The best locations in Dorset
Finding cottages in Dorset is easy – the hard part is whittling down the locations. From countryside to coastal and everything in between, this little slice of haven has lots of fantastic areas to tempt you.
Bournemouth
Best for? A seaside trip
Our top property pick: Chapel Lodges
It’s vibrant, colourful and full of character. Whether you’re looking to base yourself in Bournemouth or just want to visit for the day, heading to this stretch of Dorset coast is sure to please the whole group. Shopping, theatre, arts, music and entertainment – there’s always something going on and there’s plenty of dog-friendly sands and walking trails meaning no-one has to miss out on the fun and games. While it does get busy in peak periods, if you’re in search of something a little lively with an evening scene that goes on way after dark, this is a great choice.
Poole
Best for? Beautiful views
Our top property pick: Branksome Wood House
Famous for its beautiful harbour and golden beaches, Poole is ideal for a romantic break. Spend a morning by the water before heading into the Old Town to take a look at the local architecture and museum. After lunch, why not take the boat from the harbour and head to Brownsea Island – which is home to woodland trails and lots of wildlife. Here, you’ll also find a 16th century castle as well as coastal and countryside views. This isn’t the only reason that visitors flock to Poole though, as it also has an upcoming foodie scene that will definitely get you talking.
Dorchester
Best for? Something a little quieter
Our top property pick: Sunny Croft
Dorset is one of our favourite staycation destinations in the UK but it can get quite busy. For this reason, you might want to stay somewhere like Dorchester as it makes for a great base for exploring everything that the wider region has to offer. As a historic market town, the area is steeped in history, heritage and culture and it also sits on the River Frome meaning there’s lots of opportunity for exploration. After a day out and about, there really is no better feeling than heading back to your hot tub lodge though.
Weymouth
Best for? Beach lovers
Our top property pick: Samphire at Middle Acre
Often recognised as one of the best beach destinations in Europe, it’s no surprise that Weymouth is a popular choice for families, couples and groups of friends. Here, you’ll find everything you’d expect from a traditional seaside town – even down to the colorful beach huts. As well as lots of shops, bars and restaurants, there’s also plenty of family-friendly attractions including Weymouth Sealife Park and the Jurassic Skyline – a revolving viewing tower. If you can pull yourself away from the town, there’s a causeway that takes you to Portland Island which is home to a historical lighthouse and lots of local wildlife.
Bridport
Best for? A little bit of everything
Our top property pick: The Skilling
Combining the best of the rural countryside with beautiful coastal views, Bridport makes for a great trip away. It’s a lively market town that’s home to independent shops, galleries, arts, culture and family-friendly activities. It’s also ideally located in rural Dorset for those who want to get their heart racing in the great outdoors. The holiday accommodation here is just as varied too with historical houses, apartments, barn conversions and coach houses all being up for grabs.
