Places to Visit from Cottages in Dorset

Being home to a world-renowned coastline and miles of beautiful countryside all waiting for you to explore and enjoy, there’s no limit when it comes to places to visit from your Dorset self-catering cottage.  

For example, if spending time at the beach is a must-do, then venture out from your Dorset cottage to the lovely resort town of Bournemouth! Home to a bustling town centre with streets nestled between beautiful parks and gardens, you can quite easily spend a full day here exploring its many fantastic places to eat, drink and shop! Not only that, but it’s also home to some of the best beaches in the country and is situated just a short drive away from the famous Sandbanks Beach too. 

Other popular coastal towns near these cottages in Dorset include Lyme Regis where you can step back in time by hunting for fossils on Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, marvel at marine life at Lyme Regis Aquarium or see Dorset’s coast from the sea with a Jurassic boat trip. Or, take a trip to Weymouth, where you can bask on the golden shores of Weymouth Beach or enjoy walks along the iconic Chesil Beach. 

On the other hand, further inland you’ll find the county town of Dorchester, nestled right in the heart of the county’s vast countryside. It is best known for its rich history and association with the Puritans that left for the New World in the 17th century. With a bustling city centre to explore that’s packed full of great restaurants, shops, pubs and bars, it’s also where you’ll find Poundbury, arguably one of the most unique towns in the country and well worth exploring if you have the time!
