About Us

A Country House Rooted in History and Heritage

Set in the heart of Dorset’s countryside, Cranborne Lodge is a Grade II* listed Georgian manor with a story stretching back nearly 300 years, and roots that run much deeper.

As the latest custodians of this remarkable Palladian property, our vision to shape it into a destination of comfort and quiet elegance has only just begun.

Today, we are beginning a programme of carefully updating the house, enhancing each space with modern touches while remaining true to its historic character and timeless charm.

With layered comforts and thoughtful design, the Lodge now welcomes guests for everything, from intimate stays to joyful celebrations and grand events.

Cranborne Lodge continues to evolve as a refined retreat for those seeking a change of scenery and pace, welcoming curious connoisseurs, food lovers, wellness seekers, and city escapers alike.

A Vision of Vines and Wine

At the heart of the Lodge’s transformational journey is a new venture into the wonderful world of fine English wine. With our award-winning Penn Croft wines, we’re bringing a vine-to-bottle experience to all guests, combined with our expert chefs and experiential tasting menus.

Together, food and wine truly elevates your visit, whether you’re sleeping, visiting or partying. Like everything we do, our approach is considered, authentic and underpinned by sustainability and regenerative agriculture – in the true spirit of life and Cranborne Lodge.
