    “It's a lovely old cottage, full of character, but had all the mod cons you could think of. It also had good outside space, and I thought it was excellent value for the money. It's the only pet friendly accommodation that Ive ever stayed in that...”

Neighbourhood information

A vacation to Dorset would be incomplete without a stop in Dorchester, which boasts Roman roads, museums, and a diverse range of pubs and eateries. Visit the County Museum, which has a room dedicated to Thomas Hardy, who was born just two miles away in Bockhampton, for a lovely walk around Maiden Castle, England's largest hillfort. Weymouth's lovely gently shelving beaches and picturesque harbour are only seven miles away, as is Portland's craggy peninsula, linked to the mainland by Chesil Beach, which is part of the spectacular World Heritage Coastline. In fact, Dorset's magical spell will enchant you so much that you won't want to leave at the conclusion of your stay!
