Absolutely Awesome, fantastic location and facilities

S Stewert Sea Tower Apr 2026, April 2026

I called to check payment and booking. Not sure who I spoke with but the lady was very friendly and helpful.

Debbie Brand , April 2026

Excellent service. Readily available to speak to. Polite and friendly

K Fuller March 2026, March 2026

A really lovely holiday home, perfect for my needs. Lovely hot shower and a good welcome pack with instructions for the property. Definitely a bonus to have off road parking. Weather not good enough to use the outside patio but I’m sure it would be a sun trap in the summer. The owner of the property was also very helpful and welcoming. Well located for the coastal path and Swanage town. I would definitely return.

S Dean Billet Doux March 2026, March 2026

The cottage was very clean, the beds required made up nicely. All instructions were clear. I think you must have a very good housekeeping staff.

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.
