The Cottage on the Lake

The Cottage on the Lake: Dorset

Slow down at this Dorset cottage set within an exclusive lakeside holiday complex surrounded by a sprawling nature reserve. With a shared outdoor heated pool, spa, forest adventure playgrounds, recreational lakes, and endless walking trails, there are plenty of reasons to linger here. Though for a change of scene, the bustling towns of Dorchester and Weymouth and the mighty Jurassic coast are an easy drive away. When it’s time to cosy up back at this newly-built cottage, there’s a log burner to hunker down beside in winter months and a garden for barbecues on long summer nights. It’s worth noting that while the outdoor space is picturesque, it’s not enclosed so make sure to say hello to your neighbours.

Home truths:
*There is private parking outside the cottage.
*The garden may feel overlooked by the neighbouring homes.
*There are stairs within this home which may be unsuitable for guests with restricted mobility.
*There are unfenced streams and lakes nearby to the home, and the garden is not enclosed. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
