Cottage holiday rentals in Dorset

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Iveta was a fantastic host and everyone we met at Timbercombe was incredibly friendly. The lodge is super cosy and perfect in every way. All of our expectations were exceeded! Amazing hot tub, squeaky clean accommodation and mega comfy. We walked miles with our dog every day, leaving completely refreshed. Thanks so much!

What a wonderful and truly beautiful home. Was a pleasure to stay in this serene countryside hotspot with a tree house, playground, incredible private lake and surrounding natural beauty. Very special. Can’t recommend enough!

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!!

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!

had a lovely weekend, the cottage was so beautiful, felt magical! everything you need is there, is was comfortable and clean. the local area is also lovely, great walks and little village. will definitely be back.

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

Had to struggle for a while to discover Little Coombe in the tangle of small roads. It later became clear that it is located near the A30 motorway. To then discover the house beautifully set in greenery. Surprised by flowers on the table, treats and brand new eggs. Thank you, Julie! Julie is a very friendly host. Also very discreet. This property being attached to the main house felt completely private, with a delightful garden and views. Comfortable, tastefully decorated, very cosy. The kitchen is also very well equipped. The folder with practical info and ideas was very valuable for us. We enjoyed our stay at Little Coombe and return home with fond memories.

Seafield Cottage is perfectly located with easy access to Lulworth Cove and a number of hiking trails, including Durdle Door and the trails along the cove. Absolutely stunning views. Lovely pubs close by and the salt sauna (which you need to book early if hire going to get a good time!). The cottage was super well equipped, comfortable and clean beds and rooms at a very good standard. The master room at the top of the 3 floors was gorgeous with an ensuite. The bunk bed room is great for kids, less so for overflow adults so really it’s a 2 x double bed property sleeping 4 adults + 2 bunk beds (4 in total) for kids. Emma was super responsive to any questions and gave comprehensive instructions and recommendations for the local area. I’d definitely come back and would recommend.

Had a wonderful solo stay with my dog at Dawn’s place. The cottage was cozy, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. Great local walks right from the door, a friendly dog-welcoming pub nearby, and a real sense of peace. Felt safe and relaxed the whole time —would absolutely return. Thanks for having us Dawn!

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 had a brilliant stay at the Pink House! The house itself was beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting - we felt really at home here. Deborah was very friendly and responsive in her communication and sent us lots of local recommendations of things to do and places to visit. The garden was really private and we loved the built in BBQ and home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and the welcome basket that we're waiting for us when we arrived. The Pink House is in a great location with walks right from the front door and only 15-30 mins drive to the various beaches. We had a wonderful stay and wished we booked for longer - we'll definitely be back again!

Wonderful half term stay at little Gem Cottage. We used it as a base to explore Dorset, Somerset and even drove through Devon. It is well equipped for a baby with a lovely clean highchair. The kitchen was light and well stocked, we cooked every night.

Thank you so much to Heidi and Jake, we chose Spaniel cottage for our first dog holiday and we all had the best time , so relaxing, peaceful, and the most gorgeous walks up at Ham Hill (all recommended by Heidi before our arrival) . Check in was smooth and easy and also very flexible, Spaniel Cottage was beautiful and instantly felt like a home from home, had everything we needed for a relaxing stay including a very well stocked hamper which we weren’t expecting which was a lovely touch. Thank you so much , we hope to come and stay again soon!

We had a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage was very pretty and had lots of character and charm- it felt homely too- we loved that it was dog friendly. The local countryside and coast was stunning and easily accessible from the cottage. The hosts were very responsive and friendly-would recommend!!

We had a lovely stay at the Condo. It had everything we needed, plus really homely touches. Access to the indoor pool was really great especially for a rainy day with our 1 year old. Jacqueline and Tony were very welcoming. Great location and a peaceful get away. We were sad to leave.

very nice and cosy accomodation, in the middle of nowhere (what we wanted). well equipped. very relaxed stay.

This cottage was perfect for our stay full of character and with a garden to sit in Claire was a lovely host and met us on arrival there was wine and milk in the fridge just what we needed would highly recommend this place for a holiday

Kilnside was a wonderful stay — beautifully clean, well appointed, and very peaceful. We especially loved the excellent shower, fully equipped kitchen, and lovely outdoor space. Ange is a wonderful host with great communication. Already looking forward to returning!

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.

My husband and I had the most wonderful stay at Synderford Lodge - a charming well equipped cottage with beautiful very private garden. The only sounds were of the birds, and cows in nearby fields - bliss. If you want a break away from it all this is the perfect spot. However, it is also well placed for great days out, either on the coast or further inland. We were sorry we couldn't stay for longer and we would definitely stay there again.

Amazing stay in the place, Lovely pubs around & friendly faces. Clean space and Petra very attentive and easy instructions to get access to the house. Thankyou for our stay Petra! x

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!
