Summary: Stunning is an understatement. Waking up in that beautiful place to that beautiful view was amazing, i am sure its even better in the summer. Clean, modern, spacious and beautiful. The hot tub was beautiful but does take 3-4 hours to heat up which is rather annoying if you have been out all day, but thats exactly what a wood burning hot tub is. We will be returning next year ! Thank you

Summary: My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Melcombe farm. The location is in a quiet area of the farm close to the Wessex Ridgeway. Facilities were first class. Every detail had been well thought out and planned. The wildlife with owls stags hares coming close to the accommodation was a nice treat. The local pub in Ansty was very welcoming for food and drink. We will be back.

Summary: A wonderful property in an idyllic setting, very peaceful, no traffic noise and very little light pollution, just right for star gazing. The hot tub we lovely, but takes some time to heat up, so get it going nice and early. The bed was very comfortable and the shower nice and powerful. All the equipment was of an excellent quality, the sofas were lovely but needed plenty of cushions behind you as they were very deep. Our only suggestion would be the addition of an EV charger, as it’s an eco retreat, we’d have been very happy to pay for the electric it used and it would have been much more convenient as the accommodation is quite a distance from the nearest chargers. If you are looking for somewhere with peace and quite this is a really great option.

Summary: Overall we don't have enough good things to say about Bramble! When we arrived the house looked lovely - modern but in keeping with the surroundings. The silence when we got out of the car really struck us - as suburb dwellers we never get quiet quite like this. Apart from the birds and cows - but those are the sounds you love to hear! The house itself was spotless when we got in - it looked practically brand new. We had everything we needed, including a well stocked kitchen and a lovely welcome hamper. The wifi worked well (important to us), the TV had all the streaming services, the bed was incredibly comfortable and so were the sofas. We didn't get a chance to use the wood burner as the weather was great, but we did use the hot tub on 4 nights. We were prepared for this not being like a 'normal' hot tub as it took some time to heat, but that's the only 'warning' I'd give - you'll need a few hours for it to heat the first time. But this was no problem for us and we loved sitting in it and enjoying the incredible view. Overall we highly highly recommend Bramble as a base for your Dorset stay. Particular highlights for us were a lovely lunch at The New Inn in Cerne Abbas and a great dinner at the Thimble Inn in Piddlehinton. (We like our food!) Thank you for a really wonderful stay.

Summary: We love it here! The views alone are to die for but Bramble is beautiful too - really well equipped, super comfortable beds, dreamy bathrooms and the welcome hamper was delicious. Bramble is far more than just a base for us on holiday. We didn't leave for the first 2 days! We love spending time in the garden and playing with our children in the sun. We will definitely be back

Summary: The stay we had at Bramble was perfect! It is designed and furnished to a really high standard. We had the dreamiest pre-Christmas break reading by the log burning fire in the day and star-gazing in the hot tub at night. The local area has a lovely pub called The Fox Inn which does great food. The local farm shops helps you stock up on any extra supplies you need and the hamper you get when you arrive, including local produce is so lovely. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Summary: What a super cabin in a super location. Everything was beautifully clean and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return.

Summary: Bramble Eco Lodge provided a real escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The peace and quiet, the spectacular views and the superb quality of fixtures and fittings made for the perfect holiday retreat. Thoughtful features such as the generous welcome hamper and the hot tub only added to the pleasure of our stay. I cannot recommend Bramble too highly!

Summary: Beautiful views, lovely cottage, photos do not do justice to the place. Met both the owners who were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately because of the weather we could not take advantage of the hot tub. I have recommended this place to my friends and we will visit again.
