Dorset is a fabulous county which offers some of the best rural landscape, as well as a dramatic coastline. The Jurassic Coast, which stretches from East Devon to Poole, has been declared a World Heritage Site and is a place of true natural beauty where you can discover all manner of fossils as well as the natural wonders such as the iconic arch of Durdle Door, the chalk stacks of Old Harry Rocks as well as the Isle of Purbeck and Portland Bill.

For those with a love of history, venture from your self-catering cottage to the ancient Corfe Castle and Sherborne Old & New Castles and add a royal twist to your Dorset holiday. Any of our holiday lets provide the perfect base from which to explore the sandy shores of Studland Bay or the glorious countryside sprinkled with quaint towns and villages.

Dorset is also a foodie heaven with an abundance of local farmers' markets and cookery schools, as well as plenty of holiday cottages where you can cook up a storm to create holiday favourites. Fish and chips by the sea and picnics in the forests all add up to fun in Dorset.
