Cottage holiday rentals in Dorset

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Iveta was a fantastic host and everyone we met at Timbercombe was incredibly friendly. The lodge is super cosy and perfect in every way. All of our expectations were exceeded! Amazing hot tub, squeaky clean accommodation and mega comfy. We walked miles with our dog every day, leaving completely refreshed. Thanks so much!

Amy's cottage is an amazing find if you're looking for a Somerset getaway. The place itself is beautiful and perfectly kitted out - especially if you have kids, with crockery, cutlery, a high chair and not to mention the wonderful assortment of games. The hot tub outside under the stars is an added bonus and one you should take up as it was a great way to wind down in the evenings. And Amy was the perfect host - friendly, knowledgeable with her guidebook, and highly responsive. Would definitely recommend her cottage and hope to visit again!

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at Ruth's stunning cottage. Ruth was a fantastic host, always on hand to answer my many questions (sorry Ruth😅) to walking in to find a lovely hamper. She also had mapped out some walk trails and supplied books / leaflets for local amenities. Cannot fault anything! We loved the hot tub and such a lovely enclosed garden so our dog was free to run around at his own leisure. It felt like a home away from home as we were able to use Ruth's BBQ too! Thanks for having us Ruth!

had a lovely weekend, the cottage was so beautiful, felt magical! everything you need is there, is was comfortable and clean. the local area is also lovely, great walks and little village. will definitely be back.

We had a really lovely stay here this week. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful and we even saw a woodpecker hopping around the grass one afternoon. Our daughter adored the trampoline and climbing frame, we also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each day after exploring. We did day trips to Lyme Regis, Beer and Forde Abbey & Gardens. A perfect, peaceful spot to spend a few days, thank you.

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.

Seafield Cottage is perfectly located with easy access to Lulworth Cove and a number of hiking trails, including Durdle Door and the trails along the cove. Absolutely stunning views. Lovely pubs close by and the salt sauna (which you need to book early if hire going to get a good time!). The cottage was super well equipped, comfortable and clean beds and rooms at a very good standard. The master room at the top of the 3 floors was gorgeous with an ensuite. The bunk bed room is great for kids, less so for overflow adults so really it’s a 2 x double bed property sleeping 4 adults + 2 bunk beds (4 in total) for kids. Emma was super responsive to any questions and gave comprehensive instructions and recommendations for the local area. I’d definitely come back and would recommend.

This is a beautiful spot which has lovely walks nearby and some amazing walks at local attractions in particular Alfred’s tower - our dogs loved it and so we were able to relax !comfortable accommodation in a beautiful old building the bedroom in particular is gorgeous

What a beautiful little cottage in an ideal location for exploring the Dorset coast. Sally was so helpful and welcoming. A perfect bolt hole for a family of four plus dog - clean; well stocked and in a picturesque setting. Highly recommend!

Our stay at Rowena’s property was a perfect first getaway with our 2 month old and our dog. She was really responsive with our questions about the travel cot as well as giving us recommendations for local walks. The property is in a great location, a short walk to the centre of Lyndhurst for food and coffee. Also a great central location to get out and about in the new forest with the baby and the dog. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful location, lovely furnishings and super remote. Our family had a lovely time there. Just what we all needed. Will come back again in the summer I think.

Myrtle Cottage was a lovely place to stay. Clean, well equipped, good facilities & all in the heart of the countryside. A warm welcome was provided by our hosts and dogs. Basic provisions left in the fridge were a bonus. We were given tips on where to eat out & a few ideas of local walks. All in all we had a great stay which was all too brief.

A beautiful cottage, much larger than we expected. Check in was very easy and flexible as we arrived very late. The property was perfect for what we needed.

This is the second time that we have stayed here, and it was exactly as we remembered it. Spotlessly clean and had absolutely everything that we could need. We will definitely be visiting here again.

Berry Farm Cottage is extremely comfortable and had all of the facilities we could have asked for. It is set in a very beautiful and peaceful location. Neil was very communicative and the description on Airbnb very accurately reflects the accommodation. This is one of the very best Airbnb experiences we have had as a family and I would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful weekend break in Jackie’s quirky 300-year-old cottage. The place is full of character, with beautiful original features and thoughtful touches throughout. It was cosy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Jackie was a fantastic host friendly, responsive, and made us feel very welcome. A perfect escape with bags of charm. Highly recommend!

A lovely place to stay within walking distance of some great restaurants and shops. The thoughtful touches were really appreciated and the lodge had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

This cottage was perfect for our stay full of character and with a garden to sit in Claire was a lovely host and met us on arrival there was wine and milk in the fridge just what we needed would highly recommend this place for a holiday

Our stay at Godminster cottage was wonderful and I cannot fault the hosting by Belu. From the moment we booked he was friendly and easily contactable no was very accommodating to our various requests. The cottage itself is beautiful with a lovely walled garden and outside seating area. We will definitely be back to visit again!

Can not recommend enough the cottage and Paul. The cottage and grounds are lovely and peaceful. Location for travelling around Somerset and Dorset is excellent - but just staying in the cottage itself would be great. All expected amenities are present. Paul was a great host - really clear directions and making sure we were OK. All in all really great.

This was the most perfect Airbnb we have ever stayed in. The location is beautiful and extremely peaceful. The house was absolutely spotless and so many little details had been thought about and provided, where they are so often missed in many other places. Could not have been more perfect And we hope to come back another day soon.

Blackbird cottage is a lovely, quaint place to stay. We found it while looking for a base near Mapperton House as we were attending a wedding there. Susan sent through clear instructions on check in, a great online guide with useful information and gave us directions to a play park for our young children. The cottage was clean with really nice sized bedrooms. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
