What do you want from a holiday in Dorset?

A self-catering cottage that's a pleasure to come back to after a long day?

Amazing places to visit that aren't too far away?

Coastal walks on your doorstep?

These are just some of the highlights our guests comment on when they leave messages in our guestbooks.

If you've never taken a break in Dorset, perhaps now's the time to give it a go😀

Don't forget to put your clocks back one hour on Saturday night or Sunday morning⏰

That's time for an extra hour in bed.

Or another hour for enjoying what our corner of Dorset has to offer.

Whatever you do with it - make the most of a day with 60 extra glorious minutes!

Autumn in Dorset.

A season of glorious colours, shapes and textures.

You're drawn outside by the richness of nature, even as it starts shutting down for winter.

Who can't resist a walk in the Dorset countryside at this time of year?

That's why this is a wonderful time to book a short break in one of our self-catering cottages.

"We have all enjoyed a fantastic week at Upton Grange. The weather has been incredible and we have loved the location, beaches and the cottage.

We have everything we needed for a family of four... We can't wait to be back! Thank you."

Once again, our Dorset location delivered what was needed for a family looking for a fabulous holiday.

Comments like this, in our cottage guestbooks, make us glow with pleasure.

Early morning sunshine highlights the autumn colours and shapes in and around our gardens.

Everything seems aglow with bright berries, yellow and copper leaves, and seasonal oranges. Even the ever-present greens seem more vibrant in the October light.

For some of our guests this is their favourite time of year.

Bikes on the beach!

One weekend every October, Weymouth beach transforms into a motocross circuit.

Dozens of dirt bike riders test their skill on the flats, jumps and curves on a circuit made from our famously fine-grained sand.

It's a noisy, exciting spectacle, packed with action.

This year's event was this weekend.

If you're a bike racing fan, watch out for the announcement of next year's event.

Great weather. Great location. Everything we needed for our family holiday.

This is what we love to hear from families who discover us.

They're thrilled by the space to run around in our extensive gardens. And by how close we are to popular beaches in the area. Weymouth, Swanage and Durdle Door are all within a short drive.

Thank you for taking the time to tell us how much you enjoyed it😀

Here's another video we've made from drone footage supplied by a recent guest.

We're thrilled that some of our regulars share video and pictures with us - and that they tell their friends about us.

Please consider sharing videos like this, so others can discover Dorset for themselves.

And if this is the first time you've seen Upton Grange, and if you enjoy self-catering holidays - look us up online.

Autumn is one of the best times in the year to go hunting for fossils.

There are loads to be found on beaches near us. We're right beside the Jurassic Coast, famous for its fossils.

It's a fun day out!

There are some basic rules when you're out hunting:

- Stay away from the base of the cliffs.
- Don't chip at big rock formations on the beach.
- Check the tides, best time to go is just before low tide.

There's a wonderful visitor centre packed with fossils and information at Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre. It's also one of the best beaches for fossils.
