“I would like to give this property 5 stars overall.”

The location was lovely. A beautiful woodland was nearby with acres to explore. It had various spots along its pathways with a croquet lawn set up, a tree swing and many other spots to sit and take in the gorgeous scenery. We were lucky enough to have a Fawn come into our lodge garden one evening and we spotted two in the early morning. A treasured memory!!There are also two sheep (mellow and repunzle) in the next field; to whom my Husband liked to go and say hello to each day. The lodge was ...

The location was lovely. A beautiful woodland was nearby with acres to explore.

We were lucky enough to have a Fawn come into our lodge garden one evening and we spotted two in the early morning. A treasured memory!!There are also two sheep (mellow and repunzle) in the next field; to whom my Husband liked to go and say hello to each day. The lodge was well equipped and a great base for our week of exploring Dorset. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The hot tub was a great treat at the end of each day. There were towels, towelling dressing gowns and hot tub slippers waiting on the bed when we arrived. With a lovely welcome sign and goodies in a basket. All in all, a lovely place to just relax and unwind. Best wishes Louise and Kevin.

“A great base to explore the area from.”

We loved the closeness of the local wildlife. An owl and four deer, and the resident sheep. The facilities were high spec, and the hot tub was superb. We could easily recommend this lodge to friends and family. Many thanks.

Dianne September 2024

“Super place, well designed, comfortable and everything we needed.”

Lovely hosts, great recommendations for food (the Wimborne Pig was truly excellent food and great value/service/ambience). Good location for visiting Arne, Sandbanks, Beaulieu and the New Forest. Added bonus of deer in the garden!

- Dianne, September 2024

Thank you so much for the great review. It was lovely to meet you both and we are delighted that you enjoyed time here. We loved hearing about the piglets by the sea at Arne and we will be visiting soon! We hope to see you again sometime. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Robert Stanley August 2024

“Great location and stay.”

Only travelled 7 miles from home for a wonderful oasis. Woodland walks sharing them with Deer and wild Birds priceless. Thank you see you again when we return.

- Robert Stanley, August 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time here and look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Michael July 2024

“Beautiful and very private!”

We had a wonderful stay at Pheasant lodge and wanted for nothing! The lodge has everything you need for a relaxing stay and also has its own grounds which you can explore at leisure. There is a wood that leads to wildflower meadows where you will find a bbq fire pit and a croquet lawn too! Located within easy reach of the ‘Jurassic coast’ and all other attractions this is ideal for a romantic getaway. We will be back.

- Michael, July 2024

Thank you so much for leaving this lovely feedback. We are so pleased you had a wonderful break and enjoyed exploring both our grounds and the local area. We look forward to welcoming you back again. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner

“Where do I start?”

! Wonderful, relaxing and truly special. I don’t want to tell anyone about it and keep the knowledge like a treasure! You know when you find a place that is truly peaceful and magical? This is that place! Private but still able to enjoy the picturesquely beautiful landscapes, wild life coming and going all day. Kellie and Steve have put effort into making this place magical and it shows. Everything you would need or want is provided within the lodge. Honestly we felt spoilt and definitely will be returning! Thank you again!

- Rebecca, March 2024

Thank you so much for this wonderful review. Our aim was to create a peaceful, relaxing retreat and we are delighted that you found Pheasant Lodge to be so special and magical. We very much hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Peter December 2023

“Thank you so much for a wonderful stay, Kellie and Steve were fantastic hosts, communication was superb and they met us on arrival to explain how the hot tub worked.”

There are loads of facilities at the lodge which make every penny of the stay worthwhile, coffee machine, tea, locally made biscuits and chocolate and plenty of board games for an intimate romantic weekend away. We didn't indulge in the country walks around the grounds but that was because we couldn't source any suitable footwear (Wellies) for doing so. Kellie & Steve informed us of all the different locations we could walk to with seating areas and heating facilities at each one. The area is lovely, and the food and staff at the nearby pub were equally wonderful. We really had the best weekend and can't thank you enough.

