Family-friendly vacation rentals in Axminster

Honestly this is a hidden gem and is definitely hijabi friendly... We had our own private space, including hot tub and outdoor heated swimming pool. Keith sourced produce so that it was accessible, he helped us in getting appropriate taxi services.

We booked for my husband's 60th and had friends join us. The cottage was perfect, spotlessly clean, loads of space so didn't feel we were on top of each other. The kitchen was well stocked with pans, utensils and everything even down to a food processor should you need it. The pool table and dart board was a hit with my 15 year son and the hot tub was great, even sat in it whilst it was -1 outside. All in all we had a great weekend chilling. Definitely will be back. Thank you Cath.

We really enjoyed our stay. The hut has beautiful surroundings which we enjoyed from the hot tub. We walked to a cafe and then drove into the local town and went to a really nice pub. The hut was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks Fiona 😊

I’d never arranged a gathering with this many people before, so I was worried how it would turn out, but I needn’t have been, everything was fantastic from the get-go. The instructions to find the house were flawless, and there was plenty of parking space for us all. None of the bedrooms felt cramped, even though there were so many of us, and there were plenty of bathrooms dotted around. The kitchen is vast, with multiple fridges and a great oven, and we really enjoyed being able to eat together around the massive dining room table. The living room could accommodate all of us, and much fun was had with the pool and table football tables, as well as the hot tub. Throughout our stay our hosts were invisible unless we needed them, at which point they replied swiftly. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone with a large party, thanks for having us!

From Start to Finish Paul was the perfect host, could not do enough for us making sure that the log burners were lit every morning for us - hosting he was great fun and even joined in our activities. Paul has a great place here - you just have to realise that there is no kitchen in the main house but that did not bother us as we spent most of the time up in the area by the Hot Tub which had fantastic kitchen, games, karaoke, bar facilities - thank you Paul you made a great weekend even better !

Wonderful location and a wonderful property. Very clean and check in was simple. would recommend

The cottage has been beautifully renovated and is in the middle of nowhere, the view from the hot tub of an evening is exquisite.... The layout is warm and spacious but also with plenty of outside space and walks. Nicky was very helpful prior to check in with very clear instructions, also very quick to help where needed during our stay. On our trip to the cottage we came across a herd of deer which started the magic... We will hopefully return

We had a truly lovely stay at this eco shepherd’s hut. The setting was wonderfully private, with stunning views that were only made better by the gorgeous weather during our visit. With clear skies, we were able to enjoy breathtaking stargazing both from the hot tub and even through the skylight inside the hut—a magical experience. The hut itself was thoughtfully designed, blending comfort with a strong eco-conscious ethos. It had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a real retreat from everyday life. Our only small critique would be the kitchen sink, which was quite tiny, making washing up a bit of a challenge. Given that much of the interior is wooden, extra care is needed with water spills, but this is only a minor point in what was otherwise a fantastic stay. Overall, a beautiful and unique escape—highly recommended for those looking for privacy, nature, and a touch of luxury in an eco-friendly setting!

Really enjoyed our stay. Quiet, peaceful area and the place itself was very cosy, especially enjoyed the evening we lit the log fire. Would like to stay again if I return to the area.

Really cosy cottage in a stunning location. So peaceful. Very comfy bed and sofa and good size TV to watch a movie on ! Lovely couple of days !

We had a wonderful stay. Jo is such a lovely host, our 5 year old has a wonderful time feeding the chickens and playing with ruby the dog. When we left he said ‘I miss Jo’. Looking forward to our next visit already.

We had a fantastic week, the house was perfect for our family, the rooms were huge and the location and views were stunning. There's so many lovely places to visit within a short drive. I couldn't recommend the house and hosts highly enough.

Great stay in a beautifully restored old building with big comfy beds. 5 minutes walk from the beach and a pub serving delicious food (worth booking ahead). Very friendly volunteers at the nearby DD centre/war museum, well worth a visit to see the history of the Isle of Portland and fun for the children, they get to climb inside a tank!

Richard and Mo were great hosts and provided us with all the information required to meet our expectations. Richard met us on arrival and it was lovely to have the basics for breakfast provided for each morning, which was an added surprise and very welcomed. This facility was perfect for my wife as she has mobility issues, and the Airbnb is all on one level with walk-in shower, so made moving around was made so much easier. We would highly recommend staying here, and will look to rebook for our next visit to Devon.

Andrea's place is in a great location - close to the centre of Wellington but private and peaceful. The property is spacious, well furished, and has all the facilities you need for a very comfortable stay. Andrea communicated well with us and provided very detailed instructions for accessing the property. We would definitely like to return if we are in the area in future.

We arrived mid afternoon, with advance instructions from Tess to ignore road closures and follow directions regardless. I reversed into the parking space and the car stayed put for the rest of our break. On entry the property was clean and very well stocked. Thank you for our homemade scones, jam and clotted cream, bacon, egg, milk and bread!!! The house is over three floors, with only the top two as living areas. The two bedrooms (top floor) are very big and beautiful with thoughtful furnishings. The beds are comfy and clean. The family bathroom's on the floor below with a great shower. The living room is a good size with comfy seating for four people. There's also a table with four chairs. Books and more books. The kitchen has everything you'd need for a short stay or a fortnight including tea, coffee and cooking oils. Everywhere was clean and tidy. Thanks Tess. Lyme Regis is perfect for exploring and eating out and a good base for hikes- but beware the hills!! We loved our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the pictures do not do this place justice, as it is much bigger than the pictures show. The annex was very clean and spotless. Ian & Katka (Hosts) were very proactive, friendly and welcoming and went the extra mile. The swimspa and hot tub are an absolute amazing feature of the property along with the balcony and views. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again.

My wife and I had the most relaxing time at the "Condo" it was a great location to explore, the property was just perfect for the two of us and had everything we wanted for the weekend. It was clean and tidy with a wonderful log burner which was wonderful to sit in front of and listen to the wind and the rain on an evening. Jacqui was very responsive and helpful. The black dog just down the hill was welcoming and does the best Sunday lunch. A great find!!

a lovely place, beautifully decorated, in a great little collection of cottages. The local apple juice was great..Thank you

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 4th time we’ve stayed at Little Burston. The cottage has everything you need, is lovely and peaceful and private. Carol is a great host and responds promptly to any issues. A lovely stay as usual.

Emily’ place is amazing and she’s an amazing host 👍🏻

The view was beautiful, and there was so much to do around the house. We spent one day at Durdle Door and the surrounding area, and on other days, we explored the Jurassic Coast region. There were some lovely restaurants in the Weymouth Old Harbour area. Our daughter also joined some Halloween activities in the Chesil Beach Resort. We had a fantastic holiday.

Just back from a lovely stay at The Elms. Jan was very helpful and friendly and the info on the app was really handy. The accommodation is easy to find and set in stunningly beautiful surroundings, the gardens are gorgeous and I can imagine it’d be paradise in summer with the swimming pool (obviously not in use in Feb!) The Elms was lovely and cosy and has everything you need to make yourself at home. The beds were lovely and comfy, plenty of hot water and spotlessly clean throughout. We drove to most of the local places of interest and didn’t get to walk much of the surrounding countryside due to the weather but I’m sure there are some beautiful walks to be had in the area. The local chippy was nice and there’s a CoOp just down the road which was handy. All in all a great stay, thank you Jan!
