Buck's Coppice

We had an amazing time at Bucks Coppice. It was a perfect break away from it all after a busy few months for us. We loved it!

This was an ideal ‘getaway’ break. Totally off grid. (Even though there is WIFI we chose not to use it) We spent our time relaxing and played gin rummy each evening. The cabin is well equipped and very comfortable and despite very hard frosts and even snow one morning, the wood burner was more than up to the task of keeping us warm.

A fantastic stay in a beautiful lodge that was clearly well thought out and had a relaxing time in mind. Off grid and out of the way, perfect for peace and quiet with plenty of wildlife to watch right outside your window. Sid was accommodating and helpful throughout our stay and the local area was fantastic to explore with plenty to see and do. Perfect spot for hiding away and never leaving your lodge or getting out and exploring, or, like us, a little bit of both.

We throughly enjoyed our time at Buck’s Coppice. The directions were clear and easy to follow and we found the property with no issues. The property itself was clean and with a well-stocked kitchen. The location is beautiful and we enjoyed walking around the lake and nearby footpaths. The shower was amazing as well, with hot water constantly. We found the signal was still really good throughout the cabin and the satellite Wi-Fi box was a nice added touch. We loved our stay and we will definitely be back in the future.

It's a beautiful peaceful relaxing place,the log fire was amazing,loved every minute of it

We had a wonderful weekend at Bucks Coppice. The cabin has everything you need for a quiet time away. Really comfy bed, great deck and lots of good info from Sid. And if course the pond... just perfect for dips morning and evening. A perfect break, thank you

Absolute beauty of a place to stay. Such a well built cabin with a stunning surroundings. The pond was great to swim in, peaceful and very relaxing

Secluded and beautiful, as a wildswimmer the beautiful pond was a huge attraction and didn't dissapoint. Beautifully designed and equipped cabin, location quiet and peaceful but lots to do and see if you should want to leave this wonderful spot.

Heaven on earth. Beautiful setting with freshwater lake. The only sound was the abundance of birds. Completely secluded and the cabin was lovely and had everything you needed.

We booked a year in advance and it was well worth the wait. Bucks Coppice is an amazing property in an equally amazing setting. Being off grid enabled us to switch off from daily life and immerse ourselves in nature and appreciate the simpler things in life. The quality of the cabin and the interior and how it blended in with the surroundings really showed the consideration of the owners. We felt so relaxed and at home there, so much so we booked another visit next year on the morning we got home!

Lovely break and a supurb location!

The stay was wonderful and Sid was an excellent host. The location itself is idyllic and we couldn't have asked for more for a week of escapism. The cabin is stunning for the most part and you wouldn't even know that you were off-grid. The excellent weather probably helped with this as there was sun galore for the solar panels. A wonderful place for a solo break for some peace or for a romantic getaway to spend quality time together.

What a wonderful, nature rich, quiet environment is the location for Buck's Coppice, a bird lovers paradise. The bird feeders were in constant demand bringing birds in so close enabling detailed viewing at close quarters. Our short stay was rewarded with a variety of different birds and animals. An ideal place to chill out and relax. A real panacea from the usual day to day urban living. All the facilities were excellent and worked so well. Amazing woodland views during meals and coffee breaks through the floor to ceiling glass doors and on the decking. A real privilege to stay in this unique retreat. Thank you.

The cabin is amazing - perfect open plan for a romantic couple's getaway, with everything you could need (including absence of TV!). But the location is the real star - you feel completely secluded in your own little glade, with just the wildlife for company.

Had the most incredible stay here on a bright but freezing weekend in January. The cabin is stylish and cosy with everything you need, but the setting is the thing that makes it. Every morning we cracked the thick ice of the lake to swim in it, then sat inside by the fire watching the birds for hours, and at night we sat on the deck looking at the stars. The surrounding woodland makes you feel totally alone, but the location is perfect for getting to nearby towns and the coast. The host had great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit, and was very accommodating when we asked to leave a bit later than planned. Would love to come back and would recommend to anyone.

