 Rex Officio, once part of an office selling coach travel, is a memorable name for the perfect Dorset Cottage. The cottage is ideal for couples with an open plan living downstairs and bedroom and shower room upstairs.  Repeat bookings are frequent being hugely popular with couples searching for a peaceful getaway.

Although Rex is tucked away in a quiet corner of the village, the Jurassic coast sits just four miles away.  Whether your preferred mode of transport is a car, a bike or on foot, it has easy access to Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door or Ringstead. Further along the surrounding coastline are beauty spots like Studland, Swanage and the Isle of Purbeck across the ferry to Sandbanks and Brownsea Island. On the other side lies the Georgian town of Weymouth and the Isle of Portland.

 Dorset’s countryside is as breath-taking as its coastline. Make sure you visit Moreton at least once. St Nicholas Church has a set of beautifully stained glass windows, and Lawrence of Arabia rests in the churchyard.

There are some lovely paths around Winfrith Heath and Tadnoll Heath, as well as several trails like the Jubilee Trail and Lawrence Cycle Ride.  Bovington Tank Museum and Monkey World are also nearby and well worth a visit.

There is a well stocked shop in the next village, Winfrith and a good Butchers and Bakers in Wool.  For larger batches of shopping visit Dorchester or Weymouth.   If you need a break from catering, the Sailor’s Return, a pretty thatched pub, is a hop, skip and a jump from the front door, and is a wonderful place for a relaxed drink after a walk through the countryside, or a hearty evening meal when you don’t feel like cooking.

Couples searching for a romantic holiday in Dorset need look no further than Rex Officio. Decorated in a fresh country style, it includes everything you could need for a comfortable stay, including a location that’s quiet yet convenient for Dorset’s major attractions.
