Families and groups of up to six have room to spread out in this three-bedroom, dog-friendly holiday home on a well-kept park near Crossways in Dorset. Picturesque lakes and a nature reserve sit alongside shared leisure facilities. Wood-clad outside and bright within, it stands a short drive from the Jurassic Coast, with a private deck for quieter moments between days out.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner runs across the ground floor and is finished in cheerful lime green. A wood burner warms the sofa end of the room, while a bookshelf and Smart TV sit within easy reach of the bi-folding doors that open onto the deck. A central island with a breakfast bar and two stools sits beside the dining table, while a WC completes this floor. Stairs climb to the first floor, where the super-king-size bedroom has a TV and an en-suite shower room with a WC. A double bedroom and a bunk room are adjacent to the family bathroom, which has both a bath and a separate shower, plus a WC. The private deck holds a picnic table and further furniture, and the lawn beyond it is not enclosed. Shared with other guests on the park are a heated outdoor swimming pool, a sauna and cold plunge, a gym, a beauty and wellness clinic, and a restaurant. Water sports, mountain biking, and fishing are available on site, with equipment hire running between Easter and October half-term, and some sessions must be booked at reception. Parking for one car sits beside the holiday home, with additional cars going in the main car park.
Dorchester lies 6 miles away, with shops and plenty of places to eat and drink, while the National Trust's Hardy's Cottage, once home to a renowned English author, is within easy reach. The beach at Ringstead Bay is 6.5 miles away and Bowleaze Cove is 9 miles away, with Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door both within 9.5 miles. Sections of the South West Coast Path link the two coves, and there are picnic spots at either.