Truly a wonderful place to stay, every amenity you could require has been thought through and provided. Spacious & very secluded. A lovely decking area for better weather. The bed is extremely comfortable. The kitchen is more than ample. The owner (Sid) was incredibly efficient when we requested information on a couple of points. The road to this spot does need concentration and ensure you follow the instructions to the letter and you shouldn't have a problem. This is an ideal spot for complete relaxation with all the comforts of home. Very Highly recommended.

We had a very peaceful and idyllic getaway at Bucks Coppice. The cabin was well stocked despite its minimalist appearance, the shower worked well and the lake and wildlife was stunning, especially the resident kingfisher.

We had an amazing stay at Buck’s Coppice. The cabin is perfect for a very relaxing and chilled out stay. The lake is great to swim in and just to relax by. Highly recommend.

A beautiful well built secluded cabin, with all the comforts needed, set in a lovely location. Sid recommended loads of great places to eat, many with stunning sea views and coastal walks, as well as great food. Each day started with watching nature from the terrace, sat in the sun or a nice swim if too warm. A truly relaxing break.

Bucks Coppice is a really beautiful, modern-style cabin on the side of a pond. It is very remote and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay immensely, despite the weather having changed for the worse. We hunkered down with the log burner on when it rained, and swam & lazed on the deck when the sun came out. We watched the birds on the feeders, and got lost on a walk in the surrounding area. The cabin had everything we needed, including the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in for ages. All in all a delightful weekend.

The cabin is beautiful, set by a stunning lake in remote surroundings. Very peaceful and relaxing

A blissful few days 'off-grid' at Bucks Coppice, going to bed and waking to the sounds of nature proved very restorative. A very special place put together beautifully.

Bucks Coppice was a dreamy retreat for us, away from fast-paced usual life. A first trip away together, it did not disappoint.

wonderful setting and beautiful cabin - a perfect place to chill and relax

A perfect holiday. We loved the location - nice and secluded but really easy to get to the town and beach. The cabin is so stylish and has everything you could need. The bed is so comfortable and I had the best sleep in years. Great directions on how to get there plus a folder full of information about the local area which was super helpful. Buck's Coppice is really magical and we loved rowing around the lake and felt nourished by all the natural beauty. I wish I could live in a cabin in the woods forever. It is perfect and we will definitely come back to visit again!

The property looked divine when I first saw it nearly two years ago. Finally we managed to book and it was just as great as the pictures. Fab location, very quiet yet close enough to be able to visit lovely local places. Amazing walks around the area too, what's not to love?

We'd been on holiday once since the 2020 lockdown, and we really wanted somewhere quiet and friendly where we could just not be at home for a weekend. Buck's Coppice ticked every one of our must-have boxes - extremely pleasant walks (all the way to the Three Horseshoes at Powerstock via the common and along the Jubilee Trail to Mapperton Gardens), really good food (every place was on the recommendations and they were all fantastic), a very comfy cabin (best bed of a C&S stay so far), and an army of small birds on the feeders on the decking keeping us entertained. Sid has done a grand job with the cabin, and it was the perfect place for us to get back into the swing of being away again.

All went well, we liked the location and the wildlife

It was a perfect getaway. The cabin has been designed beautifully and feels luxurious, and then you really are at the edge of your own private lake that gets visited all day long by small birds, a wood pecker and wild ducks to name a few. There is a hammock, a small boat and garden furniture to use around the lake. Sid, the host, has designed the place so you can check in and out without seeing anyone, adding to the feeling of it being a retreat. We loved it, and we hope to go back again one day!

So peaceful and relaxing. Great location for walking.

We booked this place for our third wedding anniversary and then had to delay because of covid so ended up waiting a year and celebrating our fourth! Couldn't have hoped for a more idyllic place. Loved watching the birds out of the window in the morning and brought our own paddleboard to float around the lake. Lots of easy walks nearby and easy-to-reach beaches, but could have just as happily sat inside in front of the fire !

