If you want to enjoy some luxurious lakeside living in Dorset with a twist, then you should consider a stay at The Lookout. With striking, modern interiors and huge windows flooding the space with natural light, this is a fantastic stay where you and your loved ones can unwind whilst soaking in the beautiful lake views.
The fab living space is open-plan and offers lots of room for you to spread out and socialise in style. Big, comfy sofas sit around a wall-mounted TV that is ideal for movie nights or morning coffees, and just off the lounge area is a long dining table that sets the scene for epic dinners that stretch into the night.
When it comes to meal prep, the contemporary kitchen is superbly equipped with all the amenities and high-end appliances you need to whip up delicious feasts. There’s also a spacious kitchen island that makes meal prep a breeze, and is also a great place to perch with a drink in hand chatting to your loved one as they cook dinner.
On summer days, you will fall in love with the rooftop terrace, which offers some fab outdoor seating where you can settle in for an afternoon drink in the sun. There’s also an outdoor kitchen here with a built-in BBQ and island bar. On top of this you also have a pool table out here (for friendly competition), some lovely sun loungers and your own private hot tub for soaks beneath the stars. There’s another lake-front terrace outside the main living space, where there’s a picnic bench for summer breakfasts or evening drinks by the water.
Tucked away on the ground floor, the snug is a cosy second lounge - perfect for kids, teens or anyone craving a quiet corner - with a TV, Xbox, sofa bed, desk and plenty of games.
Upstairs, two gorgeous super-king bedrooms each open onto their own private balcony and ensuite, while a further double and a stylish bunk room share a luxe family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub. Every room comes with air-con, and little details like underfloor heating and soft lighting give the whole place a boutique, retreat-like vibe.
Step back outside and the magic continues. A sweeping private lawn rolls down to the lake, where a jetty waits to launch paddleboards or kayaks straight onto the water. Across the way, a secret decked platform is just the spot for morning coffee or a quiet sundown drink.
The Lookout sits at the heart of Silverlake, a former quarry reimagined as a nature reserve with lakes, heathland and woodland. Guests enjoy access to the Hurricane Spa with its heated pool, sauna, gym and terrace bar, plus outdoor gear hire from the Activity Hub for biking, paddling and tennis. Dorchester is just 15 minutes away, with the Jurassic Coast a short drive further. Closer to home, cosy pubs, tea rooms and scenic trails make this a tranquil yet well-connected Dorset escape.
