Our Accommodation

As the name already suggests our accommodation in the main house is in a very cottage style. On the first floor we have one large, en suite, double room, which is accessible by a spiral stair case. You can sleep under the big Velux window which has fantastic views of the surrounding countryside and a clear view of the stars at night. The room also offers a comfortable, sitting room area, with a large selection of old books.

The power shower, with its handmade French tiles, has been added recently and the double room can be fitted with an extra bed. The twin room, with private bathroom (bath and shower), is situated on the ground floor with views on to the garden and the lodge. The private bathroom is opposite the bedroom and is for twin room guests' private use only.

Our Lapland Lodge offers unique accommodation for up to 3 – 4 guests (max. 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 not grown-up children). We have provided sleeping bags with silk liners which lie on top of cushions and sheep skins. Guests have a separate and adjoining cabin with a Belfast sink (hot and cold water) and toilet.

Just outside there is a 300 year old pine tree where you may experience the sounds of the owls and other visiting birds. The many candles and the fairy light make a stay at the lodge an unforgettable cosy experience.

Please note: Health and safety / fire & insurance policies do not allow an open inside-fire / BBQ when the lodge is being used for overnight stays.

The decked platform of the lodge is the ideal place to have your sun downers or late night drinks, certainly one of the most romantic settings one can imagine. All rooms offer tea and coffee facilities, hair dryers and free WIFI (cottage rooms only). Breakfast for all guests is being served in our gardens or the breakfast room in the Cottage (no breakfast served in the Lodge).

 A mobile outside grill is also available to all our guests who may enjoy a private BBQ in our lovely garden. During the colder season we also offer Swiss cheese fondue or raclette evenings (pre-booking essential).

Testimonials 2024/2025

What can I say, but just perfect from start to finish. The room was just beautifully designed with a lovely seating area, and incredibly comfy bed. The breakfast, well that was just something else! I have never and probably will never have such an amazing breakfast. So much choice and cooked to perfection. Peter and Joey were lovely, so friendly and Peter is so knowledgeable and happily chatted with me during breakfast. As for location it was great and so close to Shell Beach which was so quiet and stunning and my favourite swim spot. Corfe Castle just up the road and lots of excellent hiking spots around. A very memorable couple of days and one of my favourites!

Wonderful cottage, nicely decorated with beautiful garden where we had our breakfast. Rooms very cozy and Peter was very friendly and helpful giving us recommendations. Strongly recommended.

Lovely accommodation and amazing breakfast in the beautiful garden! Thank you!

We had a lovely stay. Peter was extremely professional, and the place was wonderful. We were very impressed with the breakfast that was one of the best ones we ever had.Thank you!

Fantastic hosts, excellent location, quirky and cute lodge to stay for a night or two. Brilliant!

We stayed in the Lapland Lodge and had a wonderful time. Peter was excellent at communicating prior to our visit and so accommodating and friendly upon arrival. The lodge is excellent for a couple to stay in for the night, beautifully decorated and so charming. Very well equipped with what you need for a night’s stay. Parking was a huge bonus. Lovely breakfast in the morning too, thank you Peter! A real hidden gem near Swanage. We would love to return! Thank you so much.

Fantastic and very welcoming host. The Yurt was incredible and well decorated and styled. A really rustic and relaxing atmosphere to it. Peter's breakfast - can't beat it. The Hospitality was incredible.

Peter was the perfect host. he went the extra mile to make our stay memorable, from providing fresh milk for our afternoon tea to supplying a sumptuous breakfast on the garden lawn each morning.

Genuinely one of the best experiences I've had through AirBnB. Fun and quirky place to stay in a great location. Peter is an excellent host, his experience in hospitality really shines, helpful, friendly and an amazing breakfast spread.

Amazing stay, hosted by the fantastic Peter. We were made to feel like royalty. Super flexible and responsive host. Amazing breakfast and all round great hospitality. Would love to stay again.

Clean and comfortable place with an amazing, large and beautiful garden. It was lovely to eat breakfast served by Peter, outside in the garden. The house was also 10 minutes’ walk from a station for the steam railway to Swanage and Corfe. Peter gave lots of useful recommendations of places to visit too. Would come again!

Thank you for being the most welcoming host I’ve ever met. We loved staying at your Lapland cottage. It’s so cosy and cute. Your breakfasts are amazing- you really do go above and beyond. Your garden is gorgeous and it’s so kind of you to share it with us. We will certainly be back.
