Cottage holiday rentals in Cerne Abbas

Are second stay at the cottage, just as good as the first time, we will be back. Ade Tracey & molly

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

Ruth's cottage was wonderful. The garden is totally fenced so it's dog friendly. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed was comfortable and nicely firm. We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the decked terrace when the sun came out. Ruth left us a small food hamper with bread, crisps, bread, milk and wine. Our spaniel enjoyed her walks into the Moreton village and playing in the ford. Moreton village has a walled garden and a cafe, and the church windows are something to see. Also, Lawrence of Arabia is buried in the village grave yard (separate from the church yard)

Wonderful little cottage, where get to see horses and donkeys everyday. We loved staying here and are already looking to book again in the autumn. Joyce & David are lovely and we’re happy to show us around the farm and tell us all about the animal, thank you so much.

Had a wonderful two days at The Bothy. Such a beautiful spot and the cottage I think looks even better in real life - and it looks pretty wonderful in the photos! We felt right at home straight away- Chrissy had left some welcome staples which was appreciated and there is everything you need for a truly lovely stay. We made use of the hot tub which was fab and it’s in a very peaceful but convenient location to explore the New Forest. Come - we hope to go back soon.

We have just returned from a wonderful and restful 3 day break. Would highly recommend this property as it was private, spotless with everything you could need. The hosts were amazing, very friendly and informative of things to see and places to go to locally. Their beautiful dogs were an added bonus for us. Will definitely be returning ASAP. The best Airbnb we have been to.

Ok, if you are looking at this cottage and wondering whether to book it....just do it, stop wondering. You can thank me later. The quiet hits you first, only birdsong and the sound of the breeze through the trees. A genuinely beautiful, tranquil cottage, simply but lovingly presented with all the things you need. A kitchen with stove/oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee maker. A spotless shower room, and a separate lavatory complete with wash basin. The lovely large bed, comfortable chairs, table and bookcase all highlight the time and effort the hosts have spent creating something special. Hot tub ? Yes, very private and very relaxing too. The hosts had fired up the wood burner so that when we arrived the water was nice and toasty, perfect to enjoy the sweeping view to the valley below. (Bring flip flops or crocs as the path to the hot tub has an area of gravel). In short, we have absolutely loved time here. Many thanks Rhys & Lizzie for making it possible.

Very well appointed and great for a family, we had an 18 month old with us. The games room is a little gimmicky but was fun along with all the board games as we had a little one with us so adds a little to the stay along with the hot tub and beautiful garden as couldn’t pop to the pub in the evening. There is also a cache of cars which our daughter loved to play with, it was these nice little touches that made a difference. Some great recommends from the host and the local area is handy and beautiful with a play park just a 10 min walk away. Recommend the Rose and Crown pub on a sunny day, 15-20minute walk, garden is great and little slide for kids. Traffic is the only downside to the area really but the house is nestled away from it all.

We had a lovely few days staying in Templecombe. The cottage is very comfortable with a cosy living room, well equipped kitchen and two good-sized bedrooms with really comfy duvets! Our only regret is we didn't get to use the fireplace in the living room as the weather was so nice! James was really accommodating and friendly, and gave us some great recommendations for things to do with our two small children. We loved visiting Stourhead and had a delicious Sunday lunch at the beautiful Story Pig farm. A lovely break!

A great find and in a beautiful setting. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need. The garden backed on to the nursery field for the lambs and was lovely to sit out in the garden with a cuppa and enjoy the peace. Cottage was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. Lots to do in the area with Weymouth only a 30 minute drive and Tesco relatively close for your essentials. The homemade banana cake was very well received and very delicious! Would definitely book again.

Wow, what a stunning location. It's every bit as beautiful as in the photos. We watched glorious sunsets from the terrace and enjoyed walks on the beach. I enjoyed looking around the immaculately kept gardens and could have watched the colourful koi in the pond for hours, plus the two cute horses in the field. Andrew's directions to the house are spot-on, please don't trust your satnav or you risk being taken down some very narrow lanes with grass growing in the middle and no passing places. Ask me how I know. There is no mobile reception at the house, as you would expect given the location, but the wifi is very good. Beds and bedding super comfortable.

This is our second time staying at Denise’s lovely cottage in Stourpaine and I’m sure we’ll be back. The cottage is perfect, spotlessly clean, has everything we needed and the location is ideal. We really enjoyed sitting in the garden this time - the garden is lovely and really private. It’s the perfect Airbnb - highly recommend!

What an absolute gem of a cottage, tucked away off the road but within easy walking distance of the town centre, Bishop's Palace and cathedral. Ted (spaniel) especially loved the water gulleys! The Orient Express was the best Chinese we've ever had!

We had a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage was very pretty and had lots of character and charm- it felt homely too- we loved that it was dog friendly. The local countryside and coast was stunning and easily accessible from the cottage. The hosts were very responsive and friendly-would recommend!!

Beautiful cottage, very peaceful and private. Loved how perfectly wonky everything is. Great location to get to nearby beaches. Helen was very proactive and kept in touch throughout. If we visit this way again I wouldnt hesitate to book another stay.

Gorgeous cottage, especially loved the sea view when sitting on the window seat. All was clean and tidy and as described. Loved being so close to the beach and the sea, really recommend it. We had breakfast outside in the little courtyard one day, in the sunshine and enjoyed the calm. Only tip for others visiting is that we found places were often closed on Sunday evenings, Mondays and even Tuesdays, which coincided with our visit. Really wanted to try the Cove House Inn but it was too late, by the time we saw their hours. So plan ahead, especially if visiting around this time of the week.

There are not enough words to do this property and Ava justice . It is truly stunning from its location to the laundered bedsheets , super equipped kitchen and so much more . We were made to feel so welcome . Ava and Chris really do go above and beyond . Our son Archie loved it and was encouraged by Ava to explore and see the cows . He really didn’t want to leave . Honestly we all wanted to stay . If you stay here , you will not be disappointed. We are looking for an excuse to come back

Thank you to Martina. Excellent communication. Easy to access and an immaculate, centrally located property. Beautifully renovated. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay for a weekend getaway

Gorgeous location, Jo & Gemma were exceptional hosts. All the small touches were so lovely, breakfast options, pizza oven, BBQ and abundance of local recommendations for walks and restaurants. They ensured we had everything we needed for a relaxing few days. Thank you!

What a beautiful and spacious home with historic character and modern amenities. Clean, loads of room, a well stocked kitchen and very comfy beds. Anne was always responsive and helpful with communications. There was even a little welcome package upon our arrival! The gardens were beautiful and we would have certainly enjoyed the grounds had we more time. We highly recommend this AirBnb property and feel very fortunate and grateful to Anne and Richard for sharing their lovely home.

Quiet and peaceful surroundings just the place to relax. Beautifully restored and tastefully decorated accommodation.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Rebecca’s. The property is charming (and super clean, up to date etc.) and it is set in a stunning area of countryside so it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. The house had everything we needed and we felt right at home immediately. The location is perfect too - beautiful walks right from the house, a short drive from the coast but nicely away from the busier areas. Rebecca’s communication, flexibility and hospitality were also exceptional which all contributed to a brilliant holiday. Would highly recommend and looking forward to returning!

The barn was spotlessly clean. It’s surrounded by beautiful countryside. Checking in and out was easy. We were met by Ann who gave us instructions and was very friendly. The barn was very comfortable and cosy. The pictures don’t do it justice. Would highly recommend
