Location
Silverlake is a privately owned nature reserve holiday home estate between Weymouth and Dorchester, in easy reach of the Jurassic Coast and its beaches and attractions. Silverlake has acres of natural land to explore, an abundance of wildlife and freshwater lakes for swimming and water-sports.
In addition to an outdoor heated pool, spa and restaurant there are nature trails, cycle trails, a multi-purpose activity court, tennis and table tennis on site. There is also a sand beach at Beaumont Lake with freshwater swimming and a pontoon on the lake. Plenty to keep family and friends occupied whatever the season. Please note the pool, spa, restaurant, tennis and multi purpose activity courts require booking in advance. Water-sports equipment and bikes can be hired for an additional cost on site at Silverlake (no advance booking available) or booked in advance through Curated Cottages.
Although there is plenty to keep you occupied at Silverlake, the area around is worth exploring. Consider visiting the historic city of Dorchester famous for Thomas Hardy's birthplace, hiking the South West coast path, visiting Portland Bill lighthouse or enjoying hunting for fossils in some of the Jurassic Coast coves. There are many beaches within a few miles of Bulrushes, including the safe and shallow Weymouth beach, the natural pebble beach at Ringstead Bay, the dramatic scenery of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, or the expansive Chesil beach near Portland.