The Scandinavian styled cabin was a well presented, well equipped & comfortable place to stay, in a secluded & peaceful environment. There was plenty of logs to maintain the wood burner which was easy to manage. The bird feeders outside the cabin provided entertainment as there were varieties of Tits, Nuthatch & daring squirrels to watch. We did go for a brief (very brief!) dip just to say we had (bravado between us) which was surprisingly invigorating & gave a good buzz for a while after. We were lucky enough to have a couple of clear nights of star gazing, with shooting stars & satellites! We both agreed to just 'veg out' & take in the days only at the cabin, welcoming the starts & ends to the few days there. We never felt cold, as the cabin holds on to alot of the generated heat from the log burner overnight & if there was an essence of chill through the night, there were plenty of layers on the comfortable bed to use as necessary. We both truly & thoroughly loved this break away. Sid has created a stunning piece of art, within a beautiful 3D canvas. Attention to detail is impressive. Thank you for all involved in providing this break! PS I never write this much in a review!!!

What an amazing break. We loved the secluded location and the fact that we were in the depths of nature. The property was beautiful. It suited the surroundings perfectly. It was modern but cosy and was perfect for our family of 4. The lake was fantastic to look over and providing binoculars was a special touch. We thought it was paradise. The only criticism and this is very small is that the sofa bed is quite bumpy and hard so was a bit uncomfortable. We loved the shower! Just gorgeous and one day we hope to return.

It’s location, tranquillity, proximity to the sea, complete escape. The accommodation looked high quality

The cabin was fabulous and we had an amazing and special time there celebrating a birthday it was blissful not having an Wi-Fi to be able to unwind properly I would recommend it to anyone

Perfect hideaway in nature. Four nights over a long weekend was more than enough time to unwind properly with what this has to offer. Daily walks around the perfect deepest Dorset countryside, as far as you like, breathtaking magnificent views and short woody strolls both available from the front door. Really classy, well-equipped comfort in a secret little corner of original Dorset.

We liked the look of the cabin and the facilities it offered. We thought the location was perfect for exploring the area with access to countryside and the sea.

It was fabulous

Bucks coppice lived up to and beyond expectations. The kitchen was so well-equipped and the place seemed much roomier than the photos indicated. The peace and solitude did wonders for our London-frazzled minds.

A truly unique, beautiful cabin nestled away from everything. Absolute peace and tranquillity with wonderful swimming in the private lake. The perfect holiday to relax, unwind and forget about the hustle and bustle of daily life..

We had a very relaxing stay at Bucks coppice . Wonderful cabin with excellent facilities . Loved the shower . The peace and quiet was great with just the birdsong to keep us company . Thoroughly recommend and would love to return .

We had a very special time. Bucks Coppice certainly has the wow factor. I’d never swum in a lake before and what an amazing experience - swimming with the dragonflies and damsel flies. We spent hours just watching the little birds and the woodpeckers. Lovely to see them so close. It was fun to take the boat out too. The cabin itself was very spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. It was amazing how everything worked so well on just solar power. The woodburner was especially nice after braving the lake on a wet day. We created wonderful memories at Bucks Coppice which will last a lifetime.

We stayed here for 3 nights over the bank holiday weekend. It was really lovely and surpassed our expectations. The property is very comfortable and stylishly designed. The lake and surroundings are beautiful. We had a relaxing and fun time.

The place is truly stunning. I dont think ive seen a more beautiful setting, its quite unique. The cabin is lovely, really modern and has everything you need, a lovely bed a great shower and a woodburner for colder nights. The weather was not great, we stayed for 3 nights and it rained for 2 of those which was disappointing of course but when the sun came out it came into its own. A really great experience and would highly recommend Bucks Coppice for a relaxing break. I would definitely return. I contacted the owner Sid on a number of occasions and nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely return.

Despite the variable weather, it was a brilliant retreat after 20 months of stressful living without any breaks! It's beautifully designed - an inspiring off grid cabin that's so comfortable it doesn't feel off grid at all. The lake was lovely, and I managed aswim - for seconds, it was so cold - but worth it! The most amazing thing was the symphonic bird song that never stopped. It was incredible.

Peaceful, beautiful, secluded setting. Delightul cabin. Waking and falling asleep to bird song. We thoroughly enjoyed our lovely family mini-break there

We had a wonderful stay, very relaxing and peaceful. We enjoyed watching all the wildlife from the comfort of the sofa inside, seeing all the stars appear in the evening and even managed a dip in the lake. What a glorious place to be based for a few days, with walking through the forest on the doorstep to visiting the local towns and the coast we managed a lot in 3/4 days.

