    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

    • Julie - Verified booking

      We stayed here for 4 nights, 2 adults and 2 kids (8 & 6) and our dog.

      It's a lovely little cottage and was so clean and we were treated with a lovely welcome pack with tea coffee and biscuits etc which was such a nice touch. The kitchen has everything we needed including washing up liquid/ cleaning sprays etc. The bedrooms were very clean and comfortable with plenty of wardrobe/drawer space to store clothes etc. The only 2 things i would say that i would change about this property was, the living room only had one 2 seater sofa and 2 single wooden chairs, unlike the photos which show two 2 seater sofas and 2 wooden chairs. For a family of 4 we didn't feel one small 2 seater sofa was enough, especially as my husband is over 6 foot and took up practically the whole sofa. I'd probably swap the 2 wooden chairs for another 2 seater sofa to make it a bit more cosy. The second thing is that the listing states that the property had an 'enclosed garden'. Which it does have, but the fence at the top of the garden is only about 15cm tall, so when letting my dog out in the garden for the first time, I was quite surprised to look up and see him looking at me excitedly from the next door garden! Thankfully he has excellent recall so came straight back on command, but for anyone with young kids or dogs more than a few inches tall, there's not a lot to stop kids and dogs going over to the next door garden. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here, and found the 5 minute drive to charmouth beach really handy, also a 5 minute drive to Lyme Regis bitg both of which had plenty of parking.

    • Trevor - Verified booking

      On arrival we found the Chalet was presented in a pleasant manner.

      On using the kitchen we found it to be very claustraphobic with a counter top freezer with a micro wave oven sitting on the top taking up a third of the already limited work space. On sitting down on the sofa we found dirty used tissues that had been stuffed down the side cushions. On unpacking our supplies we found that all the cupboards were full of equipment and seemed to be stocked for 8 to 10 people. The fridge did not have a bulb which made it awkward to see inside. The TV service kept switching off every so often. On going upstairs we found there was no rail on the right side, ( being 75 and 72 we found this a little worrying as to safety. We found dirty tissues ( which we have left ) under the head end of the bed. We could not open the shylight and it was very dirty. Whilst reading the welcome book it stated that NO VISITORS WERE ALLOWED. What we could not work out was why there was enough cutlery and glasses and crockery for 12 people. Having no dishwasher the used crockery etc had to be washed up .when used.. We have holidayed at Fernhill since 1990 ish and have stayed in different Chalets. The site seems to now be occupied by owners and is not in the best upkeep that it could be. Lyme Bay staff were again outstanding. There to help in all cases 10 out of 10. We have photos of all our concerns, we would stay at Fernhill again but not at No 44.

    • Naomi - Verified booking

      The house was well equipped and in a really nice location.

      It was helpful that the Lyme Bay Holidays caretaker could come promptly to sort out the problem that we had with the taps. It would have been much better if the cleaner or someone local could have turned on the immersion heater the day before we arrived or even the morning that day. It wasn't so nice to arrive to no hot water and then it was quite difficult to find the instructions and figure out how to turn on the switch in the cupboard. We had a 5 hour drive with lots of traffic, so were quite tired and just wanted a hot shower. There seems to be some issue with the plumbing that the tap upstairs on the shower / bath jammed up, so we couldn't get anything out of the tap. And then when we used the hot water tap downstairs for washing up, the water came in fits and starts, suddenly spraying out and then stopping for a bit. This was fairly consistent through the 4 days we were there. The downstairs shower was fine to use with enough pressure, once the immersion heater had been turned on over night for there to be enough water. I think if there were some more clear instructions in the guest book about the hot water that would be better. Overall we had a nice holiday, the terrace was nice, and the kitchen was well furnished. Thank you for hosting us. (It is up to you how much of this you want to publish online, I don't mind)

    • Mrs Scutt - Verified booking

      We had a fantastic stay at Hillcrest. Great location short walk from town, handy hints at a shortcut in the book inside the house. Such a well equipped property with everything you need and more for an easy and comfortable stay. We travelled with two small children and a small dog, great garden for them all to have a run in, the twin room was so cosy, ideal for the kids who also liked the novelty of having a TV in their room! (Would be just as comfortable for adults) The beach hut was a fantastic extra and worth every penny. Would recommend a stay here to anyone looking for a relaxed and comfortable stay in Swanage.

    • Mrs Silvia Stocker - Verified booking

      We felt utterly cosy and at home in this very clean and very tastefully furnished cottage. The garden is lovely especially with a dog. Lorraine keeps the house very tidy and you can always rely on her if problems should come up. Thank you for the welcome pack. Much appreciated ! The fact that there is no sea view is the only negative point for us to mention. However there are so many wonderful walks up the hill towards the sea where you have the most wonderful sight over the whole area. With a splendid weather over eastertime we spent two wonderful weeks at Hillcrest. We would recommend Hillcrest any time.

    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.
