Holiday rentals with lake access in West Dorset 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!

Super comfortable and beautifully designed house, stocked with almost anything you can want The estate is beautiful and has tons to do So glad I found this place!

Three of us and the dog stayed at David’s cottage and we had a wonderful time. The place was spotless when we entered, it was everything we needed. David was very communicative and helpful. We spent a lot of time in the garden as luckily the weather was in our favour and it was fenced in so the dog could run around with furniture for us to use. The cottage is in a perfect location, off of the main road so it was quiet and peaceful and just down the road from the sandbanks which we visited frequently. I highly recommend anyone interested in staying here I haven’t got a single fault! :)

Thankyou, we had a really pleasant 3 day break with friends in this lovely Dorset cottage. The views and garden were gorgeous( shared with owner) and the cottage well equipped, very comfortable and hygienic. Our host was readily available to help with any queries. We hope to return in the future. On arrival after pulling up and believing we were in someone elses private drive, I would suggest changing wording on instructions to get to house to Old Brewery( instead of Brewery Cottage) and put a sign on back gates to say Barley Cottage. This might be helpful at front too.

We had an absolutely fabulous time at the brewery. The views are outstanding. Photos cannot do it justice. Our teenagers swam in the pond multiple times each day. The sun is on the patio from morning to sunset (and wow what a sunset). We had most things that we needed and were greeted with a lovely welcome package. Lots of flexible sleeping options. We will definitely return. Thanks so much Eddie.

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.

This was the best air b and b stay I’ve had! It was so peaceful and quiet. I booked it for my mums birthday and she was blown away by the property. If you are looking to get away and relax this is the place! Everything was such high quality and felt very homely. Thank you ☺️

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.

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!

We booked this place for my dad while he was moving house, so it needed to be on the ground floor, easy to access and a good location. It was all these things, and Katherine was a great host. We had an issue with the internet half way through the stay which meant that he had no internet connection at all, this was a problem with the provider that was not able to be resolved despite her many attempts. In every other respect Katherine was a great host and the house was very tidy and comfortable.

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

We had a great time at Debby and Grant’s, loved the caravan and location. Everything we needed and more, thank you guys! We’re looking forward to our next stay!!

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!

We stayed here whilst doing a Uni visit and only wished we could have stayed longer. The house is beautiful and has everything we needed. A perfect, relaxing setting. Particularly, sitting on the decking by the lake. We took our dog who also loved all the grassy areas. A lovely treat was watching from the window the rabbits & goats playing. Highly recommend!

Thanks Pippa for the stay in your beautiful cottage. We came down for a wedding at Coombe Lodge, which was a 14 min walk away and we felt like it was a home away from home. Modern yet cosy, a good use of space for 6 adults and a baby and good amenities close by. We would stay again and would recomiendas to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway.

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 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!

James and Emma are very welcoming hosts. Wellhayes is a peaceful haven, giving us a restorative break away from the hustle of daily life. We had a lovely relaxing afternoon using the sauna and dipping into the lake. Thank you!

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.

Helen and Paul’s place is the most beautiful and thoughtfully curated Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. This home truly goes above and beyond, every room is filled with beautiful, thoughtful touches that made our stay feel so special. From homemade sourdough bread waiting for us, to individual toiletries and everything you could possibly need already provided, it was clear how much care and love has gone into creating this space. The garden was absolutely stunning, with cozy, comfortable furniture perfect for relaxing. And the hot tub under the stars! Just magical. The entire stay felt like a peaceful retreat, and we left feeling completely recharged. Helen and Paul were the perfect hosts — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We can’t recommend this place highly enough.

This is a stunning, very old property in the most beautiful location. We were grateful for the communication with Sally before and during our stay. There is so much to do both inside and outside the house. Wish we had more time to explore the area.
