Luxury cottages in Dorset
With a luxury cottage in Dorset as a base, discover the historic character of villages like Shaftesbury, Burton Bradstock, Milborne Wick, and Sherborne. Trace the coastline’s ever-changing contours or take in the languid calm of the surrounding countryside, immortalised by Thomas Hardy.
In Dorset, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty unfold at your doorstep, where wildlife flourishes and coastal paths lead you through dramatic views of shingle banks and hidden smugglers' coves. History buffs will appreciate the ancient sites scattered in and around the region, including local castles and the sacred grounds of Glastonbury. For those seeking high-octane adventure, kitesurfing in Poole Harbour and sailing along the coast offer thrilling ways to experience the water. Or, wander miles of golden sands at Studland Beach, with a cloud-like swirl of Dorset ice-cream in hand.
If you’re in search of a family space, our collection of luxury cottages in Dorset includes a coastal home perched near the muscovado sands of Hive Beach along the Jurassic Coast. With an endless horizon ahead, rolling hills behind, and a heated outdoor pool, it promises to please guests of all ages. For larger gatherings, a farmhouse surrounded by a wildflower meadow offers far-reaching rural views and a spacious lawn primed for croquet or badminton. In the evening, book a table at a local farm-to-fork restaurant or sear hand-dived Portland scallops and samphire on the barbecue.
