Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Ideal for big family get-togethers, this home sits on private grounds offering a lakeside beach, sports activities, and more to inspire adventures. While the decking and balconies boast serene views, some guests may feel a bit overlooked by the neighbours. But for sociable holidaymakers, there's a communal barbecue area out the back. Alternatively, the spa is a short stroll away. Hire a car so you can explore West Dorset, where Poole offers a rewarding day trip with its rich maritime history.

Home truths
While some of the bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
The decking and balconies are somewhat overlooked by the homes opposite, so it doesn't feel completely private. There's also a communal barbecue area to the rear of this home.
At full occupancy, four guests will be sleeping on the sofa beds in the second-floor living area.
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 for several cars on the gravel driveway here. Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
