This contemporary cottage sits on a family-run lakeside estate 6 miles from Dorchester, a quiet base for couples or small families travelling with a dog. Sleeping four, it looks out over the water and the surrounding estate, with a wood burner indoors and generous outdoor space for when the sun shines. On-site, a wide range of facilities are available for use throughout your stay, including fishing in the natural lakes, an outdoor swimming pool, gym, tennis court, sauna, spa, restaurant, and rooftop bar. You can hire water sports equipment to take out with you on a daily adventure, reaching the Jurassic Coast just 6 miles from home.
The ground floor holds an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with a wood burner at its centre and a wooden dining table. The lounge area has a Smart TV, and the outlook stretches across the estate. Stairs lead up to two double bedrooms, each with generous storage and access to the first-floor balcony. One has an en-suite shower room, and the separate bathroom on the same floor features a shower over the bath. Bi-fold doors from the living area open onto the private garden. The decked terrace has outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ, while a small lawn provides space for four-pawed guests. Private parking is provided for one car, with additional spaces in the on-site car park.
The Jurassic Coast begins 6 miles from the estate, with clifftop paths and fossil-hunting beaches. Lulworth Cove and Ringstead Bay both lie within 10 miles. Weymouth, a sailing town, is 10 miles away, while the county town of Dorchester is 6 miles away, offering shops and everyday amenities. Bridport, 21 miles away, boasts a lively market. Swanage, also 21 miles away, offers beach hut hire and a Victorian pier, and a steam train runs inland from there to Corfe Castle.
