Dorset

You’ll come to wonder at the awe-inspiring Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its jumble of hidden bays, towering cliffs and fossil-filled beaches. You’ll stay for the incredible food and drink in a thriving scene supplied by award-winning producers and growers . From Hambledon Hill Iron Age hill fort to colourful Bridport and chic Sherborne, gentle Dorset makes for a delightful holiday destination. Take a bucket and spade down to Lyme Regis, marvel at Durdle Door’s ancient stone sea arch or walk in Mary Anning’s footsteps along Charmouth Bay. Break up the day of outdoor adventuring with trips to vineyards, pubs and a dizzying array of great eateries. All our places in Dorset have been inspected and selected by our team, who look for character, comfort and owners who will guide you to the best the county has to offer.
