This three-bedroom house is set among freshwater lakes on a Dorset nature reserve, made for families and groups who want open water and quiet woodland on their doorstep. Kayaking and paddleboarding start at the lake's edge, and a sauna and lakeside spa treatment pods are shared with other guests staying on the development. Nature trails begin from the door.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner runs across the ground floor, with tall windows drawing in light and framing views over the reserve. Seating faces the wood burner, and a Smart TV is provided, while the dining table can accommodate the whole party in the same space. Upstairs, the three bedrooms are finished in a neutral palette. One has a king-size bed, another is a twin bedroom, and the third is a bunk bedroom. The decked terrace has outdoor seating and a BBQ, with the lake beyond. Shared with other guests on the development are a 25-metre heated outdoor pool and a cold plunge. Outdoor showers and a relaxation yurt are also available, along with a tennis court and multi-use games area. A woodland adventure space includes climbing and zip lines, and a beach on the lake edge is kept for guests of the development. The activity hub hires water sports equipment and bikes. Fishing is available on one of the lakes, while a restaurant and pub can also be found on the complex, to make things even easier. Private parking is provided for one car, with further spaces at the main car park.
Weymouth Beach and Chesil Beach both lie within 16.5 miles, providing two long stretches of sand and shingle on the Jurassic Coast. Swanage (22.5 miles) pairs the sandy shores of Swanage Beach with a heritage railway that runs inland to historic Corfe Castle.
