Wood-clad and set within a lakeside holiday village and nature reserve on the fringes of Dorchester, this Dorset cottage sleeps eight in four bedrooms. A relaxed base for two families travelling together or for a multi-generational group, it pairs quiet countryside surroundings with the Jurassic Coast within 10 miles.
The open-plan living area runs across the ground floor. In the lounge, a two-seater corner sofa and a pair of armchairs face a wood burner, with a Smart TV alongside for cosy evenings in. A dining table seating eight stands beside patio doors that open onto the decked area, while the kitchen has a central island with two stools. A cloakroom completes this level where you can store all of your outdoor hear. Stairs lead up to the four bedrooms where you will find a bright and airy double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, along with a balcony furnished with two lounging chairs. A second double also has an en-suite shower room with a WC, and a third double sits next to a bunk bedroom for younger guests. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and a WC. The garden is lawned, with a furnished patio and BBQ for al fresco dining. Private parking is provided for one car, with additional spaces in the main car park. Facilities on the site include a spa with a heated outdoor pool and sauna (treatments carry an extra charge), and a restaurant, as well as tennis courts, water sports facilities, bike hire, nature trails, and an adventure playground.
The Jurassic Coast lies within 10 miles, with classic beach days at Weymouth and rock pooling at Lulworth Cove. Monkey World, a rescue centre for primates, is 7 miles away, and The Tank Museum, home to a large collection of military vehicles and interactive exhibits, is 6.5 miles. Dorchester is close by.
