Holiday rentals with lake access in Purbeck District

We had a fantastic 2 night stay at the chapel. Lovely interiors, comfy beds and very peaceful surroundings. The beach is only a short drive and Stephanie recommended some delicious food options- The parlour for Italian in the coolest setting and sundorbon authentic Indian who delivered to the door…would highly recommend both! Overall a little gem!

Very homely and very well stocked caravan. Nice and quiet when we stayed. Parking space at the side big enough for 2 cars. Samantha was very helpful and very responsive to messages. Activity passes included making this a very reasonably priced place to stay.

John’s Barn is a stunning light and spacious holiday home , beautifully designed and furnished , and set in a peaceful , green countryside setting with acres of woodland to explore . We loved the private and pretty garden , and the walk to the lake to feed the fish . Our grandchildren loved the trampoline and play area , and the tree swing in the garden . Bobbie is a warm and friendly host who respected our privacy - we really enjoyed meeting her . We enjoyed visiting Romsey, and loved exploring the New Forest and all it has to offer . We will be returning - something we rarely do !

Thank you to Scott for our short break to his accommodation. It was very clean and beautifully presented. Good location for dog walks and beaches. I would highly recommend.

We had a very lovely stay. Nicola provided a high chair and travel cot to accommodate for our 10 month old baby. The hot tub was lovely and private and the views were stunning.

What a wonderful find, location, location, location! The lodge is right on the river where you can watch the daily foray of boats, paddle boards, canoes and wildlife. The lodge itself was very clean with plenty of storage and cupboard space. Gorgeous outside space with strategically placed hammocks and chairs to watch the world go by. I had a massage in the spa which was wonderful and we all went in the sauna with its cold water pool, all on site, what an experience! Christchurch high street is 2 mins away with its many restaurants and shops. I would definitively recommend this Airbnb.

A lovely, relaxing couple of nights stay. The Coach House has all you need, is warm and cosy and very comfortable. The beds are super comfy and the duvets really warm and cosy. The garden is very private and a lovely feature, and for anyone staying in warmer weather has everything you need to spend plenty of time outdoors. If you're looking to keep your steps up, try a walk round the lakes, lots of bird life, very interesting. The lighting system took a bit of getting used to but is very ambiant and well thought out. The kitchen has plenty of space so you can cook and chat. It would have been good if the oven had worked but we were told about this beforehand and provided with an airfryer so could work around this quite easily. The host was always quick to respond, kept in touch and made our stay very easy. I would recommend The Coach House for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. All the quirky little touches make The Coach House quite unique and we would definately return.

We stayed here as a family to visit our extended family who live locally. Anthony welcomed us and was extremely pleasant and friendly, few tips on places to eat etc It is a lovely lodge tucked away in the countryside and only 10 minutes drive to the nearest town with all amenities that you could need. 25-30 minutes drive to Bournemouth. Lots of lovely country pubs in the surrounding areas. Spotlessly clean and perfect place to relax in between visits to family members. Would definitely stay here again if it’s available when visiting them again.

Perfect location looking across Weymouth beach & bay. A nostalgic return to our childhood holiday destination on Weymouth Esplanade. Don is a great host & obviously loves Weymouth & the surrounding area. The addition of the parking permit for a nearby carpark is a welcome bonus! Flat is ideal for a home from home get away. A great couple of days break. Thanks, Don

Lovely tractor house to stay in. Has all the things you’d expect in a studio flat. Not very accessible if you don’t have a car fyi (not a fault of the place at all) but otherwise lovely.

An absolutely beautiful place to stay. It was so quiet and peaceful, absolutely lovely walks around the lake where we saw deer and baby geese. The place itself was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. We had fresh eggs from Jo and Jay’s chickens, juice, milk and other breakfast bits. The place came with binoculars which we used on our walk around the lake and on our day at Arne. We bumped into Jo who came out of her way to say hello and to ask how everything was. I cannot fault a single thing about our stay, it was exactly what we needed to relax ans detox and we will absolutely be back in the future!

