Big Cottages & Group Accommodation in Dorchester

The vibrant town of Dorchester in Dorset is a popular holiday destination and it's easy to see why. With a host of museums, wooded riverside walks, a variety of independent shops and cafes, and the largest Iron Age hill fort in Europe, there are plenty of relaxing and interesting pursuits to enjoy. And with the West Dorset Heritage Coast close by, the wonderful Dorset countryside begs to be explored too.

What kind of big cottage in Dorchester would you go for? An old school house makes a charming destination for larger groups. Or perhaps you would choose a thoughtfully designed, semi-detached barn conversion surrounded by the delightful Dorset countryside? Here at Big Cottages, we love to connect you with the best selection of big cottages in Dorchester.

Our big cottages in Dorchester are cosy and welcoming and also well-placed for exploring. Whether you want to take the kids to an animal park, such as Kingston Maurward Animal Park & Gardens which makes a lovely day out, admire an elegant National Trust property, or delve into some Jurassic history at the Jurassic Safari park, you'll find plenty to keep you entertained in this charming spot.
