Blissful Breaks on the Dorset Coast

Idyllic getaways in the Dorset countryside

Dorset Dorset holidays offer the best of the English coast and country. Quintessentially English villages nestle among a patchwork of small fields, where wildlife thrives and the connection to the landscape is as natural as life itself. The astonishing beauty of the Dorset coastline and the peace of the countryside cannot be replicated, and although leaving a Dorset holiday property is always hard, a Dorset holiday will always leave you feeling relaxed and refreshed.

The Dorset coastline is remarkable. With every corner, a new inspirational sight will fill your eyes, from Chesil Beach to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door to St Aldhelm's Head, Old Harry to Poole Harbour, and you could not be better placed to experience it all than from a Dorset coastal cottage. Water sports absolutely thrive from Dorset coastal cottages too, with Poole Harbour and Studland Bay being among the west coast's top sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing and coastal walking destinations. The 200 million year old fossils of the Jurassic Coast are not to be missed from a self catering Dorset coastal cottage either.

Dorset has changed little since the times of Thomas Hardy, when artists, poets and writers flocked to Dorset cottages and the Dorset coastline for inspiration. It is easy to see why these men and women escaped to Dorset cottages for their inspiration as the countyside is truly stunning. Small fields give way to wild heathlands, carved by chalk streams in which trout thrive and fishermen peacefully patrol the banks. To this day, the countryside plays a huge part in self catering Dorset holiday, as almost every outdoor activity can be enjoyed to the highest standard, from walking to horse riding, fishing to golf, and after a long days activity, there are a great range of Dorset spas and pubs in which to recuperate and relax before heading home to your own little haven of peace, a self catering Dorset holiday property.
