Summer is the most popular season to travel to Dorset – and for good reason. We are famous for our sprawling, white-sand beaches, spectacular coastal walks and refreshing countryside trails, all of which are best enjoyed when there are blue skies overhead and the sun is shining. But hotels don’t quite cut it when holidaying in our lovely county during the summer months of the year. While they can be convenient, they are usually badly placed, limited in space and they lack any means of spending time outdoors. For a rejuvenating summer break by the sea, browse our wide selection of holiday cottages in Dorset.

While in Dorset, history lovers will enjoy the county’s variety of museums and heritage centres, from Dorchester’s Keep and Military Museum and Bovington’s Tank Museum to Blandford’s Fashion Museum and Purbeck’s Mining Museum. If you’re a member of the National Trust, Corfe Castle, Kingston Lacy and Brownsea Island are also a must-visit.

For adrenaline junkies and sports lovers, travellers to Dorset will love the mud trail at Dorset Adventure Park, indoor climbing at RockReef and Warmwell’s dry ski slope. Dorset’s abundance of sandy beaches also offers plenty of opportunity for kayaking, paddle-boarding and wild swimming.

Families with young children are also spoilt for choice while staying in the area for the summer holidays. Sunny afternoons can be spent building sandcastles on the beach and slightly cooler hours can be enjoyed at Monkey World, Weymouth’s Sea Life Centre or Famer Palmer’s.
