Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sherborne

Orchard Barn Spa is a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the city. We stayed there with our four month old and Chris was very accommodating, providing a baby bath etc. It provides the perfect base to explore all that the new forest has to offer, has ample parking space, is very clean and sits in a private plot. Thanks again Chris for a great stay and for your great communication throughout our trip.

We had an amazing time at this stay! The host was super friendly and helpful, and the place was exactly what we wanted. The check-in and check-out were also really easy and very flexible. I highly recommend this place!

We enjoyed a 3 night stay at The Stables. It was just as beautiful as the photos suggested and a perfect location for visiting Bath. It was a simple hop onto a bus at the end of the drive and be in the city centre within 15 mins. The quality of the furnishings in The Stables were clear to see & made our stay that much more luxe to help celebrate my 40th birthday. We had great weather and took full advantage of the hot tub to relax after a long day exploring Bath. We had a couple of queries for Nancy during our stay and Nancy was very quick to respond in a very polite & helpful manner. Thanks for a lovely stay Nancy!

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

What a beautiful little place! Fiona is a lovely host and the place is beautiful with everything you need. Much needed reset for my husband and I. Thank you! 😊

Great place to stay with great sorroundings! Highly reccomend staying here.

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.

Thank you so much for hosting us Tracy. The hut was perfect, beautifully furnished with lots of thoughtful touches. The best bit was the location, private and secluded. The view from hut was just of rolling hills - no buildings or even roads in sight! A place to unwind and de-stress.

We had a wonderful family stay at Brook Cottage - with 3 generations there was something for everyone! Vanessa was so kind and welcoming and explained all the facilities to us, there was a comprehensive folder inside too. We absolutely loved the cottage, it was immaculately clean, beautifully decorated and so well equipped too. Everyone slept well in the comfy beds. The games room was great for our teenagers and grandparents could join in too. We also enjoyed games on the grass area near the glamping site and our bbq area/ garden was private and beautifully peaceful with wonderful seating area. We wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend to friends. Thanks Vanessa!

Another lovely stay at Lidyates Cottage So comfortable and convenient for Lyme- Regis. Thanks again.

Stayed here for a wedding at Hatch house and it was stunning. Beautiful cottage and scenery and super comfy beds, would definitely come back to explore the area and do some walks, as there’s a footpath right by the house. Host was easily contactable and very friendly, would highly recommend this spot!

We had a lovely stay, the location was perfect as was the flat. Very clean and comfortable with all you need for your stay and lovely dogs are welcome even though the flat had zero dog smell or dog hair ☺️. If we had to find a tiny negative it was maybe the pub next door which has live music each weekend so can be a little noisy but it would not put us off staying here again. We were also very grateful for the parking permit and most of the time we’re able to park directly opposite the flat. All in all a lovely stay! Thank you Cate!,

Janey's place was in a lovely, secluded corner of Compton Abbas that provided a true sense of peace and privacy in stunning surroundings, whilst remaining just a short car journey away from town. Our lovely hostess was extremely charming and her Airbnb was full of thoughtful, personal touches throughout the property that made us feel right at home. We could not recommend Janey enough and encourage anyone to consider staying at her place. It's truly one in a million with a beautiful boat accessible lake right on the doorstep and acres of land to explore. Steve & Anna

We really enjoyed our stay at Louise's place. It was in a beautiful location which for us was quiet and relaxing from our London hustle. Louise's recommendations regarding local amenities' and things to do was super helpful and we can positively endorse the many items she recommended. The studio flat was spacious and perfect for us especially with the outdoor space, great reviews from us regarding the cleanliness and comfort. Many thanks!

This little cottage is beautiful and just what we needed to break our journey up. Shame we only had one night, but Mary had left us eggs and bread, so when we arrived we were a bit peckish and this was perfect to arrive too! The cottage has kept its original features which are stunning. It’s a peaceful area with a stream nearby. Beds were comfortable. Perfect for one nights, or even a weekend away. With ample facilities such as bbq’s/games if you should wish to use and take advantage of. Tea, coffee, sugar, cereals, milk, eggs to help yourself too, is really handy and helpful. Check in was easy with a code sent to myself. Communication great from hosts also.

Cecilia was so friendly and responsive. The home was a perfect fit for us to stay, and was cute, charming, cozy, and quaint. She left us breakfast and even little chocolate candy bars! The back garden is SO lovely and we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

We had a lovely week at Alpine Grove touring park. Clear communication from Keith. The space was very clean and had all facilities needed for our stay. Our toddler also really enjoyed the swimming pool! Would definitely stay again. Loved it

Private & peaceful location, beautiful surroundings and friendly hosts. Great experience overall👍

Our family loved staying at the condo. Jacqui & Tony were extremely accommodating and answered all our questions in a speedy manner. The pool is a very nice touch to the air bnb. We used it once as the weather was very nice whilst we were there but definitely would’ve used more if the weather hadn’t been as good. Thanks Jacqui & Tony

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

The views from Seascape are wonderful and added greatly to our holiday. From sunny breakfast on the deck to cosy evenings watching the sun set we found everything we needed and we felt at home straight away. The lodge was immaculate and Judith dealt quickly with the only issue we had when the oven had a fault, so our holiday was not impacted greatly. It's a 15 minute walk into Swanage with an uphill return or free 2 hrs parking next to the Co op if you spend £10 there. Altogether a perfect place to enjoy Swanage and explore the Isle of Purbeck.

This is our second time staying in this lovely caravan. It’s always pristine and lovely. I always felt like a home away from home there. The bedrooms are a good size and the extra full bathroom is a definite plus! I’d highly recommend staying here.

We've just returned from another wonderful stay at this property in Long Sutton. As returning guests, we were delighted to find it just as perfect as we remembered. The location is stunning, offering peace and tranquility, and the property itself is immaculate. This time, we particularly enjoyed the pool and sauna – a real treat! We can't wait to return. Many thanks to George and Gill for the amazing hospitality.

This is our first Airbnb stay, also our first stay taking our dog. Having read and turned down a number of other Airbnb places the ducks wing seemed to fit the bill (no pun intended). The garden is lovely and secure, the rooms are extremely quirky which we both liked, our dog loved it. We didn't make best use of the many facilities including the pool, BBQ etc. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden listening to the countryside. As I've said our first experience with Airbnb but we were very impressed.
