Tucked away in an idyllic woodland haven in the heart of the Dorset countryside is the romantic couples retreat of your dreams. If you and your partner are looking for the ideal getaway – to take some time together, just for two – then our luxury forest lodges are just a stone’s throw away from some of the best views, food, drink and activities that the Jurassic Coast has to offer.
So if you’re looking to make your weekend, mid-week or even a week-long stay at Burnbake one to remember, then there’s plenty of things to do for you to choose from:
Romantic Walks with a View
Coastal beauty is available in spades on our side of the county, so if your love language is romantic walks then there are plenty of routes for you to take. From seeing the sunrise, sunset or stars majestically crest over Durdle Door, or taking in the breathtaking scenery of Lulworth Cove, why not wrap up a lovely picnic for two to make it an all day event?
Food is the Language of Love
What romantic weekend away is complete without a date night? Whether you’re after something ornately fancy with flickering candlelight, or a more intimate setting in which to share a dessert, then the Isle of Purbeck has some of the best food and drink on the South coast. All gastronomy is available, from locally sourced dishes at The Salt Pig to acclaimed cuisine at The New Inn or fresh seafood at the scenic Shell Bay restaurant. There’s even a pub that overlooks Corfe Castle, for those that like a bit of historic wonder whilst sipping your wine!
Things to Do for Two
No couples retreat in Dorset is complete without treating yourselves – it’s in the name, after all! For the beach lovers looking to relax there is the Studland Sauna Hut at Knoll Beach, where you can enjoy all the benefits of a luxury, wood-fired sauna whilst taking in some gorgeous sea views. Or if you prefer your water adventures in river-form, why not take a leisurely, picturesque cruise from Wareham Quay with Wareham River Cruises.
Planning to Pop the Question?
The ring has been well hidden, the photographer has been hired, so now the last question to ask (apart from the Important One) is… where do you propose? Dorset has some of the most stunning landscapes this country has to offer, and any of them would make the perfect backdrop to drop down on one knee. If you’re looking for an intimate beach proposal, you couldn’t go far wrong with the white sandy shores of Shell Bay at Studland. Old Harry Rocks would be perfect for its stunning sunset views, and the iconic historic landmark would make a great distraction for when you the ring out of your pocket. Or if you want to take your proposal to new heights, why not hire a scenic hot air balloon ride with Aerosaurus Balloons and declare your love with the whole of Dorset at your feet.
So, no matter if it’s for Valentine’s Day, your anniversary or you just want to spend some well-needed time away together, book your luxury forest stay at Burnbake today.
