Relaxing stay and lovely owners

We enjoyed. The place. The habitation. The vue

Thanks so much - our team loved staying there

Easy to arrange and everything went well.

We stayed as a family of 5, 2 adults, 3 children-16, 13 and 11. Enough space for us all and everything needed was provided within the lodge. We stayed during non peak season, so our 3 boys used the field outside the lodge to play football, which was a massive hit. I believe during peak season, this is used for camping. Very nice quiet and peaceful. Lodge is okay, is clean enough but I wouldn’t class it as luxury but then, you get what you pay for and it’s very reasonably priced. We stayed here as we were visiting the Tank Museum which is only 15 mins away and Weymouth 30 mins. Shops within a 10 minute drive also. Hosts friendly and they sell some lovely eggs, we bought some to take home! Would definitely return.

We had a very nice week at East Farm despite the rainy weather. Our hosts were very helpful and responsive. The house was clean and had everything we required. Would definitely stay there again.

Lovely location peaceful, everything you need

We had a wonderful week at the lodge. The site was excellent, with lots of privacy and space for the kids to play outside. The farm shop also stocked lots of great produce. Hosts were lovely and made us feel very welcome. A wonderful stay and we hope to return. Thank you!

We are a family of 5 (me and my husband, our two girls -11 and 8 years old- and grandma). We had an amazing time, very peaceful and great view. We enjoyed to sit on the porch in the evening, have coffee and homemade cake from the farm’s shop playing board games (family time away from technology!!) The owner is very welcoming. The farm has a huge field, my girls enjoyed to play around and even that there was more guests, it felt very friendly and safe. The lodge was very comfortable and had everything you need to stay for a couple of days. The supermarkets (Tesco, Morrisons, Iceland) are about 10 minutes away and we wanted to visit Durdle door which was 20 minutes driving. Overall was a great experience. We would gladly stay again.

The property suits our needs exactly. Good value for money. Nice owner. Nice and rural. Very good local pub

Lovely location, friendly host. Enjoyed our stay as lots to do in area. beds clean and really comfortable. Lovely large camping field in front which was empty of visitors so granddaughter could run around but might not be so empty in summer. Cleaning could be a bit better, oven pan still had crumbs from previous visitor, tv remote was sticky and we had to clean it. Cupboard door under washbasin in bedroom was broken and the washbasin had no cold water com8ng out of tap. Our main drawback was the cover for the septic tank is well above ground and was attracting numerous flies so needed to keep windows closed and could not sit on verandah as was at same end as septic tank. Used picnic mat and sat outside at other end of caravan and flies were no problem. With a few repairs and adjustments this could be a really lovely place but not there yet.

A lovely peaceful two-night stay in Lupin Lodge, just what we needed as a base for our visit to Monkey World. The hosts were so helpful and thoughtful throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed when we checked in and checking on us after the temperatures dropped overnight to see if we'd been warm enough. Simple lodge, with lovely furnishings to make it homely and well-equipped throughout for our short stay. Two boys enjoyed making use of the field with a football!

We thought that we were booking a 'luxury pinewood lodge' but what we got was caravan with some wood cladding tacked to the exterior whilst inside we were faced with peeling wallpaper and paint, mouldy blinds and a broken bathroom window. The advertisement said, the accommodation was spacious but the living area was small (only just seating 4) and one of the bedrooms could not comfortably accommodate adults, housing 2 tiny, single beds that were really only suitable for children. It is unfair that this property is being marketed as a luxurious lodge. It is not luxurious and it not a lodge, it is caravan and not a well maintained one at that. I am trying to be fair, I'm not complaining about the one night of cold water (as that issue was fixed when it was raised) nor the outside light that didn't work and meant we felt unsafe returning to the van after dark but it is not the accommodation it is marketed as. I have shared this feedback with the caravan owners prior to posting.

Lovely short break with my sister and friend Perfect location and nice views, we have stayed here twice and enjoyed both visits

Accommodation was fine - no issues. Quiet location with no light pollution. 3 adults and 1 child staying and we had all we needed. Very accommodating hosts - lent us a hairdryer. Milk and eggs available 24hrs. Accommodation could possibly do with a bit of TLC but this did not affect our stay. Thank you for having us :)

Good for our needs

It was a lovely location and the hosts were wonderful.

Property not as described. Dirty, mould, wallpaper falling off the wall! Shower doors didn’t work, cold tap in bedroom didn’t turn on at all. Field full of campers so not as shown. Spoke to owners who offered no compensation initially and then asked us to leave the same evening at 8:30pm! Most awful stay of my life!ended up being asked to leave by owners very aggressively with a refund. Now nowhere to stay and holiday completely ruined. Emailed and called VRBO and yet to recieve a response! Awaiting fee back from VRBO.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the lodge on East Farm. The hosts were very welcoming, kind and helpful. The lodge was clean and comfortable. The food from the Farm Shop was delicious. East Farm is well placed for visiting Dorset's attractions and beaches. Highly recommended!

It could be lovely but it’s in desperate need of a good clean but also redecoration the wall paper is peeling off the walls, mould in the shower room is very off putting although the shower itself was very good with plenty of hot water. The kitchen area is clean apart from the blind and is fully stocked with everything we needed. The living area was comfortable but again dated. Sky TV is limited but a good picture no WiFi though. A little tlc and it would be a cracking little place. The area around is very green but very few places to eat The Crown is about 10 mins drive away but very good food.

A lovely peaceful lodge not too far from beaches , but away from the world. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

As usual, the host and the family were great. We weren’t able to stay last year due to Covid, but glad to be back.

We arrived around 4 30 no problem booking in .Wewere shown to the lodge and was very happy when we went inside very clean nicely decorated 3 bedrooms were ample room .good living area all you needed in kitchen. Towels supplied .Was nice and quiet good view .Easy to get to places from here . outside spacious verander with table and chairs

Simple and small place but everything worked and place was very clean. Owners were always available to assist. Had a very relaxing time and enjoyed a short wild walk.

Looking a bit tired but overall comfortable with lovely country view

Great place to stay, especially if you want the secluded feel while being close to local attractions and towns.

Great place with a nice host

Owners are very nice and helpful. They own a little shop and coffee shop where you can have afternoon tea and delicious homemade cakes. The lodge is nice in a very quit environment. We had a great time in Dorset.Thank you.

Great, left feeling really chilled

My three boys (6, 8 and 15) and I had a fun-filled few days using the Lodge as our base. Rupert and Jenny were very friendly and helpful hosts and their son William took them under his wing and showed them around the farm (including feeding lambs, playing football, hide-and-seek etc.). The Lodge was very comfortable with heaters in each room, comfy lounge area and well-equipped kitchen. We'll be back!

The sleeping arrangements were perfect and the beds comfortable, it was just the right size for the three of us. Nice to watch and hear sheep and a pony out the window while having breakfast :) The living room heater wasn't quite powerful enough, but there were plenty of blankets to sit under. Well located for driving to all the local attractions like Durdle Door and Swanage beach.
