    “Overall we had a pleasant stay at Toll Lodge.”

    The property was fairly clean and comfortable, and although some areas felt a little dated, it didn’t negatively impact our stay. There are a few things that I think could be improved or described more clearly for future guests. The bathroom extractor fan struggled to clear the moisture after showers, which resulted in condensation building up in the small bathroom and some black marks visible on the ceiling. Updating the fan would make a big difference. One of the main issues for us was the ...

    The property was fairly clean and comfortable, and although some areas felt a little dated, it didn’t negatively impact our stay. There are a few things that I think could be improved or described more clearly for future guests. The bathroom extractor fan struggled to clear the moisture after showers, which resulted in condensation building up in the small bathroom and some black marks visible on the ceiling. Updating the fan would make a big difference. One of the main issues for us was the internet. The property listing stated that WiFi was available, however it was not working during our stay. The owners were already aware of this as advised in the welcome pack and suggested purchasing a prepaid dongle instead, which unfortunately meant an unexpected additional expense while on holiday. As the smart TV also relied on the internet, this feature was unusable too. It’s also worth bearing in mind that some guests may need internet access for work while away, as I had planned to do, and this unfortunately resulted in lost working days for me. I would recommend either resolving the issue or temporarily removing WiFi from the listed amenities until it is reliable again. It may also help to clarify the description of the garden area, as it is accessed via steps and is more of an elevated balcony-style outdoor space rather than a directly accessible garden. Aside from these points, we still had an enjoyable stay and appreciated the accommodation overall

About the location

Frampton

Frampton is a small Dorset village, situated between Dorchester and Crewkerne. Still very much a rural village, it is surrounded by beautiful Dorset countryside and plenty of lovely walks or cycle including the cycle path from Dorchester to Maiden Newton. Although enjoying a lovely rural aspect, Frampton is under 6 miles from the Country town of Dorchester where you can find all the high street amenities you need as well as interesting attractions including, Max, Gate Thomas Hardy’s 19th Century former house, the County Museum, and The Teddy bear Museum. Maiden’s castle, the Roman fort sits on the outskirts and is an enjoyable walk. Bridport is around 15 miles away and has a much-coveted antiques and collectables market, as well as many independent shops and cafes’. A short 1 miles drive from Bridport is West Bay, the seaside Harbour village, famous for it’s role in ITV’s Broadchurch series. As well as seeing many of the now famous locations used, be sure to enjoy local fish and chips on the harbourside and an ice cream on the seafront.

Note: The owner advises that Toll Lodge is not suitable for children under 5 years old due to the steep stone steps in the garden. Note: WiFi - Please note due to the rural location of this property the WiFi continuity cannot be guaranteed. Note: one basket of logs provided autumn/winter. Note: Steps leading up to enclosed rear garden
