Lovely, Quiet Studio Annex (with Netflix)
As a seasoned AirBnB member this apartment was right up there with the best in terms of comfort, value, amenities (right down to a bottle of milk in the fridge) and ease of access. Perfect for a short break and the hosts should be proud of themselves for making such a great honesty. Thankyou. we will be back.

Amazing private studio space
A beautiful little studio flat in a gorgeous location. After a busy day out it really felt like coming home and we could relax with ease. The layout upstairs is just perfect with space to sit at the dining table, or at the coffee table with a drink. The kitchenette had everything we needed for a simple supper and the bathroom was squeaky clean. Thank you Vicki, we really enjoyed our stay.

Rural Idyll for dog-lovers near the New Forest
Alison‘s place was perfect, it has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is quiet and idyllic in a small village with lots of countryside walks from the door. There is a pub in the village and several not too far away if you need somewhere to eat. There is a Trout fishery in walking distance. Beds comfortable. The garden is perfect and enclosed for the dog to run around, and there is plenty of parking right outside the door of the cabin. Alison was an excellent unobtrusive host and left us initial provisions including eggs from her chickens and freshly cooked bread. What more could you ask for? We drove 25 minutes into the heart of the New Forest and hired bikes for the day. We’ll definitely be back!

The Countryside Loft in stunning rural Dorset
the loft was in a beautiful location with views across the valley. We were able to access many great walking locations nearby then return to comfortable accommodation. there is a roomy shower and plenty of places to hang outdoors boots and walking gear etc. Emma was helpful and accommodating

Peaceful garden annexe
We really enjoyed our stay here. Chloe is a great host and was really responsive to any questions we had, and also had some good local recommendations. The location is great, and has a lovely little shop and a great pub right by it. There are really nice countryside walks in the area, and it's also easy to get to Salisbury and all sorts of other places. The accommodation itself was really clean, comfortable, quiet and peaceful. We also got to meet the cat and one of the dogs! We would definitely stay again.

2 Double Bedroom 1st floor character apartment
Second time staying here, but we use the place as a base for visiting family so we can't easily comment on the tourist side of the location but from our point of view the location is situated in a beautiful part of somerset. Your not far from many locations and the area is very popular with cyclists, paddle boarders and dog walkers. Julie's place itself is spot less and the kids love it, I would like to apologise to Julie if the kids got too noisy enjoying the flat. They find it very comfortable and with young kids any changes in environment is always a challenge as it could affect their sleep. No problems here, plenty of space and comfort. Happy kids = happy parents. Happily recommend this place again and we will stay again if available/when we need it. Thank you

Traditional coach house in rural private estate.
What can I say, lovely property, lovely host! Amenities were more than adequate for a longer stay, and the host (Jeremy) and his family, have left us feeling well looked after and most of all made us feel very welcome! Thankyou for a lovely stay Jeremy!

Springfield
Nice little flat, perfect for weekend getaway. Host and people within in the area were nice!

Characterful 2-bedroom cozy cottage with garden
very nice place for our last minute trip. the host Laura is very responsive and really helpful. the cottage is lovely and the location is great (very peaceful, very close to shops and to crags). Also really love the tea selection!

Lucky Rabbit Retreat
I was lucky enough to find this absolute gem. It felt like home away from home. It was clean and cosy. Karin is kind enough to leave milk, butter, bread and a few other essentials for when you arrive. I came with my dog who absolutely loved the garden space and settled in very quickly. I had everything I needed in the kitchen if I wanted to cook up a storm, however with the amount of options of restaurants close by I cooked twice maybe. The living room was a great cosy space which was perfect for those rainy evenings. The bathroom was spotless and yet again the essentials were there if needed. The location was perfect, close to the beaches and so many other attractions in the area. We had walks within easy reach so my dog was happy. I was lucky enough to meet Karin and honestly she is such a vibrant person and so helpful.

