About Merley Woodland Park

Just a mile from the historic market town of Wimborne in glorious Dorset with its spectacular coastline and delightful resorts, Merley Woodland Lodges sit within ten acres of parkland and woodland. Bournemouth, Poole and the New Forest are all within easy reach and there are some superb facilities including an outdoor heated pool and tennis courts.

Merley Woodland Lodges has table tennis, pool tables, a bar and family room and a children’s playground. The more adventurous can try their hand at kitesurfing lessons in Bournemouth, and if you enjoy fresh, locally sourced food and excellent fish dishes, Da Vinci’s Warehouse Brasserie in Poole is well worth a visit with its stunning views over the harbour.

We can heartily recommend the Canford Premier Lodge. It sleeps up to four people in two spacious double bedrooms and patio doors lead out onto a large verandah with a private outdoor hot tub. It is stylish and luxurious, fully equipped with a flat screen TV and DVD with Freeview and adult bikes are included so that you can cycle right from your doorstep.

Dorset has more than its share of history and heritage - Brownsea Island sits in Poole Harbour and is home to one of Henry VIII’s coastal castles. Highcliffe Castle in Christchurch is also worth a visit with its medieval stonework and stained glass windows. Merley Woodland Lodges is just a few miles away from Eype’s Mouth, a gravel and sand beach overlooked by impressive cliffs with wonderful views. Poole and Bournemouth also have some lovely beaches with beautifully clean water.

Christine - May 2022
"Nice and easy check in. The lodge was in great shape, nice and clean, all the cutlery and utensils were clean and useful. One exception was the knifes needed sharpening. We recieved a lovely welcome pack of cereala, milk, butter, tea and coffee. The hottub was nice and clean too. The location was perfect for us, it was nice and quiet, a tesco down the road and in perfect location. I would highly recommend this place for a break. I would probably say adults only as there isnt much for choldren but we visited the Oakdene site which had alot for children today"
Beverley - May 2022
"We had a fantastic November break. We knew that the onsite facilities would be limited due to the time of year and that was fine. The Lodge was clean, warm and very welcoming.

Verified Guest - Dec 2017
"Would definitely come back."
Angela - Dec 2017
"The lodge was really lovely, so spacious and fully equipped with everything we needed. However just a couple of small points; the bathroom smelt of paint which I assume it was because of the problem of water flooding out of the bath when having a shower! It looked like the wood below the basin cupboard regularly gets wet. Another thing was there was nowhere to hang coats so they ended up being hung over the dining chairs. And one last thing was that the airer was a bit of a Krypton Factor puzzle that six us of weren't able to solve!! And with a lot of wet towels around we needed a decent airer! But on the whole we really loved the lodge and would definitely return!"
Claire - Nov 2017
"Loved it. Will definitely return."
Nicole - Oct 2017
"Lovely lodge. The third bedroom is only suitable for children really, as the beds are small singles."
Melanie - Oct 2017
"I had a really lovely girls weekend away x"

Monkey World is not only a local attraction but the work they carry out is amazing.  Rescuing and rehabilitating monkeys and assisting governments around the world to stop the smuggling of primates are just some of the purposes of the centre.
