Kid-friendly holiday rentals in East Dorset District

We have just had the most incredible stay at Nichola’s place for my sister’s hen do. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming and met us to show us around. She also came to say bye at the end of our stay and asked how we got on which was lovely. The house itself is amazing and somehow exceeded our expectations- the photos look brilliant but in person it is stunning! Would definitely recommend!

Another faultless stay at Nick & Sharon’s lovely annexe. Never less than spotlessly clean throughout, kind and thoughtful touches in the kitchen and friendly helpful comms every time. Just a total pleasure to stay here. Top class Airbnb every time.

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.

Loved the barn, was exactly per the listing we had a great stay in a warm British June!

This was an amazing house for a family get together and perfectly located on between us in Sussex and other family from Devon. The house was spacious and spotlessly clean with a lovely welcome basket full of treats. My 4yr granddaughter loved the bedroom with the steps, slide and fairy lights. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. With several small children in our party, we also took advantage of the washing machine and tumble dryer. The garden was brilliant and our grandchildren absolutely loved the play house and games room. The hot tub really came into it's own on a warm day with during torrential rain. The host Catherine was super helpful both before our stay answering a few queries and on check on day itself. I would highly recommend the house.

I needed a peaceful retreat for a couple of nights. Splash cottage was perfect - very well appointed, comfortable, thoughtful provisions available. And the sun shone!

We had an unavoidable complication being unable to contact Stephen on our arrival (nobody's fault) but we're so welcomed and looked after by the neighbour and local pub we felt incredibly welcomed on Stephen's behalf. Stephen's place is lovely, the garden is magnificent, the local area and village very pleasant and the pub highly recommended. All in all we were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend Stephen's place.

The Air BnB of Gwyneth is a wonderful place. It‘s a really cozy little cottage with everything you need. We really liked all the lovely details in the beautiful appartment and we also fell in love with the beautiful flower garden and the landscape around us. Gwyneth was a really nice host. She gave us so many tipps for places to shop, eat and things to do around the Air BnB. We would come back anytime.

Phil's place had everything we needed. Situated right by the hospital - it worked perfectly for us as there to visit a very ill family member. We really appreciated the parking space and how quiet it was in the flat. Checking in process easy and all information very clear. Any communications were quickly responded to by Phil. Would definitely use again.

Absolutely lovely and will definitely visit this apartment again. Thanks

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.

Genuinely the best Olaf wo have stayed on Airbnb - we were greeted with complimentary wine etc and there was everything we could have needed in the cupboards. Had a great time sat on the balcony in the nice weather, and we were even allowed to check out at 1pm. thanks for everything!

We had a lovely two night stay at Little September Cottage. The food hamper was much appreciated, the hosts were very friendly and the apartment had everything we needed.

Great location, lots of lovely little touches which really made me feel welcome. Loved the monkey curtain holder in the bedroom! I’d definitely use again.

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

Beth’ s place is amazing. A calm and peaceful haven. From the thoughtful welcome card to the incredibly kind extra touches like bread, milk and eggs. Beth has created the most fantastic experience for guests. We had a fabulous 8 nights and really recommend this as a perfect place to stay.

What a wonderful apartment. Stylish, clean and comfortable. Greta is a super friendly and responsive host. The location is perfect. . Walking distance to Westbourne and its charms. 5 mins drive from the stunning beach at Alum chine. I do not hesitate to recommend this fabulous apartment. Thank you Greta

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.

Very sweet little cottage, beautifully decorated with everything you would need inside of it. Great location, with a nice pub down the road. We would definitely stay here again and recommend for all. The only downside is that it is situated on a busy road so at night you can sometimes hear the cars, but we didn’t mind.

Claire's apartment was lovely with beautiful views of the sea! All three of the bedrooms were huge with really comfy beds, our children loved the toy box and my daughter was particularly fond of a cushion with seagulls on it :) It was so great to have all the extras for staying with a baby and young children, including next-to-me cot, highchair, children's toilet seat and step and tableware. We loved the location, perfect for both a short walk to Alum Chine beach and a quick drive to Bournemouth Pier and the Aquarium. My daughter asked if we could come back every Father's Day! :D x

Rose's place is beautifully clean and comfortable. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home. We loved relaxing in the beautiful garden and very much appreciated the thoughtful note that had been left, along with the generous provision of breakfast and hot drink items. We had two great meals out, one at The Ship and one at The George. It was so easy to get into the forest for walks. A great stay and we would thoroughly recommend!

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!

Lovely stay at Kathryn's flat. Myself and my two small boys spent 2 days here over half term and we had an amazing time. We found parking directly outside, we didn't need to move the car for our whole stay, everything was walking distance. Beach, restraunts, Pier, parks, cinema etc. The flat had all the amenities we needed and it was like a home away from home. I will be sure ti book again next year! Sash
