Great Holiday Activity Options in Dorset

A holiday in Dorset is never complete without a stay at one of the Dorset holiday cottages. The holiday cottages are located near many attractions including the port and the sea if you are interested in water activities or cruises. The Dorset cottages are fully equipped with all the modern amenities that will make your family enjoy their holiday to the fullest. What's more, the cottages are self-catering thus allowing you to cook and can accommodate large or small families. You can also bring your pet along as the accommodations are pet-friendly too. If you want to take a cruise, you can opt to get cottages that are near the cruise charters or otherwise if you are interested in history, a visit to the museum would be a great idea too.

Brownsea Island Cruise

Choose to stay at one of the cottages in Bournemouth and book yourself on the Brownsea Island Cruise. You can start the cruise at either Swanage or Bournemouth and then go on to Brownsea Island. Have an early breakfast at the accommodations so you can start off early as the trip from Bournemouth Pier to Brownsea Island will take a total of 90 minutes. When you reach the Brownsea Island, you can always opt to explore the island or remain on board and just relax. Brownsea Island offers many interesting sights too if you choose to go to the island. There are several wildlife including unique red squirrels, Sika deer and peacocks that you and your kids will truly enjoy watching. There is also a castle and a chapel that you might want to look into. The island has an amazing landscape which is a feast for the eyes. You can also hop on to a café that has serves delicious lunch once you feel hungry. Exploring the island and going on this cruise is a great way to enjoy the day before you return back to your holiday cottages.

Dinosaur Museum

Especially if you have kids with you, you must include a visit to the Dinosaur museum if you are staying in one of the Dorset family cottages. This museum has won many awards and is a must-see for families with kids. If you are coming from one of the cottages, you can just ask for directions and it is an easy few minutes' drive or even walk away to the Dinosaur museum since the museum is located right in the middle of Dorchester. Some of the most interesting displays at the museum are fossils, dinosaur skeletons and Jurassic Dinosaurs that have long disappeared from this world. Reconstructions of life-sized dinosaurs will really amaze your kids. What's more, there are multimedia displays that will teach them more about these extinct creatures. It would be great to leave your Dorset holiday cottages early to spend even more time exploring these interesting displays.
