Family-friendly holiday rentals in Fordingbridge

We’ve just returned from 2 nights here and we’re very sad to be leaving! The pod has everything you need for a comfortable stay and has clearly been well thought out. The spot is very private and incredibly peaceful. The huge secure garden / field was absolutely perfect for our dog - she loved it. Lots of lovely footpaths nearby to explore too. Can’t wait to return!

A beautifully set up and self contained apartment. Lovely gardens and easy access to the countryside and the city. Being in a cul-de-sac and near the top of the hill also meant it was beautifully quiet and relaxing. The bus service to and from the city was excellent for evenings out and about. Great information pack to get up to speed on the local area and facilities. Cosy living room and great kitchen set up. The hot tub was a bonus to relax after the days spent walking the dog and exploring the area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Kate and Andrew were great hosts and super helpful to make our stay easy and stress free. Definitely recommend it!

We had a fab 3 nights in the Safari Tent. It was clean and was exactly as described. The instructions for lighting the stove were very handy. Mel was a great host and responded to any queries we had. We will defo be booking again.

Absolutely brilliant place. Nicola was a fantastic host. Breakfast was a lovely touch and very appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone ! And the hot tub was a brilliant facility to have :) Would 100% stay again !!!

So nice to unwind, listen to the birds and decompress. Exactly what was needed with our hectic lives and schedules. Loved the quiet location and that our dogs could walk around the golf course and woods. Only recommendation we would make is a little freshen up and updating in some areas, like sealant around the bath (which was great by the way after a long day!) Having milk when we arrived was well appreciated, if there was a complimentary starter pack of some small jams/butter and scones - I'd give you 5* here! But a great stay nonetheless. Really comfortable.

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!

We had a very lovely stay at the cottage. It was exactly what we wanted. The cottage is absolutely beautiful in a gorgeous setting. It was so peaceful and relaxing. There is so much wildlife around which was beautiful to see. There is plenty of room and the hot tub was amazing. Keith is an amazing host and nothing is too much trouble, he was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be recommending this place and would stay again.

We chose a long weekend the week before Easter. The house and the location matched our expectations and needs. Allan’s meet and greet on arrival was a warm welcome and informative. Brook House is a lovely home and we had a great stay. The spacious kitchen, bedrooms downstairs, wood burner and hot tub are real highlights. We enjoyed a BBQ and a Sunday Roast during our stay. The outdoor patio lights work very well to enjoy the garden in the evenings. The house is wonderfully located to explore the south coast and nearby attractions. We enjoyed a walk to the local club for drinks and live music. (Only available Fridays) on the first evening. We did a day trip to Brownsea Island which was fun. Moors Valley Country Park and Forest nearby offers a lot of options for a family Sunday outing. Our only fault was not staying a few more days!

Nicola's home was a home from home but better than. Extremely well equipped and if ever I couldn't find anything Nicola was extremely responsive in pointing me in the right direction. Nicola is so kind and considerate of me having two young boys and that things might end up in different places or even broken by the end of our stay and put me completely at ease. Entirely ok with me hosting my 3 year old's party here during our stay. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We had a lovely Stay, was in a perfect location to explore lots of amazing sights, beautiful views and lots of seaside town nearby. Sharon was very friendly and helpful and the place was comfy and had everything we needed.

Spacious three bedroom 2nd floor appartment. Lift located next to appartment front door. One parking space which can be seen from living room window. Lots of extras in appartment- eg shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet roll, hand soap etc which was a great addition. Further free parking around the corner on Derby Road. 10 min walk to Boscombe beach. Would thoroughly recommend and look forward to a return trip

We had such a wonderful stay, so much so we didn’t want to leave. Hilary was such a welcoming host and the cottage was so beautiful. Our whole family loved the cottage and we definitely want to come back. There’s so much to do in the area too. There’s lots of toys at the cottage for kids, including bath toys and a really cute outdoor kids dining table. Once the kids were in bed it was also so lovely and cosy for the adults. The pianos were also a great touch, we loved playing them and teaching the kids how to play. We would recommend the stay to everyone.

