Overview
Enjoy the great outdoors from the privacy of your own home with the property’s spectacular Skydeck offering a blend of contemporary design, eco-friendly construction and luxurious comfort for a party of six guests.
Dorset Dove offers simple architectural elegance from top to bottom. The ground floor comprises of a large family bathroom, TV room and utility room but the real social hub is the striking open plan living area that gives guests a chance to cook, chat and relax both inside on the comfortable sofas or dining island area and outside, by stepping through the room-width French windows that lead to your own private decking. The well-equipped kitchen includes everything you will need from dishwasher, induction cooker through to cleaning products.
Up to the first floor you will find two double bedrooms both with en-suite rain shower, each benefitting from French doors that open to a private balcony where you can take in the air with your morning coffee. A small bunk room on this floor is a perfect nook for the kids. But what really makes Skydeck special is the top floor of the property, accessed by stairs from the first floor. Here you will find a secure, rooftop decking offering 360-degree views of the glittering Beaumont Lake and rolling Dorset hills. Why not take up a bottle of champagne and recline on the rattan furniture in perfect privacy under the stars.
Dorset Dove has all the ingredients for a memorable holiday nestled in the rural beauty of West Dorset. There is something for everyone at the Silverlake activity hub from tennis courts to paddle boarding, whilst those looking to relax and unwind can head for a restorative swim and sauna at the shared pool and spa. Surrounded by the Dorset heathlands, where in the summer wild ponies roam, the house is within reaching distance of the stunning Jurassic Coastline and its glorious beaches, the perfect spot to enjoy all the county has to offer.
What you should know…
- Young children will love the Skydeck but should be supervised when using the space.
- Although safe, the development is centred round a lake so guests with small children should not be left to explore on their own.
- The property’s indoor dining area for six is seated round the kitchen island.
- There are no water-based activities from November to February due to low temperatures.

Location
About the surrounding area of Dorset DoveThe Silverlake country estate offers luxury accommodation in the peace and calm of the freshwater lakes and sweeping countryside views that surround it. Rest, revive and recharge at the Hurricane Spa by reclining in the heated infinity pool after enjoying a massage or facial in one of the treatment rooms. Take in the surrounding beauty of the idyllic lakeside views from the spa’s own private beach or blow off steam in state-of the art gym.
The house’s proximity to the neighbouring lakes means it will be hard to entice yourself away from the water, with kayaks, paddleboards and fishing aplenty. For those who prefer to stay on dry land why not zip wire over the water instead? Or grab a bike and take the family off for beautiful bike ride on the wider estate stopping off for a picnic in a tranquil spot whilst nature spotting the local birds and wildlife.
The beautiful county of Dorset is a popular tourist spot, an area known for its rolling dales, protected heathlands and breath-taking UNESCO-heritage Jurassic coastline. The house is within reaching distance of fabulous beaches, including the beautiful shingle Ringsted Bay, which at low tide reveals a wide expanse of sand. It is the perfect beach for quiet and calm surrounded by neighbouring farmlands. For those who like to get out and explore the stunning countryside, we recommend a visit to Moreton Forest with a range of tree-filled walks amongst the towering conifers.
A trip to the Smuggler’s Inn, a historic 13th Century pub with unbeatable sea views of the Isle of Portland is an absolute must with an excellent selection of ales to sample and delicious food, the perfect spot for a pitstop after a lovely scenic stroll.
If you’re looking to take in the area’s fascinating history then you won’t be disappointed with the thousand-year-old Corfe Castle, a majestic ruin established by William the Conqueror, just a short drive away. Fans of Thomas Hardy can visit Dorchester’s Dorset Museum which houses the largest Hardy Collection in the world, bequeathed by his wife Florence. Just thirty minutes away, is the picturesque town of Poole, here you can hop on a ferry and visit neighbouring islands or soak up the sunrays on the near-by golden beaches at Sandbanks and Bournemouth. A visit to the colourful Lighthouse Arts Centre offers art exhibitions, theatre and film then why not finish off the day with some locally caught fish and chips on the beach.
Other close-by towns which are well worth a visit include the charming county town of Weymouth with its recognisable Georgian seafront and the lively market towns of Bridport and Lyme Regis. The famous Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch, is just a twenty-minute car journey away and is a must-visit while in the area.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesWith so many spaces to explore and discover Dorset Dove will make a memorable family holiday home. The double bunk bedroom offers a perfect sleepover spot for siblings, cousins or friends whilst the Skydeck, complete with a layer of grass offers complete security and privacy whilst your little ones benefit from the clean crisp air of the Dorset countryside. Wifi throughout and a flat-screen TV in the living area will allow a chance to unwind and relax after an epic day on the lake. Plus, a cosy TV room on the ground floor offers older kids an opportunity to relax away from the grown-ups in their own cosy space.
The property possesses a secure position on a gated development with a fun children's playground and tennis courts. There is an 'activity hub' on site where bikes, canoes, kayaks and paddleboards can be borrowed, please note this is subject to availability and so we recommend requesting them at time of booking. Alongside a children’s playground, little adventurers have endless opportunities to explore from the woodland Island with treeline zipwires and refreshing eco-pool, an excellent spot to toast marshmallows around the campfire. Warm up in the on-site yurt with log-burning fire and neighbouring wood-burning stove where chefs will cook up perfect pizzas to munch on (subject to season.). If you are still hungry check out the Hurricane Terrace Bar for delicious food for all the family, and cocktails for the adults!
With safe, picturesque cycle routes and walks, the estate has something for all ages, we recommend taking part in the Miss Dormouse treasure trail, a family-friendly way to explore the reserve.
The Jurassic Coast offers some of the UK’s most striking shores. Dinosaur fans will be in heaven with a day trip to Lyme Regis or Charmouth less than an hour’s drive away. Go on a fossil hunting tour at Charmouth Beach and visit David Attenborough’s sea dragon discovery in the Charmouth Heritage Centre. Closer to home Dorchester, just a short drive away has its own Dinosaur Museum with life-size reconstructions, beware the T-rex! If dinosaurs aren’t your thing, then why not take curious kids to the Tutankhamun Exhibition Centre instead offering a display of exquisite reconstructions of the antechamber and all its treasures within.
A trip to Weymouth wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Sealife centre to take in the sharks, turtles, seals, rays and a thriving Penguin beach with both Humboldt and Fairy penguins.
