Choose a clear first night from Dorset, then leave the rest of the journey flexible enough to follow the weather or linger somewhere lovely.

Start your search around Lulworth, Wareham, Swanage, Weymouth, Bridport, Purbeck and the New Forest, then narrow it down by facilities, dog-friendly rules and distance from your first attraction.
