Old School Retreat
Dorchester, South West England
Old School Retreat in Dorchester sleeps eight, making it a solid choice for a larger family or group holiday in this part of South West England. Being near a bus stop adds a bit of flexibility if you'd rather not rely on the car every day. History and curiosity seekers are well catered for, with the Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum close by and both the Dinosaur Museum and The Teddy Bear Museum a little further afield, offering plenty of variety for mixed-age groups. Moreton (Dorset) station is within reach too, useful for days out beyond Dorchester itself. It's a practical, well-placed base for a group wanting a bit of everything nearby.
