Skyfall

Set on a breathtaking estate, this stylish, lakeside retreat with a hot tub provides the perfect base for an unforgettable escape for those seeking serenity within nature or an adventurous getaway to the Jurassic Coast. Sleeping seven guests across three bedrooms, the surrounding landscape of freshwater lakes and a peaceful nature reserve, near Crossways, in Dorset, is perfect for families and groups of friends seeking relaxation.

Make lifelong memories enjoying the fabulous activities on-site: you can experience kayaking, paddleboarding and scenic nature trails from your doorstep. Answer the call of the Jurassic Coast, 6.5 miles away.

Enjoy a traditional bucket and spade adventure at Weymouth Beach, 10 miles away, which offers golden sand and breathtaking views. Jump aboard the charming heritage railway from Swanage, 22.5 miles, set on the magnificent Isle of Purbeck, to enjoy stunning views along the journey to the ancient Corfe Castle.

Boasting a light-filled design with a quintessentially coastal palette that perfectly reflects the beauty of your surrounding scenery, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides a wonderfully peaceful retreat. The roaring wood burner sets the scene for relaxation, while the large set of bi-folding patio doors frames splendid views towards the lakes and invites you to make the most of indoor/outdoor living.

Hunker down on the plush sofa to admire the lakeside vistas or gather with the whole party around the dining table to plan tomorrow’s adventure over a glass of something sparkling. Bursting with contemporary elegance, the sophisticated kitchen is a haven for budding chefs.

Upstairs await three peaceful bedrooms that promise a dreamy rest. There’s an en-suite king-size bedroom offering idyllic lakeside views to wake up to, a lovely twin and a serene bunk bedroom with a single bed over a double (top bunk suitable for a child only).
