Browse our range of self-catering cottages, offering everything from dog-friendly properties to holiday homes-from-home by the sea.

Why visit Dorset?

A visit to Dorset will undoubtedly be one to remember. The beautiful county in the South West of England has some of the best beaches in the UK; awe-inspiring activities and attractions to enjoy and a history that is unrivalled by many.

Things to do in Dorset:

We have a range of cottages that are close to the World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast for bucket and spade holidays and fossil hunting. There are plenty of beaches to explore along the coastline, while the iconic red and white stripes of Portland Bill Lighthouse on the Isle of Portland and wonderful ancient landmarks such as Corfe Castle and Brownsea Island are all well worth a visit.

Why stay in a Dorset cottage?

Our range of Dorset holiday cottages is vast and includes cottages of many sizes from self-catering coastal properties that are perfect for couples, to large houses for groups of friends or big families, via luxury cottages with hot tubs. Located across Dorset in the countryside and on the coast, our choice of accommodation is fantastic.

Three must see things in Dorset:

• You can’t visit Dorset without seeing Durdle Door; a stunning natural limestone arch on the Jurassic Coast
• Owned by the National Trust, Corfe Castle is one of Britain's most iconic survivors of the English Civil War
• Head to the steep cobbled street of Gold Hill in Shaftesbury and we bet you’ll recognise it from classic Hovis adverts
