Buzzards provides the perfect holiday base for experiencing the beauty and unique energy of Dorset.

For thrill-seekers jump aboard the Rib Charter boats or swing through the treetops at the Tunnel, Charmouth.

Happy Travellers
What a lovely apartment! It had everything we needed. The area was very peaceful and having a parking space off road was a bonus. Plenty of places to walk our dogs and the beaches were lovely too. Town only was only about a 2 minute drive with all needs catered for. The owners were very nice and we would definitely recommend

Lovely location and standard of cleanliness superb. Only slight negative is bathroom fan in flat and flat below noisy which is a nuisance especially if used during night.