The most awesome stay ever! The cabin is a very well equipped cosy gem in the middle of the woods,with its own lake.the surrounding is just breath taking! Many birds to see around,and it's a only a short drive from the seaside. We just can't wait to book it again!

During our 3 night stay we spent more time than is healthy sitting on the deck reading and watching and listening to the birds. Saw the tawny owl in the nest box on the other side of the pond every morning and evening which was a real treat. Lots of woodpeckers, jays, nuthatch and coal, great and blue tits. Had an amble in Hooke Park woods just over the road. Spring is such a great time to be in the woods because of the flowers. We also had a lovely walk along the Jubilee Trail to Kingscombe Nature Reserve. Had a quick dip in the pond on the first day but, being April, it was a bit chilly but it had to be done! We took all our food with us so didn’t need to use the car when we were there.There was a nice big fridge and the cooking facilities were good.

We very much enjoyed relaxing by the waterside, watching spring unfold in a very quiet and peaceful area. Two dinners at The Fox Inn at Corscombe were a delight.

We had a lovely 4 nights at Bucks Coppice. It's a very well set up place and all the instructions we were provided made the self check in easy. The location is within easy driving distance of a number of Dorset coastal towns which we visited. Dealing with a 14 week year old baby and a log furnace in the winter is a slight challenge especially to start with but don't let that put anyone in a similar position off. The hot water in the shower kicked in quickly and worked well.

We booked Buck's Coppice for our honeymoon and had a wonderful four nights there. Arriving felt like entering a fairytale - the cabin in the woods, the sparkling lake - it was perfect. We loved how quiet and secluded the spot was, it was perfect for a few days of truly getting away from it all. We spent most of the time at the cabin because it was so lovely. I swam every day in the lake and then warmed up by the woodburner. The place was beautifully decorated, comfortable and had everything we needed. The host had left helpful information and recommendations. It was the perfect honeymoon.

What an incredible stay at Sid's Buck's Coppice. It is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in in our lives. The natural settings are stunning and incredibly peaceful, and the thought and patience that has gone into the house itself is incredible. Every detail has been thought out to make this a completely self-sustained place to stay. It is super cosy and we loved sitting out on deck, cosying by the fire, rowing and swimming in the lake. What a wonderful break. Sid was super helpful and we will definitely be going back when we get the opportunity. Tonnes to do down in Dorset and lots of things nearby. Cannot recommend enough. Edwin and Lulu

We had a wonderful week at Bucks Coppice which exceeded all expectations. The setting is truly magical and to see the array of wildlife from the comfort of the deck knowing if it rained( it didn’t) we could move indoors and watch from the huge windows was a real treat. The interior of the lodge is kitted out to a very high specification with everything well planned and thought out. If you can tear yourself away there is a lot to do within a short distance: coast and countryside walks, pretty villages with good pubs, stunning gardens and National Trust. But for us the highlight was undoubtedly Bucks Coppice. Thank you Sid for giving us a memorable week ps wonderful night skies to be seen as no light pollution

Amazing week at Buck’s Coppice. Completely secluded & private haven but with quick access to shops / restaurants. Beautiful inside & out. Our favourite ‘staycation’ so far. Will definitely be going back.

What a truly incredible stay! The gorgeous photos on the site didnt even do it justice in person. There is no one around and it feels like you have all of nature to yourself. The view of the lake is breath taking, and can be enjoyed from the huge bedroom windows as well as the living space. Even in grey rainy May the cabin was always full of light and never felt gloomy. The little woodburner keeps it surprisingly toasty, to the extent we had to open the doors to let out some heat more than once. The quality of the cabin itself is incredible! I'd hire Sid to come and fit out my own kitchen, and on top of the fantastic appliances we arrived to find the kitchen fully stocked with everything you could think of needing! Last shout out goes to the fabulous shower which beats even most hotels I stayed in! We honestly didnt want to leave, and will definitely be back soon!

We were looking for somewhere relaxing and quiet for a few days away from the turmoil in London. Buck's Coppice certainly provided that, surrounded by unspoilt countryside. Very nicely appointed, comfortable and warm, it was ideal for a winter break. Although too cold to sit on the deck, very pleasant to look out onto the water. Must be magic in the summer...