- Peter, December 2023

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and the facilities we offer. We are so pleased that you had the best weekend here and hope to welcome you back at some point. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Helen September 2023

“Thank you once again Kellie and Steve.”

This was our second stay at Pheasant Lodge and it was just as wonderful as our first visit. We love everything about it and we go home feeling very relaxed. It is so peaceful and the hot tub is a dream. Hopefully we can return for a third visit in 2024. Helen and Dave

- Helen, September 2023

Geoffrey September 2023

“We had a very pleasant stay at Pheasant Lodge despite some dramatic weather.”

The accommodation was exactly as described. It was compact but luxurious. The surroundings were wonderful. The owners Kellie and Steve were helpful and friendly, without being intrusive. We've already recommended the lodge to our family!

Kelly September 2023

“A beautiful lodge in a beautiful setting.”

Very well maintained and cared for. Everything supplied that you could possibly need and absolutely everything has been thought of for the guests comfort. The welcome basket was a lovely gesture and all the information provided about the area was really useful. You can tell a lot of work has gone into these lodges and the surrounding 13 acres and it bought us a great deal of pleasure.

- Kelly, September 2023

Thank you so much for leaving such great feedback. It was lovely to meet you both and we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay here Also, thank you so much for recommending Pheasant Lodge!

Kathryn July 2023

“What a fabulous property, location and welcome.”

The accommodation was spotless, super comfy, had everything you could want and more with a lovely welcome basket. Beautiful garden with hot tub and wildlife. If that wasn't enough , go for a walk and find magical seating, swinging and fire pit areas in a private wood and get up early and see the deer eating apples just a few feet from your door! Thank you for an amazing break

- Kathryn, July 2023

Many thanks for leaving such wonderful feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time here and were able to spend time relaxing in our grounds. The deer do enjoy eating the apples in Pheasant Lodge garden in the summer and autumn! We hope to see you again sometime. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Sian July 2023

“The lodge is perfect.”

The owners have provided Everything you could possibly need. The location is idyllic quiet peaceful and truly relaxing. The only downside is the bed is so comfortable it makes it hard to get up in the morning.

- Sian, July 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely feedback. We are delighted that you had a relaxing stay in Pheasant Lodge and enjoyed the peaceful setting. We look forward to welcoming you back to Chapel Lodges in November. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Rachel June 2023

“Pheasant Lodge is perfect for a romantic getaway.”

Relax in the hot tub and soak up the picturesque views. The only sound you will hear are the birds, sheep, leaves rustling in the wind and the bubbles of the hot tub. The lodge is equisette, cleaned to perfection and has the most cute and tasteful decor. We don't want to say too much and give everything away, but the lodges plush amenities will leave you wanting for nothing. Kellie and Steve are the perfect hosts, a friendly introduction showing us how everything works and some local knowledge, and then left us to enjoy our long weekend. There are lots of things to see and venture close by or you could simply relax and stroll through the grounds. So much thought and love has gone into Pheasant Lodge. The only problem is, you won't want to leave! We can't wait to re book and go back. Rachel and Chris

- Rachel, June 2023

“It was such a joy to stay here and it was so relaxing.”

We can only echo previous positive comments from guests. It is a wonderful lodge with beautiful scenery and we saw some great wildlife. We loved the gorgeous hot tub. It had everything we could possibly ask for and we would love to return.

- Helen, June 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such lovely comments. We are so pleased you had a relaxing time here and enjoyed the resident wildlife and spotting new birds. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Julie June 2023

“We had an amazing stay at Pheasant Lodge.”

Its such a wonderful place, with everything you could need. The garden is very private and the hosts are so helpful and friendly. Although you are away from the hustle and bustle, its a short distance to the town where there are plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops to explore. We would highly recommend this holiday and will definitely be visiting again.

- Julie, June 2023

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave lovely feedback. We are so pleased you had a great time here and that you enjoyed exploring beautiful Wimborne. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best wishes, Kellie and Steve Property Owner

“Wonderful little hideaway.”

