Rowan Cottage

Rowan Cottage is a beautifully presented timber clad home, with an enclosed garden, that welcomes up to four adults, two children and two dogs. Situated on the exclusive Silverlake nature reserve estate near the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, the cottage is in easy walking distance of a swimming lake with beach and pontoon, various children’s play areas, cycle trails and nature trails. Also available on site is an outdoor heated swimming pool, cold water plunge pool, restaurant and luxury spa.

When you arrive at Rowan Cottage, the combination of muted colours, natural wood furnishings and coastal inspired decor, provides an immediate feeling of calm and peace; the perfect home-from-home escape.

The ground floor features a warm and welcoming open plan kitchen/living/dining area together with a ground floor cloakroom/shower room.

The living area provides comfortable seating for up to six guests including a reclining sofa and chair, perfect for relaxing in front of the smart TV and the wood-burning stove.

The dining area seats up to 6 guests on leather upholstered chairs and benefits from expansive bifolding doors that provide direct access and views of the lawned garden and timber decks.

The kitchen features everything you might need for a self-catering stay including an induction hob, large oven, tall fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, Krups Nespresso coffee machine and a washer/dryer.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from a super-king size bed, fitted wardrobe with chest of drawers, separate dressing table and an en-suite shower room. Bedroom 2 has a king-size bed with built in wardrobe with shelving and Bedroom 3 is a bunk bedroom which also includes a pull out trundle bed for occasional use by a child. The family bathroom includes a shower over bath.

Outside there is a fenced garden to the rear of the property, accessed from the living/dining area, which features two decked areas. The dining deck has a table with parasol that seats six and there is a charcoal Weber BBQ provided for guests to use during the summer season.

The parking area is accessed from the rear of the property along a gravel path which runs alongside the garden. There is parking for two cars and a TWR EV charger with cables, which is operated via a QR code. Guests can access the fenced area of the garden directly from the parking area through a small cottage gate.

A travel cot and a highchair are available for guest use. Please advise at time of booking if you require these to be made available for your stay.

Bikes, paddleboards and kayaks can be hired onsite for 2 hour sessions. Bike Hire can also be arranged for the duration of your stay through Curated Cottages (delivered to Rowan Cottage and collected after the hire period).

These items do incur a minimal extra charge.
