Silverlake, located in West Dorset, was formerly the site of RAF Warmwell. Rich in history and nature, the Silverlake Estate is a stunning space with unspoiled grounds, beautiful wildlife and everything the great outdoors has to offer.
Being a family-run Estate, our mission is to give families the opportunity to thrive in nature and create life-long memories. Find out more about the Paxton family.
Our modern country estate provides safe, secure and breath-taking holiday homes, based around calm fresh water lakes and waterways with sweeping views. It’s serenely set in the heart of Thomas Hardy’s Wessex, barely a stone’s throw from the Jurassic Coast, so you can enjoy some downtime from the crazy pace of urban life.
Calm fresh water lakes and waterways with sweeping views.
To help you find your way around the estate, we've created PDF and interactive maps. Use the maps to find all of the best nature walks, the spa, Activity Hub and our favourite cycle routes. You might also find it useful to download our Silverlake app here.

Enjoying a natural habitat
With its rolling hills, protected heathlands and the dramatic UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic coast, it’s no wonder people have long been drawn to holidaying in beautiful Dorset. Silverlake is surrounded by some of Dorset’s hidden gems, including Ringstead Bay, Moreton Forest, Sculpture by the Lakes and The Smuggler’s Inn, a 13th century country pub with sea views, waiting to welcome you in.
Discovering the beauty of Dorset
Silverlake is also the perfect base for exploring some of Dorset’s most alluring attractions, including Sandbanks, Studland Bay, Corfe Castle and Lulworth Cove. For more details on Dorset’s best beaches and our must-see recommendations, have a look at our handy Dorset visitor guide.
Lower Mill Estate
Silverlake has two sister estates, Lower Mill Estate, a lakeside country estate in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park and Birchwood, just outside Barnstaple, close to North Devon’s glorious beaches. All of the estates have been developed under the careful stewardship of our parent company, Habitat First Group.
Lower Mill Estate is the longest running of our three estates and has almost reached completion with over 350 Cotswold holiday homes, a Cotswold spa, soft play, four swimming pools, tennis, MUGA and much more. Whilst the opportunity to build your own home has now come to an end at Lower Mill, holiday homes in the Cotswolds are still for sale through our inhouse agency, Habitat Resales and Cotswold spa holidays can be booked through our official holiday rental company, Habitat Escapes.
Birchwood is currently in its infancy and more exciting news will be available about its development soon.
