    “We were really looking forward to this holiday, but said to say we found it lacking.”

    Most of it only niggling little things but they mounted up...from showers that didn't work without loud noises to seats that were so low we had trouble getting out of them. I sat in a chair at the table the whole week and even they were very rickety. We booked it for the swimming pool, which in the end I didn't use due to the flight of steps we had to negotiate. Also lacked a shower in the pool area which meant we would have to have gone upstairs.

    As owners, we are of course sorry to learn that your stay was in any way lacking. Usually we would ask guests to contact the booking agency during their stay if there is anything that can be done to improve their experience but in this case I honestly don't think we could have done something to help you. The showers are powerful as they work off mains pressure, we find that most guests like a decent power shower, they should not be overly noisy though so will double check this. The sofas are from Next Home so aren't cheap and the dining chairs were all brand new this summer, we specifically replaced the old ones with an upgraded version and spent time choosing decently made ones so are unsure as to how you found them rickety but again will check. We have asked the booking agency to include in the description that there is a flight of steps down to the swimming pool, although guests do have to go upstairs to access the bedrooms also so one would hope that if someone could manage one, they could manage the other. There is an adjacent loo next to the swimming pool but yes, no shower, the house has 5 showers and a separate bathroom in it so we are not inclined to add another shower to the swimming pool area at this time. We hope your next stay, wherever it may be, fully lives up to your expectations. Property Owner

The property

This exquisite holiday home, tucked away in the village of Osmington (less than a mile from the sea) and backing onto countryside, ticks all the boxes for a perfect memorable family holiday. From the moment you walk into this modern spacious property you will be wowed with its features and sense of space. Entertain under the vaulted ceiling in the huge open space, cook in the granite worktop laden kitchen, relax in front of the fire and finish off with a dip in the pool. Upstairs, you will find four bedrooms, all of which have TVs and en-suites, flat screens and plenty of room to relax. Explore Baytree Lodge to find its own separate building which houses a games room complete with a pool table, table football and arcade games machine.

Above the games room is a king size bedroom.

The sense of space continues outside into the garden. The grounds offer privacy, a lovely open country outlook and can be completely enclosed offering security and peace of mind with little ones. Outside you will find an in-built brick BBQ and a play area for the children for the days when the adults just want to sit back and relax.

Miles of footpaths leave straight from the property. The stunningly rustic Ringstead beach is only a five minute drive away and Weymouth, famous for its long golden sands is only a little further. The Dorset Coastal path can be picked up at nearby Osmington Mills where the Smugglers pub offers a welcome break after a bracing walk. Whatever you are looking for out of a holiday, Baytree Lodge is sure to have everything you could ever want and if you do decide to go out for the day the location an ideal starting point to visit all the local beauty spots and attractions.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

About the location

OSMINGTON

Osmington village, sits on the Jurassic coastline of Dorset, just 6 miles from Weymouth with it’s infamous beach and historic harbour and just 11 miles from Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Home to the famous Chalk hillside carving of George III on horseback, cut into the hillside to commemorate the Royal visits to Weymouth, this landmark can be seen from miles away. It is also the place that John Constable spent his honeymoon in 1816 and where he completed his painting of Weymouth Bay that now hangs in the National Gallery. The South West Coastal path runs through Osmington Mills, a tiny hamlet on the edge of Osmington. Here many walkers start their coast path walks at the Smugglers inn, where reputedly there are historic connections to smuggling. Be sure to visit to find out all the stories. A short drive will see you reach a local convenience store at Preston. Weymouth offers a larger variety of shopping, eating and entertainment choices.
