Luxury coastal cottages in Dorset

We do like to be beside the Dorset sea, don't we? Sweeping sands and long coastal rambles, paddling in the shallows and watching as the children jump over foaming waves. Family days by the seaside are as iconic as the soft-whip ice cream with which they go hand-in-hand. With freckled faces, salt-kissed skin, and tousled hair, retreat to the serenity of one of our luxury coastal cottages in Dorset, from fossil-filled Lyme Regis to Burton Bradstock, where the only thing left on the agenda is to recline with a chilled glass of wine, as children dream of tomorrows surf adventure and the sun melts into the ocean. 

Whether you opt for a romantic cottage for two or a big gathering house, blazing summer days invite skinny dips at Durdle Door and afternoons of sunbathing under a vintage parasol, whilst cooler months bring winter banquets prepared by a private chef and brisk dog walks across the soaring cliffs of Dorset's South West Coast Path. In summer, you'll catch up on your book pile lazing at West Bay and stir frozen margaritas by the poolside. In autumn, it'll be hot chocolates and blankets as wild Atlantic winds whip sea foam against the windows of your beach house, the crackling fire the only soundtrack.
