Lodge 16 in Corfe Castle | Must-See Dorset Hot Tub Cottage

About Lodge 16

Lodge 16 sits on the outskirts of Corfe Castle in Dorset, tucked away in the Burnbake Nature Reserve. This single-storey woodland retreat offers the perfect mix of comfort and outdoor living. Want to wake up to a symphony of birdsong? We counted 11 different species one morning. The hot tub's not bad either after a day of exploring.

The lodge enjoys excellent privacy compared to others nearby, with carefully crafted hedges creating a secluded feel. Wildlife visits daily - expect to see rabbits hopping past while you sip your morning coffee. Located just 3 miles from shops, beaches and National Trust properties, you're perfectly positioned for exploring the Isle of Purbeck's best bits without the crowds.

Inside you'll find an open-plan living space with kitchen, dining area for four and a sitting area with woodburning stove. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with en-suite bath/shower, while bedroom two offers twin beds that can zip together to form a double. There's a separate walk-in shower room too. Everything's on one level - no stairs to navigate after too many glasses of wine.

Fancy a day out? Visit Corfe Castle (2.8 miles), ride the vintage trains at Swanage Railway Museum (3 miles), splash about at Dorset Adventure Park (4 miles), or explore Swanage Beach (5.8 miles). Wareham's shops and restaurants are just 4.4 miles away.

Lodge 16 works brilliantly for couples, friends or families. The private hot tub is checked daily and the underfloor heating keeps everything toasty even when Dorset gets chilly. Book it before someone else does.
