Holiday Cottages in Hampshire & Dorset
A holiday in the countryside can be the perfect way to relax and to spend some time with your loved ones. I remember staying at some holiday cottages in Hampshire when I was a child and also some in Dorset and they were always a good way to recharge.
The holiday cottages in Hampshire were set in a beautiful rural location, where we could visit local tourist attractions. We were also situated close to the cities of Southampton and Portsmouth so we could go shopping and visit the docks if we wished to do so.
The rural holiday cottage in Hampshire was a period property that had been restored by some specialist conservation builders in Somerset. They had managed to do an great job repairing the cottage to it’s original form and this made are stay even more enjoyable as we would often sit in front of the fireplace and play board games.
The Dorset cottage was slightly different to the holiday cottages in Hampshire. It was still a traditional cottage but it had more modern facilities as it wasn’t restricted by the same listed building conditions as the one in Hampshire. Dorset is a region of the UK that has a good mix of modern cities and business areas, whilst also retaining some of its countryside mystery with its beautiful beaches and villages. Staying in Dorset cottages can be very rewarding for people of all ages; the beach gives a great experience for all, allowing a mix of relaxation with plenty of entertainment for children of all ages.
The self catering holiday cottages in Dorset we had were situated just outside of Dorchester, which allowed us to visit all the local tourist attractions that can be found in the region. This meant we got to have great days out at places like Monkey World, Moors Valley Country Park and we took a trip to see the Cerne Abbas Giant.
