Guest house holiday rentals in East Dorset District

As a seasoned AirBnB member this apartment was right up there with the best in terms of comfort, value, amenities (right down to a bottle of milk in the fridge) and ease of access. Perfect for a short break and the hosts should be proud of themselves for making such a great honesty. Thankyou. we will be back.

We booked The Stables for a couple of nights, including for it to be used as the bridal getting ready space on the morning of our recent wedding, as it is only 10 mins from Priston Mill. It was absolutely perfect and Nancy went above and beyond to help make it work for us including making space on the drive of the main house to allow wedding suppliers to park. The space was light and bright and surrounded by a gorgeous garden and it felt really private and peaceful. It was very well equipped with everything you’d need and actually seemed a larger space in person than in the pictures! Special thanks go to Nancy for making it extra special for our wedding and including some lovely bubbly in the fridge which was a really thoughtful touch.

This place was perfect for what we needed it for! We were attending a wedding close by and needed somewhere local enough to the venue. This was a perfect location and perfect place for that! Barbara gave instructions to the property that was clear and easy to follow. And the property had everything we needed, exactly as described! Would recommend, location had beautiful views.

Fabulous location, friendly host and great accommodation

Hayley is a great host if you need any help or information where to get breakfast or the shop just ask . Great place to stay and relax , sunbathe, read .

We stayed for 4 nights and this place was perfect. Location wise it was right in the middle between the historical cities of Winchester and Salisbury - making it great spot for exploring. The annexe itself was clean, spacious and had everything you would need for your stay! The extra touches of some essential items like milk and bread etc were very helpful for our first night after a long drive!

Our stay was fabulous! We had the best time and the lodge was stunning. Everything we asked for. Mark and Maria were wonderful hosts and very accommodating. We would be definitely staying here again.

Rebekah was very welcoming and lovely host! Fantastic stay, beautiful space with everything you need. Attention to detail and kind gestures for your arrival with milk juice and plenty for breakfast from crumpets to chocolate croissants! Lovely big garden for outside space. About a 10 min drive to the closest beach. All beds were super comfy! Highly recommend and hope to come back next year!

Tom & Naomi went out of their way to ensure I knew exactly what to expect both in the property, the location and amenities nearby. They offered a simple and easy contact-free check in for me as I was travelling for several hours, and I even found a powerful floorstanding fan on my arrival (temps were in the high 20s). All the consumables and essentials were provided, with a microwave snd kettle in the kitchenette (although perhaps including a plug-in induction hob would be a great addition for extra flexibility for cooking). Bathroom had a powerful shower and plenty of towels, just bear in mind there is only a small hook on the back of the door to accommodate any clothes you’ll put there and the towels (I just hung them over the cubicle, but perhaps installing a towel rail would be worthwhile). Thanks again for a lovely stay, and the local recommendations for food and places of interest!

We had a great stay, the place was quite clean and comfortable, the dog loved having the garden to play in. Ben was super helpful and I loved the list of recommendations in the room. It was lovely to play cards on the patio while the sun was shining. Ben was very good at communicating with us throughout our stay. Would definitely book again

An incredible stay. Whilst not walkable to towns everything is incredibly close to drive to and the surrounding towns are stunning with lots of beautiful places to explore.

Victoria and Steve’s place is just as described - clean, super cosy and the hot tub is fab. Great launch pad to explore Studland/Corke/the coastal area. Easy to get around - bus to Poole from pretty much outside the front door (Rockfish restaurant is great!) and if you don’t mind a 20/30 mins walk, there are a couple of nice pubs in walking distance. Thanks for a lovely stay!

The Cabin was in a fanatic location to explore the new forest and the communication from Tom and Lucy prior to arrival was excellent. On arrival the space was spotlessly clean and all amenities required were to a high standard. The homemade bread and beer in the fridge was a lovely touch. On arrival there was a personal note from Tom and Lucy with local recommendations and the local pubs delivered fantastic food. Communication throughout the stay and on checkout was excellent and gave us confidence on how to leave and check out. The brewery is clearly a nice place to have on your doorstep for a quiet beer when required. Overall a great stay and we will be retuning at some point.

Perfect little studio, very well catered for and immaculately clean. Although the studio is located next to a house it still felt private, with its own gate for access and a small outside patio area. Shelley was quick to respond to any questions and the instructions given for checking in were clear and easy to follow. Located in a very nice area with plenty to do within walking distance.

We enjoyed our stay. Very nice that the dog could run free in the garden. Everything was to our liking.

This lovely Coach House exceeded all our expectations and was exactly what we needed after a day of travel mishaps. Sarah was great to communicate with and gave us a very generous list of recommendations. The Coach House is beautiful and in a peaceful setting. The amenities and kitchen goodies were a lovely surprise. For my friend and I the bathrobes were the most unexpected highlight :D Highly recommend this lovely place! Thank you for the great stay :)

Immaculate accommodation about a 15 minute walk from the town centre. Set in a pretty garden beside the host’s house. There is a folly where we stored our bikes, which was ideal. Charlotte had left various extras including chocolate and coffee. I particularly liked there being ice and olive oil as I had forgotten those. Communication was excellent. And though there wasn’t a washing machine or dryer, Charlotte did several washings for us and offered to do more, which we really appreciated. Overall very enjoyable and I would highly recommend.

A great place to stay in a pretty little village within easy reach of Dorchester and the coast. A very comfortable double bed on the mezzanine level, and like all areas immaculate. Claire has put together an informative booklet for her guests with all the information needed for a relaxing stay.

We absolutely loved our stay. The garden room was exactly as Susie had described. It was so peaceful and quiet, and it really was a very short walk to the local shops and to the beach. We would definitely visit again. Susie was very friendly and helpful. Thank you Susie and Andrew

This was our second stay at Lynne and Andy and Just like last time we really enjoyed it! The annexe and their beautiful garden is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The kids loved the fish and were over the moon when Andy even set up a kiddy pool for them! Lynne and Andy are lovely hosts who have great recommendations (e.g. for a Chinese takeout on our first night when we were arriving later than expected, or for nearby farms to explore with the kids) and are always easy to get in touch with without being intrusive at all. We could even pick some lettuce from their kitchen garden for dinner! We'd love to stay at their place again and can definitely recommend staying there!

Gorgeous stay with a great view of Glastonbury Tor which is in comfortable walking distance. Walking distance into Glastonbury and a comfortable and peaceful stay.

What can I say about Deborah’s place? It was absolutely perfect! So much space, spotless, quiet & just a 5 min walk to the town centre - we truly loved it & can’t wait to return soon! Thank you so much Deborah 🥰

This 2 day trip surpassed our expectations! Beautiful accommodation in the most wonderful location. We loved the area and the walks around it. Sarah and Shawn were fantastic hosts, really friendly and gave us top tips. Walk to the local pub was a brisk 30 minute walk away across the picturesque new forest. I am already planning to come back and have recommended to my friends for their short break.

A lovely place to stay, immaculatly clean, well maintained. plenty of space and a good outside space too. hosts very friendly and helpful. will be returning. thank you
