“Why wouldn’t you come to Dorset..” is a phrase once uttered by one of Dorset’s most famous literary sons, John Fowles. And like his literary predecessor, Thomas Hardy, Fowles had a strong bond with the county where he spent nearly 40 years of his life. It’s not difficult to see why so many famous (and not so famous) people fall in love with Dorset as it is a place with so much elegance and beauty both conventional and idiosyncratic. The world renowned Jurassic Coast path (see picture opposite) draws in many a visitor wishing to take in some breathtaking walks and views across the coastline from Weymouth and Portland and stretching all the way into Devon at its end point. Contrast the natural beauty of the coast with the stunning 2 mile golden sand beach and Georgian esplanade which makes up a grand stretch of the seaside town of Weymouth with its family friendly cafes, gift shops and fairground attractions and you can see in the blink of an eye how Dorset’s appeal stretches across all ages and classes.
This property is set in the peaceful east Devon village of Kenton which has a pretty square, village shop as well as a post office, pubs, restaurants and a takeaway. Nearby is the popular resort of Dawlish Warren which has a green where you may see ducks and also the famous black swans on the water. If you are fortunate and happen to be visiting on a summers day then you may even catch a musical rendition in the bandstand whilst enjoying an ice cream on the lawn. 
Laira is a delightful terraced cottage dating back to 1855 and is located on the road through the picturesque village of Martinstown near Dorchester. The cottage enjoys spectacular views over impressive Dorset countryside and not far from the property is the popular Hardy’s monument – celebrating the author and his Dorset residence. Right in the heart of the village is a traditional country pub where you can enjoy a drink and a home cooked meal. Steven’s Farm shop is also close by and stocks a wide selection of goods from local producers.
If you are looking for a unique family holiday opportunity, you will likely be weighing up a number of different options. However, if you are trying to arrange a break with a large number of family or friends, you may be hard-pressed to find a more appealing option than simply renting a holiday cottage in a picturesque rural location. Staying with loved ones in a self-catering cottage in a county such as Dorset, Devon or Cornwall can be a beautifully peaceful holiday, and offers you, your family and friends the best chance to simply enjoy each other’s company away from the stresses and obligations of your home life.
Situated in the heart of the town of Bridport, the arts centre has grown in recent years into one of the west country’s premier venues. There is a wide variety of events on offer throughout the year including music, comedy, dance and film as well as exhibitions and a vibrant participatory programme featuring “take part events” and activities for all ages.
Artsreach was set up to give rural Dorset communities a chance to see and participate in high quality arts events in their own villages. Artsreach is Dorset’s rural touring arts charitable organisation and their aim is to make ticket prices affordable to everyone. To do this they receive regular funding from Arts Council England, Dorset County Council and North, West, East Dorset and Purbeck District Councils, but also depend upon attracting good attendances. When holding an event, venues keep a percentage of box office sales and raise their own proceeds from holding a bar or raffle etc.
