Where is the best place to live in Dorset?

We are hoping to move to Dorset in the near future and will be looking for a house in rural situation (don“t mind doing refurb but need it liveable) up to 200K and must have reasonable garden for three dogs. Is this possible?

I have spent a lot of my life visiting and staying in Dorset, my mum and brother both live there now. There is no definite place to live in Dorset, it is all a lovely county. You have the night life of Bournemouth, and Weymouth, the peace and tranquillity of every over village in the county. And the breath taking scenery of Portland and chesil etc etc etc etc. With 200k i don't think you will be pushed for property, my bro has just recently bought a property in verwood, the choices are endless. Fancy a lodger ? All the best...I'm not really jealous
