This stylish lakefront escape makes the most of its setting. Set on a luxury private estate within an extensive nature reserve, it's all sweeping countryside views and laid-back luxury. The open-plan kitchen and living space is perfect for entertaining, flowing seamlessly onto a generous garden with outdoor dining, comfy seating and a BBQ. Upstairs, the master suite has its own balcony for slow mornings with coffee and birdsong. At full capacity, two guests will share the sofa bed in the TV room. There may also be some nearby construction during the day, but the access to the on-site pools, spa, and nature trails makes every moment here feel like a breath of fresh Dorset air.

About Dorset
If you want to immerse yourself in the England of yesteryear, a trip to the county of Dorset is a good place to start. The author Thomas Hardy seemed to concur – he drew heavily on his experience growing up around these parts to create the fictionalised rural idyll of Wessex that was the setting for many of his books.
