Set on a peaceful waterside site in the Dorset countryside, this spacious three-bedroom property gives families, couples and groups of friends a comfortable base within reach of the Jurassic Coast (6 miles). Both double bedrooms open onto private balconies of their own, while a rooftop terrace takes in panoramic views over the lake and surrounding hills. On-site facilities shared with other guests on the site include a spa and a rooftop bar, along with a private beach and water sports.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner runs across the ground floor, with French windows drawing light into a snug seating area warmed by a wood burner. A large central dining table/island sits between the seating and the kitchen. A separate TV room leads off the main living space, and the ground floor also holds a utility room and a shower room for added convenience. Upstairs, two double bedrooms each have an en-suite shower room and French doors leading onto a private balcony. The third bedroom is furnished with delightful bunk beds. The property features three outdoor spaces – a rooftop terrace with incredible views, the balconies on the first floor and a ground-level terrace accessed via the lounge, featuring outdoor furniture and a BBQ. Parking for one car is available directly outside, with additional spaces in the site's main car park.
