    "We have just been back to Lakeside for the second time! We so enjoyed our stay the first time, we wanted to come back and experience it again
    and stay longer!

    Such a beautiful setting and so peaceful and quiet. Jamie and Jo are lovely hosts and they really made us feel at home...."

    "Spent two nights in one of the lovely, warm shepherds huts. The area is absolutely stunning and great for anyone interested in nature and bird life. Our hosts Jamie and Jo were incredibly friendly, providing an outdoor fire pit and food to give to Jeff, the resident duck!"

    "We had a wonderful stay. The shepherd's hut was set in spectacular surroundings and had been fitted out with close attention to detail. It had everything we needed, was extremely clean, and the hosts were friendly and accommodating. We'd love to return soon!"

    "Had a lovely weekend stay here. A lovely, peaceful location and really
    helpful hosts. We had a lovely time exploring walks in the area, making
    use of kayaks on the lake and enjoying her amenities of nearby Wareham. Would recommend."

    "Wonderful place, beautiful situation looking out at the lovely lake, enjoyed the walk around it despite having not the best weather. The hut is perfectly kitted out with everything you need, a pristine and cosy space (looks as if recently done it’s so clean!) I can’t believe the level of comfort and space - it’s like a tardis. Hosts very lovely and easy instructions to get there... Quite perfect!"

    "2nd time staying in Jamie’s shepard huts….and won’t be our last. Beautiful area, so quiet and secluded. Hut had everything we needed and we were made to feel very welcome. Great communication and nothing is too much trouble. 5 stars isn’t enough…"
