Daisy by the Lake in Dorchester, Dorset

Daisy by the Lake Self-Catering

Fancy staying on an island in a scenic nature reserve? You'll enjoy access to the on-site spa and pool, lakeside beach, forest playgrounds, and lots of outdoor activities. While construction goes on nearby, this home may not suit guests craving long lie-ins. But with a private jetty right outside, kid-friendly bunk beds, and decking for sunny barbecues, it's ideal for young families who seek a dawn-to-dusk adventure. What's more, Poole offers a rewarding road trip for proper bucket and spade days on the Jurassic Coast.

Home truths:
*While some of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*Construction work may be ongoing in the area around the home. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay.
*The decking is somewhat overlooked by the nearby homes. There's a chance you might see a neighbour or two while outside, so it doesn't feel completely private. That said, there's a private jetty at this home.
*You'll have access to the on-site facilities here, including a spa, pool, lake, private beach, and roof bar. They're shared with the estate's other residents.
*There's free parking on-site. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay.
