“Fantastic property in lovely location, clean spacious and very comfortable.”

Had everything you could need. Beds were comfortable, large showers couldn't fault anything, perfect for three generations of family.

Jane May 2024

“We loved our stay at Corfe Lodge.”

The house itself is bright, airy and welcoming, with a lovely view of the castle. There were some toys and books for the younger ones, and the safety measures, eg stairgates, made it perfect for families with small children. Thank you,

“The cottage fully met our expectations.”

The accommodation and facilities were first rate and there is nothing we would recommend changing. Truly amazing hosts that welcomed us with everything we needed to start our holiday. We have already booked again for next year and look forward to taking our family again, including our two young grandchildren that were also welcomed by the hosts.

Matthew April 2024

“Such a lovely property with direct views of the imposing ruin of Corfe Castle.”

Corfe Lodge is a large spacious house, clean and well equipped - ideal for a large family holiday in Purbeck. Laura and Paul were very welcoming and the whole house is light and airy with plenty of accommodation and storage. The garden and patio area are secure and private with lovely views and occasional visiting deer on the neighbouring hillside. A high quality property throughout which has been thoughtfully separated from the owners adjoining property behind. 5 stars.

- Matthew, April 2024

Thank you so much for your full and fab review. We are so pleased that you and your family enjoyed your stay at the cottage, had plenty of room and that the deer put in the occasional appearance. It was a a pleasure to have you all to stay over the Easter holidays. Property Owner

Richard September 2023

“Good property located within easy walking distance to Corfe Castle, although a short part of the route requires negotiating a busy road with no footpath.”

The house is well equipped and fairly comfortable although the beds are a bit hard. The property was very clean and welcoming.

- Richard, September 2023
Karen September 2023

“The Lodge was perfect for our family.”

It was a very spacious house with everything you could possibly need. Very clean and a lovely welcome pack from the hosts. It is in an area that is central to visiting lots of places but not having to travel far. We would definitely stay here if we visit this area again.

- Karen, September 2023

Thanks for such lovely feedback. So glad you enjoyed your family holiday here and explored so much of the beautiful local area. Would be great to have you stay again if you return to the Purbeck area. Property Owner

“Our stay at Corfe Lodge was amazing, it’s a real home from home in a beautiful location.”

The house was spotlessly clean and tidy. Our hosts were lovely and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning in the future.

“A very comfortable property with everything you need for a family ranging from very young children to grandparents.”

It was convenient for visiting the attractions in the surrounding area. We had a super stay.

- Philip, August 2023

Thank you very much for your lovely comments about the property , both on-line and in the Guest Book at the cottage. We are so pleased you all enjoyed yourselves, saw the Castle lit up for the outdoor event and even caught sight of the deer on the hill. Glad you could enjoy exploring the area and had fun at the seaside. Property Owner
Julie August 2023

“Very comfortable and well equipped.”

Plenty of space for everyone and lovely to have the views of Corfe Castle. Having the steam trains so close was a real treat. The only negative point is the size/weight of the plates which we found rather cumbersome!

- Julie, August 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback about the property. Much appreciated. With regards to the plates, having decided to equip the cottage kitchen with Denby crockery as apposed to a budget range, the plates are more robust. We are sorry to hear that this wasn’t the most convenient for you and having taken your comments on board, a lighter/smaller additional set will be provided going forward. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner
Muriel July 2023

“Everything was fine but we could have done with a mop and a bucket for the kitchen floor”

- Muriel, July 2023

Thanks very much for bringing that to our attention. I will order one immediately. Property Owner
Claire July 2023

“This is a lovely homely cottage.”

It is spacious, immaculately clean and extremely well equipped. Laura and Paula are excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. It is perfectly located for exploring the area and there are plenty of places with-in easy reach to visit and walks to go on. It was great to be able to walk into the village for supplies or a meal out. We never tired of the view of the castle.

- Claire, July 2023

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We are delighted to hear you had such a great time and found the cottage catered for your needs. There are so many great places to explore locally. The area is certainly beautiful and the Castle itself, rather magical. Property Owner

David September 2022

“What a gem this place is, so clean and tidy, that caters for everything, we have just had a family holiday at Corfe Lodge, I must say we were not disappointed at all with the location, how the cottage is kitted out, the great helpful owners who live attached to the property who are on hand should you need them, (not that you should).”

Lovely touch by the owners, with the little starter kit that was left out on our arrival. Everything about our stay was 1st class and we will definitely be looking to come back at some point in the near future. It is a great base to get out and see the beauty of the Dorset area, which is stunning.

- David, September 2022

Thank you so much for your really lovely review. We are so pleased that you had such a great time in Dorset and enjoyed staying in the cottage. Glad to hear you found it had all that you needed for you and your family. We would love to see you again if you are able to come back for another visit in the future. Property Owner
Nicola August 2022

“We had a fantastic week at Corfe Lodge.”

