The Secret's Out

The Secret's Out: Dorset

A British seaside staycation at its most exclusive awaits at this contemporary chalet. Perched in Dorset's affluent neighbourhood of Canford Cliffs, you're just a five-minute walk from the beach and your own private beach hut.

One of Dorset's well-kept secrets, Canford Cliff's fine, blue-flag beach nestled between Branksome Chine and Flaghead Chine is where locals and people in the know like to go to escape the crowds. Discover its charms for yourself (just keep it a secret) with days of picnicking, sandcastle making, and surfing if you time it right.

When tummies start to rumble, there's a handy kiosk for grabbing ice-creams - or put on the kettle for tea and cake at your private beach hut (available to hire from your hosts). For something more hearty, mosey over to the local gastro-pub –⁠ just one minute from your door.

Back at home, the fresh and uplifting interiors are a joy to come home to, whatever the season. Long summer evenings call for sundowners and barbecues on the outside decking while kids and furry friends alike run amuck in the vast lawned garden complete with a play fort. And on winter nights, take your pick from two stylish living areas, complete with fireplaces and squishy modular sofas for when it's time to crash out.
