We regularly welcome Key Stage One aged children to Dorset for day trips and short stays.
We understand that this is often their first residential visit away from home, and work with several carefully chosen accommodation providers to provide secure, exclusive places to stay with easy supervision for short stays of 1 or 2 nights outside of the main summer season.
Many of our most popular activities are suitable for youngsters, particularly our wide range of animal attractions, fascinating museums, fun activity parks and of course our lovely Dorset beaches.
