Lovely a accommodation, everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful surroundings, if you like being outside this is the place! Plenty for children to do, roller skating, skiing, snow boarding, crazy golf, two parks and you can hire bikes. The restaurant is ok, I wouldn't say the food was great value for money. The entertainment is good and brilliant for keeping children entertained! The staff are all very friendly and happy to help. We will definitely come back.
Beautiful location, Stayed in a stunning lodge with a hot tub overlooking one of the lakes, which was heaven. Main buildings are all decorated for Christmas, lots of activities for all ages, we really enjoyed painting pots and the ski centre. Great place to stay.
This was our second visit to Warmwell and the site is lovely. Our lodge was clean when we arrived. Overall, another great experience however staff were not as polite or interested to be there as they were last year. Only major gripe is the food served in the Boathouse is no where near as nice as you would expect for the price you pay but with Dorchester & Weymouth down the road it isn’t a major problem. Will be coming back next year. Hopefully some of these issues will be looked at and I can up to 5 stars, thankyou.
Lovely site, set within trees and with fishing lakes to walk around. Very peaceful and relaxing. Had an issue with our cooker, maintenance came to check very quickly and a new one fitted the next day. Excellent service from the team. Site well managed and everything clean and tidy. A nice relaxing break.
The park and facilities were excellent just a shame about lodge bedroom carpet had two massive stains on it , the mattress was about 10 inches shorter than bed base feet hung over the end off it , shower screen seal was no good more water went on floor and generally lodge wasn't very clean. Such a shame as a lovely holiday park let down by the accommodation !
Very nice place. Very helpful and friendly staff. Enjoyable facilities, with swimming, softplay, arcade and play area. Plus more that we didn't try. Didn't have much food onsite but what we did have was tasty. Great location for weymouth at the beach
This was our first trip to a holiday park and it was really good. Quiet location. Lose to Weymouth. Stayed in a Blandford lodge which was very spacious. Lots of activities for kids, most were unavailable due to restrictions but still enough to keep you occupied for a few days. Plenty of space inside the park for walks and bicycle rides. Friendly and helpful staff were available at all times.
The lodge was immaculate, site was quiet and clean. The food at the Boathouse was good value for money. There were lots of activities but we just used it as a base. The site is about 20 minutes outside of Weymouth town.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
