Holiday rentals with lake access in East Dorset District

We stayed at Sam’s place to celebrate my husbands birthday. From the start Sam was responsive, friendly, answered questions and gave some fab advice. When I made a request she did everything she could to make it happen. The caravan itself is in a lovely peaceful part of the park with easy walking distance to the woods for the dog to have a run and also to the beach where we wandered to the pub and then back for an ice cream. Sam clearly explained how everything worked, where everything was & what she was doing to make things perfect for her guests. Her guide for things to do was really helpful so our days were filled and never dull. I would call this caravan a proper family home, it does everything it’s suppose to so you can just relax and enjoy your holiday. When I had some sad family news, Sam went out of her way to make sure we were ok and that we didn’t need to rush out the caravan on check out, so if you want a proper family home from home that does what it says - visit here! 🩷

John’s Barn is a stunning light and spacious holiday home , beautifully designed and furnished , and set in a peaceful , green countryside setting with acres of woodland to explore . We loved the private and pretty garden , and the walk to the lake to feed the fish . Our grandchildren loved the trampoline and play area , and the tree swing in the garden . Bobbie is a warm and friendly host who respected our privacy - we really enjoyed meeting her . We enjoyed visiting Romsey, and loved exploring the New Forest and all it has to offer . We will be returning - something we rarely do !

Thank you to Scott for our short break to his accommodation. It was very clean and beautifully presented. Good location for dog walks and beaches. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful house in a terrific, peaceful location. The house and gardens are idyllic, and we loved spending time in the hedged gardens in the evening sun after playing tennis. The house is within easy access of all the best landmarks of the New Forest and also bang on the coast. The interior of the house has great style and charm and is a great place to spend time in.

Absolutely fabulous place to stay , i had a special birthday so got the family together . The house is so well equipped to high standard. The pool is brilliant nice temperature and big enough to feel like your doing your lengths in exercise, brilliant setting to sit round. Can't find anything bad to say about the place Nice kid's area with swings and trampoline.

We had a wonderful stay at Keepers Cottage, with beautiful surroundings in a perfect location to explore The New Forest! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a base to explore the area, will definitely be returning!

Three of us and the dog stayed at David’s cottage and we had a wonderful time. The place was spotless when we entered, it was everything we needed. David was very communicative and helpful. We spent a lot of time in the garden as luckily the weather was in our favour and it was fenced in so the dog could run around with furniture for us to use. The cottage is in a perfect location, off of the main road so it was quiet and peaceful and just down the road from the sandbanks which we visited frequently. I highly recommend anyone interested in staying here I haven’t got a single fault! :)

We had a very lovely stay. Nicola provided a high chair and travel cot to accommodate for our 10 month old baby. The hot tub was lovely and private and the views were stunning.

Perfect location looking across Weymouth beach & bay. A nostalgic return to our childhood holiday destination on Weymouth Esplanade. Don is a great host & obviously loves Weymouth & the surrounding area. The addition of the parking permit for a nearby carpark is a welcome bonus! Flat is ideal for a home from home get away. A great couple of days break. Thanks, Don

Lovely tractor house to stay in. Has all the things you’d expect in a studio flat. Not very accessible if you don’t have a car fyi (not a fault of the place at all) but otherwise lovely.

An absolutely stunning little place right on the waters edge with brilliant walks, wildlife and Wareham on your doorstep. Jo & Jay were excellent hosts who went above and beyond to accommodate our first trip with our new baby and even upgraded us to a different cottage so we had more space. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch. The accommodation was spotless, cosy and has everything you need. And the view from the patio is just incredible.

We booked this place for my dad while he was moving house, so it needed to be on the ground floor, easy to access and a good location. It was all these things, and Katherine was a great host. We had an issue with the internet half way through the stay which meant that he had no internet connection at all, this was a problem with the provider that was not able to be resolved despite her many attempts. In every other respect Katherine was a great host and the house was very tidy and comfortable.

