Claire the proprietor couldn't have been lovelier or more helpful. She has the place running to a very high standard. We stayed in the Lodge which was set back in the woods with the most wonderful view of local fields. It is connected to the main space by an enchanting boardwalk which magically lights up as you step onto it at night! The accommodation is very clean and cosy. A great place to bring your family/children for a fun weekend away in the summer.

There was no broadband or wifi connection out in the lovely, secluded Lodge. This would have been fine (and quite nice if you wanted a break!) but as we were there for work, we had to sit by the pool to pick up a connection.

The loft flat in the barn is amazing; the perfect post-party crash pad! Heads up that because of the septic system, they prefer if you use their own biodegradable products; and because it’s in the countryside, it’s best to bring your own food (no Starbucks around the corner!). But this also made it really picturesque – a secluded flat with a self-contained key, away from other campers but overlooking a biking path and a large field cattle graze on. We visited because we had a wedding at St. Giles’ House. We are Canadian, with no car—so travel became trickier for us. The staff at Rivendell House—Clare particularly—helped us so much finding local taxis. Her check-in instructions were clear, and she was available regularly for questions about the property. I would definitely recommend booking this loft if you’re looking for a nice place to stay whilst visiting the countryside!

A real home from home with everything needed provided. The pool and jacuzzi was a huge hit with the kids. The house and apartment were well equipped, comfortable and great for a party of 11 people. The staff were all so friendly, happy and helpful.

Everything was good 👍

The studio apartment looked exactly like the pictures, really beautifully done and had everything we needed for our stay. It was also immaculately clean. Location was great being away from the site but close enough to enjoy the facilities on offer!

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Fabulous accommodation, clean and comfortable. Lovely staff. Nice little touches like milk in the fridge and shower gels etc

Taxis wouldn't come out to us and this was a problem as we had a wedding in St Giles house. However, I felt that this was a good base to visit Poole, Bournemouth and Wimborne Minster. We had a very relaxing time.

Very clean and tidy. The hot tub was big , we fit 7 people on it , very hot water and intense bubbling . The barbecue was amazing and very organised. Can’t wait to be back

Comfortable apartment, with everything you needed. Kids loved the pool and hot tub. Very clean and beautiful location. Quiet at night. Lovely staff.

Such a beautiful location and so quiet. Great social undercover bbq area.

Only thing I could say, the sauna was out of use.

Well I must say this place is fantastic, perfect location, very scenic. We stayed in the mobile home, which was like home from home, perfect place to relax with all the essentials. Very quiet and wonderful setting. Highly recommend!

Nothing!!!

Lovely location very friendly staff, property beautifully maintained, very clean, swimming pool and hot tub in secure location

That we couldn't stay longer
