Cottage holiday rentals in East Melbury

This was our second stay at The Old Piggery, and again we absolutely loved it. It’s such a beautiful location. Grant is really helpful.

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!

Absolutely loved it here! Came here for a little weekend getaway for my partners birthday. The hot tub was amazing and the whole place was spotless and had everything we needed. Could not recommend this enough! The bed was unbelievably comfy… didn’t want to get out of it in the mornings😂

Wonderful little cottage, where get to see horses and donkeys everyday. We loved staying here and are already looking to book again in the autumn. Joyce & David are lovely and we’re happy to show us around the farm and tell us all about the animal, thank you so much.

We had a lovely few days, lots of room in the house, hot tub and games room a bonus, along with the deer in the garden yesterday morning! Many thanks for the welcome pack and milk.

Had a wonderful two days at The Bothy. Such a beautiful spot and the cottage I think looks even better in real life - and it looks pretty wonderful in the photos! We felt right at home straight away- Chrissy had left some welcome staples which was appreciated and there is everything you need for a truly lovely stay. We made use of the hot tub which was fab and it’s in a very peaceful but convenient location to explore the New Forest. Come - we hope to go back soon.

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.

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

A great find and in a beautiful setting. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need. The garden backed on to the nursery field for the lambs and was lovely to sit out in the garden with a cuppa and enjoy the peace. Cottage was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. Lots to do in the area with Weymouth only a 30 minute drive and Tesco relatively close for your essentials. The homemade banana cake was very well received and very delicious! Would definitely book again.

This is the second time we have stayed in this cosy beautifully decorated cottage in Bruton. The location and host are fabulous, with such comfortable and classic furnishings and close to all the best of what Bruton has to offer.

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

We (family of 4 plus a dog) spent 4 nights here and had a very relaxing stay. Everything was as described and clean. Highly recommended.

Perfect, peaceful retreat for us. Beautiful village and amazing surroundings. We’ll be back.

Gorgeous location, Jo & Gemma were exceptional hosts. All the small touches were so lovely, breakfast options, pizza oven, BBQ and abundance of local recommendations for walks and restaurants. They ensured we had everything we needed for a relaxing few days. Thank you!

Great place to stay ,hosts excellent . area fantastic for walking dog could not fault it in anyway.

What an awesome place, a proper hidey hole. Well presented, lots of nice little touches, everything you could possibly need. We had a wonderful break. Would definitely recommend it.

Nut Cottage was a perfect location for us. We were able to walk to both Lulworth Cove and the Durdle Door, two of the sites that we came to see. There were also lovely restaurants within walking distance (we didn't have a car). Sam and Katie were very responsive hosts when we had questions and they provided a list of helpful (and great) restaurants for us to try. They also gave us a heads up to reserve ahead, which I am so glad we did!

This was our second stay at Rob & Maggie's beautiful cottage in the tranquil village of Mells. They are great hosts, and it was a pleasure to return here for another relaxing stay in such a peaceful and beautiful location.

Stayed for 4 nights at The Bothy- it’s a lovely home, very comfortable beds, plenty of towels, including beach towels, nice bedding and had basics like oil, vinegar, tea and coffee. The pool was a real bonus as we had good weather and used it every day- it’s lovely and warm. The area is quiet and very peaceful, lovely walks and costal views. You can walk to The Haven, great food- fish finger sandwich is epic, and into Lymington along the sea wall or down country lanes in the daytime, takes 20 minutes or so. A car is fairly essential here due to the quiet location. Sarah was an excellent host and was always on hand for any queries. I can highly recommend this place and we hope to stay again.

A great find! The Cobblers is impeccably clean, comfortable and spacious, with a delightful outside space to enjoy the beautiful garden. It is ideally situated both for Bath (10min from the Park and Ride), and also for a peaceful, rural break. There is so much to see and do in the surrounding countryside. The Cheddar Gorge and caves, just 30min away, was spectacular! This really is a wonderful place to stay, and we certainly plan to return!

We had a lovely couple of nights here. We were comfortable and really appreciated the extra touches and how wonderfully clean it was. Highly recommended to anyone needing to stay in this area.

We stayed in The Goat shed for 5 nights for a mini-moon and can't fault it. Easy to find and very clean and comfortable. The welcome pack had tonnes of information and reccomendations for food, activities and experiences in the surrounding area. Open forest, beaches, farm shops and quaint villages all within a half hour drive, but if you don't fancy that, there's plenty thats walkable too. Rachael and her family were very welcoming and friendly, offering us vegetables from their garden and answering our many questions. The surrounding area is beautiful and if you're looking for a jumping off point to explore the New Forest, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one. They also have great tastes in biscuits!

We absolutely recommend this listing! We would gladly stay here again in the future. The property is exactly as described and very comfortable. The garden area is beautiful and the entire property is very well maintained. The location is great with several restaurants within walking distance. They also have a folder in the room with restaurant recommendations, routes for countryside walks, and other useful information. Tea and coffee can be made in the room and water and snacks were provided. Excellent condition at an incredibly affordable rate.

Beautiful location, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable bed. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.
