    “This place was ideal for us in terms of facilities.”

    After becoming disabled last year, I needed somewhere I could use my wheelchair if I needed to and shower easily. The lodge was excellent for this and has the best equipped kitchen I have seen anywhere - even my own home! I’d brought a few bits as a contingency measure (Sharp knife, roasting tray, good veg peeler etc.) as self catering places are usually lacking in these things, but they all stayed packed all week as weren’t needed at all. Our dog was welcomed and it didn’t feel like tick ...

    After becoming disabled last year, I needed somewhere I could use my wheelchair if I needed to and shower easily. The lodge was excellent for this and has the best equipped kitchen I have seen anywhere - even my own home! I’d brought a few bits as a contingency measure (Sharp knife, roasting tray, good veg peeler etc.) as self catering places are usually lacking in these things, but they all stayed packed all week as weren’t needed at all. Our dog was welcomed and it didn’t feel like tick box exercise. Scones and cream on arrival (my husband demolished these as I am Coeliac and his sister who came with us is vegan) as well as milk. There was salt, pepper oil and cleaning stuff too. Really comfy sofas and beds. The only thing we would have added, was something in the shower to put shower gel, shampoo and conditioner as there is only a soap tray. That is a tiny thing though, when you consider you’re on holiday! The roads are very narrow to get from the property to surrounding areas. We have a large estate car to accommodate the wheelchair, and due to a lack of passing places, journeys in bad weather or the dark were not pleasant. Other than that, it is ideally situated to reach so many places. I would definitely stay again - Jeff wouldn’t as he did the driving and isn’t as confident as he once was. Thank you for having us!

The property

Brookfield Lodge is a wonderful ground-floor holiday home set in the small village of Drimpton found in the beautiful rural West Dorset, just under 5-miles away from the bustling town of Beaminster.

This property is perfect for a small family or group of friends looking to enjoy the country delights of Dorset, with a special emphasis on being suitable for those in wheelchairs as it is ground-floor and has a wet room.

An open-plan living space provides you with a great social space to enjoy each others time; a dining table sits opposite the kitchen perfect for watching on with a glass of wine while the chefs do their thing in the kitchen.

Make use of the good range of appliances for cooking up tasty dishes, before retiring to the sitting area to go over the days events and wind down for the evening.

The sitting room overlooks the lovely garden through the patio doors, onto the patio which has seating for sitting out and soaking up the rays on a sunny day.

The property is set within the grounds of the owner's home, and benefits from a lawned garden area as well with a barbecue for a summer occasion, overlooking the paddocks where the owner's horses graze.

The bedrooms consist of a double room with en-suite shower room, and a twin room, with a wet room serving them both as well.

A special feature of this property is its games room, complete with fantastic games for everyone's entertainment and fun, including a ping pong table and a table football, to take part in some healthy competitions!

This area is perfect for walking and cycling, with rural routes down country lanes, or trekking across footpaths and trails, while the Jurassic Coast is within easy driving distance to experience some incredible landscapes and vistas.

Brookfield Lodge is a lovely holiday home set in a fantastic area of Dorset.
