Family-friendly holiday rentals in Bournemouth

Our second visit here, and will likely come back. Astrid is a great host and the stables are a lovely little space to stay with beautiful surroundings and a great location within the New Forest.

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Farm Shop. It was in a lovely location - you could explore lots of beaches and also walk from the doorstep in to the countryside and to the sea. It was clean and tidy and had all the things you would need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a great extra! Susie and Sarah were super responsive and helpful. We had a really lovely time, thank you.

We missed the turning for the house the first time we went past so make sure you drive slowly around the lanes! Hosts (Lynette and her husband) met us at the house and gave us a tour. They helped us organise the private chef prior to the stay, really recommend Chef Gary, very reasonably priced and good food! House was clean and tidy. Breakfast bits and spare towels for the hot tub were provided. Hot tub turned on prior to us arriving which was really handy. We used the house more as a base as we spent the whole of Saturday out at the New Forest so unfortunately didn't get to make use of the golf or tennis. There are rules/expectations for checking out but this was clearly explained on the listing. There are quite a few rules compared to other airbnbs we've stayed at, but as there is a lot of white, marble, mirrored furniture, this does make sense and the house is super clean. Again this is all in the listing. Really recommend the stay, beautiful house in great location.

Amazing place! Perfect location for a family holiday. The house has absolutely everything you need and more. We really enjoyed sea kayaking and paddle boarding with all Daves's kit. The sea is so close you can carry everything down to the shore. We really loved the hot tub and sauna and bbq area. The games room was a great space for the kids to hang out and play as well as the adults. We couldn't have wanted more. We'd wholeheartedly recommend this amazing house.

What a fantastic stay! I went to chill out and that’s exactly what happened. Very grateful. The LazyLodge was exactly that!! Had a fab time!! Thank you!

Definitely recommend Sam’s beautiful house. Immaculately kept garden with hot tub and huge trampoline which kept the children busy. All rooms with clean and had everything that we needed. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms were clean and showers etc all in good order. Thank you!

We had a lovely, relaxing stay! The space was perfectly set up for kids and incredibly comfortable and warm. The hot tub was a real bonus! My 2yo has asked if we can go back to Sarah’s house ever since we left 😂 We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great stay!

very friendly, replied v quickly to a couple of pre booking queries, hot tub brilliant...

Exactly what we were looking for, great accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Thoroughly recommend .

My family and I had such a wonderful visit to the lodge, such peaceful surroundings and plenty of space. Excellent host and everything is so well organised. We greatly enjoyed our visit and would love to spend more weekends away at this perfect Airbnb. Our son particularly like the garden area and surrounding walks. Thank you Luisa! Best Wishes

We had a lovely Stay, was in a perfect location to explore lots of amazing sights, beautiful views and lots of seaside town nearby. Sharon was very friendly and helpful and the place was comfy and had everything we needed.

Christine was a lovely host and answered all our questions quickly before and during our stay. The house felt just like home and was very clean and welcoming. Christine made sure we had everything we needed and even suggested areas we could visit. I would definitely stay here again!

Absolute Perfection. We have been fortunate to stay at some great Airbnb’s over the past 10 years but this has to be the best! Maria was a fantastic host. She was always friendly and quick to reply to queries, she gave a us loads of helpful information as well as tips of places to visit and go for food. She greeted us at the cottage and gave us the warmest welcome and even baked us a cake! There were other welcoming gifts too including an activity pack and chocolate buttons for our daughter, a bottle of wine, milk, sourdough & local jam. All were lovely. The cottage itself is beautiful, full of character and charm, it felt cosy whilst spacious enough at the same time. It was spotlessly clean and contained everything we could need for our stay. Beds were large and very comfortable. The outdoor space is incredible! There is off road parking for atleast 2 cars, a large fully enclosed front garden, decking with lovely seating area over looking the rear wonderful rear garden.

Lovely apartment - like a 5 star hotel room with a kitchen., equipped with everything you need..Tastefully decorated with a super-comfortable bed. Really quiet neighbourhood with a lovely 5 minute walk to the beach down the beautiful Alum Chine. Great to be able to park right in front of the building.

Fantastic barn, lots of fascinating items. Loads of space and really well thought out space with a gorgeous outside large private deck area. The owners were really friendly and accommodating. Location was perfect for us, and love the peaceful surroundings. Will stay again for sure. Cliff and Carla

The cottage was beautiful, Such a lovely setting. Every thing we needed was there,. Was pleased to see the cottage was very homely and kept traditional rather than boutique style. Would recommend it to anyone,

Great location for a family break. Entertainment passes included. Kids will love the robots delivering food in the restaurant. Didnt try out the pool this time but looked great. Loved how close we were to the beach beautiful day and night, with stunning sunsets. Also enjoyed a walk around the nature reserve. Great base for getting out on our bikes. We absolutely love the new forest and this was a great base for a short stay. We'd happily stay for longer.

The views from Seascape are wonderful and added greatly to our holiday. From sunny breakfast on the deck to cosy evenings watching the sun set we found everything we needed and we felt at home straight away. The lodge was immaculate and Judith dealt quickly with the only issue we had when the oven had a fault, so our holiday was not impacted greatly. It's a 15 minute walk into Swanage with an uphill return or free 2 hrs parking next to the Co op if you spend £10 there. Altogether a perfect place to enjoy Swanage and explore the Isle of Purbeck.

A lovely old farmhouse, stairs quite narrow and steep, needs to be considered if with elderly people, although 2 rooms on the ground floor which could be used. Great outdoor space, lovely pool and hot tub and summer house with comfy sofas. Would definitely book it again, great location for Lymington and New Forest.

We had a blissful few days at Flint cottage. Wonderful kitchen to cook in, and multiple fabulous farm shops nearby. We ordered a heat and eat pie and a DIY breakfast pack for our first night, which made the start of the holiday so much more chilled out. The outdoor bath was also really special. We were so comfortable throughout we just relaxed completely. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic hosts very accommoding when I cha ged my plans. The bed was made up which was lovely surprise as I'd rented bed linens. The view from the lovely decking area is outstanding snd so peaceful and relaxing. The caravan was very comfortable and well eqipped. We would highly recommend staying there.

Highly recommended! Clare is a fantastic host who made us feel very welcome. She went above and beyond in accommodating for us and offered local recommendations. The space is in a perfect location, approx 4min walk to beach, which made it fantastic for early morning strolls. The space was as described (though it DOES have hot water) and spacious for two people. You can easily be self-sufficient with the amenities e.g in the kitchen. Thank you for letting us stay and we will return in the future :-)

We had a great stay. The place was easy to find, and there was plenty of parking in site. We could let ourselves in as the key was in a key-safe box, and just left the key in the door on leaving so the check-in/out was seamless. The place felt like it was in the middle of nowhere, very peaceful and beautiful countryside. The accommodation itself was basic, clean and comfortable, perfect for our needs. But for us the best bit was the pool and games rooms (the main reason for booking this place). The pool was a decent size, the water was clean and a nice temperature - the kids loved it and the parents loved the sauna which was pool side. The games room was very well equipped with a table tennis table and badminton court (the court was not full size but big enough for fun with the kids), although I'd advise bringing your own bats and balls if you took it seriously ;). The room also had loads of kids toys to amuse the younger ones.

We stayed here for just over a week with our three children -everything was clean and tidy when we arrived and it was a nice place to use as a base for going to the beach/Hengistbury Head. Lovely holiday!
