Your specialists for large group accommodation and hot tub breaks in Dorset
We specialise in group accommodation across Dorset's most spectacular locations. Our portfolio spans from the fossil-rich coastline of Lyme Regis to the golden sands of Bournemouth, the historic harbour of Weymouth to the ancient market town of Dorchester. Every property sleeps 8+ guests with many accommodating groups of 20 or more. We focus exclusively on larger properties because we understand what groups need: space to gather, multiple bathrooms, ample parking and outdoor areas perfect for celebrations.
What sets us apart? We're group travel specialists who work with local activity providers to secure group discounts. From fossil hunting expeditions along the World Heritage Jurassic Coast to private dining experiences in Dorset's finest restaurants, we coordinate every detail. Our properties include traditional thatched cottages near Corfe Castle, luxury lodges overlooking Poole Harbour, and contemporary houses in Sandbanks - one of the world's most expensive residential areas.
Planning group holidays involves unique challenges. How do you find properties that actually sleep your numbers comfortably? Where can groups park multiple cars? Which locations offer easy access to attractions everyone will enjoy? We solve these problems daily. Our collection includes properties within walking distance of Dorset's best beaches, historic sites like Maiden Castle, and activity centres offering everything from water sports to adventure courses. Every cottage features detailed floor plans showing exact sleeping arrangements, parking spaces and garden facilities.
Every property accommodates 8+ guests with spacious living areas, multiple bathrooms, and generous parking. We understand group dynamics and select properties that bring people together rather than spread them apart.
Our cottages are located in Bournemouth, Weymouth, Lyme Regis, Swanage, Sherborne, and throughout the Purbeck Peninsula. Each location offers immediate access to beaches, historic attractions, and outdoor activities perfect for groups.
Over 60% of our properties feature private hot tubs - perfect for groups wanting to unwind after exploring Dorset's 95-mile coastline. All hot tubs are professionally maintained and ready for your arrival.
Book your group cottage with just a small deposit. We offer flexible payment plans that make organising group holidays easier for everyone involved in the booking process.
Our carefully selected portfolio covers every corner of this remarkable county. From the dramatic chalk cliffs of Old Harry Rocks to the prehistoric landscape surrounding Stonehenge, our properties put you at the heart of England's most fascinating region. We have beachfront houses in Bournemouth's exclusive areas, period cottages near Thomas Hardy's birthplace, and modern lodges overlooking the Fleet Lagoon nature reserve.
Each property is chosen for specific group-friendly features: open-plan living areas for socialising, outdoor dining spaces, games rooms, and gardens where children can play safely. Many include access to tennis courts, swimming pools, or private beach areas. We work exclusively with properties that have been designed or adapted for group use, ensuring your holiday runs smoothly from arrival to departure.
What makes a group holiday truly special? It's the experiences you share together. That's why we've built relationships with Dorset's best activity providers, restaurants, and attraction venues. We can arrange group bookings for Monkey World, the Tank Museum, Corfe Castle tours, and boat trips from Poole Quay. Our team provides detailed local guides covering group-friendly pubs, family restaurants with large tables, and shops for self-catering provisions.
Need help coordinating your group's arrival? We provide comprehensive pre-arrival information including property layouts, local amenities, emergency contacts, and recommendations tailored to your group's interests. From hen weekends in Bournemouth to family reunions on the Jurassic Coast, we ensure every group holiday exceeds expectations.