Everything we needed was available & the owner was close to hand to answer questions, give advice & went above & beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you.

- Nicola, August 2022

Thank you for your lovely review. So pleased you all had great holiday and that you found all that you needed at the Cottage. Property Owner
Emma July 2022

“We had a wonderful three generation family stay at Corfe lodge.”

The owners have really worked hard to turn their former family home into a brilliant place to stay. They were very responsive to emails I sent and also live next door, so are on hand should you need anything, without being intrusive (and you have plenty of privacy). The property is very well appointed with everything you could need included. The private garden has views of the castle and is a great spot to deer watch. The location was even better than we expected as the postcode given early on in the booking process is not reflective of the exact location. It’s only a 5-10 minute walk into Corfe which is a lovely village, with a few shops, bakery, cafe, pubs etc. There isn’t a path for the first 100 yards or so for the walk into the village, but we navigated it with a pushchair without too much trouble. Overall a wonderful stay, and we’d definitely recommend / love to return one day.

- Emma, July 2022

Thank you for such a kind and full review. So glad you have enjoyed the cottage and found it had all you needed for your family holiday. With regards to the location of the property, the details explaining it’s close proximity to the Castle and the village (rather than the centre of the postcode), were already with the agency but it seems were only provided by them at a later stage in your booking. Having now raised the matter, I have been informed that this information will be provided by them earlier. Property Owner
Margaret June 2022

“Perfect holiday home for 3 generations of family.”

The Lodge lacked nothing and offered all the comforts of home. This is the ideal place to enjoy all that Corfe Castle and the surrounding area has to offer - whilst ensuring a quiet oasis of calm. The view of the Castle every morning was spectacular. It was a real pleasure seeing the deer and squirrels every day. The garden was safe and perfect for two boisterous children. Just gorgeous. Thank you June 2022

- Margaret, June 2022

Thanks for your lovely review. So pleased all your family felt at home at the cottage and that you had a great time exploring the area. Property Owner
Jayne May 2022

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

The property is extremely well equipped, immaculately clean, warm, and perfect for our 2 families. The owners are generous and on hand in case of any issue. The garden is enclosed and safe with visiting deer and rabbits in the land at the side. It is very well placed for walking into Corfe, running around the many paths and cycling. We would happily visit again. Thank you

- Jayne, May 2022

Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed the cottage and that your family could come together at the Jubilee weekend. Property Owner

The property

Corfe Lodge, a lovely four-bedroom Purbeck stone cottage in Dorset, is tucked away on the outskirts of the historic village of Corfe Castle.

Corfe Lodge is a great place for a family or group of eight to stay in the Dorset AONB because of its great location and easy access to local amenities.

Parking can be found in one of three off-road spaces, before unloading your bags and beginning your holiday.

There is a large dining table that seats eight people and a Smart TV, so you don't have to miss out on any of your favourite shows while you're cooking up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen/diner!

The garden is a lovely spot for alfresco dining, with its dining table and parasol, along with views of the historic Corfe Castle.

After dinner, head to the sitting room to relax in front of the wood-burning stove on the plush sofas as you watch a family favourite on the Smart TV.

On the ground-floor you will also find a well-appointed double bedroom, with use of the nearby cloakroom, perfect for those with limited mobility.

Make your way to the first floor, where you can relax in the bath or shower after a day of exploring the coast.

There are three more bedrooms on this floor: a king with its own en-suite shower, an double, and a twin , all with Smart TVs, perfect for watching your favourite shows while you wake up slowly in the mornings.

The Castle Inn and The Pink Goat are two great options for a night out with your loved ones when you fancy a night off from the kitchen!

Enjoy a stroll along the Corfe River in the historic village before making your way to the impressive Corfe Castle, where you can explore fascinating ruins, take in the views of the village, and go on nature hikes through beautiful scenery.

Additionally, the Corfe Castle Model Village, Dorset Adventure Park and Corfe Castle Railway Station can all be found nearby.

You can easily get to Wareham and Arne, which is known for its extensive RSPB site, which are sure to entice any birdwatchers.

Visit Swanage for a day at the beach where you can relax on the sands, eat fish and chips as you stroll along the pier, or enjoy the Sante-Fe Fun Park.

Immerse yourself in your surroundings further and enjoy the nostalgia and excitement of hopping on board the town’s award-winning vintage steam train, taking you through the beautiful Purbeck countryside.

Onward to Poole, where you'll find a history museum, lovely parks, and the National Trust site of Brownsea Island where you can spot all kinds of wildlife.

Just a few miles away, Studland Beach is a stunning coastal destination where you can try your hand at a variety of watersports or simply relax in the sun.

Or venture further afield to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door or to find both Weymouth or Bournemouth, hosting even more fantastic attractions to suit all ages.

Acquaint yourself with the beauty of Dorset at Corfe Lodge.

Corfe Lodge is situated very closely to Corfe Castle. The property postcode makes it seem as though it is not but it is actually approximately 200 metres from the Castle itself.
