Strand Cottage is a dreamy holiday home in the idyllic village of Burton Bradstock, close to West Bay, Bridport and the spectacular Jurassic Coast. It's everything you picture a country cottage to be with an attractive front garden, beams, an inglenook fireplace, very comfortable bedrooms, and a rear garden with views of the coastal footpath. The cottage sleeps four people in two bedrooms and is ideal for a family holiday or a romantic couple's retreat to the coast. There are two pubs, a village shop and an award-winning beach cafe, all within walking distance.
River View sits in a peaceful location next to a meadow within stepping distance of the Kings Arms in Stoborough and a ten-minute walk from the Saxon market town of Wareham. There is room for up to seven guests plus a cot, making it popular with families and friends who want to be close to Isle of Purbeck attractions like Corfe Castle, Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World. Beautiful beaches including Swanage and Kimmerage Bay are nearby, and there is a good variety of walking trails and nature reserves where you can enjoy getting close to nature. Poole and Bournemouth are both an easy drive, or there is a train station in Wareham if you want to leave the car. With so much to offer visitors, it is no wonder that River View is a favourite with holidaymakers who fall in love with the natural beauty of the Isle of Purbeck.

Sitting quietly in the peaceful village of Bloxworth, Old Kilns is a deceptively spacious holiday home that is ideal for families with older children and groups of friends who want to see the best that Dorset has to offer.

Walk along the coastal footpath past Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door, or take the kids to one of Dorset’s top attractions like Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World. Old Kilns is in the centre of it all, providing a restful haven at the end of a fun-filled day.
