Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Relax, unwind & connect with nature in a hand crafted Pod in the heart of the wild Purbeck countryside near the Jurassic coastline. Get the benefits from the outdoor sauna & cold shower available for use. With access to the Corfe Hills, this is the perfect spot for anyone who wants a bit of tranquillity & incredible walking routes nearby. Immerse yourself with peace and quiet of a woodland overlooking beautiful fields with local wildlife as your neighbours.

Note, this is an adults only retreat

The space
The Pod is located in a secluded woodland deep within the Purbeck Valley between Corfe Castle & Swanage. This private woodland is located at the bottom of our house plot and the area is dedicated to exclusive couple retreats.

The pod itself is Scandinavian inspired and built to a very high standard. It features a beautiful decking overlooking a large field & the Corfe hills with plenty of wildlife to view. There is a lovely herd of deer which often graze in this field & may pay you a visit.

Inside the pod is a well equipped kitchenette, dining table & double bed for ultimate comfort. The kitchenette includes a double ring electric hob with saucepan & frying pan, mini fridge, kettle, cafetiere and toaster, perfect for basic cooking. A BBQ is provided, just bring coals to cook outside enjoying the views.

Outdoor seating, a firepit & the first basket of logs are provided for those cosy nights in.

A private bathroom is situated in a separate shepherd's hut 10metres away and will be yours throughout your stay with private keys. The bathroom is very modern and features a power shower & is heated throughout the colder months.

Well behaved dogs are welcome, just bring their beds, towels & bowls. Please note we do have our own animals on site so depending on their temperament they might need to stay on a lead in the outdoor space.

Guest access
1 allocated parking space is available at the entrance of the property with a short walk down to the woodland

Other things to note
Bed linens & bath towels are provided.
Tea, coffee & biscuits are provided.

Other things to note:
Please note there are other accommodations on site which, similar to this one, are also adults only. All have private decking areas for optimum privacy and are not overlooked.

The accommodations are cleaned thoroughly between each stay, but being based in a woodland if windows & doors are left open, please don't be surprised if the occasional insect appears.

Being based in the Purbeck Valley, occasionally emergency vehicles & loud motorcycles can be heard.

We do live on site & our bungalow is situated at the top end of the land (by the road) with the accommodations at the far end of the land (near the woodland). Any problems, we're on hand to help, text call or knock on the door.

I'm obsessed with: Snowboarding
Hi, I'm Nathan, a stonemason & local Purbeckian from Swanage currently living in Poole with my wife Steph . I've grown up loving the outdoors and I'm a lover of extreme sports. My family still live in Purbeck and we're creating all these amazing retreats on our private land spread across Swanage & Harmans Cross, where we grew up. We have been hosting since 2018 and loved it so much that we'll be continuing to expand so watch this space!