Excellent. We loved the location, the view and the wood burner. And the really nice hot shower.

This was a stay to celebrate my partner's special birthday (a big number!). I booked it as a surprise for him: he didn't want a party or any fuss and this looked like the perfect place to get away from it all and celebrate quietly just the two of us. It didn't disappoint. It was a magical place to stay and we had to tear ourselves away at the end. We both hope that we'll be back again.

We had a wonderful time! From the moment we arrived to find a lovely fire burning in the log burner, to when we left, we had a super relaxing time!

Spent a lovely few nights at Buck's Coppice. Very peaceful and tranquil. Enjoyed listening to the owls in the evening. Lovely open plan place, but cosy at the same time.

We stayed 3 nights at Buck's Coppice - what a fantastic location, and a lovely luxury off-grid experience.

Accurate directions made a good start to 5 days of glorious sunshine in an idyllic location. The accommodation is spacious for us as a couple with the expanse of decking and v comfortable outdoor settee making an additional room overlooking the lake. The little boat is a bonus though the short rope meant it shot off during launch and someone had to do some unplanned wild swimming to retrieve it! Followed by a hot shower ...excellent spacious modern bathroom. No compost toilet here! Kitchen similar with all facilities except high electricity draw equipment like kettle or dish washer but a kettle on the gas hob worked fine. The environs and weather meant we stayed on the site 3 days exploring the Jubilee trail.overgrown in places, watching variety of birdlife during the day and the stars at night while being slightly spooked by slashing from lake edges - deer, otter or something larger?!! Heard the owl at 2.30 to 3am! For townies the isolation may take a day to get used to but then the beauty of the place takes over. Lots of interesting books and games available and we didn't miss TV or wireless. Mobile reception was strong on the deck.

My husband and I, and our 2 children (9 & 7), had a wonderful week at Bucks Coppice. The cabin is very nicely done, and is set in the most idyllic surroundings. We loved the lake, and the children found the boat really fun. They caught crayfish, and relaxed in the hammock. So peaceful and wonderful. Highly recommend.

Bucks Coppice is a very special place. It is tucked away off its own lane, and once you arrive you feel like you have left the rest of the world behind you. The cabin is built to a high spec, and the interior is very modern and stylish. Although technically off the grid - you almost don’t notice it. The bathroom is better than many hotels, the kitchen is well equipped, the bed is fantastic, and the cabin is warm and cosy at night. Having your own lake which you can row the boat or swim in is really cool, and the surrounding woodland gives a great sense of privacy. We were there in July and saw tons of wildlife; dragonfly’s, crayfish, frogs, blue tits, great tits, moorhens, woodpeckers, wood pigeons, lizards, and even had some racing pigeons visit for a pit stop for a few hours of respite!

Amazing, loved it so much. the most we've stayed in one of the properties, due to the weather and how much we loved the place.

Wonderful, relaxing, just what we wanted

Really lovely spot to get away and unwind. Bucks Coppice is a real suntrap and is perfect for two.

We had a very peaceful and tranquil time here. Beautiful setting on its own lake with nothing but birdsong to listen to. We also saw deer. The accommodation itself is extremely well kitted out - everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and a great sized fridge. The shower head is large and showers were always hot and relaxing. The bed is very comfortable. The log burner efficiently heated the entire 'cabin' but e found that we didn't need a fire each night and the cabin remained warm. The almost perfect place to stay. Only thing we would have changed were to have curtains available at the large main window and the glass front door- can feel a bit vulnerable after dark when you have the lights on!

Fabulous!!! Sid sent us all the information we needed well in advance so finding Bucks Coppice was easy despite it being rather out the way! It was the perfect escape and exactly what we wanted; away from any noise (except the occasional duck!) and surrounded by nature! The cabin itself is stunning and has all the amenities you could want: the bathroom is lovely and the bed so comfy! We stayed with our 10 week old son and it was perfect!

It was great! So lovely and private and secluded. Lovely to be able to hide away from the world for a few days. All the details had been thought about so everything was really comfortable, warm and cozy, despite 4 days of rain!

