Burton Cottage United Kingdom

This attractive detached Purbeck stone cottage offers the perfect balance between stylish and homely living. Offering three bedrooms for six guests, the entire house is furnished in a simple, modern style, with splashes of color that make the space feel fun and vibrant. Outside, our favorite spot is the little south facing seating area, where you can sit with a chilled glass of wine at the end of an active day, enjoying what is most important, time with your loved ones. A small area of decking stretches out around the property, with room to enjoy the sunshine as well as parking for two cars. 

Burton Cottage is perched within the Lakeside Estate, with full access to the Estate’s Activity Hub Membership included within the rental costs. This provides you with complimentary access to bikes, canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards during your stay, so you can revel in a new adventure every day, exploring the outstanding areas of natural beauty that envelop the entire Estate, in a variety of creative ways!

The best thing about a day of active adventures is having a cosy home to return to, and Burton Cottage is just that. The ground floor of the house is open plan, filled with modern furnishings and everything you need to make your stay comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with a breakfast bar so you can gather around and chat with the smells of homecooked food filling the room. A large dining table divides the kitchen and lounge, with a comforting wood burner perfect for nights in curled up on the sofa. 

As you walk up the stairs, Velux windows flood the floor with light, creating a light and airy space. There are three bedrooms, two king-size doubles and one children’s bunk bedroom. The master has its own elegant en-suite, whilst the second two bedrooms share a large family bathroom. All of them offer plenty of space and storage to enjoy quiet moments alone and a good night sleep! 

Whether you are looking for outdoor activities, beautiful beaches or daytrips to the spa, Burton Cottage offers a brilliant base to explore Dorset’s breath-taking Jurassic Coast and to enjoy all the outstanding facilities in the Lakeside Estate. 

The dramatic Jurassic coastline plays protector to the wild heathlands and rolling dales of beautiful Dorset. It is no wonder that this captivating area has enticed filmmakers, poets, authors and artists for centuries, with visitors allured by the sweeping golden beaches, grand historic houses, cobblestone market towns and idyllic country pubs. 

All around the Lakeside Estate and scattered down the Jurassic Coast there are picturesque towns to visit. From the breezy coastal town of Poole to the rich history of Dorchester and the picture postcard vistas of Lyme Regis. The Estate itself is located amidst the rugged beauty of this area, in the environs of West Dorset. Formerly the site of RAF Warmwell, the Estate boasts a rich history, offering a breath-taking space combining unspoilt nature, beautiful wildlife, and modern luxuries, so you can leave all worries behind, settling in for a holiday of complete relaxation.  

Enjoying the great outdoors is all part of a stay at the Lakeside Estate, with waterways to discover, cycle pathways to relish and the rolling Dorset Countryside to explore. Whether you want to hop in a kayak, canoe, paddleboard or bike, there is something for everyone, it is a real of hub of activity! The Estate’s tennis court and 3G artificial-turf Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) in Beaumont Village offer the perfect facilities for a quick knock-about or a lively game of five-a-side football with friends and family. The views from the courts over Beaumont Lake are gorgeous, making for a tricky distraction when you are trying to hit a winning shot! 

Lowland heathland is one of Britain’s most important habitats for wildlife conservation. The outer Heath is a SNCI (Site of Nature Conservation Interest) and it supports an unbelievable range of plants, birds, insects and mammals making it a remarkable place for wildlife spotting. For those eager to get close to nature, there are hundreds of acres to explore, with woodlands and hedgerows sheltering this diverse array of native wildlife. You can explore down the waterways, or by foot or bike making the most of the vast network of private footpaths. 

After a busy day immersed in nature, the Estate Spa is the perfect respite. The spa has been designed to offer a tranquil sanctuary of stress-free indulgence and ultimate relaxation! There is an outdoor pool, roof terrace, sauna, gym, library and a ‘restful relaxation’ lounge for some post treatment ‘you’ time. In the peaceful, candlelit treatment rooms you can enjoy an array of luxurious treatments.

Of course, no holiday is complete without a satisfied appetite. Your holiday home offers its own kitchen for home cooked delicacies, or for a night off, there are plenty of options within the Estate and in the surrounding towns. The Hurricane Terrace and Bar is located on the roof terrace of the spa, offering bespoke cocktails inspired by the area and a variety of snacks and small plates if you are feeling peckish. The Estates traditional handmade yurt offers the perfect spot for a lazy afternoon, with an outdoor woodfired pizza oven which is often fired up by expert chefs to provide the tastiest authentic woodfired pizza using the freshest local ingredients. Hours will idle by, as you play bored games, tell stories, and get cosy by the log burning stove!
