Our holiday home is a newly built (Nov 2019) south-facing, 4/5 bedroom waterfront house with a living roof, set in the heart of the beautiful Dorset countryside.
Situated in a quiet, relaxing location, surrounded by nature and lots of wildlife on the doorstep (Otters, geese, deer, swans and wild ponies that graze a few metres on the other side of the water).
Onsite there is a lovely spa, cafe and heated outdoor pool (we have membership cards you can use for free access), wild swimming, fishing and boating lakes. A playground for younger ones and an adventure playground in the woods with zip wire over the lake for older kids. Lots of walking and biking tracks in the immediate vicinity.
The ultimate place to relax and re-connect with family and friends!
The space
1 x King, 1 x double, 2 x twin rooms and 1 on the ground floor which is a play/games/ separate TV room with sofa bed -so doubles up as a double bedroom. There are 4 bathrooms (2 x ensuite, 1 main family bathroom and one shower room on the ground floor next to the games room). Large kitchen/dining/sitting room and fabulous views of the countryside and lakes.
We also have another property in London! Check out our listing https://peoplelikeus.world/properties/11226

Notes
As the house is normally a holiday let, there is an onsite management and cleaning company that routinely services the property after each stay. Therefore, we ask that guests pay a fee of £160 toward Cleaning, linen & towels in advance of their stay.

We are a family of 5 (3 kids aged 11, 9 & 5)
Charlie runs a local brewery and Tasha works within holistic health
Back in 2022 we spent 6 months travelling the world and have stayed in some wonderful home exchanges.
Not looking to go anywhere again just yet but hoping to start making plans soon!
Once we start exchanging again we will, as always, be respectful of your property and keep it clean, treating as if it were our own.
People Like Us is the world's most trusted home exchange community. We believe in sharing, trust, generosity, respect, communication, equality, cooperation, honesty, hospitality, friendship, flexibility and adventure. We take pride in our homes and we care about the environment in which we live: our village, city, country and our planet. We care about the ethos of home exchange and we do it because we love the experience and the friendships that it generates.
