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.

Planning your honeymoon involves a very specific kind of accommodation. The budget hotel or youth hostel you’re used to booking won’t do for your honeymoon. At the same time, searching for luxury hotels can be overwhelming. Many hotels promise a lot, but what is important to you will determine which one is right for your honeymoon. Here are some ideas to help you book the right hotel for your special holiday.
First, does the hotel offer a honeymoon suite? If you prefer privacy, you will want a comfortable room with extra perks such as a private hot tub. You should also ask if they provide or offer anything specifically for honeymooners. Often, simply mentioning you are newly weds will result in complimentary champagne and strawberries in the room. Other hotels may offer you a special rate or a free room upgrade. It never hurts to ask, to call and see what benefits you can get.
Second, do they have all the facilities you want? If you are interested in learning how to scuba dive, or want easy access to a gym, you’ll need to check what they offer specifically. Some hotels offer instructors, spas and other facilities for your use.
