiful and spacious home

We felt very lucky to stay in this house. It was in a beautiful location with walks straight out of the door. The layout of the bedrooms was perfect for our 2 families - nice to have 2 spacious twin rooms as well as the 2 doubles. We also liked the downstairs layout with 2 large reception rooms. Lots to do in the nearby area. Would definitely stay again. Many thanks.

Fabulous!

We stayed in this lovely Studland house over the children's half term and we all felt immediately settled in the property, which is well equipped, spacious and comfortable. It has everything one would need for a successful family holiday in a beautiful location right in the heart of the scenic National Trust managed coastline. While at the house the children played happily in the safely enclosed garden, we were delighted with the huge dining table which easily accommodated us all at family mealtimes and the large coat/boot room was put to good use with 8 of us staying. Thank you to the hosts for sharing their beautiful home, we all agreed we'd love to return, only next time we'd stay longer!

Great spot for friends and families!

This house was absolutely perfect for our bank holiday getaway as two families with young children. The location was superb - walking distance to the beach and the lovely amenities. The house itself is spacious, stylish and comfortable. We had a great time, thank you!

Beautiful House & location

Hosts provided great communication and easy check-in to start our holiday. Lovely welcome gift of local biscuits. The house is beautiful, very clean with lots of home from home essentials. Waking up to the sea view and well maintained garden was a delight. Location is in easy reach of the lovely Studland beaches and local pubs. Also within easy drive of many amazing places to visit on the Jurassic coast. An amazing week enjoyed from ages 13 to 70. Highly recommended. Thank you and hope to be back in the future
