Priority access. A dedicated contact. Benefits that make every stay feel effortless from the moment you enquire. The Drift Circle is our annual membership for guests who return — and those who plan to.
Annual membership. Renews each October. Cancel any time before renewal.
Membership isn't just about discounts. It's about getting the stays that don't make it to the public listings, having someone who knows what you like, and arriving to a property that's already been thought through.
Members see all available dates two weeks before public release. Peak season, bank holidays, summer school weeks — yours before anyone else gets a look.
2 weeks early accessOne person. Direct WhatsApp line. Not a call centre, not a booking form. Someone who knows your preferences and is available throughout every stay.
Direct WhatsApp accessEvery add-on — private chef, boat hire, restaurant bookings, transfers, spa — at 10% below standard rate for the duration of your membership.
Applied automaticallyA curated Drift welcome gift delivered to your home each October at renewal — Dorset produce, something for the house, something for the occasion.
Posted on renewalWhen a new property joins the Drift portfolio, members are the first to know — with an exclusive 48-hour booking window before public announcement.
48hr exclusive windowMember benefits evolve each season. We add and improve based on what members tell us they value. You'll always get more than you signed up for.
Some guests know exactly what they want. Others want to arrive to a week that's been thought through in advance — restaurants booked, experiences arranged, the property stocked and ready.
Our Bespoke Stay Planning service is for the latter. A single planning fee of £350 covers everything from initial consultation through to your arrival. After that, any add-ons are charged at cost plus our standard margin.
A call or WhatsApp conversation to understand your group, your preferences, your occasion, and what exceptional looks like to you.
We build a bespoke itinerary — restaurant reservations, activities, boat hire, chef bookings — tailored entirely to your party. Sent for your approval within 48 hours.
Welcome provisions arranged, specific requests fulfilled, property briefed. Everything in place before your arrival — nothing left to chance.
A dedicated contact throughout your stay for any last-minute changes, additions, or simply a recommendation you hadn't thought of.
