Spending holidays in the UK is often a synonym of going to London for either a very cultural holiday of visiting museums and theater plays or a very shallow holiday of shopping around London’s markets and malls. Often people take the high road and tour around England, either to visit the major towns, follow the Beatles’ trail, watch some football games or perhaps to relax in the Scottish highlands.

There’s a secret well kept in Britain when it comes to holidays, and that secret is Dorset. With stunning beaches, amazing holiday summer resorts and a beautiful and relaxing countryside, it is the county of choice for many Britons to spend their summer holidays or, perhaps, just to spend a couple of relaxing days by the sea.

If you choose to wise up and visit this relatively untouched paradise, there are many options for your stay. Luxury hotels in Dorset are fitted to comply with your every desire, as are the many lodges and cheaper hostels around the county.

Renting a car may be a good option for a couple of days, as you might wish to take a tour of the surrounding countryside and take it all in on your own schedule.
