Property code: OC-S45211

A stylish, contemporary Dorset lodge, this spacious retreat is well suited to relaxed group stays. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, the inviting holiday home near Crossways, 6 miles from Dorchester, comes with an enclosed garden for sunny evenings and a cosy wood burner to gather around when the temperature drops. Within this peaceful private estate, you can enjoy a range of activities and leisure facilities, but if you do want to explore, then the scenic Jurassic Coast is just 6.5 miles away. Seaside plans in the area might include paddling at Weymouth or walking along the South West Coast Path around Lulworth Cove, both 10 miles away. The iconic Osmington White Horse is 7.5 miles away, while the Iron Age hillforts of Maiden Castle sit just 9 miles from the estate. Head 6 miles into Dorchester to potter in the colourful independent shops, then return for dinner beside the lake.

Enter this beautifully designed property to find a sleek, Scandi-inspired open-plan living space, finished with high-quality furnishings and a calm, contemporary palette. The stylish kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and a breakfast bar, giving you everything needed to make self-catering a breeze. The dining table, which comfortably seats eight, has been cleverly positioned beside the large sliding doors so you can have an idyllic view while you eat. Settle into the plush lounge seating for a relaxed evening in front of the Smart TV or snuggled beside the wood burner. Upstairs, you will be greeted by four well-presented bedrooms. Two king-size rooms with en-suite shower rooms open onto a balcony overlooking the gorgeous nature garden, while a comfortable double bedroom and a playful bunk room provide flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups. A modern family bathroom completes this floor.

The garden is simply beautiful, with a lush, enclosed green space, generous decking, a BBQ, and dining furniture. The children and dogs have plenty of room to explore the spacious rear garden and neighbouring nature garden. As evening arrives, take a seat overlooking the lake and sip your late-night drinks. Private parking is available for one car, with additional cars to be parked in the main car park.
