Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Dorset

Lovely cottage, exactly as described with cats and quirks, cute and old with lots of character. Cats were lovely, even the slightly grumpy one, breakfast was well above expectations. Delicious! Comfy bed too. Great place, sad we only stayed one night really!

We really loved staying here - our getaways with a toddler + 2 dogs can be stressful, but this was such a great place to stay that it removed all stress. The location was peaceful and quiet, the village itself was small and walkable for the local pub and playground for our daughter. It was easy to drive to local tourist spots and all the roads were fine. The accommodation itself was comfortable and clean and had all we needed. Can’t thank our hosts enough for such a pleasant stay.

A lovely homely feel about this house. Close to town yet felt like we were out in the countryside. A relaxing surroundings for a few days of catching up with family. Sophie provided good information, easy access and helpful tips for enjoying Cowes.

Great Airbnb - comfy beds, lovely breakfast. Belinda very friendly and helpful. Dartington village is in the middle of some beautiful countryside but only 5mins drive to Totnes.

I loved staying here. I felt right at home. A lovely place to stay with generous and lovely hosts. Breakfast is particularly good. There is so much to do in the area I could have stayed longer!

We loved our stay in the Annex. It was very cozy and the grounds were beautiful with lots to do. We brought our dog with us and he loved the fenced paddock and field across the road. Our daughter loved the kids play area and we also had great fun on the massive trampoline! Runner ducks and peacocks in the garden! Winchester was a 20 min drive. All-in-all a brilliant few days!

We had a wonderful stay at Fiona’s place in Weymouth! The house is in a great location—just a short 15-minute walk to the beach and far enough from the pubs to enjoy peace and quiet, while still being close to all the action. It’s in a secure, gated area with on-site parking, which made everything so convenient. The room was clean, cozy, and just right for two people. While we felt very comfortable, a small -narrow desk at the end of the bed would be a nice addition . The whole house was spotless—Fiona clearly takes great pride in keeping it immaculate inside and out. One of our favorite parts was the private garden area with lovely views over Portland and the bay—absolutely perfect for relaxing. Fiona also served us a light continental breakfast, which was delicious and a great way to start the day. What truly made the stay special was Fiona herself. She’s incredibly friendly, charismatic, and easy to talk to—we felt like we were staying with an old friend. Highly recommended!

Mike and Celia are two friendly interesting people. They welcomed me into their home and everything is available to use. I highly recommend a stay here.

David was an excellent host. He was flexible with our check-in time which was very helpful. He also had not trouble catering for our dietary needs; coeliac (gluten free) and vegetarian. The room was very comfortable and clean, we slept very well. the bathroom was well equipped and spotless. It was great chatting to David, he's a lovely man with lots of local knowledge. Can't rate it highly enough, this was a fantastic stay.

This is my second time to Glastonbury & staying with Diana, such a great safe location less than 5 mins walk from the highstreet. felt right at home staying in Diana's can't wait to come back again next year.

We were walking the Clarendon Way, which passes right in front of Patsy’s place - so it was a perfect place for us to stop and rest before the second half of our walk. The room was spacious with a lovely little balcony. A variety of breakfast bits were available in the room and a couple of cold ones in the fridge which was much appreciated after 17 miles on foot! The bed was super soft, like a feathery cloud. Patsy and her family were really friendly and welcoming - would totally recommend!

Very nice room. I felt right at home. The house was very clean and cosy. Martin is very nice and helpful. I enjoyed the 6 weeks with him!

Rachel is friendly, polite, helpful and easy to talk to. She helped me with parking. The room is cosy and it has a large double bed which is very comfortable. The bathroom is a spacious, with the dining room, they have the nice decorations that I liked very much. I would recommend Rachel's lovely home.

It's a shame we only stayed for 1 night, the property was lovely, very well furnished. Lots of little extras really made it feel special. Lots of Board games to play with. Charges in every room, Lots of coffee and teas, cereals. The location was really lovely, wish we was there for longer.

We had a wonderful stay! The house has a beautiful garden and a charming traditional style. Everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Polly is a lovely and friendly host who respected our privacy, which made us feel completely at ease. She also kindly guided us to local sightseeing spots, which helped us make the most of our trip. Every morning, she prepared a lovely breakfast for us, including fresh bread with jam, milk, almond milk, cereal, tea, and coffee. It was a perfect start to the day. Highly recommended!

We stayed at Sue’s lovely place for a wedding nearby! She was so warm and welcoming. The beds were really comfy and the water pressure was great. She made us breakfast in the morning with yoghurt, fresh fruit and toast, and gave us a little tour around their home - the old chapel! Lovely stay and we’d definitely go back! Thank you xx

Beverely’s home was a perfect place for a stopover before continuing my travels. She and her partner were very friendly, and they exuded a relaxed atmosphere.

We had a lovely time at Anna’s accommodation, can’t recommend enough! Perfect location, short walk to the town centre and a very quiet peaceful place to stay. The breakfasts were a lovely touch and everything was clean and well equipped. Would definitely stay again x

Darren and Chi made us feel so welcomed in their home. Breakfast was delicious and they were extremely flexible and accommodating. Their home is ideally located adjacent to a stairway leading into Bournemouth Upper Gardens and about a 16 min jog to Bournemouth main pier/beachfront. Perfect if you're looking for a weekend away on the coast!

Lyn and John were fantastic hosts - being generous with lively conversation but also providing options for privacy as desired. I paid a reduced rate due to some regulars being out of town, but they are already providing an excellent value classic bed and breakfast service with homestay personal touches. Lyn offers a full cooked breakfast and cereals to all guests, but was happy to make adjustments to tastes and needs. John also makes a tasty coffee from the espresso machine. I would be glad to return if I am able to find a moment when they are not fully booked!

We had a delightful stay with Clive and Angie. They are very welcoming guests. The room with en suite was perfect for our needs, and made for an affordable weekend visiting the New Forest and Bournemouth. The room was bright and spotlessly clean, with some thoughtful touches. We also enjoyed cereals, fresh fruit, toast and preserves, fresh juice and a good pot of tea for our breakfast. Home from home! The recommendation to visit Friars Cliff on our way home was perfect. Thank you for welcoming us into your home. We would love to visit again.

The Loft was the perfect place to stay for our trip to Dorset. Everything felt very clean and the room had everything we needed including a lovely breakfast selection and a nice big shower. We had a very peaceful night's sleep as the location is really quiet but still close enough to plenty of attractions. Maria was very responsive and we received a very warm welcome. We'd definitely return again :)

I arrived tired after driving through lashing rain. I was made to feel immensely welcome. Everything was very fine indeed and Rachel had put a lot of thought into providing everything needed for a comfortable stay.

I stayed with Avril for one night and she is a very good host. The place was spotless, and in my room, which had a lockable door, I had tea and coffee making facilities, plus use of the main kitchen, for which she had bought me bread to toast for breakfast, as well as some chocolate filled buns. It's now my go to place to stay whenever I visit the area.
