Blue Pool and Tea House
Now that you are back in Dorset, you can take a trip to the Blue Pool and Tea House. The tea house was built back in 1935 and is one of the well known places to sit back and enjoy a cup of special English tea. The tea house is situated just a short distance away from the Dorset holiday cottages. The Blue Pool is one of the highlights of the tea house. This pool is special in that it changes colour from turquoise to green due to the presence of fine clay in the water. This is because of the rays of light that pass through the water in the pool. The tea house was built with sand and lime brick and blends excellently with the surroundings. The Blue Pool and Tea House is a great place to enjoy a nice hot cup of tea or coffee if you are staying at the holiday cottage. You can also go there for a nice snack and a cup of tea. A cup of hot coffee and some freshly baked scones is great to get you started on your day. You can also enjoy a delicious lunch here while staying at one of the Dorset holiday cottages. This tea house is pet-friendly; however, you will need to keep the dog on a lead at all times.
