Set within a nature reserve, this lakeside holiday home is a wonderful base for friends and family wanting to uncover the best of Dorset’s countryside and coast. Spend your days enjoying the park’s excellent facilities, including a spa, watersports on the lake, a secluded beach and a rooftop bar. Discover the historic town of Dorchester (6 miles), where characterful streets offer a glimpse into the area’s past. The spectacular Jurassic Coast is also close by, with picturesque Lulworth Cove 10 miles away. For seaside days, head to Weymouth (10 miles), where a sandy beach and traditional promenade make it a favourite for all ages, or roam the sweeping shoreline of Chesil Beach (15 miles) and the Victorian resort of Swanage (21 miles). Alternatively, visit the striking Osmington White Horse (6 miles) carved into the hillside, or explore Maiden Castle (9 miles).
The generous, open-plan living area has been designed for sociable stays, combining an airy and sleek lounge with a plush corner sofa, a wood burner and a contemporary kitchen with an island unit and breakfast bar seating. A sizeable dining table comfortably seats eight guests, creating an inviting setting for shared meals, while a downstairs cloakroom adds convenience. Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged across four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The striking master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while a second roomy double bedroom also benefits from its own en-suite and access onto the full-width balcony overlooking the lake. Both double bedrooms open onto this elevated outdoor area, where waterside vistas await. The remaining bedrooms include a compact double and a bunk bedroom, making the lodge well suited to families and groups. A family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower completes the first-floor layout.
Sliding doors from the lounge lead onto the enclosed rear decking, where guests can enjoy meals around the seating area for eight or fire up the charcoal BBQ while taking in the view across the lake towards Wakeling Island. The property also has its own jetty providing direct access to the water, an EV charging point and a gravel driveway to the side of the lodge.
