Scandinavian-inspired and set within a quiet holiday village of freshwater lakes and a nature reserve, this Dorset cottage sleeps eight in four bedrooms and suits families or groups of friends after a mix of fun activities right on the doorstep and coastal days out with the Jurassic Coast just a short drive away.
The open-plan ground floor starts with the kitchen, which flows into a dining area seating eight and then the lounge, where a wood burner sits opposite comfortable sofas. Curl up for a movie night watching something on the Smart TV. Stairs lead up to the four bedrooms, all decorated in neutral tones. Two double rooms open onto a private balcony with countryside views, and each has an en-suite shower room with WC. A third double bedroom, and a bunk bed room sit alongside the family bathroom, which has a bath and a WC. The lawned garden has a furnished patio and BBQ for al fresco dining. A gravelled driveway reaches the back entrance and provides private parking for one car, with additional spaces in the park's main car park. Facilities shared with other guests of the holiday village include a heated outdoor pool and sauna, plus spa treatments (extra charges apply), along with a lakeside restaurant, tennis, bike rental, nature trails, and water sports such as kayaking and paddleboarding.

The Tank Museum at Bovington is 6.5 miles from the cottage, with an impressive collection of military vehicles and interactive exhibits.
