The property has a private raised garden terrace with teak dining furniture and during the Summer months a charcoal barbecue is provided for guests.
Additional Information Please note that this property is built on a hill side and therefore there are slight floor changes between the main hall and kitchen, dining and sitting room, first two bedrooms and first floor. Two well behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge). Highchair available on request. From the end of October to Easter, the garden furniture will be removed from the property due to the severity of the weather in Abbotsbury.

Our Favourite Holiday Hideaway
Clayhanger Lodge is a well equipped hideaway set in a quiet location with stunning views. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable. with ample parking and within easy reach of beaches and good pubs and restaurants. We love it ,this has been our third visit and we have booked for next year.. The only draw back being there are no walk-in showers

Fantastic location
The property is situated in a lovely location with great views and so peaceful. Overall we were very happy, however there were a few things that could be improved, eg instructions on how to control the heating in the bedrooms, the provision of some toiletries and some basic kitchen equipment, eg oven gloves, tea towels, etc. These issues were quite minor in the great scheme of things, but their absence proved an inconvenience.

Stunning Location
A wonderful location with stunning views and sunsets. Great base from which to explore Dorset. Lovely seating areas outside with easy access to public footpaths. The kids loved the garden - lots of space for games. Spacious interior and perfectly set up, however....
I was dismayed to read so many reviews that mentioned the poor state of the sofas as far back as 2018 - the problem is still there and really does need sorting when paying in excess of £2000 for a week. The lounge rug was also in desperate need of a clean.
We would love to go back, a wonderful holiday and perfect location - shame about the lounge area.
