Silvermere sits at the heart of the Silverlake Estate, a pioneering eco-community near Dorchester that has transformed a former quarry into a haven of lakes, heathland and sustainable living. The estate offers guests access to an outstanding range of shared facilities designed for rest, recreation and reconnection with nature.
At its centre, the Hurricane Spa provides an outdoor heated pool, sauna, roof terrace and state-of-the-art gym, with complimentary spa access passes included for guests staying at Silvermere (treatments are extra). The nearby Hurricane Terrace & Bar serves locally sourced drinks and light bites overlooking the lake, while the Hurricane Pop-Up dining space offers relaxed, seasonal food across weekends — from breakfast to pizza nights by the water.
The Activity Hub caters to all ages and energy levels, with equipment hire available for paddleboarding, kayaking, cycling, tennis and more. Younger guests can join children’s activities such as football coaching and nature trails, while adults might prefer guided walks through the reserve or quiet moments along the reed-lined boardwalks. With its traffic-free lanes, open water and wildlife, the estate encourages life at a slower, more mindful pace.
Though the setting feels far removed from the everyday, Silverlake enjoys an enviable location at the heart of Dorset. The market town of Dorchester is just 15 minutes away, offering restaurants, boutiques, museums and mainline rail links to London Waterloo. Beyond, the Jurassic Coast — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — is within easy reach. Spend your days exploring Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, wandering the cliffs of Ringstead Bay, or relaxing on the beaches of Weymouth and Studland.
Closer to home, you’ll find a selection of excellent country pubs and eateries including The Black Dog Inn in Broadmayne and The Wise Man Inn in West Stafford, both known for local produce and welcoming atmospheres. The village of Moreton, just a short drive away, offers walled gardens, a peaceful riverside café and a station with direct train connections to Dorchester, Weymouth, Poole, Bournemouth and London.
Whether your idea of the perfect break is a morning paddle across the lake, a family bike ride through the woods, or a quiet evening by the fire, Silvermere offers a stay that’s both restorative and refined — a rare balance of luxury, nature and togetherness.
