Lakeside Lodge for 8 in Crossways

This 4-bedroom group lodge is a lakeside holiday home set within a nature reserve near Crossways, Dorset. Sleeping eight guests across four bedrooms, it's a solid pick for groups wanting waterside views, outdoor space and easy access to the Dorset coast. The private jetty gives direct access to the lake and is something you won't find at most group properties.

The setting is genuinely special. You're within a nature reserve with lake views from almost every angle. The park itself has a spa, watersports on the lake, a secluded beach and a rooftop bar all on your doorstep.

The lodge has four bedrooms: a master double with en-suite, a roomy second double with en-suite and balcony access, a compact double and a bunk bedroom. There are three bathrooms plus a downstairs WC. The open-plan living area seats eight at the dining table with a wood burner, kitchen island and sliding doors to the rear deck.

Lulworth Cove is 10 miles away (20 mins). Dorchester is 6 miles (12 mins). Weymouth's sandy beach is 10 miles (20 mins). Maiden Castle is 9 miles (18 mins).

This rental works brilliantly for groups of eight who want lakeside living, a private jetty, on-site watersports and the Jurassic Coast within easy reach.