Stunning location. The lodge its self was immaculate, and had everything we could possibly need. The owners have clearly poured a lot of love in to their lodges.

“We had an amazing stay at Pheasant Lodge.”

Clare February 2023

“We had the most wonderful weekend that we have already booked to come back for a week.”

Kellie and Steve are great hosts and, to be brutally honest, have undersold the beauty of this property and its amazing facilities. The way they have fitted in so much into the chalet is a fantastic logistical feat while keeping it airy and spacious. This property comes so highly recommended and we are so looking forward to our next stay.

- Clare, February 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and it is wonderful that you have already booked to return! We look forward to welcoming you to Pheasant Lodge in the Spring and hopefully the bluebells will be out then Best wishes Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Rebecca October 2022

“We booked Pheasant lodge for our first wedding anniversary and we've had the most relaxing holiday we've ever been on!”

The lodge was full of everything we could possibly need and the grounds were absolutely beautiful and full of so much wildlife. We thoroughly enjoyed our early morning walks to see the deer and play a game of croquet with a cup of coffee and then spend the evenings in the hot tub with a glass of prosecco. Such an amazing base for exploring Dorset, Kellie and Steve really have thought of everything to make this a completely perfect stay, thank you for the very thoughtful welcome basket and just an overall amazing week! We cannot wait to stay here again!

- Rebecca, October 2022

Thank you so much for choosing Pheasant Lodge for your anniversary and for taking the time to leave such wonderful feedback. We are so happy that you found your stay so relaxing and that you enjoyed seeing all the wildlife that live in the grounds. We look forward to welcoming you back Best wishes Kellie and Steve Property Owner
Kane September 2022

“Had a lovely few days away in this peaceful property to celebrate mine and my wife's 1st year anniversary.”

The property was very clean, spacious and has lots of facilities, situated only a couple of minutes walk from a very nice pub, with lots of fields and nature walks around to go for a trek. After mentioning it was our anniversary, we came back after being out to a bottle of prosecco waiting for us too! Really thoughtful owners, this property goes above and beyond expectations.

- Kane, September 2022
Iris September 2022

“Wonderful place to stay in a quiet rural setting.”

Owners are lovely! The welcome basket was a great personal touch and you can tell a lot of attention has gone into outfitting and decorating the cottage. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival. The inventory is perfect: lots of kitchen utensils, plastic cups to have a drink in the hot tub, slippers and robes, soft blankets, games, the list goes on! The information folder in the cottage is a brilliant source of info - we barely used our car, as there are so many great walks in the area. Hot tub a great bonus of course! We really enjoyed bubbling away in the tub while watching the stars at night. The surrounding (private) countryside offers a few shorter walks and hidden places to have a sit around a fire pit. The cottage also boasts a pizza oven and little chiminea (we didn't use these, but nice to have the option!).

- Iris, September 2022
Kerry August 2022

“Lovely cottage, fantastic location - close enough to everything you need, lots of wonderful places to walk and eat, yet quiet and tranquil wiht plenty of countryside around.”

Hot tub and barbeque were used extensively and we wanted for nothing. Good info on things to do and places to go, and nice touches like torches for when we walked back from the pub in the dark, dvds, and of course, fluffy dressing gowns for when finsihed in the hot tub!

- Kerry, August 2022
Helen July 2022

“What a beautiful place this is.”

We stayed in Pheasant Lodge and it had everything we needed to make a relaxed and peaceful holiday. The scenery, location, extras all make this a very special place. The owners are friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. A lovely find and it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding anniversary. S & K, thank you for a perfect holiday.

- Helen, July 2022
Margaret July 2022

“A perfect place to both relax and explore the Dorset coast or new forest area.”

There are plenty of places to eat, some walkable and more a short drive away. The garden and views across to the woods are a good way to spend the evening in the hot tub. If you like camp fire bbq then the fire pit areas in the woods are an excellent idea, with plenty of wildlife to spot.

