Luxury Cottages Dorset and Romantic Cottages in Dorset

Romantic Dorset - known for lovely country lanes, romantic olde worlde villages, gorgeous cottages and its famous cream teas! With a milder climate, hotter summers and more sunshine than Devon and Cornwall, Dorset is an ideal romantic escape. Over 40% of the county is a designated "Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" - more than any other county. Dorset also boasts two heritage coasts and the South West coastal path. New to Romantic Retreats is a beautiful cottage on the famous Gold Hill in Shaftesbury Dorset, made famous by the Hovis advert featuring a young boy pushing his bike up a cobbled hill.
