Brook & Bay House is a charming waterside four bedroom retreat with high quality furnishings, the perfect home from home for up to 8 guests seeking a romantic escape or relaxed family getaway. Ideally located in the heart of the eco-friendly resort, this delightful and beautifully decorated cottage sits alongside a gently flowing stream and provides easy access to a communal jetty and the waterways beyond, perfect for exploring the lake by paddleboard.
Set on a private lakeside estate in the heart of Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, Silverlake is one of those places that takes a moment to sink in. The grounds sit on a former RAF airfield, now given over entirely to freshwater lakes, nature reserve, and award-winning holiday homes designed with sustainability built into every detail.
It’s just over two and a half hours from London, but it feels considerably further away than that. Kayaking on calm lakes, cycling through unspoiled countryside, a rooftop restaurant, a spa on the edge of Beaumont Lake, and some of Dorset’s finest beaches, caves and coves within easy reach. Whether you’re after a long weekend reset or a proper family escape, Silverlake makes a convincing case for doing very little, very well.

Brook & Bay House is perfectly positioned to enjoy the very best of Dorset’s natural beauty. Surrounded by peaceful lakes, woodland trails and open heathland, this is a setting made for slowing down. Mornings begin with birdsong and still water, while afternoons invite paddleboarding, wild swimming or gentle strolls along scenic footpaths. The landscape feels wonderfully tucked away, yet you’re never far from charming villages, cosy pubs and local farm shops.
Just a short drive away, the iconic Jurassic Coast offers dramatic cliffs, fossil-filled beaches and sweeping sea views. Days can be spent exploring Lulworth Cove, walking the coastal paths near Durdle Door or enjoying traditional seaside charm in Weymouth. For those who prefer countryside wandering, rolling Dorset hills and picturesque market towns provide plenty of opportunity to explore at your own pace.
Food lovers are equally well catered for, with excellent country inns, waterside cafés and seafood restaurants showcasing the best of local produce. Whether you’re planning active days outdoors, beach adventures with the family, or simply peaceful evenings watching the sun set over the water, this corner of Dorset offers the perfect balance of relaxation and discovery.
We’re selective about what homes make the collection. Every home is vetted and chosen for its design, its setting, and whether it actually delivers when you walk through the door.
We know rounding everyone up takes time. We can hold any property free for 24 hours while you check with the group. No payment, no commitment, no pressure.
Need a private chef for Saturday night? Help adding guests to a booking or choosing between three houses? Want the hot tub turned on? That’s what we’re here for.
