Large Cottages in Dorset for Group Holidays

Large houses to rent in Dorset for every occasion

Nestled in the southwest of England lies Dorset - an idyllic county renowned for its areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, rolling hills, incredible coastline and rugged landscapes. Popular with holidaymakers of all ages, it's a brilliant choice for a large group holiday, whatever the occasion.

Whether you choose to take your break in Bournemouth or Poole, Lyme Regis or Dorchester, you'll find the perfect group accommodation in Dorset to suit your crew's every need with Big Cottages.

Take your pick from rustic cottages in the countryside, gorgeous beach houses overlooking the sea, sprawling barn conversions surrounded by nature, and even converted chapels brimming with character.

Why holiday in Dorset?

From its rolling green hills and chalk downlands to its picture-perfect towns and the award-winning Jurassic Coast, most of Dorset has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and draws in visitors from all over the world.

As well as the countless sandy beaches, stunning clifftop walks, and dreamy market towns and villages, Dorset is a truly special place to spend time with friends and family. You can forage for fossils, rummage in rock pools, and soak up the sunshine on countless soft, golden beaches.

With so many beautiful places in Dorset to explore, it can be difficult to know where to stay.

Lyme Regis is known as the 'pearl of Dorset,' and is famous for its curved harbour wall and fossil-rich beaches, perfect for a treasure hunt! Bridport is a great choice if you fancy basing yourself in a pretty, bustling market town. It's also just a couple of miles from the Jurassic Coastline, so you can spend your days shopping and relaxing before heading off to enjoy the sights of the coast.

Bournemouth is one of the most popular seaside towns in the UK, with plenty of attractions, a brilliant beach, and loads of choices to eat and drink. Another top choice for your trip to Dorset is Poole, where you can marvel at Europe's biggest natural harbour before making your way to the epic Sandbanks Beach. Try your hand at some watersports or just chill out with an ice cream as you take in the sea view.

You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to natural landmarks in Dorset. The iconic Durdle Door, Lulworth Cove, and Old Harry Rocks make for fantastic days out, or why not grab your walking shoes and go on an adventure through Purbeck Hills, Hardy Country, or make your way along the breathtaking South West Coast Path?
