Rest and recharge in this elegant holiday home on a beautiful, family-run estate in West Dorset, 6 miles from the Jurassic Coast. The pet-friendly, lakeside retreat welcomes four guests and is perfect for families and friends looking to switch off and connect with nature. Take a stroll through the surrounding estate, with its stunning freshwater lakes and nature reserves, followed by a dip in the outdoor pool or a visit to the spa (additional charges apply). If you can tear yourself away from all the amenities on site, you’ll find that you’re within easy reach of some of Dorset’s top beauty spots, including Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, and Ringstead Bay (all within 10 miles). Other popular days out include the traditional seaside town of Swanage, the vibrant market town of Bridport, and the sailing town of Weymouth, all within 25 miles.

The waterside hideaway sits within a complex of similar retreats and is decorated in a contemporary style, with neutral paintwork and sleek furniture. The main living space is a bright, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that’s perfect for spending quality time with family and friends. Prepare home-cooked feasts in the chic kitchen area, before gathering at the breakfast bar or sitting down at the dining table to enjoy mealtimes all together. In summer months, throw open the French doors to the terrace for indoor/outdoor living. As the evening draws in, light the wood burner and get cosy in the lounge area for a movie night in front of the Smart TV or a family board game. Upstairs, you’ll find two tranquil king-size bedrooms, both with relaxing decor and ample space to store all your holiday attire. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room, and the other bedroom has use of a stylish bathroom. Both bedrooms have access to the balcony, where you can enjoy glimpses of the lake as you sip your morning coffee.

French doors from the living area open onto a private, decked terrace, where you can sip a glass of wine or fire up the BBQ for an evening of al fresco dining with the family. Guests are also welcome to explore the wider estate, which includes freshwater lakes, nature reserves, and a private beach. There is a whole host of shared facilities within the estate, such as a restaurant, outdoor swimming pool, and spa (additional charges apply), and you can hire bikes and water sports equipment, too. Private parking is provided for one car, with additional parking in the main car park.
