Cranborne Chase Stargazer Reviews

GEMMA HUGHES
26th July 2025
Great little lodge, nicely appointed, nicely designed, well equipped with thoughtful set up! Clean, comfy beds, nice bedding, thick fluffy towels, great shower. Lovely hospitality tray, decent supplies. The hot tub was good, nice outdoor seating area, great for sitting looking at the dark skies! Gutted we only found the telescope as we were packing to come home! Great location as away from it all but with good proximity to lots of attractions, areas to visit. Good communication with hosts, popped in to check on us when we arrived, promptly returned security deposit. Would definitely stay again!
