    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

    • Mrs Boud - Verified booking

      Herbert's Place was a lovely property. The decor was very smart, clean and 'seasidey.' The kitchen was well equipped. There was even a steamer which is very rare in holiday lets. Good washing line for drying swimming stuff! Comfortable beds and peaceful location close to the town centre and sea. Great little courtyard with a shelter awning over the table and chairs if needed. All the crockery and cooking utensils seemed new, and in very good condition, as were the furnishings. Quality Bosch cooker and hob, and very new dishwasher too. The parking space is a real bonus in Swanage. But you don't need a car once you're there. Short walk into town, paths to Durlston, and along the coast. And from the town there's the steam train to Corfe Castle. We'd recommend the Breezer buses too. Wrap up warm though on the top deck if you are coming back later!

    • Janice - Verified booking

      Very good location up a quiet lane.

      The property is very comfortable and spotless. The kitchen looks new and has everything needed for self catering if your preference is to eat out there are a number of local pubs we can recommend the Owls nest only an easy mile away. The outside space is generous and private. Plenty of shade and chairs on offer also fire pit.Solar lights outside create evening atmosphere to enjoy your favourite tipple. Finally Netty and Barry are helpful and fun to talk to and be with we would recommend foxes den for a nice holiday break.

    • Miss Brett - Verified booking

      Gorgeous little house and garden. The kitchen is equipped with all the utensils you could need to cook and the herbs in the garden were a fantastic touch! As were the many books and board games around the house. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a great size, and the whole house is spotlessly clean. The house is a short (5) minute walk down hill to the town. I only have positive things to say about our stay here and would recommend to anyone and may even return myself.

      Beautiful

      A peaceful and beautifully presented cottage. One of the nicest we’ve ever stayed in. Perfectly located in the countryside and yet just steps away from Wimborne. It was a bonus to have the use of unlimited wood for the log burner and all the lovely food gifts and toiletries. There was a real generosity to us as guests. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

    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.
