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!

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!

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 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.

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

Fantastic house in beautiful location

We had a wonderful time staying here. The house is well looked after and the location is stunning. We had a few minor issues with the WiFi going down and finding the keys initially, but all in all I would not hesitate to recommend the property.

Great location , well equipped & comfortable home

We loved it here. Hosts had thought of everything and we were very comfortable. One daughter and her husband a little surprised by window open to hallway in their twin room but they improvised!! It is a very comfortable and spacious house which has everything you would need for a large family holiday. Weather was great so two patios to catch the sun was perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner outside! Thank you so much. Would highly recommend!
