Dorset country cottages

Holiday cottages in rural Dorset

If you’re looking for a countryside holiday, Dorset is a brilliant choice. Surrounded by the rolling countryside of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you can get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and surround yourself in the tranquillity of nature. Dorset is one of the few counties without a motorway and many sections have been undeveloped, so you’ll have plenty of space to roam the countryside and explore the traditional towns and villages in this rural idyll of a county. Many of our rural Dorset cottages are on working farms, so you can learn more about countryside living and make friends with the resident animals!

Our Dorset rural cottages offer the perfect base for a countryside retreat surrounded by nature. On our country cottage holidays, you can relax in comfort and style with views over rolling fields, light the wood burner in winter or enjoy a large garden BBQ in the summer, with nothing and no one around to disturb you. Some even have beautiful thatched rooves. If you fancy exploring further afield, you could explore Durlston Country Park and National Nature Reserve, several RSPB nature reserves, or wander the Golden Cap Estate.
