Yurt

Our traditional handmade yurt is the perfect spot for a lazy afternoon playing board games, telling stories, reconnecting with loved ones and making new friends around the log burning stove.

The Island

Tucked away amongst the untouched foliage of the Warmwell Heathland, The Island is a safe haven for the whole family. The secluded spot encourages children to run free and adults to be at one with nature. Read a gripping novel or take a dip in the refreshing eco-pool whilst the children climb, slide and zip through the trees. Then build a campfire, toast some marshmallows together and let the little ones relax in our forest tipi. When ready to set off again, follow one of many bicycle routes and walking trails leading to adventures new.

On the Water

For fun and frolics with a harmonious natural backdrop, explore the myriad of beautiful lakes at Silverlake. Drift, splash and race along with canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and sailing boats, pausing to catch the sounds of the great British countryside. Look out for our resident wild ponies who like to cool off at the water’s edge.

Tennis & MUGA Court

With a beautiful view over Beaumont Lake, the tennis court and 3G artificial turf multi-use games area (MUGA) in Beaumont Village offer the perfect spot for a quick knock-about or an entertaining game of five-a-side football with family and friends. For a quick dip afterwards, the spa is right next door.

Outer Heath

A wonderful place for wildlife spotting, the lowland heath supports a wide range of plants, insects, birds and animals. Our own Site of Nature Conservation Interest (SNCI) is an important habitat for wildlife conservation, as is Warmwell Heath in the far distance, with Special Protected Area status. Small herds of sika deer often shelter in The Hollow and graze quietly on the heath. The peaceful landscape also attracts birds such as the song thrush, tree pipit, green woodpecker, linnet and nightjar.

Coastline

The dramatic Jurassic coastline is full of wonders, from the white pebble beach of Lulworth Cove to the iconic arch of Durdle Door. Head to Sandbanks for watersports and sailing or stomp around the sweeping golden beach, dunes and heathland at Studland. Kimmeridge Bay is said to have inspired the novels of Enid Blyton and there are endless nostalgic memories to be made, with surfing, windsurfing, swimming, snorkelling, rock-pooling, crabbing and a small aquarium.

Family Attractions

Meet the primates at Monkey World or get mucky at the Dorset Waterpark, with its assault course, mud trail and wet and wild inflatables. Pass a rainy day at the indoor Tank Museum in Bovington or pop along to the seaside Nothe Fort in Weymouth. Or why not feed the alpacas, take riding lessons or wander around the Victorian garden at Kingston Maurward.

The Classics

The picturesque, breezy coastal town of Poole is just 30 minutes east of Silverlake, or head inland to the market town of Dorchester to experience its combination of rich history and trendy new shops, eateries and watering holes in Brewery Square. A short drive from Silverlake, Weymouth attracts day-trippers with its long sandy beach and grand Georgian seafront. Bridport was once a hub for the rope making industry and still has specialist rope and fishing shops lining the streets, as well as a number of historical buildings dating back to the 18^th century. An hour from Silverlake, Lyme Regis is known as the pearl of Dorset, with top-notch restaurants and cafes set under a backdrop of iconic cliffs.

National Trust Must-Sees

In Dorchester, Max Gate was once the home Dorset’s most famous author and poet Thomas Hardy. Although few of his possessions remain, the house is nevertheless atmospheric and full of Victorian paraphernalia. Kingston Lacy is a treasure trove of artworks, with a colourful floral garden sure to delight throughout spring and summer.  In Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island is famous for its red squirrels and served as the very first campsite for the Scouts in 1907.

Eat & Drink

Head to the Smugglers Inn at Osmington Mills for cliff top views along the South West Coastal Path – it has a roaring fire in winter and a garden in the summer. The Wise Man in West Stafford serves rustic gastro cuisine and is close to Hardy’s Cottage. Named after the famous Dorset cheese, The Blue Vinney in Puddletown has a few local ones worth trying. Or push the boat at out The Crab House Café in Weymouth, renowned for its fresh catch, Portland Crab and Oysters.

Historic Attractions

Dorset is steeped in history and there are many fascinating attractions within easy reach of Silverlake. Tyneham, often referred to as Dorset’s ‘lost’ village, was evacuated in 1943 and has been deserted ever since. You can see some of the original buildings and find out what the village used to be like. Many of Silverlake’s surrounding villages and pubs were used in Thomas Hardy’s novels and the county town of Dorchester is home to Shire Hall, where the Tolpuddle Martyrs were held before their trial.