- Margaret, July 2022
Henrietta June 2022

“We loved our stay at Pheasant Lodge and we will come back.”

☺️ Kellie and Steve were super nice, a welcome pack waited us on the table with lovely food and Prosecco and a birthday card, as it was my birthday and they remembered. Such a lovely gesture. There is an information folder that contains everything you need to know. This is a magic place, you have a private garden and it takes around 20 minutes to go around the whole place that belongs to the owners, you can use their whole woods and enjoy watching its lovely wild life; a deer, a fox family, rabbits, sheeps, birds, squerrel, etc. so wonderful and peaceful. The hot tub is brilliant, clean, checked everyday by the owners and it's so nice sitting in even when the weather is not the best, you can still enjoy the incredible view from the hot tub. It clearly shows that the owners are working hard to make everything clean and tidy while keeping the original miracle of this place. There is a lovely pub just a few minutes by walk, just recommend booking them in advance. The accommodation is well equiped, we brought a lot of things with us that we didn't need to use in the end. Although the owner's place is near and there is another lodge next to this, you still have your privacy, we enjoyed every minute so much! Thank you Kellie and Steve, see you soon. xx

Alexis June 2022

“We had such an amazing time at Pheasant Lodge and have recommended it to family and friends.”

We would love to come back in the future! Every amenity you could think of was provided in the lodge, it was clean and comfortable and there was always something to do (even when it rained)! The hosts were so lovely and made sure that we had everything we needed. Their pet sheep and dog were so friendly and lovely to pet and we were lucky enough to see a baby deer running through the woodland. There is a pub round the corner (literally a 2 minute walk) which served a wide variety of food and there are nearby towns if you walk in either direction, just over a mile walk if you want to go to the shops or explore. Also, the hot tub was easy to use and is cleaned every day and we also received a hamper with some tasty treats which was lovely! We would definitely come again! Thanks so much for having us.

- Alexis, June 2022
Mark May 2022

“Recently enjoyed a wonderful stay at Pheasant Lodge.”

The lodge was very well equipped, comfortable and had a lovely private garden and super view over the field and beyond. During our stay, we were lucky enough to see deer, the two friendly pet sheep, a fox, pheasant and numerous birds all in this tranquil haven. Super Hot Tub too! Ideal base for touring Dorset's quant villages, seaside and sampling local food and ales. Thank you Kellie, for the lovely welcome pack and we hope that Loki, the dog is making new friends!

- Mark, May 2022
Gavin March 2022

Scott November 2021

“A massive thank you to Kellie and Steve for helping to make our short stay so wonderful.”

The lodge was perfect, helped by the hot tub, scenery and some lovely nearby walks. The welcome basket was a lovely treat and we will certainly be back one day. Grace and Scott.

Russell July 2021

“Kellie and Steve were lovely, very considerate and thoughtful.”

I am always sceptical about advice given by the people who own / run the holiday or resort we're visiting but Kellie and Steve gave us genuine personal opinions on where to go and what do and how best to experience them. Actually on reflection I think our holiday was made better knowing that the people who owned the accommodation were genuinely nice people. The deer in the back garden also helped swing our opinion.

- Russell, July 2021
Robert July 2021

“The lodge had everything we needed and more.”

It was immaculately clean and really comfortable. Kellie or host was very friendly and helpful before, during and even after our stay as I left something behind which she kindly posted back to me. The woodland trail and barbeque area in the ground is really well kept and a lot of attention to detail. We spotted deer twice during the week within the grounds. I can’t recommend this property enough.

- Robert, July 2021
Grant July 2021

“The lodge was absolutely perfect for our honeymoon and such a relaxing break.”

Kellie and Steve were both very welcoming and friendly and very kindly extended our check out time on our last day. In the hot summer months, a tower fan would of helped to keep the lodge cool and may help with trying to sleep through the heat. Other than that, it was absolutely perfect, couldn't fault the lodge at all.

