The West Country / Dorset region

The magnificent Dorset coastline, together with the outstanding natural beauty of the unspoilt countryside, makes this county a very special place to come and explore. There is plenty for everyone from couples to families.

Along the Jurassic Coast you will find many accessible places where fossil hunting is a popular pastime. Beach lovers have a wide choice of beaches to enjoy including the sandy expanses at Swanage and Weymouth.

Inland Dorset's landscape is delightfully varied. Towards Swanage and Studland in the east you will find flat heathland with an abundance of wildlife. The centre of Dorset is chalk downland, with extensive rivers and streams. To the west of Dorset beyond Dorchester the land is more hilly, with a rich landscape of woodland and small fields.

For walkers Dorset offers great variety through wonderful scenery, from short and middle distance strolls to long distance national trails. Around the village of Milborne St Andrew there are a number of footpaths including one which runs up the lane next to the house and leads into open countryside.

For those looking for a more relaxed break there is a wealth of delightful villages and historic buildings to browse and explore with many National Trust properties including Thomas Hardy's cottage near Dorchester and Brownsea Island in Poole harbour. For those looking for the seaside you will find many beaches and coves only a short drive away.

The Dorchester / Milborne St Andrew area

Dorchester is a bustling market town with over 400 shops and businesses (including a new major development started in 2011 which includes a new cinema and will soon have a range of shops and restaurants) to satisfy everyone's interest. As well as a great selection of high street regulars, Dorchester has its own speciality shops that attract people from all over the south west. There is an extensive weekly market on Wednesdays where you can buy local produce as well as browse the wide variety of stalls.

There is a choice of museums including the award winning County Museum with information about Thomas Hardy, the Jurassic Coast, the county's history and much more.

Other attractions in the area of interest to families and those with specialist knowledge, too numerous to list them all here, include the Bovington Tank Museum, Monkey World, Abbotsbury Swannery, Durlston Country Park and the Swanage steam railway.

“Lovely home from home” Have always wanted to visit Dorset. This was our first time and we had a lovely holiday. We chose "The Clovers" from the look of the accommodation, the fact that it was well situated for the places we wanted to visit and the fact that we felt that the owners had not taken advantage of the Olympic sailing week to inflate the price (as other owners/letting agents had). We felt we had been very well treated. The accommodation was extremely clean with a light airy feel. There were many lovely touches obviously thought about by the owners for the benefit and comfort of their guests. The Clovers is on the corner of a lovely neighbourhood and very quiet. We would stay again, definitely.

“A home from home.” A very quiet and peaceful location. The house is surprisingly spacious and is equipped to a very high standard. The location is an ideal base from which to see a number of popular Dorset attractions.

“A very pleasant stay.” This house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was thought about very thoroughly, with lots of nice touches. Although the village was quiet, it was in easy reach of Dorchester and all the main roads. Eating out is not a problem, as there is plenty of choice in Dorchester and the surrounding area.

“A high spec holiday retreat in beautiful surroundings” My family and i stayed at The Clovers over Easter 2011 and we had the most fantastic holiday. When entering the house we were immediately impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The house is clearly well maintained and the decor is lovely throughout,it is also very well equiped. The house is in a very quiet cul-de-sac and open fields can be seen at the bottom of the road from the front windows. The local village has a pub (which serves lovely food) post office and shop and is only a 10 minute walk away.
