House holiday rentals in East Dorset District

amazing place, couldn't ask for a better location, host and facilities

We loved our stay. The property was a wonderful home from home in a beautiful setting. It was perfect for all of our family as we celebrated a special birthday. Mant thanks Katie for all of your prompt and helpful communications.

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.

We regularly holiday in England as a large family group; seven adults, five children and two dogs. Arnewood Rise is one of the best, if not the best place we have stayed. The house is generously equipped. The garden is large and beautifuly maintained and the location si excellent. Lots do do, plenty of variety and all within easy driving distance. Arabella replied quickly and helpfully to our questions. We plan to come agian.

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.

This place covers all the bases for a great stay for a big family get together! Excellent communications, nice welcome and then all the things to keep three families from ages 3-16 entertained. Private pool great, Games Room great, Hot Tub was spot on and actually hot (unlike so many that aren't)! Sauna probably needs some renovation love. Bedrooms great, enough space. Devonshire Arms nice food, Halfway House nice beer and vibes. All the ingredients for a place to kick back and have some much needed family time. Highly recommend!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Nina’s house in Southbourne, and we can't recommend it enough! The house itself was fantastic—spacious, well-equipped, and perfect for our large group. The location was ideal, allowing us to easily explore the beautiful beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed using the facilities at the house, which added to our overall experience. Whether it was soaking in the hot tub or cooking in the well-stocked kitchen, everything was just right for our getaway. Nina, our host, was exceptional. She was responsive, polite, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay, ensuring we had everything we needed. Her attention to detail truly enhanced our experience. Overall, this was the perfect getaway, and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Nina, for being such a wonderful host!

Absolutely lovely AirbnB. Exactly as described. Beautiful inside with comfy beds, plenty of hot water and everything you could need for an enjoyable stay. Very pretty surroundings with lots of good walks in the area. We found plenty of good places to eat and Fiona was able to give us recommendations.Ideally placed to explore Winchester or further afield. We used it as a base to visit Stonehenge as it's not far away. Well worth exploring the pretty village of Alresford (Watercress Heritage Steam line) Fiona was a very friendly and responsive host. Definitely hope to return one day. If I could give 12/10 I would !

comfortable, clean and spacious. good comms and perfect location as a group of us were doing a local hiking event. fabulous scenery nearby as well

Host was helpful and communicated regularly. Location is superb for visiting the many attractions of the City. Beds comfy and style was attractive. We stayed during a sunny week in April, the roof terrace is a real sun trap. Visited New Forest and Stonehenge as well as the Cathedral.

Travelled to Island for my wife’s aunts 80th birthday and 60th wedding anniversary celebrations. House was just as described, clean, spacious, comfortable and ideally located for seafront and high street. Extremely well equipped kitchen plus welcoming items including sourdough , butter, preservatives , milk, orange juice and shortbread. Spacious lounge with planting of seating. My wife and daughter loved the soaps, shower gels and fresh smells in the bathrooms. I thoroughly recommend this property and would re book if returning to the Island Tips: Grab the double room on 3rd floor if you prefer medium to soft mattress and watching tv in bed! We felt the middle bedroom mattresses were a bit on the hard side for us personally but this would not stop me from rating this property 10/10.

We had a lovely stay at Highlands, we felt right at home and relaxed with beautiful sea views to look at. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean, comfortable and spacious. The living spaces and kitchen were well equipped and spacious too. We did drive past the house when finding it, mostly because of road closures in the area and being unsure which ones you were allowed to drive down, you have to go down one labelled as 'closed ahead' in order to get to it. We could easily explore the Island from here with our car, and had a lot of fun doing so. Ventnor espalande is walkable but very steep coming back and if you have any ailments it might be tricky. We were so lucky with the weather and made use of the garden area, even saw a sand lizard! Overall a lovely stay and we would definitely come back. Thank you!

We had a great stay at the cottage. It’s a terrific location if you’re on foot with shops and buses and the ferry just minutes away and it’s equipped with everything we needed. Susan was helpful with any questions we had. It’s a thumbs up from us 👍🏻

Tony's place was perfect for my weeks stay in the area. Very good host and seem very friendly. So far it's been the best Airbnb I've used. Will most definitely stay again when in the area. thanks for a perfect little house on the corner

Had a great 4 days (weather helped). House had everything we needed (although blackout blinds in bedroom needed). Small back garden, but coastal clifftop path just around the corner, so it didn't bother us or our dog. House is between Shanklin and Sandown and it's easy to walk to either along the coastal path. The house is in a quiet area, it was modern and clean. We would definitely like to come back.

We loved our stay here, perfect for a break away from city life! Big shout out to Alex and Rob for being great hosts, they were friendly, responsive and helped us with any difficulties we had. I loved that they had a chimnea, which allowed us to enjoy the beauty of a fire pit and the night sky. There is a river behind the house, which we loved exploring the area of. Would definitely recommend if you want a peaceful getaway, around nature.

It was a lovely place, a very good wide space for everyone to enjoy the evenings in. Lovely location for our needs with a very responsive host to answer all questions we had. Will 100% recommend.

A very nice house in a great location. The house is located close to the town/park/beach. The hosts surprised us by decorating the house for Christmas. which was a lovely touch making the whole trip wonderful. I'd definitely recommend this AirBnB for a comfy trip to the Isle of Wight

This house was exactly what we wanted and needed. Plenty of room for 10 adults, a lovely back garden to enjoy. The whole place was clean and tidy. The hot tub was clean and private. The area was perfect for Bournemouth town centre, a 10 min taxi journey. Easy to check in, plenty of parking, local shops including Tesco within 3 minute walk. I am already thinking about coming back with my family.

We were in Dorset for a large extended family get-together in a nearby village. Our own family group consisted of 6 adults and 3 children between 4 and 7 yrs old. The house is very light, bright and spacious and everyone could find space to escape the others when required! The kitchen was very well equipped. We had beautiful weather and were able to choose from several outdoor sitting areas - you can follow the sun around. There was plenty of room for parking. The children loved playing out in the extensive garden. The area generally is beautiful - very quiet at night. If you are looking for somewhere for a relaxing family holiday, I would recommend.

Perfect from start to finish - we had a afabulous weekend in this gorgeous property. I will be fully recommending this to family and friends. Thank you Victoria - absolutely brilliant!

3 nights booked for a family weeding mid-week locally , house perfect for our 3 generations of family to visit relax and prepare and recover from the celebrations. Comfortably furnished with a very family friendly garden space. 10 minute stroll into the centre of Wimborne for its nice shops and restaurants - perfect for our needs

We had a great stay at Sarah's house in Fordingbridge. There were 2 couples, one child and two dogs. The house is really spacious so you don't feel on top of each other. Sarah has thought of everything you might need with lovely little extras such as milk, coffee pods, bottle of fizz, dog biscuits and bowls. The games room is fun too with pool, ping pong and darts. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book again.

Had everything we needed, extremely clean. And a great location and very relaxed about us bringing our dog.
