Family-friendly holiday rentals in North Dorset District

An absolutely dreamy escape for two! complete with scenic views, and enough special touches to feel at home. Fiona made everything so comfortable and we look forward to coming back!

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!

Stunning spot with great Glamping facilities. We loved the log fired sauna and hot tub. The site is carefully fenced so our Cockerpoo could charge around without us having to worry about livestock. Lovely area - which we know well and loved reconnecting with.

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!!

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

Amazing place! Perfect location for a family holiday. The house has absolutely everything you need and more. We really enjoyed sea kayaking and paddle boarding with all Daves's kit. The sea is so close you can carry everything down to the shore. We really loved the hot tub and sauna and bbq area. The games room was a great space for the kids to hang out and play as well as the adults. We couldn't have wanted more. We'd wholeheartedly recommend this amazing house.

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.

We had a lovely time. Love the location. Perfect for walkers. Inside was light and airy. Bed was very comfortable. The animals were happy and friendly and the area has lots of wildlife. We enjoyed going for walks and visiting Hungerfords Elaine's for lunch. Look forward to visiting again.

Hayley is a great host if you need any help or information where to get breakfast or the shop just ask . Great place to stay and relax , sunbathe, read .

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!

We had the most wonderful weekend at Willow Annexe! A huge thank you to Sally and Bob for the opportunity to stay in such a lovely place. Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. The annexe was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen – fully equipped and very convenient. The garden was a real highlight: peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained, offering a lovely space to relax and enjoy the fresh air. We absolutely loved the countryside views – so calm and picturesque. The village itself is amazing, full of charm and character. We even had the chance to pop into the local pub for a few drinks, which was a great experience. All in all, everything was fabulous. We had a truly memorable stay and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Highly recommended!

A super comfortable space to stay and great access to Salisbury and Winchester. Karin was lovely and very laid back. We d recommend this property

Beautiful surroundings, lovely house and a lovely host. Would definitely recommend and would love to return.

Me, my husband and our dog had a great stay at Rosemary’s. The place is very quiet and private. My dog liked sniffing about and exploring the farm. First time for Max, my dog, to see lambs and chickens up close and personal so he had a great time sniffing about all the new scents and experiences for him. The bathroom and house is very clean. Also a good size. Will definitely come back next time! Highly recommend the place if you are looking for some quiet time in the farm.

Very cute cottage with everything you need for a country weekend. Lovely and peaceful! Fun decor. Loved the small touches Marie left Prosecco and cakes which was very cute of her.

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

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.

A lovely lodge with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the view. Thank you for the box of goodies too! We will be recommending to friends!
