Looking for a peaceful escape on the Dorset coast? Our Abbotsbury holiday cottages are a wonderful base for discovering one of the county’s most characterful villages and the spectacular countryside and coastline surrounding it.
With its historic village streets, rolling hills and easy access to the Jurassic Coast, Abbotsbury is an ideal destination for couples, families and friends looking to experience Dorset at a slower pace.

One of the most popular reasons to stay in Abbotsbury is the chance to explore the remarkable Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens. Set within a sheltered valley near the coast, these historic gardens have been flourishing since the 18th century and are home to an impressive collection of rare and exotic plants from around the world. Visitors can wander through winding pathways, discover vibrant displays that change with the seasons, and enjoy peaceful corners filled with colour, scent, and wildlife. Whether you’re a keen gardener or simply looking for a relaxing day out, the gardens offer a unique experience and are a highlight of any holiday in West Dorset.
