Peace and Love

About this property

Peace and Love lives up to its name offering endless opportunity throughout this sleek well designed home to take in the stunning lakeside surroundings.   One of the most impressive, sustainably built properties on the estate, this is a wonderful place to getaway with friends or extended family with room to sleep up to 11 guests in luxurious comfort.

It will be hard to choose your favourite spot to relax and unwind in, but you’ll have fun deciding.  Starting with the ground floor, you might set up camp in the sun-filled, spacious kitchen dining area.  This sleek well-designed space boasts wall-to-wall glass windows and sliding doors allowing you to take your evening meal from the ten-seater dining table to the outdoor decking, the perfect spot for large groups to socialise in style.  Perhaps you might prefer to take a glass of chilled wine to the first floor living area featuring floor to ceiling windows and a cosy wood-burning stove to observe the picturesque lake from the best position.  With access to a large balcony and outdoor seating it’s easy to step outside and enjoy the last summer rays and evening air.  The children won’t feel left out as on this floor has their own private chill-out area with a cosy playroom equipped with flat-screen TV.  If this isn’t enough the top floor offers a spectacular mezzanine area with vaulted ceilings and cosy sofas.

Crisp white linens are provided, with both a twin and king bedroom with en-suites on the ground floor, whilst two further double bedrooms (that can be split into twins) can be found on the first floor, both benefiting from en-suite bath or shower rooms and Juliette balcony.  The cosy playroom also has a pull-out sofa bed.  Fans of penthouse living will bask in the sunny, vaulted ceilings of the master-suite, with king bed, en-suite bathroom and shower, perfectly placed to pad to the mezzanine sofa area to watch the wildlife with your morning coffee.

Just a stone’s throw from the local amenities, Peace and Love is perfectly situated in the lakeside spot of this luxury estate nestled in the rural beauty of West Dorset.  There is something for everyone at the activity hub from tennis courts, bikes, canoes, paddle boards and kayaks.  Or 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 house’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 house 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.
