Our lodges and cabins in Dorset

Dorset offers a broad mix, from small one-bedroom cabins for two to big houses with several bedrooms. Around 59% have a hot tub, about 55% accept pets and roughly 44% have a log burner. A sauna is rarer, at about 13%. The nightly price is usually well above the cheapest stays, so it pays to compare sizes and towns. Short breaks suit the county well, because the coast and the countryside are close together and you can change plans easily if the weather turns.

Dorset has cabins and cottages near the Jurassic Coast, from Lyme Regis to Swanage, and in the countryside around Dorchester.

Dorset suits couples after a coastal weekend and larger groups who want one big house with a hot tub. The county runs from the Jurassic Coast around Lyme Regis and Swanage to quieter countryside near Dorchester and Blandford Forum. The choice of places is wide, and so is the choice of budgets.

More than half of the places have a hot tub, and a little over half accept pets. A log burner is less common, found in fewer than half. Gardens are the most widespread feature by far. Most places sleep around six, but the range is long, with the largest taking 33 guests. Guests rate them highly, at about 9 out of 10. Prices vary a good deal by town and by size. Coastal and resort towns can cost noticeably more than inland ones, and the smallest places for two are the cheapest way in. Larger groups pay far more per night, though the cost per person often falls.

Where to stay in Dorset

Weymouth has the most places, followed by Ringwood and Bournemouth. Prices differ sharply between towns. Bournemouth and Ferndown are among the dearest, and both have a high share of hot tubs. Blandford Forum, Swanage and Ringwood usually cost much less, and Blandford Forum still has a high share with hot tubs. Lyme Regis is cheaper than Weymouth but has fewer hot tubs, which fits its many small sea view cabins. Swanage has the lowest share with a hot tub among the bigger towns.

Features

A garden is the most common feature, found at about 80% of places. Hot tubs come next, then log burners, high chairs and BBQs. Stays with a hot tub usually cost more than stays with a garden alone. Places with a swimming pool are typically the cheapest on the list, and sea view places also sit below the usual county price. Fishing stays are the dearest of these features. If your budget is tight, a pool or sea view can be easier to afford than a hot tub.

By number of guests

Places for two to six guests make up most of the choice, and they cost similar amounts a night. That means the cost per person drops as the group grows, and it is lowest for groups of five or six. Above that, the nightly price climbs steeply, with places for seven to nine costing about twice as much as those for five to six. Houses for 20 or more are the dearest by far and cost more per person too. Couples pay the most per person.

Prices month by month

Prices rise steadily from November through to April. November is the cheapest month of the period, and April is the dearest. The gap between them is noticeable, so a late autumn break costs clearly less than a spring one. Availability also changes. Fewer places are free in the winter months, while March and April have more open dates. If you want the lowest price, choose a November or December date. A week in winter usually costs a little more than a week outside it.

All towns in Dorset

Dorset has many towns with places to stay, so it helps to decide first whether you want the sea or the countryside. Coastal towns such as Lyme Regis, Swanage and Weymouth put you near beaches and cliff walks. Inland towns such as Dorchester and Blandford Forum suit those who want space and a hot tub. Check the distance to the coast before you book, and compare the nightly price with the size of your group.
