The booking via Sykes was very 'user-friendly', done very easily by helpful and friendly staff, and follow up emails quick and efficient.

Just Show Me Large Dorset Cottages
Planning a getaway with family or friends and looking for somewhere really special? Our large cottages in Dorset promise an unforgettable holiday amid incredibly beautiful surroundings.
Let's look at the coast - a natural World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife, superb sandy beaches, all kinds of water sports and fantastic fossil-hunting. There are big family-friendly resorts like Bournemouth and Weymouth featuring a huge variety of things to see and do, as well as charming, smaller resorts like Lyme Regis.
If you're after a large cottage in Dorset with plenty of walking opportunities on your doorstep, you're in for a treat, with mile upon mile of public footpaths including the magnificent South West Coast Path.
Inland lie sleepy, thatched villages and market towns oozing atmosphere and an absolute delight to browse. This is Thomas Hardy country and you can trace his footsteps on a variety of trails. For shopping, restaurants and a good choice of historic sites, the county town of Dorchester is a must. And there's a huge choice of other visitor attractions, from castles and museums to farm and animal parks.
Once back at your Dorset large cottage, expect inviting living areas with a good-sized dining table - perfect for that evening gathering of food, drinks and tales of your day's adventure.
