The Country View

Perfect for family holidays in the country that aren't too far from the city, this bright modern home has much to admire. Its sleek open plan interiors are elevated by thoughtful touches, including a log burning fire, a welcome pack, and two passes for the on-site spa. Upstairs you'll have a choice of three bedrooms (though little ones may bag the bunk bed), while outdoors you'll find your own private hot tub. Though some neighbouring homes are still under construction, the holiday village this home is part of has some premier facilities, including a shared pool and tennis court. You'll also be less than half an hour from the south coast, in reach of Weymouth and other charming harbour towns.

Home truths:
*Construction work is ongoing in the area around the home, between 7.30am and 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm Saturday. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay.
*Your host takes care with the hot tub here, and it can take time to warm up. It'll be fully ready for you by your second night.
*While the third bedroom (with bunk beds) isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*There’s free parking for one car on the driveway.
*You'll have access to the on-site pool, spa and tennis court here. They're shared with the village's other residents.
