Kirrin Barn

Silverlake Estate in Dorset is a real find for families in search of a fun-filled country getaway. Guests will find themselves surrounded by nature with ancient woodlands, lakes, and hedgerows, all brimming with wildlife. From Dartmoor ponies to Sika Deer, Otters, and an array of birds, the estate is full of wonders and that’s before we’ve even mentioned the heated infinity pool, rooftop bar, spa, choice of activities, seasonal pizza yurt and lake beach! It’s a real haven, where guests can combine nature with luxury facilities and contemporary, family-friendly accommodation.

Active families will find themselves spoiled for choice when it comes to what to do. There are a plethora of activities on offer from boating to fishing, cycle routes, walking footpaths, and watersports. ‘The Island’ is always a big hit with children as it’s a fantastic play area with a zip wire, games area, tennis court, and adventure playground. Those in search of a well-deserved rest will find the estate spa a real draw. It’s the ultimate place to relax and unwind. From the tranquil treatment rooms scented with essential oils to the sauna and fabulous rooftop hot tubs and bar, both of which are perfect for soaking up the views. The bar even offers a choice of small plates and snacks which are great for a quick feed after a busy day on the lake. The onsite gym is a great addition for those so inclined, but with hundreds of acres of countryside to explore, guests may find they get more than enough exercise simply exploring!

Despite its rural setting, the estate is only a short drive from the bustling towns of Dorchester and Weymouth, whilst the Jurassic coast can be reached in under half an hour. Perfect for families looking to explore the region, a stay at the estate combines rural tranquillity with contemporary, architect-designed accommodation and fantastic facilities akin to those at a five-star hotel! Each house varies in size, with options for both large group holidays and small family getaways. It’s also perfect for groups of friends looking to holiday together but each has their own space. We really couldn’t picture a more idyllic place to escape to the country for a few days, relax, unwind, and spend some quality family time!
