Woodcutter's Cottage
The cottage was beautiful and we loved that there were Christmas decorations up. It had everything that we needed and more. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing place to stay.

Coastal, New Forest 3 Bed Home Facilities Included
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! 🩷

Large coastal cottage with spa and private pool
Fabulous property great pool and hot tub would highly recommend to any families for holidays

Spacious Caravan near sea Weymouth Bay Haven
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.

Stunning Home with Roof Terrace at Silverlake
Super comfortable and beautifully designed house, stocked with almost anything you can want The estate is beautiful and has tons to do So glad I found this place!

East Creek + beach side + pool, dog Ringstead Bay
location was absolutely perfect for a relax and a decent walk everyday, we paddle boarded up the coast both ways and the scenery was stunning and finished most days with a swim in the pool. if you're after a close too everything place too stay this isn't the place for you but if you're looking for a break away from the world then this will tick all your boxes 🤗

Flint Cottage for two with indoor pool & sauna
We had a blissful few days at Flint cottage. Wonderful kitchen to cook in, and multiple fabulous farm shops nearby. We ordered a heat and eat pie and a DIY breakfast pack for our first night, which made the start of the holiday so much more chilled out. The outdoor bath was also really special. We were so comfortable throughout we just relaxed completely. Can’t wait to come back!

Sapphire @ Oakdene Forest Park
Fantastic stay on a lovely site. Very quiet corner location, tucked away although main parking space is under a tree so try to avoid if you don’t want lots of bird poo on your car!! Very clean caravan with lots of very thoughtful extras for every kind of guest. WiFi very reliable, access passes to site amenities sent over without needing to ask and clear instructions given for check out. Would stay here again.

Elegant Garden Cottage in the Heart of Swanage
We stayed at Stephen’s house over the Easter holiday and found the location perfect for accessing the Town and beach. The house and gardens are fantastic and we really felt at home over the four days. The weather wasn’t the best but we still made use of the wonderful garden and also the games cupboard and television due to the weather. Plenty of takeaways, food shops and pubs in the area and all in all a great location to spend time with your family especially if the weather is on your side. Thank you Stephen.

Entire 4 bed house Swanage, Dorset
We had a lovely weekend at Sophie’s house, the location is fab and the house has everything you need. It was ideal for 2 families and a dog.

Mary’s Cottage, central, 4 double bedrooms, 3 OSP
Perfect house for our 3 generations, plenty of comfortable space. Great location, quiet, parking and easy walk to beach. Well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Clare was a very responsive host.

Large home 5 min walk to beach | sea view| parking
Lovely home in a great location, the nearest beaches seem to be the nicest and are quieter. House was a great space for our little one to run around, inside and out. Some lovely touches too including a welcome pack. Great stay

Ridgeview Cottage
Great stay in Corfe Castle. Beautiful, well maintained and very well furnished property. Everything and more that was needed was available in the cottage. Very comfortable and large lounge area. Beds were comfy and the kichen had everything you required if you wanted to prepare your own meals. The decor in every room was tastefully done and the bathrooms were spotless. It had an artificial lawned garden with was ideal and patio table and chairs, which we we used regularly for breakfast as the weather was so good. Slight negative for some people might be the location of the property next to a main A road. We knew about this before we arrived, so it didn't bother us but the location for the village is great, a 10 minute walk to Corfe castle. We would definitely use this property again.

Swanage, 3 bed detached house minutes from the bea
Comfotable, well- appointed within easy walking distance of beach. Good size garden for relaxation.

Beach Stroll Retreat, Swanage, Dorset
Simon's house has everything that a family needs on holiday. It is warm, comfortable, clean and having the three floors is ideal because it meant that we (the grandparents) had our own bedroom and bathroom on the top floor, whilst the children (aged three and five) and their parents had their own bedrooms and bathroom on the first floor. In terms of location, it is perfect because it is just a five minute stroll to the beach where the children play happily for hours on end. We ate every day at the cafe. Alternatively, a short walk uphill connects with the coastal path leading up to Ballard Down, one of the most beautiful walks / runs imageineable with far-reaching views towards Poole harbour and the Isle of Wight. The town itself has plenty of facilities, including the steam engine to Corfe Castle, a lovely day out. Thank you Simon.

A Striking Architectural House
An absolutely beautiful home with outstanding facilities - our stay was perfect from start to finish. Gemma was incredibly helpful and attentive in the lead up. We couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Self-contained annexe in popular Wimborne Minster
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.

Charming Sea view home in Swanage
The house was great for 12 of us, aged from 60s down to a 1 year old. Plenty of space for everyone and comfy beds. Also, enough crockery, cutlery, glasses, saeting etc for this number of people. The area is beautiful and perfect for a traditional seaside holiday. Jenny was very friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend staying here.

180° views toward Corfe Castle, private parking
Ideal base for walking in the Purbecks. We felt right at home and the field out the front was perfect for early morning walks with our collie. Great walk into Wareham too. Comfy bed and well equipped kitchen.

Cobweb Cottage, Winfrith Newburgh
It was great experience staying at The Cobweb cottage as it is very beautiful, nice and clean. We enjoyed our time there. I also would like say special thanks to Celia who was very proactive and responsive to our request.

Historic farmhouse, modern twist
We have had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage with the family this May half term. The house itself was very stylish and clean, had everything you would need for a Comfortable stay. The Garden was beautiful and huge, the BBQ area was great and we very much enjoyed out evenings meals out there under the heaters listening to music. The location of the house was great, a short drive to many popular attractions, we went to Weymouth one day, Durdle door/ Lulworth cove another and Corte Castle itself. Across the road is a lovely walk up to the castle from the house, roughly 3 miles in total there and back, our littles ones loved it. Paul was a great host, always very good at responding to requests/ messages. Sent us some great local recommendations too. Would definitely recommend this home stay to friends and family.
Purbeck Stone 3 Bed Cottage With Garden by the Sea
We had a fantastic stay in Swanage, the house was very clean and looked exactly like the photos. The area is quiet and peaceful, the house has a lovely private garden. The beach/town is only a small walk away, no need to use your car! Would 100% stay here again. Sally was very attentive and helpful.

Historic town centre riverside hideaway
A truly special place. The pictures actually don’t do justice to how spacious it is, and how immaculate and well thought out it is, and the Wind in the Willows theme works perfectly in the peaceful surroundings of the riverbank. It’s a really calming and cosy place, and sitting eating breakfast by the riverbank was a joy. The spa bathroom is an extra treat on top. Chris and Judy were extremely proactive and we arrived fully informed with local recommendations and everything was easy to check in and out. We met Judy on the second day who very kindly greeted us and gave us more tips on things to do nearby. We hope one day to return!

Deer Hollow, Studland - Amazing Beaches
Really enjoyed our stay at Deer Hollow. Very comfortable home with everything we needed. Great location and we found plenty to do within easy reach for the 4, 8 and 12 year olds. Pizza night at Old Harry’s Bar just down the road was a great find, and the Water Park was a real success… had to go back for a second round!
