Damers Cottage

Damers is chocolate box pretty with its stone walls beautifully topped with a thatched roof. Traditional and welcoming, this lovely self-catering cottage is popular with families and couples (one or two) searching for a peaceful hideaway to relax and unwind. Its position in the village is always popular for tourist photographs, being to the right of the signpost on the village green.

Perfect for family holidays, the cottage sleeps up to five guests in three bedrooms and unlike most Dorset cottages is spacious, rather like a tardis, has a safe staircase for children and older visitors and two bathrooms, though you still have to watch your head in some places. It also has the advantage of off-street parking for two cars. As well as a large lawned garden, there is a playing field opposite the cottage and a country pub a short stroll away with outside seating.

Dorset’s coastline is as breath-taking as its countryside, and staying at Damers allows you to access it with ease whether your preferred mode of transport is a car, bike or on foot. Families visit for a number of reasons, to relax on our many sandy beaches like the popular seaside resort of Weymouth with its sandy beach and family attractions or to hunt for fossils all along the coast. Kimmeridge and the Etches Collection Museum of Jurassic Marine Life to the east and Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre to the west. Our county town, Dorchester features its own dedicated dinosaur museum, much entertainment for children.

If you prefer to explore on foot, walk to Durdle Door (around 45 minutes), a fantastic way to discover the beauty of the coastline. The shingle beach can get busy on summer weekends, but the archway is a must-see. Pack a picnic and keep going to Lulworth Cove, which is around another 15 or 20 minutes along the coastal footpath. Looking at the rocky cliffs with caves and tiny coves makes it easy to understand why smugglers gravitated towards the area.

Other attractions in the region include Monkey World and nearby Tank Museum, Corfe Castle, (take the train to Swanage) and the Isle of Purbeck. One of the biggest pleasures of a holiday in Dorset is not only seeing these popular sights but also discovering for yourself the unnamed coastal nooks and crannies and the rock pools and beaches revealed by low tide. There’s always something beautiful to look at, whatever the season or the weather.
