Take a break from the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life and enjoy a few days in beautiful Dorset.

Available throughout the year, short breaks in Dorset allow you to sample the delights of this charming county over a long weekend break.

Why A Short Break in Dorset?

Dorset is just a two-hour drive from London and is easily accessible from the rest of the country.

Therefore, making it ideal for a few days of relaxation and respite. Blow away the cobwebs with walks aplenty at Cranborne Chase AONB, or breathe in the sea air along the Jurassic Coast before a well-deserved drink in a traditional cosy pub.

One of these weekend short breaks in Dorset will leave you feeling rested and rejuvenated.

The collection of Dorset cottages are perfectly located to enjoy the pretty seaside towns, golden sandy beaches, medieval castles, picturesque villages and enchanting harbours of Dorset.

Places for a Weekend Break in Dorset

Boasting a multitude of activities to suit all interests, you will be sure to have a fun-filled itinerary to keep the whole family entertained during your short break in Dorset.

Take a scenic boat trip and experience the picturesque harbours and dramatic coastlines around Poole and Lyme Regis. Or, get on board and surf the waves at Kimmeridge Bay and Bournemouth Beach.

Why not jump aboard the Swanage Railway and marvel at sites such as Corfe Castle on the 12-mile return trip around Dorset and the beautiful Purbeck countryside.

Just 30 minutes from the award-winning golden sands of Weymouth, the vibrant market town of Dorchester is well worth a visit, with museums and shops aplenty.

If you want to get out and enjoy the fresh coastal air, then a walk along the South West Coast Path should be high on your priority list; marvel at the natural wonders of Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door.

Why not recharge in the charming villages or Worth Matravers and Easton, ideal places to explore the coast. 

Whatever your reason for visiting, a short break in Dorset is one of the best ways of relaxing and enjoying the South West.
