Farmstay holiday rentals in North Dorset District

The property was perfect, the pictures are lovely and they reflect the quality. The property once there is outstanding and very peaceful. It’s one of those hidden Gem AirBnBs, we loved the stay and will hopefully return.

Beautiful little cottage tucked away but close to the village. Garden was perfect for me and my dog. The steep hill up to the garden didn’t phase us as the view was worth it with open fields and horses behind. Vanessa and Bruce were very responsive and friendly, they kindly accepted my booking on short notice. I didn’t want to leave! Would happily stay again.

Fantastic location. We crave peace and quiet and this location is superb. Ginny was very easy to deal with and met us on arrival. Superb host, fantastic location and room and beautiful breakfast laid on for us. Highly recommend and we will definitely return one day. Thank you Ginny for a wonderful stay.

The Airbnb was amazing and reached all expectations. The setting is wonderful, so peaceful and relaxing. The property itself is very clean and well laid out, providing everything needed. The touches of lovely flowers from the gardens, milk and biscuits and the toiletries in the bathroom were thoughtful and very much appreciated. It was fun meeting the alpacas and learning about them and being greeted by Maurice and Stanley, the family dogs when we arrived back each day. Charlotte and Joni were fabulous hosts, welcoming and helpful. They were available when we needed them but gave us privacy for our stay. I would highly recommend the property.

Lovely stay, everything you need right down to a pencil sharpener. Lovely lemon drizzle cake on arrival made us feel welcome. Would recommend 100% to anyone.

Lyn and David are the most wonderful hosts! David build the home from the ground up and it is very beautiful! We loved how homely it felt, comfortable beds, views that are out of this world and a really peaceful place to be! We can’t thank you both enough for allowing us to share your slice of Mendip Hills beauty!! Lyn left some homemade scones which were to die for! We have to revisit as we didn’t explore all the amazing walks and Wells in more detail , and would not think twice to stay again. PS there is a beautiful little shepherds hut nearby with the same amazing views also built by David (Lyn said because he was bored!) Hopefully David remains bored, we look forward to his next amazing space/s. We highly recommend you visit!

Sarah was the perfect host who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Cleeves House is a beautiful and peaceful barn with stunning views of the valley. It has been set up to meet all our needs during the stay with excellent amenities, big rooms, comfortable heating and tidy clean kitchen and bathroom. Just what we needed for a get away. We loved our stay.

The dovecote was well equiped, clean and comfortable in a rural location, but within easy drive of Salisbury. The Dovecote is part of a courtyard complex with the outside space at the front of the property and, as our stay was midweek, there were vehicles coming and going during the day, and the nearby road was also well used. As we were out exploring during the day this did not pose a problem for us as the evenings and early mornings were very quiet with lovely birdsong to wake up to.

My wife and I stayed here for a portion of an overall longer trip. This was by far our favorite stay. A beautiful place just as described, with easy access to the surrounding community. We will be back if we get the chance.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Granary. Its a really beautiful area for walks and we really appreciated the private little garden for our dog. We would have loved to have been able to stay for longer.

We had amazing stay at Axe Valley View for a long birthday weekend in June. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay with beautiful valley views. We especially loved how wildlife and eco-friendly it was, both inside and out. A short drive to Lyme Regis where we attended the Fossil Festival 2025 and great local hiking routes, including Golden Cap in Bridport. Alison was a lovely and welcoming host and we would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful setting and a beautifully built log cabin. Peaceful and tranquil. Well worth the money and we will return in the future. Visitors need to visit the anchor inn in seatown for lovely food and drinks

Had an amazing two night stay here. Was very easy to find following the instructions provided. Beautiful location and no noise. Cabin was really cosy and looked exactly like the pictures. It was very clean and provides everything you need and more. Hosts were very pleasant and welcoming also providing a nice book of things to do in the area. Definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future for sure!

Lovely bolthole - beautiful barn with a wonderful view over nice garden and fields. Well equipped for two people and comfy with nice living space and TV. Kitchen had everything we needed (and we did lots of cooking) and good oven/hob/BBQ. The best thing for us was the tennis court - it's an artificial turf court in excellent condition - played very nicely and we used it every day! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We had a lovely stay at Ana’s house. It had everything we needed to stay in and relax, and some great pubs nearby to eat out too. It was more spacious than the pictures suggest, with a great living area which looked out over a grassy field, trees and river. We managed some very British wildlife sightings too from the comfort of the living room with visits from red kites, deer and a young hare! Ana went above and beyond as a host welcoming us on arrival with a fresh loaf of home baked sourdough bread. It was a perfect stay!

An absolute stunning location off the beaten track in a completely rural setting, had everything you could hope for and more. Clare herself could not do enough and was the nicest host we had encountered on any trip, she was informative friendly and so generous to help our short stay. I had only said to my wife in the evening it is a shame there aren’t any binoculars to look into the beautiful scenery….. she then found them, every detail perfect nothing missed and every element carefully thought of to make it a perfect stay! I cannot recommend it enough!

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!

It was the perfect place for our young family and dog. Lots of space and peace and quietly whilst being close to the Jurassic Coast. Andrea was a fabulous host, very friendly and happy to help at all times. Highly recommend and we will be returning.

There are not enough words to do this property and Ava justice . It is truly stunning from its location to the laundered bedsheets , super equipped kitchen and so much more . We were made to feel so welcome . Ava and Chris really do go above and beyond . Our son Archie loved it and was encouraged by Ava to explore and see the cows . He really didn’t want to leave . Honestly we all wanted to stay . If you stay here , you will not be disappointed. We are looking for an excuse to come back

We had a wonderful time here. Lovely hosts, quality furnishings, appliances and linens. Welcome pack really appreciated (esp. the fizz). Quiet and peaceful surroundings, yet only 3 mins by car to Broadoak for shopping, another 5 to the beach/harbour at West Bay. Walks from the accommodation if that's your thing, loved it when Roger (the dog) visited morning and evening. Loved it, should have booked longer. Thank you for letting us stay here.

Highly recommended. This is our second visit. The apartment is very clean, well appointed and set in beautiful, well kept gardens. We enjoyed being able to walk our little dog in the private field/paddock at the rear of the property with lovely views of the surrounding fields and countryside. Well worth a visit and Steve is a very welcoming host.

Our stay at Rowena’s property was a perfect first getaway with our 2 month old and our dog. She was really responsive with our questions about the travel cot as well as giving us recommendations for local walks. The property is in a great location, a short walk to the centre of Lyndhurst for food and coffee. Also a great central location to get out and about in the new forest with the baby and the dog. Would definitely recommend.

Glorious few days exploring Bruton and Frome. Although the weather wasn’t ideal, the house was perfect for lazy breakfasts in the well-equipped kitchen and there was ample wood to light a fire in the fireplace in living room. We appreciated the fresh flowers in vases and enjoyed the delicious local produce that was waiting for us on arrival. The garden is breathtaking- we must have come at one of the very best times to enjoy it at its peak.

Strides Barn was a lovely place to stay. Lots of amenities and plenty of board games to keep everyone entertained. Only slight downside was it was very hot inside the cabin and we did not seem to have any control over it.. Other than that it was lovely. Good views, plentiful wildlife and lots of areas to explore a short car drive away.
