Boasting style, luxury and views, this glorious holiday home offers up all you could ever need for that special group escape. With plenty of room to spread out, there’s ten ensuite bedrooms, cool open-plan living, a games room, a well set-up cinema room and a kitchen that a pro chef would be happy to cook in. And then there’s the large indoor pool, Jurassic coast views and two large sun terraces. The design of the building was centred around creating a wonderfully luxurious social space where large groups can get together in style - and we can wholeheartedly say that it totally delivers.

The main living area downstairs is a bright and airy open-plan space. The standout interior design effortlessly creates cosy areas - from the copper-topped bar and intimate dining area, to the gloriously comfortable lounge with its stone surround open fire. Wooden floors, designer furniture and spellbinding coastal views out of the impressive windows make this space the epitome of luxury and style. Whether you’re enjoying a pre-dinner aperitif at the bar or taking it easy with your morning cup of tea in the beautiful bay window, it’s a space you can truly indulge in.

The sleek high-end kitchen has all you could need and more. Doubling up on hobs, ovens, large dishwashers, American-sized refrigerators, freezer drawers and sinks means that having more than one chef won’t spoil anything. And the large bar area makes it a wonderfully sociable space too.

There will be no arguments over bedrooms either - with ten bedrooms, all with super king beds, built-in wardrobes and luxe en suite bathrooms (with walk-in showers in all, and two with an additional bath). All are elegantly put together with crisp white linen, deep pile carpets and eye-catching art on the walls.

The sociable spaces are plentiful - with a cinema room (complete with Blu-Ray, Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon TV and a Smart TV) and games’ room (with a ping pong table, card table, dartboard, large TV, music speakers, board games and puzzles). And the icing on this rather stylish cake is the sublime indoor swimming pool. It’s a striking room with comfortable seating areas and floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors that lead out to a beautiful sun terrace. The large pool is heated and has a lovely shallow area for any younger guests.

There are two large terraces - each are suitably stunning with luxurious seating areas and picture-perfect views. And if you need some space to run around, there’s a manicured meadow - perfect for little ones to explore.

The location is spectacular too. Situated right in the heart of Dorset’s Jurassic coast, Lulworth Cove is breathtaking. Explore the fabulous coastal paths, go fossil hunting or take a walk into the picturesque fishing village of West Lulworth - just a five minute stroll away. If you feel like exploring further then East Lulworth with its famous castle and park - and the bustling town of Wareham, with its food markets and lovely restaurants - are both within easy striking distance.
