Guest house holiday rentals in East Dorset District

The annex is clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped. Nice area, really peaceful. Sliding patio doors overlook the garden, with lots of trees and bird song. Very little other sound which is amazing for somewhere so close to Dorchester. Clear instructions for everything, lots of parking and the hosts are friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful weekend in Marsha’s Airbnb. It was well appointed, clean and comfortable. We are a couple with two medium sized dogs and the garden studio was a perfect size. The walk into Bradford-on-Avon was lovely through the woods (approx 15 mins). We walked to Bath along the Avon and Kennet Canal and got the train back. Highly recommended. Bradford-on-Avon is a firm favourite of ours. Loads of pubs and restaurants and simply beautiful. We recommend the Timbrells Yard for dinner and drinks on the terrace. Marsha was really welcoming and helpful. Can’t fault this place. Thank you.

We had a fantastic time staying at James and Emma’s. Whilst the location is tucked away off the normal path, their clear instructions made it easy to find. Their restaurant recommendations were also great and meant we found some real gems that we wouldn’t have otherwise known about. We would love to stay again if we were ever back in the area.

The most lovely host, and perfect stay. Forever grateful and would recommend 100x over.

Fantastic little place to stay, central to an amazing area with loads to do. Home was exactly as described and clean and clutter free with essentials provided. Barbara was friendly and provided local recommendations within the guidance. Would stay again.

There’s a dilemma when finding a gem.. do you keep to yourself (and enable ease of rebooking) or share ? David and Candida are so generous to share their incredible property, it is only right to share my opinions too. This place is incredible- the location, spotless property and abundant tranquility. Probably difficult to access in the winter, but staying in spring was like being whisked away to Somerset heaven. Take some slippers for the stairs (cast iron uncomfortable underfoot) but that was the only flaw in a delightful stay.

Extremely happy with everything at this place. Kids loved the toys and enjoyed the garden. They wished they had stayed a little longer. We appreciate that there were options of breakfast included, never got that before in any other place, very kind gesture. Very cosy and spacious. Would highly recommend *****

Had a lovely stay at Caister cottage. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Our accommodation was exactly as we had hoped. Lovely setting with walks straight from the house into the new forest. Easy to walk to several pubs and into Lyndhurst.

The perfect place to be able to rest for a few hours after my event, before the ferry home. Sharon was very communicative and accommodating, and I can’t thank her enough for giving me a place to stay. The studio is clean, cosy, and private. Just perfect Thank you. ❤️

Stayed for the one night. Hot tub, pool table and dart board made for a great evening. Cassie was a brilliant host very responsive when we had questions, even letting us have a late checkout and a bbq on the patio. Due to lack of kitchen amenities wouldn’t really recommend for a longer stay but for a quick getaway it was perfect. Thank you Cassie we had a great time would definitely recommend.

Spent one night here pre a mini cruise, it was very clean and cosy, a warm feel. Comfortable bed, everything you need for a brew in the morning and even breakfast and snack options if you needed something, a really delightful little gem of a place.

Lovely stay, location was perfect and private, especially with the resident animals we were able to see. Perfect getaway

Had a brilliant time at the cabin - lots of lovely walks nearby, great buzz when we stopped by the brewary, and the cabin itself was beautiful and equipped with everything we needed. Tom & Lucy were fantastic & very helpful hosts. Fresh bread & beer were highly appreciated!

The Crest is modern, clean and comfortable. Situated in a perfect location to explore Dorset coastline. It had everything we needed for our long weekend break. Shelley is an excellent host, very responsive. The little extras (hamper, milk, tea, coffee,sugar etc) were very appreciated. Thank you.

Lovely few days spent at the cabin which is in a great location with helpful hosts.

The Den is a wonderful place to stay, with a wonderful garden and stream, and generous hospitality from Sue and her husband. With good wifi and immaculate decor, it's a perfect place to stay if you're on your way to the Army Flying Museum.

Just back from a beautiful stay near Swanage. Loved the comfortable and cosy cottage provided by our warm and welcoming hosts Charlotte and Will. Such a peaceful and tranquil location. Stylishly furnished too and equipped with everything you need for your holiday. Some lovely touches as well, including fresh bread, goodies, a chilled bottle of rose and lovely Beauty Pie shower products. The location is just perfect. A 10 minute stroll to the Southwest Coast Path and Durleston Country Park just a 20 minute walk away. An easy 20 minute walk in to Swanage but allow an extra 10 mins for the uphill walk back. We would definitely come back again to enjoy the delights of the beautiful Isle of Purbeck and were better to stay. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us.

Had the pleasure of staying at The Stables over Easter weekend. Well kept property which was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Great outdoor area with hot tub as described overlooking the garden. Nancy was a great host and very responsive.

Another fabulous stay at the Yorkshireman. Claire was the perfect host again - there but not there! We rarely, if ever, go anywhere twice but would visit again. Just love everything about the Yorkshireman and surrounding area. Hope to be back again sometime ❤️

We've just had a two night stay at the Garden Room. Location is excellant for the beach and local shops, we were extremely lucky with the weather so added bonus spending some time on the lovely sandy beach. Lovely coastal walks Hengistbury head etc..nearby. The Garden Room was clean and tidy, check in and communication from Suzy and Andrew was also excellent. Would highly recommend.

Very happy with the stay, beautiful garden. In the end place might have been a bit small for our family of four, but overall everything was good.

We had a great stay at Maria and Marks - thank you! The cabin was homely and comfortable and we all enjoyed the hot tub! The location is fantastic and we appreciated the recommendations Maria provided! Visiting Moors Valley and getting the ferry over the Mudeford Spit / Sandbank for the beautiful beaches were our highlights!

Lovely stay with happy and welcoming hosts. One sweet and cuddly cat outside when sat on sun loungers. Ten minutes walk to the Tor. 30 minute walk to town, perfect. Tidy self contained flat with easy to use cooking and domestic facilities.

Lovely peaceful location, studio as described, very good communication. Great recommendation of the local pub
