Set beside a scenic lake on Dorset's Silverlake Estate, this three-bedroom lodge sleeps six adults and one child, making it ideal for two families sharing or a group of friends travelling together. A private jetty leads straight onto the lake, and the hot tub outside enjoys the same magical view. The estate is a designated nature reserve, with freshwater lakes, woodland trails and wildlife to spot across the grounds, as well as a range of shared, on-site leisure facilities and activities for guests to enjoy. Inside, pale coastal colours keep the rooms bright and open to the scenery, while an abundance of glass brings the natural light flooding in. For a day out at the seaside, the magnificent Jurassic Coast is within 6.5 miles.