The caravan’a main living area felt much more spacious than we imagined and there was quite a good sea view. It was right by the amenities yet still quiet. Parking was a little tricky but we have a big car and you can always use the main car park which always had spaces and felt very safe. Lovely resort with friendly, helpful and professional staff.

Thank you for welcoming me into your exceptional home. From the moment I arrived you guys made me feel welcome and the property you have is really beautiful and well taken care of. I there for will definitely be coming back 😊 Thank you guys & Take Care Tekel Jarrett

Sheralee's apartment is in an absolutely perfect location for enjoying a holiday in Sandbanks. The views are so beautiful and peaceful of the harbour from the balcony, bedroom window and living room window. There was everything we needed in the Airbnb and we loved eating dinner on the balcony as well as at the dining table in the living room. Would highly recommend staying here and we would love to come back another time. So lovely that there is such easy access to both the harbour side (we did kayaking there) and the beach side through the Jazz Café entrance to the beach. Also, having the Tesco Express as part of the same building was really handy to buy food from!

The Hideaway is a spacious annexe with easy access through the garden. Julie is really friendly and helpful. The house is in a pleasant and quiet street, with easy parking. It's 5 mins by car to the centre of town and the beach, and 5 mins on foot to shops, including Lidl. We had a lovely time visiting family in Weymouth and would definitely come again - thank you Julie!

Ecerything was exactly as described. Check in simple. Very clean and tidy. Location was spot on for what we needed. Managed to get both cars on the driveway and we were allowed to keep both cars on there after check-out whilst we did other activities. Communication was also very quick, highly recommended. Thank you

What a stunning property, great amenities, private garden and the wider estate was beautiful. Sandra was there to greet us and always available with advise on where to eat locally etc. Sandra allowed us to roam around her gardens and lake, swans, ducks, geese and deer to be found. The two local pubs, both within 10 minute walk were warm and welcoming serving lovely food. The location on the very edge of the New Forest gave is great access to the area. We explored every day and found somewhere new. We would book here again for sure.

Lovely little cottage with a secure garden. The village has a fantastic little shop for everything you need and a very friendly village pub with great food.

What a beautiful location, cosy house, comfy beds and great views. The area around the cottage is lovely with a lot of wildlife. Janey is very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely stay!

We loved our stay at Red Cottage. It was the perfect place to stay for our group. Jane was incredibly helpful throughout and made great local recommendations. The cottage was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Each bedroom is like a complete hotel room with its own luxurious en suite giving each part of the family somewhere they could relax alone when they wanted that time away from the communal space. We all had a brilliant time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Had a lovely three night stay at Lake Cottage. The surroundings are beautiful and our two dogs loved having the enclosed garden to play in. Morning walks around the lake were peaceful due to the secluded nature of the cottage. Would definitely recommend for others. The cottage itself is modern, clean and very well maintained.

This is our second stay at Lakeside Barn and again it lived up to our expectations. Such a beautiful place with peaceful surroundings. Anna and George are the perfect hosts and I would have no hesitation in recommending the barn.

A lovely 2 bed AirBnB that was well equipped (including dishwasher and washing machine), comfortable, charming and homely. The host's communication is excellent and friendly and I can heartily recomend staying here. The Smugglers Inn pub is nearby (but not at all noisy) and serves great food. There are a couple of other places to eat/drink in the village that looked very enticing but we didn't get the opportunity to try them. Maybe next time. It's in a great location within a short drive of various attractions and local villages and towns. All in all, a great discovery and I'm sure we'll use this particular AirBnB again.

We had a great stay at the Hideaway. The property is really beautiful, peaceful and relaxing, sitting in the middle of farmland and surrounded be countryside. I can really recommend the Hideaway if you are looking for somewhere to decompress and unwind. Thank you Amy for all your help.
