Cuckoo House United Kingdom

For us, holidays are about living care-free, about taking away external stresses from a busy world, and getting to focus on what is most important, time with your loved ones. Cuckoo House occupies a corner site in Dorset’s delightful Lakeside Estate. Offering an immersive experience in nature, this Estate boasts access to woodlands, heathlands and rolling countryside, to nature reserves and waterways and to endless walking routes and cycle paths. This property also benefits from full access to the Estates Activity Hub Membership, providing you with complimentary access to bikes, canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards during your stay.

Cuckoo House offers its own enclosed garden and is pet friendly perfect for those who want to bring their furry friend along. Glass patio doors lead into the house’s main living space, so you can throw the doors open, coming and going as you please. 

Inside, the aesthetic is simple and modern, with sunlight reflecting off the bright white walls and glossy kitchen cabinetry. Open plan, the kitchen, dining and living area all make use of this large room, encouraging social living for all guests. The kitchen is fully equipped, with heaps of cupboard space and a fabulous breakfast bar, perfect for gathering around with a bottle of chilled wine in the evening, or for kids to sit eating breakfast in the morning. Sofas have been arranged around the modern wood burner to create a comforting lounge space, whilst the large dining table sits in the sunniest corner of the room, ideal for social dining. A shower room and separate toilet complete the ground floor. 

As you walk upstairs, a half-turn staircase guides you ono the bright landing, giving access to three good-sized bedrooms. The master boasts a super-king size bed with a modern en-suite shower room, fitted wardrobe and a vanity unit. There are two more bedrooms, a double and a bunk room with three bunk beds. A family bathroom is shared between the bedrooms. 

Occupying a corner sight in the development, Cuckoo House offers peace and privacy, so you can step back and enjoy quiet time with your loved ones, heading in and out of the Estate facilities as you please. A modern, family holiday home, perfect for groups of six guests! 

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!
