Beside the water on a family-run estate in West Dorset, this contemporary holiday home sleeps four and sits 6 miles from the Jurassic Coast. Made for families or two couples who want to slow the pace, it combines a private decked terrace and lake views with a wider estate of freshwater lakes and nature reserves to wander. It’s also pet-friendly, so you can bring Rover along, too. On-site, you’ll find plenty of appealing amenities to fill your time with, including an outdoor swimming pool, gym, tennis court, sauna, spa, restaurant and rooftop bar.
The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the main living space, decorated in neutral tones with sleek furniture. Meals can be taken at the breakfast bar or the dining table, and French doors lead from the lounge area onto the terrace. A wood burner warms the lounge, alongside a Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker. Stairs rise to the first floor and two king-size bedrooms. One has an en-suite shower room with a shower and WC; the other has use of a bathroom with a shower over the bath and WC. A separate WC sits alongside. Both bedrooms open onto the balcony, which looks towards the lake. Outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ sit on the decked terrace off the living area. Private parking is provided for one car, with further spaces in the on-site car park.
Stay close to home and try your hand at angling, spending time on the freshwater lakes that surround the property within fishing workshops bookable on site. When you’re ready to head out, you’ll find Dorset's Jurassic Coast just 6 miles away. Within 10 miles are Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Ringstead Bay. Other days out include Weymouth, a sailing town, and Bridport, a vibrant market town, both within 25 miles. Swanage, also within 25 miles, is a traditional seaside town.
