The River to the House

Set amid acres of woodland home to native wildlife, this family-friendly cottage sits on a private estate, boasting a heated pool, spa treatments, watersport activities on the freshwater lakes, and much more. The log burner is a cosy touch, and curious kids will find a telescope for stargazing before bedtime – practical baby cots and highchairs are also available to rent. Hiring a car comes recommended, as Dorchester is a lovely drive away, and the Dorset coast offers striking scenery and excellent seafood.

Home truths:
*You'll have access to the on-site facilities here, including a spa, pool, lake, private beach, and roof bar. They're shared with the estate's other residents.
*There’s free parking available directly next to this home. Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
*If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
*If you're allergic to feathers, please speak with your host about the bedding here. You may wish to bring your own.
