Property code: OC-H45190

This property stands in a quiet holiday park on the edge of the Dorset coast, where lakes and wildlife trails wrap around a contemporary house that sleeps six. Couples, friends, or families travelling together have three king-size bedrooms, each with its own en-suite, plus an open-plan living space that keeps the group together. The Jurassic Coast begins a few miles south.


The open-plan living space has patio doors opening out onto the garden, with a breakfast bar and a dedicated bar area in the kitchen and a dining table alongside. In the lounge, seating is arranged around a wood burner and a Smart TV, and perfect for a cosy night in. Stairs lead to three bedrooms, all with king-size zip-and-link beds that can be made up as twins by arrangement. One has an en-suite bathroom with a bath and WC, and the other two have en-suite shower rooms with WCs. Two of the bedrooms open onto a balcony with seating overlooking the nature reserve. At ground level, the enclosed garden holds a table and chairs for al fresco dining. Facilities shared with other guests on the park include an outdoor swimming pool and sauna. The fitness centre, tennis courts, spa, and restaurant are also available, with sessions booked at reception. Private parking for several cars sits directly outside.


Adventures start at the front door, but if you decide to venture farther, Pallington Lakes, known for its sculptures, lies 4 miles away. At 4.5 miles, the Osmington White Horse looks out over the countryside. For days at the beach, Ringstead Bay is 5 miles away and opens onto a sweeping arc of sand backed by geologically fascinating cliffs, with the South West Coast Path running above. Bowleaze Cove sits 6.5 miles away, while Durdle Door is 7.5 miles away. Hardy's Cottage, birthplace of the writer Thomas Hardy, is 5.5 miles from the park. Athelhampton House and Gardens is the same distance, while Maiden Castle stands 7.5 miles away. Dorchester, 6 miles off, has shops and places to eat. The coastal town of Weymouth is 9 miles away.
