Guests say
Quince 10 is a well-regarded lodge praised for its homely feel, modern amenities, and prime location. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and the convenience of nearby facilities, including a supermarket and seaside. While there are some minor cleanliness issues and a notable disturbance from a nearby event, the overall experience is positive, with many guests recommending the property for a family break.
The lodge generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it to be tidy and well-kept. However, some guests noted areas for improvement, such as a need for better fridge maintenance and more thorough cleaning in certain spots, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the seaside, large supermarkets, and attractions like Bournemouth, Poole, and the New Forest. The only drawback mentioned was an annual event that caused noise disturbance, but this seems to be an isolated incident.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with cosy heating for chillier evenings and comfortable beds. The living room furniture is also commended for its comfort, contributing to a pleasant stay.
The lodge is well-equipped with modern facilities, including a swimming pool and evening entertainment. Some guests mentioned minor maintenance issues like a cracked toilet seat and fridge shelf, but these did not significantly detract from the overall experience.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Susan
Good situation for visiting Bournemouth, Poole, Lymington, New Forest etc., A few disappointing things on initial arrival were the fridge needing cleaning, there was food left in cupboards from previous guests, worktops and handles felt sticky, the shower wasnât particularly clean in the corners and the toilet seat in the en-suite was cracked. The entrance mat was quite marked from previous clients dirty shoe marks, and the cupboards all very untidy and haphazard. The fridge door is difficult to close and the door shelf cracked. None of these spoilt our holiday, but I wouldnât say it was luxurious. It may be our downfall that weâre particular and like things spotlessâ¦â¦..after wiping out the fridge and washing kitchen tops/handles, and wiping down odd marks on doors, we went on to accept the other discrepancies and had a most enjoyable week in the lodge. The lounge furniture was comfortable and kitchen utensils plentiful. The beds were comfortable. We had a few chillier evenings and it was lovely and cosy with the heating on. Such a shame that a few very minor issues let our expectations downâ¦â¦with a little bit more effort with the cleaning we could have been much more complementary.

30pm and should have been notified regarding this established event so we could have made an informed decision. Would not have booked as we are in our senior years with a mother heading into her 90s seeking piece and quiet. Text reply from owner had very little sympathy and denial of any responsibility even though it was common knowledge by anyone who owned a property on the site that we spoke to. Don't book between the 20th- 22nd June to avoid disappointment and poor value for what was premium cost for 3 days. Absolute nightmare!!!

Quince 10 is immaculately clean and has everything you need in the lodge and is probably the best one there. Wendy was very helpful with communicating.
