About South Shore Lodge

Take your group on an island adventure when you stay in this sea-view cottage on Brownsea Island.

Perfect for youth and special interest groups, this Victorian cottage provides bunk bed accommodation for up to 24 people. It’s set on the south coast of the island with its own garden, beach access and views of the Purbeck Hills.

Your journey here will see you cross the seas from Poole Harbour to arrive on this wildlife-rich island. You’ll be greeted by one of our wardens who will escort you to your accommodation.

Notes for visitors

Heating: The bunkhouse has electric heaters and oil.

Bedding/linen: Mattress protector, two pillows and a blanket will be provided. Sleeping bags need to be brought by individuals staying at the bunkhouse.

Parking: There is no parking available on Brownsea Island. The nearest parking is the main pay and display car parks at Sandbanks and Poole and they are a 10-15 minute walk to the ferry. Once on the Island bags can be transported to the bunkhouse. The uneven gravel route to the bunkhouse is not lit.

Garden: There's a medium-sized wild garden with elm trees located at the back of the lodge. The garden area is not fully enclosed. There is a south facing patio area with picnic benches and a BBQ area. There is a nearby natural play area.

Hazards: Arrival to the Island is via boat and visitors must be able to independently transfer to the mainland. This countryside property is close to the sea and cliffs.
