I latterly got home from a two week holiday in Dorset.  I had decided that rather than visiting the beach of the Spanish coast, we would preserve our cash, take a risk with the United Kingdom’s weather and head to the picturesque sands of Bournemouth.  It seems as if I was not the only person because Bournemouth beach was packed and with all the things the region has on offer, it is not much of a surprise.

Poole and Bournemouth are both interesting bits of Dorset to see but the region has so a good deal more to offer.  There were a wide variety of attractions and sites to visit.  My favourites of the assorted tourist destinations is definatly Brownsea Island, Farmer Palmer’s and Sandbanks beach.  I had much a pleasant time at all these places and will extremely advocate them to fellow travellers.

This was one of the grounds that I resolved that my kinfolk and I would go on holiday in a holiday cottage near Bournemouth instead of a hotel.  This meant that we could holiday in a house where we felt snug and independent to do what we wished.  It was also a great base from which we could trip to the local holidaymaker attractions easy.  We were blessed enough that our holiday cottage was set less then thirty minutes away from all of these areas.

The holiday cottage we stayed in was close to a country public house that we frequently attended, where we gained a friendly relationship with the landlord.  We found out from the landlord that holiday cottages in Dorset were widely common in the area and that he often met families like us that stay in them.  If you are considering of taking a vacation in Dorset then I would recommend staying in a holiday cottage in Dorset.  The welcome you will get from the individuals is tremendous, it is a great deal cost effective than a flight afield and you will go home feeling unwound and fresh.
