Religious building in East Stoke
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 114 reviewsAmazing converted church -Dorset’s Jurassic Coast
Wow, what an amazing place! This was our first Air B&B booking and was perfect for us, 6 adults and our black Labrador, Buster. The Tower was easy to find with clear directions provided and access simple with a key safe. The property was beautiful, quirky, interesting, well thought out, clean, homely, very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The pint of milk and bottle of rose in the fridge was a lovely touch. The Tower was a short drive to Wareham, where there were plenty of choices to eat and where you can hire boats and canoes. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are also within easy reach. Ellie was a fantastic host and responded to any questions very promptly. We were grateful that Gordon and Ellie were happy to share their beautiful home with us.

Bungalow in Bransgore
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 70 reviewsStunning 2 Bedroom, Dog Friendly With Lovely Views
The perfect home from home for our stay. The bungalow was perfect and the views from the garden are incredible. Great location and easy to get to the forest and the local beaches. Convenient local shop and pubs. Jo provided a breakfast hamper which was really appreciated.
Bungalow in Dorset
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsGorgeous Bungalow near beaches and Poole Harbour
Spotless bungalow which meant a very pleasant stay, (so many places aren't so good). It is the ideal place for meeting up with family and going for a coffee in Ashley Cross. The only downside for me is the early morning traffic (doesn't affect the significant other!). The rest of the day it's quite quiet. I've mentioned the rusty iron and damaged iron board cover which the host has promised to replace. I would have liked to see a mirror in the twin bed room. More sharp knives in the kitchen drawer would be useful. The twin bedroom has the boiler in the built in wardrobe which means clothes are nice and warm. Unusual shelving though. I would recommend staying here as it's convenient and would like to stay again.
Bungalow in Isle of Wight
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 129 reviewsIsle of Wight Bungalow - Village of Freshwater
We had a great stay at Emma's bungalow. It was close by to Freshwater, clean and tidy and had everything we needed. The neighbourhood is quiet and the beds were comfy.
Cottage in Hale nr Fordingbridge
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 173 reviewsIdyllic cottage in the New Forest
We stayed 2 nights for a cycle trip. The place was perfect, a short walk to a community shop for essentials and a pub for dinner. The living room over looking the river was very peaceful, we especially loved the 2 deer eating their breakfast right in front of us. Ana was very responsive and helpful every step of the way - nothing was missed. Thank you for having us to stay!
