Perfectly juxtaposing coast and countryside, a luxury homestay in Dorset is just as heavenly for hikers and peace-seekers as it is for beach lovers, fossil hunters and water-sport enthusiasts. Choose from picture-book cottages in country villages and contemporary coastal homes with huge blue views.
From the fossil-lined sands of the Jurassic Coastline to the sandy beaches of Sandbanks that lure the rich and famous, Dorset is a county of diversity. Take the children to one of the ancient beaches of the UNESCO World Heritage Site to see if they can discover the next dinosaur fossil, before finding a spot to sit with an ice cream while you take in the views and marvel at the towering golden sandstone cliffs.
Wander along the undulating clifftops of the South West Coast Path, passing famous natural landmarks like Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove, before heading home with rosy cheeks from the sea air. Dorset’s is a landscape dotted with Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so walking boots will be well worn-in long before your holiday ends.
When it’s time for children to cosy up in their pyjamas, tell the tales of The Famous Five, inspired by Dorset’s captivating scenery. Bring imaginations to life and head to the ruins of Corfe Castle, which became famous as Kirrin Castle in Enid Blyton’s treasured books. With a rugged coast peppered with coves, arches and sea stacks, Dorset never fails to inspire children who walk its trails.
Give weary feet a rest at Sandbanks, one of the nation’s most popular stretches of sand. With a deep natural harbour, it’s a playground for sailors, SUP-boarders and swimmers, while the never-ending stretch of sand offers space to spectate, snooze and watch the sunset. However you choose to experience Dorset, you’ll find your luxury self-catering retreat waiting to welcome you after a long day.
