Set within a lakeside holiday estate in West Dorset, this two-level home is all about taking advantage of the great outdoors on its doorstep. Communal access to the on-site heated swimming pool, spa and restaurant ensure plenty of relaxing downtime, while the gym, tennis courts, children’s playground and array of watersports on offer are on hand for when you wish to ramp up the activity level. The holiday site also boasts access to a beach where you can while away sunny hours on the sands. And after a fun-filled day, there’s no better way to end the evening than with an alfresco meal on the private patio, followed by a glass of wine by the living room’s fire.
