Work from home holidays in Dorset
Artists, makers, doers, bakers, money-makers; work from home holidays in Dorset have never looked so dreamy. Find a place to write that novel, paint that masterpiece, or pull together that presentation with peace and solitude.
Some of us do our best work at home; brainstorming cross-legged on the sofa, sketching in a notebook at the breakfast table, or typing into the wee hours by candlelight. As companies embrace flexible working, the writers, number-crunchers, and CEO's of the nation seek unique places to work remotely. Enter: luxury work from home holidays in Dorset. Maybe you're heading on a family trip with the baby and dogs in tow, and need a quiet workspace to jot down all the big ideas that a week by the beach brings. Or perhaps your romantic retreat coincides with a can't-miss conference and Wi-Fi is a non-negotiable (but Zoom-ing in from the pool house is optional).
The beauty of remote working is this: modern folk can up sticks with their spreadsheets and paint brushes and get to work just about anywhere. Solo travellers might opt to stay at a woodland home overlooking Lyme Regis, composing symphonies or cracking codes. Creative couples travelling with children could lay up in a long-let, trying their hand at fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast or teaching their little ones about sea life in Weymouth. If the business is within the family, gather the grandparents and the siblings for a company retreat with a twist. Think stylish studies, tranquil beach houses, and maybe even a private swimming pool.
