Why Short Breaks in Dorset?

A self-catering short break in Dorset has something for everyone. Dorset is home to a wealth of gorgeous beaches, where you can bathe on the golden sands, try your hand at watersports in the clear waters, or discover hidden coves.

If the countryside is more your thing, you can enjoy hikes through the Dorset AONB, along the famous South West Coast Path, and through the clifftop Durlston County Park, where you can make a pit stop at the visitor centre housed in a Victorian castle.

Throughout Dorset, you will find plenty of green spaces and parks to relax in on warmer days. As well as a variety of family-friendly attractions, independent shops, and eateries where you can refuel after the day’s adventures.

Places to Visit During Weekend Breaks in Dorset

Throughout your short break in Dorset, you will never be short of things to do!

In West Dorset, you can visit the charming village of Abbotsbury, where you can enjoy leisurely strolls through the Abbotsbury Swannery, home to over 600 swans. Or spend the day in the popular town of Weymouth, where you can enjoy a variety of amusements along the Pleasure Pier, spot wildlife at RSPB Radipole Lake, tour Nothe Fort, and visit the Sea Life Centre.

From Weymouth, you can take the short drive over to the Isle of Portland, where you’ll find the attractions of Portland Museum, Fancy’s Farm, and Portland Castle.

Continue along the coast to the famous Durdle Door, an arch-shaped rock formation featured on many postcards. Be sure to check out the idyllic nearby Lulworth Cove, where you can soak up the panoramic views from atop of the cliffs.

East Dorset is also well worth a visit and is home to the popular locations of Poole, Bournemouth, and Christchurch. All of which are well-known for their sandy beaches, historic attractions and waterside eateries.