- Grant, July 2021

Thank you for your review of Pheasant Lodge and we are delighted that you found it perfect for your honeymoon. During your stay we did experience a heatwave in excess of 30 degrees which was somewhat unusual in England. We do provide a fan in both of our properties for periods of warmer weather and hope that you found this useful. We hope to see you again in the future. Warmest wishes for your future together Kellie and Steve Property Owner

Rachel October 2020

“We had the loveliest stay in Pheasant Lodge!”

The accommodation was so cosy and well kept. Every detail was so well thought out to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The hosts were incredibly helpful: checking us in and showing us how to use the hot tub, giving us delicious home made apple cake, local cider and local chocolates as well as recommending things locally to do! We loved the hot tub and the fact that the accommodation is not at all overlooked, allowing us to admire the beautiful countryside and look at the stars at night. The location was great for exploring the local area and there is a pub just a few minutes walk away, which was great even with the current restrictions! Would highly recommend this accommodation and the hosts. Thanks again!

- Rachel, October 2020
Brian September 2020

Lewis July 2020

“An absolutely fantastic stay at Pheasant Lodge to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday.”

The lodge and surrounding woodland areas were lovely and even more so in the glorious July sunshine. Steve and Kellie were wonderful and very friendly and welcoming, and even left us an amazing Victoria Sponge, fizz and birthday messages in the lodge upon arrival which was very kind of them and very much appreciated. We saw many animals also whilst staying at the lodge including sheep, deer, hares and pheasants. There is also a brilliant pub restaurant (Vintage Inns) a couple of minutes walk from the lodge with great tasting food, if you don't fancy cooking or starting up the BBQ. I cannot recommend Chapel Lodges highly enough and have already recommended to our family and friends! Will definitely look to return in the future as was very sad to leave on our final day!

“Pheasant lodge was absolutely perfect.”

We were welcomed with a delicious home made apple cake and a bottle of fizz. A beautiful location, with stunning views, peaceful and private. The lodge had everything we needed and was a magical weekend stay. Spent the evening watching the sheep, pheasants and deer across the field & relaxing in the hot tub. A great location too, close to Poole. We would definitely like to come back. thanks for wonderful stay.

- Emma, March 2020
Timothy December 2019

“Absolutely loved it, looked good when booked even better when arrived, beautiful location, quiet and peaceful getaway which is exactly what we were looking for, we were there over the new year and it was warm and very comfortable, superb nights sleep, the bed was one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, in fact I'm going to get one the same for our own home, despite being there in the winter we still used the hot tub which was so nice after a day exploring, we even got in with it being windy and raining outside, getting in was lovely, the challenge was getting out !”

!!! Had to be done though, looking forward to our next visit in the summer so that we can enjoy sitting out in the hot tub or by the fire pit with a drink and enjoy the country side view and various animals and wildlife roaming about the several acres of land around the lodge. We'll be back asap. T & S Ward

- Timothy, December 2019
Katherine December 2019

“The lodge is perfect for a secluded, peaceful getaway.”

The owners were so kind, friendly and welcoming. The lodge itself was extremely comfortable and cosy; with a beautiful bathroom and a functional kitchen. The surrounding area is perfect for walking or relaxing next to a fire pit. Also the owners cats are amazing and so friendly. Would definitely visit again. 5 stars!

- Sandra, September 2019
Martin September 2019

“We had a lovely relaxing week, with a warm welcome and milk, bubbles and cake waiting for us.”

The lodge is not large as the photos show, but fine for 2, and with everything you need and details of local attractions and facilities. Unexpected bonuses included WiFi, Netflix & Amazon video (+ some DVDs), and bathrobes. We really enjoyed sitting in the hot tub looking at the deer in the distance, the moon and stars, bats and birds. The various fire pits with wood, firelighters, grille and chairs/tables and blankets were also a really nice touch. Thanks very much for a great stay.

- Martin, September 2019
William August 2019

“A charming little cottage and perfect for a relaxing break away from it all, the woodland walks among the wildlife was also a peaceful way to spend an hour or two, The hosts Steve and Kelly were also excellent and had put a bottle of bubbly and a home made cake in the cottage for us to enjoy and could not have been more welcoming, overall a perfect place to holiday.”

