3 Bedroom Cottage in Crossways

A delightful getaway on a well-maintained site with lakes, leisure facilities and a nature reserve, this friendly retreat makes a magnificent base for exploring Dorset and the Jurassic Coast. Sleeping six guests, the three-bedroom, dog-friendly holiday home offers bright, modern accommodation with a private deck for outside relaxation. Guests can enjoy the extensive shared facilities at the friendly park near Crossways or venture further afield. Head into charming Dorchester, 6 miles away, to shop, dine out in a cheerful pub and visit the National Trust’s Hardy’s Cottage, once home to the renowned English author. While away sunny afternoons on the coast during your stay. Head to the beach at Ringstead Bay, 6.5 miles away, or Bowleaze Cove, 9 miles away. Picturesque Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, within 9.5 miles, are also well worth a visit. Stroll along the South West Coast Path, pausing for a picnic at either scenic location.


Return to the comfort of the wood-clad holiday home after each exciting on-site activity or excursion out into your Dorset surroundings. The bright, airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, with its cheerful lime-green finish, encompasses everything you need to make your stay a holiday to remember. Light the wood burner on chilly days, then help yourself to a book from the shelf and cosy up on the chic sofa. Watch the Smart TV, play games or open the bi-folding doors so everyone can wander in and out with ease. The modern kitchen has been designed to ensure you have everything required to help you cater for your party with the provisions you shop for. There is a central island, with a breakfast bar with two stools, and the dining table is conveniently located close by. There is also a handy WC downstairs. When you are ready to retire for the night, climb the stairs to the first floor of the lodge. Here you have a super-king-size bedroom, a double and a bunk room that the youngsters will love. The gorgeous super-king-size has the luxury of an en-suite shower room and a TV. The family bathroom offers the choice of a bath or a shower.


Decide whether to enjoy your morning coffee out in the sunshine of the deck at the picnic table or on the sofa. Play games with the children and your delighted dog on the lawn, keeping an eye on them at all times as the area is not enclosed. Guests can make the most of the on-site activities, including hiring water sports equipment at certain times of year. They can dip in the lake, work out in the gym and enjoy the outdoor pool, sauna and beauty and wellness clinic. Some sessions may need to be booked and paid for. There is also an on-site restaurant. There is parking for one car beside the lodge, with additional cars to be parked in the main car park.
