Why Choose Summer Breaks in Dorset?

The most authentically English coastal experience possible is guaranteed when renting a summer house in Dorset. Dorset is a remarkable combination of natural beauty, historic charm, and outdoor adventure, nestled along the breathtaking Jurassic Coast.

 Imagine waking up to the soothing sound of waves lapping on the shore and enjoying your morning coffee while taking in the spectacular vistas of the ocean. Explore lovely coastal towns like Lyme Regis, Weymouth, and Swanage, each offering its own distinctive character, seafood delights, and leisurely strolls along the promenade with a Dorset summer villa.

 Hikers and nature lovers will love Dorset's lush landscapes and rolling hills, and there are countless possibilities to explore the area's rich history and cultural legacy. The beautiful Corfe Castle and the lovely gardens of Mapperton House are also great places to unveil the past. 

Places to Visit during Your Summer Holiday in Dorset

Your summer vacation in Dorset serves as a springboard to a wealth of alluring locations. Begin in Abbotsbury, a city renowned for its charming history and breathtaking Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens. Then, make your way to Corfe Castle, where historic ruins and sweeping vistas are waiting atop its commanding peak.

Next, proceed to West Bay, a tranquil coastal community renowned for its golden cliffs and stunning Jurassic Coast backdrop. Don't miss Lyme Regis, a seaside jewel known for its picturesque Cobb Harbour and fossil-filled beaches. With its sandy beaches and bustling waterfront, where you can savour fresh seafood, Weymouth beckons.

 Discover West Bexington, a peaceful community that offers pristine natural beauty and undeveloped beaches, for a calm getaway. On your summer vacation, Dorset's various towns and villages have something to offer everyone, whether you're looking for history, natural wonders, or coastal relaxation.