The caravan’a main living area felt much more spacious than we imagined and there was quite a good sea view. It was right by the amenities yet still quiet. Parking was a little tricky but we have a big car and you can always use the main car park which always had spaces and felt very safe. Lovely resort with friendly, helpful and professional staff.

Thank you for welcoming me into your exceptional home. From the moment I arrived you guys made me feel welcome and the property you have is really beautiful and well taken care of. I there for will definitely be coming back 😊 Thank you guys & Take Care Tekel Jarrett

Sheralee's apartment is in an absolutely perfect location for enjoying a holiday in Sandbanks. The views are so beautiful and peaceful of the harbour from the balcony, bedroom window and living room window. There was everything we needed in the Airbnb and we loved eating dinner on the balcony as well as at the dining table in the living room. Would highly recommend staying here and we would love to come back another time. So lovely that there is such easy access to both the harbour side (we did kayaking there) and the beach side through the Jazz Café entrance to the beach. Also, having the Tesco Express as part of the same building was really handy to buy food from!

The Hideaway is a spacious annexe with easy access through the garden. Julie is really friendly and helpful. The house is in a pleasant and quiet street, with easy parking. It's 5 mins by car to the centre of town and the beach, and 5 mins on foot to shops, including Lidl. We had a lovely time visiting family in Weymouth and would definitely come again - thank you Julie!

What a stunning property, great amenities, private garden and the wider estate was beautiful. Sandra was there to greet us and always available with advise on where to eat locally etc. Sandra allowed us to roam around her gardens and lake, swans, ducks, geese and deer to be found. The two local pubs, both within 10 minute walk were warm and welcoming serving lovely food. The location on the very edge of the New Forest gave is great access to the area. We explored every day and found somewhere new. We would book here again for sure.

Lovely little cottage with a secure garden. The village has a fantastic little shop for everything you need and a very friendly village pub with great food.

Thanks Pippa for the stay in your beautiful cottage. We came down for a wedding at Coombe Lodge, which was a 14 min walk away and we felt like it was a home away from home. Modern yet cosy, a good use of space for 6 adults and a baby and good amenities close by. We would stay again and would recomiendas to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway.

We had a brilliant stay at the Pink House! The house itself was beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting - we felt really at home here. Deborah was very friendly and responsive in her communication and sent us lots of local recommendations of things to do and places to visit. The garden was really private and we loved the built in BBQ and home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and the welcome basket that we're waiting for us when we arrived. The Pink House is in a great location with walks right from the front door and only 15-30 mins drive to the various beaches. We had a wonderful stay and wished we booked for longer - we'll definitely be back again!

We loved our stay at Red Cottage. It was the perfect place to stay for our group. Jane was incredibly helpful throughout and made great local recommendations. The cottage was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Each bedroom is like a complete hotel room with its own luxurious en suite giving each part of the family somewhere they could relax alone when they wanted that time away from the communal space. We all had a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Had a lovely three night stay at Lake Cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and our two dogs loved having the enclosed garden to play in. Morning walks around the lake were peaceful due to the secluded nature of the cottage. Would definitely recommend for others. The cottage itself is modern, clean and very well maintained.

This is our second stay at Lakeside Barn and again it lived up to our expectations. Such a beautiful place with peaceful surroundings. Anna and George are the perfect hosts and I would have no hesitation in recommending the barn.

A lovely 2 bed AirBnB that was well equipped (including dishwasher and washing machine), comfortable, charming and homely. The host's communication is excellent and friendly and I can heartily recomend staying here. The Smugglers Inn pub is nearby (but not at all noisy) and serves great food. There are a couple of other places to eat/drink in the village that looked very enticing but we didn't get the opportunity to try them. Maybe next time. It's in a great location within a short drive of various attractions and local villages and towns. All in all, a great discovery and I'm sure we'll use this particular AirBnB again.
