Dock Holiday, sleeping eight plus two, is a beautifully furnished New England style retreat set within the gated community of The Landings. Situated in landscaped surroundings overlooking a stunning 114 acre sailing and fishing lake, it's perfect for an adventurous family holiday or special celebration, with water sports, walking and cycling on tap.
The pretty clapper board-style exterior and fantastic setting make a brilliant first impression and the decked area providing plenty of space for sitting out and uninterrupted lake views comes a close second.
Furnished to a high standard, Dock Holiday offers a spacious open plan living area with a bespoke fully fitted kitchen, dining and lounge area with lake views. Wall to ceiling glass windows and patio doors open onto a large private deck with outdoor furniture, a gas barbecue and jetty.
There are four double bedrooms, one of which is on the ground floor. Three of the bedrooms have 5’ zip and link beds that can be converted into twin beds if required. There is a steep ship style ladder within bedroom 4 which leads to a small mezzanine/loft area with a low ceiling and 2 x 3' singles or a 6' double bed, suitable for older children/teenagers. There are three bathrooms, including a shower room on the ground floor, which is ideal if returning from any water sports.