Had a lovely time with our 4 month old and wanted somewhere outside of Bournemouth where it’s more peaceful and this didn’t disappoint. The apartment was spotless and everything was to a very high standard, including all provisions you’d need plus more… Jonathan has literally thought of everything and gone the extra mile to make it a home from home. Would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

We stayed at Crin's over Xmas whilst visiting relatives nearby and it was exactly what we needed. Communication was great with Crin, she was warm and welcoming. The property was great for a walk around with our 4 year old to burn off some energy.

What a beautiful stay we had, the lodge was clean, welcoming and cozy. We felt at home straight away. It was just so Peaceful and there's something extremely relaxing hearing the animal sounds around you. Definitely a place to come to unwind. We got here just fine and If you follow Tony's directions you will find the location no problem. We love the natural wood look at the lodge, the beds are really comfy and coming with bedding and towels is a massive plus, saves all that extra luggage. Not to mention the little package on the table. Thank you 😁 We loved the animals so much! The horses are adorable! They always come over to you for some love and the horse with one eye is such an attention seeker so so adorable. All the animals are so friendly and very welcoming. I'll miss the horses 😁 also tony popped by to say hi which was lovely with his 2 dogs one of which would visit daily as if he's checking you are alright 😂 thank you Tony and the animals for letting us share your home ❤️

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.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the condo! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was perfect — close to everything yet peaceful and quiet, offering the ideal retreat after a day of exploring. Communication with the host was seamless; they were incredibly responsive, kind, and made me feel truly welcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. I can’t wait to return! thank you once again.

Great accommodation, very light and spacious. Stunning sea views and surroundings. The chalet is positioned next to a nature reserve, peaceful and calming. We spotted a deer and rabbits from the windows! Comfy beds and good quality linen. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Judith was the perfect host and had some excellent recommendations for us to try. Would highly recommend and look forward to returning one day.

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.

The caravan had everything we needed and was really well stocked. Perfect play to stay with our dog and very reasonable priced. It was sited in a lovely peaceful part of the park with bridle paths accessed easily nearby. Excellent communication with Emily, and we were even able to check in early which was fab. Thank you so much Emily!

We spent a fabulous Easter weekend at Driftwood Cottage. Catharine was an excellent host and was extremely easy to deal with. The house is spacious, modern, and very well equipped. The use of the kayaks was a bonus we hadn’t really considered beforehand but turned out to be a real highlight. The location is amazing. Right next to the ferry terminal but you wouldn’t know it when you’re at the house. The views up the creek at stunning. Highly recommended.

Incredible setting on the corner of the park with stunning views and plenty of peace and quiet but close enough to all the facilities when you want to go get amongst it. Property is a perfect size with lovely kitchen and will never tire of waking up to that sight you get when you walk into the living room in the morning. Nicola is friendly and checks in to make sure everything is ok which after 2 stays here in under a year it always has been more than ok, lovely place to stay I cannot recommend enough. Kids already asking when they can go back. James

Fabulous short stay in a wonderful location. Fiona and her husband were very welcoming and their gardens are stunning. We will certainly be back.

My family and I have just returned from a 4 night stay at The Oaks and we all wished we could have stayed longer. The house is well equipped, clean and tidy. There was plenty of room for 7 adults and 1 infant. The bedrooms were comfortable with fresh linen. I particularly booked this accommodation for the outside pool and this didn't disappoint. A perfect size pool for us and we enjoyed sitting around the garden and pool area. Beautiful Sobo beach is walking distance from the house and there are many good places to eat and drink nearby. We enjoyed a birthday celebration lunch at The Captains club restaurant which we would highly recommend, great food and attentive staff. A big thank you to Maggie And Peter for a great airbnb property.
