Honey House United Kingdom

Occasionally you visit a holiday home that you never want to leave, and Honey House is one of them! The cubic design of this minimalist property allows all the spaces to flow easily, with vast expanses of glass that flood every corner with natural light. Eye-catching views stretch out across the lake, so whether you are sitting on the deck, lazing in bed or cooking in the kitchen you can watch the entrancing water surface moving in front of you. 

Honey House is located within Dorset’s beautiful Lakeside Estate. Offering an immersive experience in nature, the property offers access to woodlands, heathlands and picturesque, rolling countryside, with endless walking routes and cycle paths for you to explore. 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.

The ground floor of the property revolves around the main open plan entertaining room, where a contemporary kitchen, social dining area and stunning lounge all co-exist in one space. Immaculately designed, this bright, airy room will have you re-designing your living spaces back home, with a muted color pallet that really allows the surrounding landscape to sing. With the floor-to-ceiling glass doors open, there is almost a seamless barrier between interior and exterior, yet as pull them closed later in the evening and light the wood burner, this spacious room becomes cosy and intimate. The kitchen itself is fully equipped, so you can prepare your favorite recipes with your loved ones gathered around the breakfast bar and the sun streaming in through the walls, making cooking a real joy! 

There are five bedrooms on the first floor including a master suite, three king-size rooms and a single room, as well as one large family bathroom. With large windows, charming balconies and comforting furnishings, these bedrooms are not just somewhere to crash at the end of night, they are tranquil spaces that make you want to stay in bed that extra minute longer just to gaze at the views. 

With balconies, decking and a garden that stretches right down to the waterfront, Honey House maintains a constant connection to the environment. The property offers its own private jetty, so you can explore the lake and surrounding area, really immersing yourself in this beautiful place. 

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!
