Midnight Magic

About this property

A sleek Cotswold Barn set within the lakeside serenity of the Dorset coast, ideal for large groups, sleeping up to eleven guests comfortably.

Drink in the view with this stunning glass-fronted property sat right on the waterfront with private balconies and decking aplenty, Midnight Magicoffers sleek, stylish design both inside and out.  Spanning the width of the property are triple bi-fold doors that allow you to step in and out of the expansive open plan living area.  The ground floor boasts a well-equipped kitchen and dining area with everything you will need to host a large group.  Brew a coffee from the machine and catch-up over the breakfast bar with a morning croissant.  Recline on the comfortable sofas by the warmth of the wood burning stove whilst the younger members of the group occupy themselves in the games area complete with chess board and board games.   The large dining table is the perfect spot to enjoy a group dinner whilst enjoying the tranquil peace of the lake outside.

On the first floor you will find the master suite with king size bed, ensuite walk in shower and access to a balcony where you can take your morning coffee whilst surveying the local birdlife. This balcony can also be accessed by a further double bedroom with bunk bed and pull-out single bed.  A family bathroom on this floor is shared by all.  The top floor is an excellent space with a large twin bedroom, a double room and another family bathroom to share.  

The lakeside aspect of Midnight Magic can be enjoyed to its fullest with the property’s own private garden area leading to the lakeside jetty.  Why not take a picnic on the shores of the water in the afternoon sun?  Or for a little more privacy the property-length decking is a spectacular space to fire up the BBQ with plenty of breakout areas for large groups to mingle and relax together.

Nestled in the rural beauty of West Dorset in the tranquil calm of this countryside estate guests will have plenty of opportunity to blow off steam and relax.  There is something for everyone at the Silverlake activity hub from tennis courts to paddle boarding, whilst those looking to relax and unwind can head for a restorative swim and sauna at the shared pool and spa.  Surrounded by the Dorset heathlands, where in the summer wild ponies roam, the house is within reaching distance of the stunning Jurassic Coastline and its glorious beaches, the perfect spot to enjoy all the county has to offer.

The Silverlake country estate offers luxury accommodation in the peace and calm of the freshwater lakes and sweeping countryside views that surround it.  Rest, revive and recharge at the Hurricane Spa by reclining in the heated infinity pool after enjoying a massage or facial in one of the treatment rooms.  Take in the surrounding beauty of the idyllic lakeside views from the spa’s own private beach or blow off steam in state-of the art gym. 

The property’s proximity to the neighbouring lakes means it will be hard to entice yourself away from the water, with kayaks, paddleboards and fishing aplenty.  For those who prefer to stay on dry land why not zip wire over the water instead?  Or grab a bike and take the family off for beautiful bike ride on the wider estate stopping off for a picnic in a tranquil spot whilst nature spotting the local birds and wildlife.

The beautiful county of Dorset is a popular tourist spot, an area known for its rolling dales, protected heathlands and breath-taking unesco-heritage Jurassic coastline. The property is within reaching distance of fabulous beaches, including the beautiful shingle Ringsted Bay, which at low tide reveals a wide expanse of sand.  It is the perfect beach for quiet and calm surrounded by neighbouring farmlands.   For those who like to get out and explore the stunning countryside, we recommend a visit to Moreton Forest with a range of tree-filled walks amongst the towering conifers.   

A trip to the Smuggler’s Inn, a historic 13th Century pub with unbeatable sea views of the Isle of Portland is an absolute must with an excellent selection of ales to sample and delicious food, the perfect spot for a pitstop after a lovely scenic stroll.

If you’re looking to take in the area’s fascinating history then you won’t be disappointed with the thousand-year-old Corfe Castle, a majestic ruin established by William the Conqueror, just a short drive away.   Fans of Thomas Hardy can visit Dorchester’s Dorset Museum which houses the largest Hardy Collection in the world, bequeathed by his wife Florence.  Just thirty minutes away, is the picturesque town of Poole, here you can hop on a ferry and visit neighbouring islands or soak up the sunrays on the near-by golden beaches at Sandbanks and Bournemouth.  A visit to the colourful Lighthouse Arts Centre offers art exhibitions, theatre and film then why not finish off the day with some locally caught fish and chips on the beach.

Other close-by towns which are well worth a visit include the charming county town of Weymouth with its recognisable Georgian seafront and the lively market towns of Bridport and Lyme Regis. The famous Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch, is just a twenty-minute car journey away and is a must-visit while in the area.
