Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests have provided mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some found the lodge clean with thoughtful touches, others reported issues with cobwebs, dust, and in some cases, unclean kitchen appliances and utensils. The inconsistency in cleanliness standards has impacted the overall impression.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its tranquillity, privacy, and proximity to nature, with easy access to the beach and local village. Guests enjoyed the peaceful setting away from the main site areas, with woodland walks and beautiful views, contributing to a positive experience.
Comfort levels are varied among guests. Positive remarks were made about the lodge's spaciousness and the provision of linen and towels. However, several guests noted that the sofas and beds were uncomfortable and in need of replacement, affecting the overall comfort of their stay.
Facilities and maintenance received mixed reviews. Guests appreciated the well-equipped lodge and the availability of WiFi. However, there were several mentions of maintenance issues such as non-working lights, damaged furniture, and outdated decor. The park's facilities were enjoyed but not always included in the stay.
While some guests mentioned thoughtful touches like the provision of cleaning supplies, tea, coffee, and milk, there is insufficient information to determine if these are consistent offerings or occasional gifts. Therefore, a score cannot be accurately provided, and guests should not expect these items as guaranteed.
About this property
Set on the award-winning Shorefield Country Park, just a short stroll from the peaceful beach of Milford-on-Sea, is this delightful, Norwegian log cabin. Perfect for families, 16 Amber Wood Lodge provides a welcoming base to return to after a day of enjoying the Park’s on-site facilities or exploring the fabulous coastline. Enter into the spacious open-plan living area, comprised of a snug sitting area with electric fire and flat-screen TV, a well-equipped kitchen where you can prepare delicious feasts and a dining table to enjoy them at. The rear of the lodge is where you can find the three bedrooms, including a king-size double with en-suite shower room, and two twins which accommodate well for children. Each of the bedrooms have been well-furnished to provide ample storage for your personal belongings, while there is also a family bathroom to serve the twin rooms. To the outside is a wraparound decking where you can enjoy meals alfresco. On-site you will find a range of facilities to keep the whole family busy; ranging from indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a fully-equipped gym with fitness classes, a children’s play area and a luxurious spa which is perfect for a rainy day. Fishermen will love the well-stocked carp lake which is just a minute's walk away, plus there are many opportunities for sea fishing along the coast. When you tire of all that is on offer at the park, venture out to the nearby New Forest National Park, exploring the idyllic glades, ancient woodland, open moors and cliff top walks, or take the short walk to the beach at Milton-on-Sea, where you can spend an afternoon soaking up the sun or paddling in the sea. For a family day out, consider visiting Peppa Pig World, Marwell Zoo and Monkey World, which are all within close reach of the lodge. A lovely retreat for families, all-year-round.

Jane
And family. The beds are the worst thing about the lodge,they all need new mattresses and bedlinen. The patio.doors need looking at as they are not secure and there are no instructions about the complex or who to contact in an emergency. The lodge has everything you need for a family stay it is large and clean but definitely needs upgrading

The lodge is spacious with a lovely wrap around veranda with a gate so our dogs were safe. The only down side was the tired bedding and towels. These really need updating asap.