Character Barn in the Heart of Beaminster
Little hidden gem in the beautiful little market town of Beaminster. The barn was perfect for 2 plus 2 dogs , very clean & the most comfortable bed & pillows . Lovely little touches milk & fizz , also dog treats. Beaminster is lovely, 2 pubs , restaurant & supermarket, also little individual shops. Lovely atmosphere, church bells ringing on Sunday morning was special. Only 20 mins drive from Lyme Regis , Bridport & West Bay . We will definitely be back

The Getaway: Quaint Log Cabin on Jurassic Coast
Our second stay at Tom and Naomi’s cabin - such a lovely little place. Great location within easy reach of many good places to visit. Lovely walk into Wareham, bus stop just across the road as well as a very handy little shop, and The King’s Arms just up the road - a superb pub. All in all a great spot - we will be back.

Cosy lodge, parking, beautiful setting, Lyme Regis
Our family had a lovely weekend at Helen's place. It was beautifully located, clean and safe for the kids (4 year old and 10 month old). It's a short walk to Uplyme and a 5 min drive to Lyme Regis. We would definitelly come back for a longer break.

Arne View Lodge, South facing with Hot tub.
Thank you for a lovely stay. Used the lodge as a base to visit Durdle door and Bournemouth, also found lots of great places to eat within a short drive. Aldi and Lidl very close. Great location. So nice to relax in the hot tub after! Baby friendly- took our 9m old and we had everything we needed.

Full use: hot tub/sauna/bbq/firepit/Netflix/Prime
We stayed at Little Oakford for our wedding anniversary and it was fantastic. Alaister and Gwen have created something very special here. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Easy access to come and go as you please, amenities with perfect for our needs and the mini spa at this place was amazing. Great location not far from Lulworth cove and Durdle door which was a very nice experience. Lovely local pub at the end of the lane which provided us with great food and drink. Highly recommend this place for people to go and enjoy. Would return to this place for sure!

Modern & Cosy Retreat - walk to beach, parking
Wonderful weekend away in the perfect location. Shelley is an amazing host! Would definitely come back. Thank you! Xx

A spacious home from home in North Dorset
Great communication, have booked another visit!

Milkwell’s heavenly place
A wonderful studio to stay and enjoy the delightful countryside which is on your doorstep. I’d highly recommend staying at Poppy’s studio.

Delightful barn in scenic North Dorset
Andrew and Janine were lovely hosts. They left a very generous tray of welcome goodies from local sources which I was very grateful for and Andrew gave me some great recommendations for activities while we were there. It was a beautiful and peaceful stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you

Country Cottage in heart of Somerset.
We loved this house! The house has a beautiful, calm aura. We slept very well. Fiona has decorated it with such style. She is very generous with the provision of essentials and all high quality products. We hope to return. In fact, I could live here!

Newly converted hilltop Chapel
We’ve just come back from a lovely long weekend staying in Gina’s beautiful converted chapel. The property is very tastefully designed and felt very much like a suite in a luxury country hotel. There are stunning walks and rolling countryside from the doorstep and Berwick St John is a very pretty little village. It was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend with our dog and truly felt like a home from home that we hope to return to again.

The Yorkshireman @ Piddlehinton
Really enjoyed our stay at Claires place ! She was a terrific host and the space was very cosy and relaxing . Have everything you need and more . Excellent hub for exploring Dorsets coast line and beauty spots amongst the hills . Highly recommend to anyone looking for a nice quiet break in the country! Thank you for hosting us !

Rural retreat in north Dorset with beautiful views
We had a great stay and would definitely book again! It was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the views and the air hockey table!

Spacious Stables Conversion
Damien’s place was the perfect place for a group of 7 of us to celebrate a hen do. We wanted somewhere a bit luxurious, peaceful and secluded so we wouldn’t disturb anyone. Damien’s place covered all bases! Check in was seamless, love the fact the key is secured inside the lockbox so you never have to take it out with you and risk losing it! Loads of nice touches around the house, lots of high tech that added to the luxury, but was easy to use. Clear instructions for everything on the iPad in the kitchen. Place was spotlessly clean. We hired a private chef to come in and cook for our group, he commented on how well the kitchen was stocked and what a beautiful space it was to cook in! Highly recommend this accommodation and would stay again!
