Make the great escape to this West Dorset lakeside lodge with a private jetty that's just a short drive from the wilds of the Jurassic Coast. Part of an exclusive lakeside holiday complex surrounded by a sprawling nature reserve, while this home doesn’t offer complete seclusion, it certainly delivers on gold standard amenities. A shared outdoor heated pool, spa, forest adventure playgrounds, recreational lakes, and endless walking trails will keep everyone busy. Food-wise, there’s a rooftop bar and restaurant on-site, a pop-up pizzeria, or head back to the lodge's private gardens and rooftop terrace. The garden games and lawns for a runabout will keep little ones busy as you fire up the barbecue.
