Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Dorset

Kay was a very responsive host with great communication and plenty of instructions of the local area on places to eat and things to do during our stay. Very comfortable beds, great shower and nice little touches like fresh raspberries and Local apple juice laid out for us upon arrival. Would definitely recommend and stay again

This place was absolutely perfect for us. The grounds are huge and full of wildflowers, and with the children’s play area it kept everyone happy for a whole day. And the playroom and toys were much enjoyed. The main bedroom has a very comfortable bed, which was appreciated. The kitchen area is clean and compact, with enough equipment for our needs. Overall an excellent choice.

Anna was there to greet us soon after we arrived. We had already seen photos of the accommodation and read descriptions, but I can only say it exceeded expectations. Perfect place to spend a week relaxing and exploring locally. The artisan cafe across the road was full of character and delicious homemade food. There is also a well stocked village shop on the northern outskirts. We hope to return. Thank you Anna.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay on our way to Cornwall and the setting is just stunning. Our toddler enjoyed paddling in the stream and feeding the alpacas and our dog loved the freedom of being of the lead. Everything was clean and comfortable and it was great sitting and eating on the patio overlooking the garden and wildflowers. Highly recommend!

Great communication from the start. Moira’s digital booklet was excellent and really useful. The stables were beautiful, clean and have everything you need for your stay. Would definitely recommend a visit there

The best Air b&b we have stayed in to date! Definitely recommend:)

Lavinia and her husband were amazing hosts. I stayed for one night with my cousin and our 2 elderly mothers on the way down to Weymouth. The cottage was lovely, with everything that we needed. The location was easy to find with Lavinia's instructions, and it was a perfect place to stay, with a beautiful sunset. Would be a great place for a week to use as a base. We would definitely stay again. Thankyou. X

Wow! What more can I say! This was such a delightful place and an absolute gem to find. Loved the decor, everything was so tastefully decorated and was absolutely right up our street; the cute private garden was one of our favourite spots. There's nothing negative to say, we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Laura for hosting us, we would definitely stay here again and hopefully for a bit longer as it's such a good base for exploring whatever your taste might be. We were doing a nature trip this time round but hopefully next time we will get to see more of the fantastic coasts. ❤️

Me my partner and dog had a brilliant stay, Barrie and Paula could not have been helpful enough with any issues we had. Would 100% recommend to anyone else looking to stay in the Poole/Bournemouth area. We have no quarms in booking to stay here again.

Great place in a very central location in Weymouth. The flat is located directly at the Weymouth sandy beach and there are plenty of bars cafes and restaurants around. Still, because of its position in the back of the building, the flat is surprisingly quiet. We found the flat in very good condition and very clean with a fully equipped kitchen a big dining/living area, a modern and very clean bathroom and a decent sized bedroom with good bedding. We felt directly at home. Parking in the area is tricky ( which is to be expected given the central location). We parked at an ASDA as long stay option which is an 8-10 min walk but comes at around 5 pounds day using the JustPark app. Very good seafood restaurant directly next door. Would very happily book Nikki’s flat again when in Weymouth!

We had a wonderful stay at Lockett Farm! The setting is peaceful and beautifully maintained, with lovely countryside views that made for a really relaxing getaway. The accommodation was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, and easy to communicate with nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel right at home. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of care into making the space feel special.

Yes, all the 5 star reviews are true! Our stay at Joy’s place was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The apartment was spotless. Joy supplied some wonderful goodies, pastries, scrumptious bread, biscuits and fresh fruit and milk. Lots of information about the area. As the buses were so frequent we used them to visit some wonderful scenic places. Everything one would want for a short stay. The views are amazing with lots of lovely walks nearby which our little dog Mollie loved.

Graham and Linda were very responsive, superb and very kind. They were especially flexible with check in and check out times when we were delayed and running late. We had a brilliant weekend stay at their place which is in a wonderful location with stunning views of the harbour and very close to the beach and all of the beachfront restaurants, cafes and pubs. Thank you for helping make our trip to Weymouth a special one which we shall remember for a long time.

absolutely amazing place clean , tidy and to a high standard right on top of poole Quay with shops and restaurants. would highly recommend to anyone for a short or long break as great location so definitely be back. Hosts were very proactive in getting back quickly to me so thanks . be back in the future Nick

The great thing about Airbnb is the unique places you end up at. Beth’s was delightful. You know you are in someone’s home straight away. Full of character and charm. Everything catered for; milk, bread and eggs were really appreciated. Lovely property in every respect.

I told my four-year-old we had been invited by 2 queens to stay in their castle—and what queens they were! Such a friendly reception and what a wonderfully whimsical place. The location is fabulous: you can’t see another property, just rolling hills of sheep (the friendliest photobombing sheep I’ve ever come across!), chickens, cows, horses… and the dogs are such a sweet, quiet presence too. Beds are luxurious and the whole house is super cosy with a fab little private garden. A real gem! Would definitely return.

Probably one of the best Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in. Set in a beautiful location and exactly as photos portray it. Great attention has been paid to making it as comfortable as possible. Hosts were very welcoming and welcome pack was much appreciated. We would thoroughly recommend and hope to return.

Stayed for a friends wedding. Location was perfect as walking distance to registry office and reception. Jonathan was proactive and offered recommendations of things to do if I wanted them. I changed my arrival time last minute and Jonathan was excellent at accommodating the changes providing clear instructions / directions. The apartment was clean, milk in the fridge and biscuits left for me, good sized shower with good water pressure and the bed was very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Really well-equipped home, great position. Light and airy, sweet courtyard.

I had a great stay in Rebecca’s flat. It’s clean and tidy and well stocked with all you could need for short and longer stays and with some lovely, complimentary goodies. The flat has its own dedicated parking space and the location offers easy access to local shops, cafes and restaurants and is within good access to the beach. Rebecca was flexible in amending my stay duration which I appreciated, thank you.

Thank you so much Karen and Ian for such a beautiful week. We would definitely love to stay again.

Great little hideaway in stumbling distance of a bustling high street with great pubs and restaurants. The accommodation is very comfortable and very well equipped.

We had an amazing stay, the apartment is beautiful and in such an amazing location. Our kids loved being able to walk to the beach and playground, and we loved having a great coffee shop 30 seconds away. The living room was great for a slump on the sofa after a busy day. Parking at the pub worked well. Thanks for a great stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Carley’s apartment. All directions and instructions were spot on and easy to follow. The apartment was perfect and the view is stunning, and everything we needed was thought of by Carley, who was also super helpful and friendly. We’d definitely recommend to anyone!
