Savour a delicious meal at the dining table in a light-filled room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden. End the day the right way by gathering your loved ones into the contemporary sitting room to enjoy a family favourite on the TV.

The stunning Bowleaze Cove rests nearby and makes for a fabulous bathing and swimming spot, followed by a trip to the fun-fille Fantasy Island Amusement Park. Venture over into the vibrant town of Weymouth, where you will discover the historic delights of the Victorian Note Fort and the grand Sandsfoot Castle, the thriving seafront with its Pleasure Pier, Escape Dungeons, SEA LIFE Centre and Alexandra Gardens and the expansive RSPB Radipole Lake.
