They (Domi) were lovely & very helpful from the very first enquiry before we booked. All the way through the process right up to the day before we arrived…..perfect. Thank you

Mr Skelton Castle View Cottage , October 2024

I thought DCH acted exemplary. Nothing was too much trouble for them to very quickly put it right. In the first week they asked us if everythiong was alright. We then contacted them easily about a broken drawer, and it was fixed the next day. In the second week, something else was faulty and they were going to contact the owners about it. Nothing was too much problem for them and things were put right very quicky. They inspired confidence.

Jeremy Gilmore, Forest Lodge, August, August 2023

I have used this company many times over the years along with my family and they have always been great with service. Quick to reply to any queries and very friendly.

Dorset Holiday Cottage

Dorset cottage holidays have become increasingly popular as more people look to explore the most beautiful places across the UK. With stunning scenery and so many things to do, Dorset promises an unforgettable break away. Since the region has avoided major development, it’s managed to retain its charm and beauty whilst offering a relaxed and laid back way of life.

Our Dorset holiday cottages are the perfect base from which to discover the region in all its glory. Most are located nearby to the coast, which means they’re in close proximity to many magnificent beaches. The splendid Jurassic coast has been awarded World Heritage Site status, with spots such as Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door particularly well renowned. Whether you want to enjoy sunbathing, swimming, rock-pooling, or even fossil hunting, you won’t have to look too hard to find a perfect sandy beach.

Of course, superb beaches aren’t all that Dorset has going for it. The region also showcases traditional rural England at its finest. With unspoilt countryside, quaint and picturesque villages, and friendly pubs and inns where you can enjoy the very best local food and drink, you’ll be well catered for.
