Dorset Escapes
The Best of Dorset

We know Dorset inside out and are looking forward to introducing you to the big landmarks as well as some less well-known spots. This week-long holiday includes the iconic Jurassic Coast, the atmospheric island of Portland (not quite an island but nearly) and some peaceful inland villages and towns.

During the summer there is nearly always a local festival on, whether it be food, music (folk, indie or classical) or an agricultural show and we would be happy to adjust your itinerary include one of these so we can to give you a taste of local Dorset life. There will be ample opportunity for swimming and beach-combing, walking or just taking in the view.

We are happy to work your itinerary around any other things you would like to include and can recommend places for lunch or provide picnics (we know some great spots!) of locally sourced, artisinal food.
