About this property
4 bedroom stunning rural position near Jurassic coast !
The Shooting Lodge offers the most wonderful, relaxed accommodation and in conjunction with dry fly fishing on the River Frome its position as a holiday location is unrivalled.
Sitting high on the Dorset downs, set in a small coppice containing wild fruits and flowers, commanding spectacular views south towards the coast - this was the setting used by Thomas Hardy in his 'The Three Strangers'.
One mile from the nearest main road makes it remote and rural, but only two hours from London makes it easily accessible.
Bed linen and hand towels are all provided (but please bring your own large beach towels), as well as tea-towels and essential cleaning materials. A small supply of logs are provided, and additional logs can be purchased on request.
The lodge can be let on either a weekly basis, or at certain times of the year from a part week basis (either Friday to Monday or Monday to Friday). Changeover for weekly lets are on a Friday unless otherwise stated.

About the host
Hosted by Oliver Pope
The Lodge is owned by the Wrackleford Estate which has been in the hands of the Pope family for over 150 years. It is currently run by Oliver and Katie Pope for the last 15 years and they live on the Estate with their two sons and a daughter.
Why they chose this property
The Lodge is truly an individual property - it is based on an original property dating to around 1880, however was significantly extended in 1990 to create the building that is there today. It has many interested quirks that give it character from its past but has all the modern facilities that you would expect today.
