    Self-catering holidays in Dorset

    There are many words you can use to describe the majesty of Dorset - scenic, picturesque, utterly beautiful. When thinking of Dorset's rolling hills, craggy cliffs and secret coastline swimming pools, one word springs to mind, and that's 'unspoilt'.

    Dorset is how the English countryside is meant to look. Its days are filled with sunshine, dancing across the top of cobblestones. Its nights are made of the clearest skies, fresh air and the sound of nocturnal birds. Dorset is a family holiday destination in a picture postcard image of England and a place you can never visit just once.

    We want your holidays in Dorset to be as perfect as possible. Whether it's for a short break or a month-long getaway, whatever type of holiday home you're craving, we'll do our best to make it happen. Our selection of cottages in Dorset offers a range of options to suit your needs, from cosy one-bedroom cottages to spacious properties that can accommodate larger groups. Whether you're looking to explore the county's rich cultural heritage, with its historic sites and museums, have a laugh at a comedy club, or simply relax on one of its many beaches, our cottages provide the perfect base for your stay.

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Maureen - Verified booking

      Firstly we loved Lyme Regis.

      However finding the property and key safe situation was a different story. We were not told until we had paid the full price of the holiday about the keysafe situation. We have used Sykes Cottages before and after payment we have been given instructions and the owners number which gives us as seniors peace of mind incase of any problems or difficulties. Your previous properties have been perfect no problems at all and even a welcome pack to greet you not here sadly. The garden isn’t inviting as it looks in the photographs. We were looking forward to using the deckchairs but they were in a poor state tucked up the side of the building.In fact all the garden furniture was in a poor state and it was a lot of money to us what we paid to be disappointed like this. It’s supposed to have a washing machine but it hasn’t that shouldn’t be stated. Yes it states the steps to the bathroom are step but that is a bit of an understatement for health and safety reasons there should be a rail put there.The extraction fan was making terrible noises so we were nervous to use it so refrained and that wasn’t ideal as there is no window in the said bathroom. We didn’t stay the whole term of the holiday we had to return home the bed was so uncomfortable we were suffering with terrible backache. Luckily it was very warm so didn’t require to use the duvet so layed that on the mattress to try and make it a bit more comfortable.

    • Lisa - Verified booking

      We’ve just had a very enjoyable 3 nights at Fig Tree cottage.

      For two adults & a dog it’s a cozy little base, ideally situated right in the heart of Lyme with parking. However, there are a few things which would improve it even more. I would strongly recommend a hand rail into the bathroom. It was no problem for us, as we are able bodied but could be an issue for anyone who wasn’t so mobile. If I’m honest, the lack of Wi-Fi was a problem. If it were to be added to the cottage we would definitely be booking again & recommending to friends & family. Lastly, a better floor mat at the door. The current one is no good at all for wiping feet & dog paws! Over all, a lovely place to stay in our favourite place to visit.

    • The G Family - Verified booking

      It was our absolute privilege to stay at Jerards Stable for two weeks - impeccably appointed in terms of style and comfort and a wonderful base for our stay. The Jerards Estate is a joy to walk around with our dog, who got to know the horses, lama and guinea fowl well. We would recommend Shebourne- a delightful town and the cathedral is a must visit. The Story Pig is very local and wonderful for coffee and Lunch. The Rose and Crown does a wonderful Sunday Roast. Not forgetting the local pub and restaurant, The Mitre for an early evening stroll. Thank you for your hospitality and making us feel so relaxed!

    • The F-Family - Verified booking

      We loved our stay at the cottage, it was so spacious, clean and ‘the welcome pack’ was exceptional. Everything we needed and more. (Loved Nancy’s cookies!) Sarah was so welcoming and helpful.We had some great dog walks, circular walk at Stourhead to King Alfred’s Tower. Beautiful grounds and coffee shop. Duncliffe Wood was perfect for a wet day with walks clearly marked. The cliff top path from West Beach was fabulous, the views breathtaking. Great restaurant/café at Hive Beach. Dogs may need to be on leads as cliff drop near to path. We would definitely recommend La Rose and book again.

    Frequent questions

    • What is the best base for exploring Dorset?

      The town of Dorchester is often considered the best base for exploring Dorset. From there, you can easily visit the Jurassic Coast, including popular spots like Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, as well as historical sites such as Maiden Castle and Thomas Hardy's Cottage. Dorchester itself has a rich history and offers amenities, accommodation options, and transport connections that make it an ideal base for exploring the diverse beauty of Dorset.

    • Is Dorset a good holiday destination?

      Dorset is a fantastic holiday destination offering a diverse range of attractions and activities for visitors to enjoy. From the stunning Jurassic Coast with its picturesque beaches and iconic landmarks like Durdle Door, to charming towns and villages, historical sites, and beautiful countryside, Dorset is well worth a visit. Whether you're interested in coastal walks, exploring historical landmarks, indulging in local cuisine, or simply relaxing in a tranquil setting, Dorset has something for everyone.

    • Do you need a car in Dorset?

      While having a car can be beneficial for exploring the wider areas of Dorset, it is not always necessary, especially if you plan to stay in more central locations or focus on specific attractions. Dorset has a well-connected public transportation system, including buses and trains, which can be used to access many popular destinations. However, if you wish to venture off the beaten path or explore the countryside extensively, having a car can offer more flexibility and convenience.

    • Do you have to pay to go to Durdle Door?

      No, you do not have to pay an entrance fee to visit Durdle Door itself. Durdle Door is a natural limestone arch and beach located along the Jurassic Coast. The site is publicly accessible, and visitors can enjoy the stunning views and explore the beach without any admission charges. However, it's worth noting that parking fees may apply.
