This four-bedroom house is located within a private estate in West Dorset, making it a wonderful retreat for large families or groups of friends keen for a holiday with plenty to do onsite. It’s surrounded by lakes, a nature reserve and pretty trails to explore on foot or by bike. You can go wild swimming, play tennis or relax in the spa and sauna, which has a relaxation yurt and lakeside treatment pods. When it’s time to leave this idyll, you’ll find a shop 0.5 miles away in nearby Crossroads, and the famous Jurassic Coast is just 6 miles south.
The inside of this attractive home features an open-plan living space for relaxing together, with a wood burner, soft seating, a Smart TV and patio doors leading out to the garden. The well-equipped kitchen has a breakfast bar for perching with coffee prepared in the machine, and there’s a dining table for six. The property has two king-size bedrooms, both with en-suite shower rooms. One looks across the lakes and the other opens onto a balcony with table and chairs above the garden. The two single bedrooms share a family bathroom. In good weather, make the most of the large garden, which includes a lawn for games along with a picnic table. A deck runs along the back of the house with sun loungers and relaxer chairs, plus a charcoal BBQ. Private parking for one car sits at the property, with more spaces in the main site car park.
Nearby, the market town of Dorchester (6 miles) is filled with shops and historical attractions like Thomas Hardy’s birthplace. Lulworth Cove and the Osmington White Horse lie within 10 miles, as do Maiden Castle's Iron Age ramparts and Weymouth's pretty harbour. Chesil Beach (15 miles) is located along the same stretch of the Jurassic Coast, where fossil hunting draws visitors to the shoreline.