- William, August 2019
Matthew August 2019

“Amazing location, beautiful lodge, great facilities.”

They literally have thought of everything in this lodge. From fire pits with wood and firelighters ready to go and blankets to keep warm, to a beautiful woodland walk light up dimly by little fairly lights. The hot tub is fantastic, and the view from it is even better, most nights we had a little deer visit us. The wildlife in the area is outstanding, we saw pairs of green woodpeckers, a pheasant that would feed from your hand and walk with you in the fields, swallow flying around everywhere and much more. Including the two fluffy gentle natured cats that take a stroll on a morning and night. The owners were so tentative yet you felt like you were completely alone, thanks to the view of fields and woodland in front of the lodge, and a fence on the left tucking away the owners house. We were surprised to find a lovely bottle of bubbly and homemade lemon drizzle cake set out for us. The lengths the owners have went to, to deliver a relaxing and really enjoyable holiday, is ridiculous. We cannot fault them! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone, whether your looking to chill out and enjoy a drink and the hot tub, or watch nature come right up to you. This has it all. I really could keep going on! Thank you so much, and we hope to stay and see you guys again! Emily & Matty

- Matthew, August 2019
Tracey June 2019

“Warm welcome and little extras not expected but greatly appreciated after our journey - milk, scones, bottle of fizz etc.”

. Personal welcome from owners on arrival made us feel immediately settled and comfortable in the beautiful lodge and vast private land we had total access to. Location is great. Peace and quiet with nature but so near to local points of interest - we visited Sandbanks Beach, Studlands and Poole in our short stay. Hot tub and bbq facilities was an attraction on our booking which did not fail to impress. Big thank-you to Kelly and Steve who have obviously put so much hard work into 'Sykes' and it is transparent to us that it is a true labour of love.

- Tracey, June 2019
Brenda May 2019

“What an absolutely gorgeous place.”

Steve and Kellie have put so much care, attention and thought into creating this wonderful lodge and this shows wherever you look in Pheasant Lodge. It is such an idyllic location, being able to sit with a cup of tea in the morning and watch the rabbits and deer running across the fields. Utter magic. The BBQ pits placed around the land are another example of just how well thought out this is, and are perfect for cooking a delicious BBQ whilst sitting back and enjoying a cold beer, with a gorgeous sunset as your backdrop. And when you get back, you can sit in the hot tub and relax for a few hours. I could honestly rave about Pheasant Lodge for hours and hours, but you will just have to go there yourself to experience it...you absolutely will not be disappointed!

The property

This luxurious studio style couples retreat is the perfect place for relaxing and unwinding.

Set in 13 acres of beautiful private countryside and woodland which is home to an array of wildlife, this is the perfect place to escape busy lives and reconnect with nature - whilst remaining just 1.5 miles from the thriving town of Wimborne and a short walk from a beautiful picture postcard thatched pub and restaurant.

Pheasant lodge provides a wonderful studio space with a comfortable sofa from which to watch your favourite films or just take in the view.

Resting behind the lounge area is a sumptuous king size bed with Egyptian cotton linen and bedside lighting.

There is a modern bathroom with double shower and Egyptian cotton towels, bathrobes and slippers. The kitchen area is well equipped with inside and outside dining options for enjoying a romantic meal.

Alternatively, why not fire up the BBQ or pizza oven in your enclosed, unoverlooked garden and take advantage of the beautiful outdoor setting.

A perfect evening can be spent watching the birds, wildlife including wild deer, from the relaxing, bubbling hot tub as the sun sets, then star gazing as darkness falls.

Alternatively light the chimenea and enjoy the peace and tranquility. Make sure you leave time to explore the beautiful grounds.

Sit around one of the firepits and toast some marshmallows while listening to bird song and enjoying the tranquil surroundings or challenge your partner to a fun game of croquet or giant Jenga.