Our stay at Bucks Coppice was wonderful from start to finish. It is a magical place tucked away in beautiful Dorset. The cabin itself is very high spec, cosy, airy and lovely views across the pond.

Buck’s Coppice is a wonderfully peaceful place, a very nice weekend retreat. Open plan cabin, big glass doors and windows open onto decking looking into private lake. We enjoyed our coffee out there in the mornings. The cabin was v stylish, the log burner def heated the place up nicely and retained the heat overnight.... great rain shower, well stocked kitchen, have already recommended to friends.

Our stay at Buck Coppice was simply amazing! We fell in love with nature, far from the madding crowd.peaceful , tranquil and full of character. The river and boat an icing on the cake. We arrived to a warm cabin and very clean. Everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable was there.

We loved it. Its a lovely cosey place to go

We stayed at Bucks Coppice for a short break after Christmas and new years. The cabin is perfect if you want to relax and escape. The location is hidden away and practically silent besides the blue tits, robins and wrens. We even saw a Kingfisher fly by one day, which was a real treat. The woodburning stove inside makes for a cosy time, but you're also set up with all the amenities you'd need - a modern stylish kitchen and bathroom, with an amazing hot shower. We drove to nearby Seatown for a lovely beach walk and had lunch in The Anchor Inn- recommended by Sid, which was really lovely. There are lots of local walks too, we chose the Jubilee trail, walked for 4 hours and didn't see a soul. Heaven! If you want to switch off, this is the perfect place to go and Sid is a brilliant host, we were given lots of information and the cabin was spotless and very well appointed.

The cabin was beautiful, well laid out with plenty of kitchen utensils. The log burner kept us very warm and heated the whole place well. The location was brilliant, completely hidden away from everyone and everything, but only a ten minute drive to Beaminster for supplies and places to eat. We will definitely be back when the weather is better and we can explore more of the area!

Before arriving, I received perfect info on how to find the place (though Google Maps took us to the coordinates) and how to get into the property. We fell in love as soon as we stepped inside - it's just the most incredible building - just what we wanted! (Every year we go to a different unique-build/cabin for a few days away.) There was a booklet full of info on the cabin and surrounding area. The place was spotlessly clean with everything we needed for our entire stay - towels, clean bedding and a super comfy bed!, tonnes of tea towels and washing-up supplies, accessories like a torch, plenty of pantry supplies etc. - really everything! The house was so comfortable - it's only heated by a wood-burning stove but it's clearly so well built that this is enough. They told us to help ourselves to firewood at no extra expense. The cabin is so liveable - unlike other places we've seen - as it has a fully functioning and equipped kitchen. We absolutely loved the wooden island with the gas hobs - such inspo for our own building dreams! The curtains which can be pulled to separate the bed(room) make it so beautiful and there's no light pollution. Just a truly beautiful labour of love.

Had an incredible time. Place excellently located, well stocked, lovely place for a rainy weekend.

Fantastic location for exploring some of Dorset's countryside - on foot highly recommended! Dorset is a must-see gem of a county and Sid's cabin the perfect place to be based whilst exploring.

We loved everything about this beautiful hidden gem in Dorset. We were contacted prior to our visit by the lovely owner Sid, and his warm and caring emails were the start of things to come. The directions seemed a little confusing before we left, but once we were there they were perfect, every detail correct, helping us to arrive safely. From the minute we opened the gate to our own private hideaway it was love at first sight. The photos provided on the C&S Website were spot on, and the warmth of the fire upon arrival sealed the deal for us. We went in early November, and we were not cold once, whichbhad been a concern of ours. The facilities at Buck's Coppice were spotlessly clean, and of the highest quality, with crisp white M&S Bedlinen and beautiful white towels. The kitchen had everything you would ever need, and I completely fell in love with the kettle on the hob! The peace & quiet, with no distractions of 'screens' made it the most romantic, tranquil and idyllic holiday for us. We will be returning, and we fear that nowhere else will ever live up to this beautiful home, that we feel so honoured to have been allowed to stay in.

My partner and I had the most relaxing couple of days in this cabin, so secluded and with it's own private lake it was a joy to wake up and take in the view. The cabin had all we needed, including a wood burner which kept us lovely and warm on the recent cold evenings.

