Unwind During a

Weekend getaway In Dorset

Modern life can be hectic and unrelenting; long days in the office can leave you feeling stressed and exhausted. However, a few days on the beautiful southwest coast acts as the perfect medicine to ease that heavy feeling as you unwind by the sea. Short breaks in Dorset allow you to relax and de-stress, re-energising both body and mind. Dorset is the perfect place to escape away from city life. As soon as you spot the splendid coastline and rolling hills, we promise you will start to feel better.

Dog-friendly

Short Breaks in Dorset

When travelling for a few days away in Dorset, dog-friendly accommodation is sometimes essential. Finding someone to look after your four-legged friend can be a tricky task, especially with little notice or during bank holidays. That’s why our pet-friendly cottages suitable for short breaks are a welcomed escape for families, couples or individuals who wish to head to the sea with their furry companion in tow. Many of our cottages have enclosed gardens to ensure peace of mind, and most are situated just moments away from scenic walks and wonderful trails.

Cottages for

Weekend Breaks in Dorset

Our self-catering cottages are well suited to weekend getaways in Dorset. They offer real living space instead of just a place to sleep, allowing you to relax and enjoy a home from home while you’re away. Our cottages and holiday flats are the perfect retreats to come back at the end of a long day spent sightseeing, exploring the coast or relaxing on the beach. With all the modern features you’d expect, from washing machines and central heating to WiFi and TVs with Netflix, they have everything you might need for a comfortable stay in our lovely coastal county.

Enjoy year-round

holidays in Dorset

Located only two hours from London, Dorset is so easy to get to by car, train, or even a ferry. So, there’s no excuse not to book a cottage for a shorter stay when a relaxing escape starts to call. Whether you’re looking for some well-earned mid-week respite or you have a long weekend of relaxation in mind, Dorset is the perfect destination.

Our cottages are well-suited to individuals, couples, families, and groups of friends and what makes a short break in Dorset so wonderful, is that they can be enjoyed all year round. Whilst summer might be the ideal time to relax on the stunning beaches and take a dip in the clear blue sea, the region is just as spectacular in Autumn and Winter.

With miles of magnificent coastline, rolling countryside, and fascinating ancient landmarks, there’s plenty to capture your heart here in Dorset. You can pack so much into a shorter stay that even if you’re only visiting for 24 hours, it’ll feel like a real escape from everyday life.
