Some dogs

Wareham Forest Lodge Retreat is a Darwin Escapes holiday park on Organford Road, between Poole and Wareham. It is a self-catering park rather than a campsite: you rent a lodge (some with private hot tubs and decking) and there are no tent or touring pitches.

Lodges have open-plan living space, a fridge freezer and towels provided. Dogs are welcome in specific pet-friendly units only, so say so when booking. Hook-and-cook barbecues can be hired from reception and clipped to the decking rail, and there are electric car charging points on the park. Holton Heath station is a five-minute drive, and Lulworth, Swanage and the Blue Pool are all within easy reach.
