Log Cabin in Dorset

About this property

This stylish, contemporary lodge has a delightful tranquil feel about it and makes an excellent holiday base to explore, whatever the season.

The lodge is one of three lodges which have been carefully positioned to ensure your privacy, yet with wonderful views towards the Dorset Gap. Nestled in the rural village of Ansty amid glorious Dorset countryside, these delightful lodges make an excellent holiday base to explore this pretty county whatever the season. Beautifully finished and with uninterrupted views over the lake and on to the surrounding countryside, the lodges are surrounded by Christmas trees to ensure maximum seclusion and have a wonderful "Norwegian" feel about them. Steeped in history, Dorset's landscape of rolling chalk downland and hidden valleys affords wonderful walking, with a network of footpaths directly from the lodge. You will be a couple of minutes' walk to a traditional 250 year old pub which has an inviting bar and restaurant and on site there is a farm shop selling everything from locally produced meat to freshly baked bread and croissants. The area offers a host of pretty and well renowned villages, sandy beaches and the Jurassic coastline which has World Heritage status. The towns of Dorchester, Blandford Forum and Weymouth are easily accessible and there are many attractions including Monkey World, Abbotsbury Swannery, Lulworth Castle to name but a few. Upon entering the lodge, guests will immediately gain a sense of light and space which features throughout the living area. The hallway leads through to the impressive open plan lounge/kitchen/dining room which has been designed to make the most of the countryside views.