Wonderfully private, smart and cosy. The boat on the lake was a lovely touch, and the well-equipped kitchen meant we had no cause to leave! Didn't want to go home, and very much hoping to return.

A really well designed, stylish and peaceful base to explore the Dorset coast..... The space is clean, cleverly designed and well stocked with everything you could ever need. The owner was quick to respond to our messages and supplied us with great tips to explore the surrounding area. Sid's place provided a really peaceful and secluded woodland retreat. The patio overlooking the lake was a great place to enjoy the summer nights. We left feeling relaxed and recharged - the perfect getaway from life's hassles, hustles and bustles!

had a great time even though quite unlucky with the weather (days of rain after the summer we have had!)

During a prolonged period of family turmoil, our long-booked C&S break arrived. The timing could not have been better. This is a truly special place. We swam in sun and pooling rainfall, watching a kingfisher hunt. We paddled the boat, drank whisky and read aloud from 'Three Men in a Boat' and cried with laughter. Inside, we cooked simple food (helped by generously shared provisions)and we woke at 3am to wonder under the starriest sky.

We stayed for three nights with our 7 and 5 year old sons. We all loved it, we swam, rowed the boat and caught crayfish in the lake. We ate every meal outside on the deck. It was really hot but no issues with insects. The house and location are both beautiful.

It was brilliant!

We had a magical and amazing stay. Bucks Coppice was just the little piece of seclusion and respite we needed. We didn't see another soul for days! This place is perfectly finished to the highest quality with the bathroom and kitchen and bed worth a particular mention. Communication with Sid was great and we really appreciated the basics in the kitchen. THANKYOU!

We had a lovely stay, the weather was incredibly hot and the accommodation was first class. A beautiful, peaceful location.

We had a very relaxing three days at Buck's Coppice. The cabin is beautifully crafted, comfortable and well-equipped. It is beautifully positioned by a small private lake, perfect for a swim or just to sit by, relaxing on the decking watching the dragon flies.

We had the most wonderful stay at Buck’s Coppice. We went for 3 nights for my birthday and half term treat. It was my husband and I and our two children aged 4 and 6. The location is so beautiful and secluded yet near so many wonderful things to do when we wanted to go off and explore. The cabin itself is very beautiful and stylish. It has a great decking around the front and a lovely comfy sofa to enjoy a coffee and enjoy the scenery. There is a little boat to use which my kids loved and we took our kayak too so we could all be on the water together which was great fun. Inside it is just spectacular and massively exceeded my expectations. The bedroom area was just lovely with super comfy and very new bedding/ linen. The Sofa bed for the kids was much better than previous ones I’ve seen with lovely linen, topper for the mattress. The bathroom was just like a lovely hotel and kitchen area just fantastic. It’s all been designed beautifully and fits so well with its location. I really didn’t want to leave. The only small thing was it was quite bright for the kids as no blinds in sitting room. All in all 10/10. Want to go back tomorrow! Zoe

Loved it! Secluded cabin in woodland, with its own lake. Beautiful. The setting is perfect for a quiet, relaxing break; and still only a short drive from the coast. The cabin is modern, spotless, a bit quirky, and has everything we needed. The large decking area and comfy seating overlooking the beautiful lake was just amazing. Perfect!

The stay was amazing. Bucks coppice is stylish and the owners have created such a tranquil place to stay. The scenery is absolutely stunning and although signal is not great it’s brilliant to just spend that time with a loved one.

Our stay at Bucks Coppice was absolute perfection! It is a complete pocket of tranquility, in the middle of nowhere, amongst beautiful scenery and the “cabin” itself is so comfortable, and well stocked with everything you could want or need!

Wow - Bucks Coppice is the real deal. In the middle of Dorset woodland is your slice of private lakeside bliss. Inside is cool, chic and utterly comfortable. Lying in bed watching the rain bounce off the lake with the fire burning felt pretty magical. So much to explore in this part of the world - amazing beaches, wonderful walks, brilliant pubs - but it's hard to leave this perfect little spot. Can't wait to go back when it's a bit warmer to actually swim in the lake and if really lucky, maybe even get a visit from the otters...
