Vacation rentals with lake access in Bournemouth

We had such a fantastic stay. The location is amazing, and we were fortunate to see so much wildlife. The barn is absolutely beautiful, really cozy and Bobbie very thoughtfully provided everything you could possibly need for your stay. It really was a home away from home. We have an electric car so it was fantastic to have a charging facility on site, this made everything so much easier for us. Bobbie was extremely welcoming, a truly lovely lady who couldn’t do enough to help us. We will definitely be returning, we won’t even look anywhere else. Truly fabulous!

we stayed here to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday with friends and had a fabulous time. Beautiful location, very peaceful and relaxing. Good kitchen and comfy beds.

We had a wonderful family holiday, the hot tub and the fireplace was a huge bonus to a beautiful house within close distance to the seaside as well as the New Forest. The kitchen was fully equipped for us to cook a roast dinner in and the house felt private and was spotless. We felt so relaxed and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for us all to sit in whilst we cooked and ate too. We had everything we needed and Karen was available for any questions and was very helpful. We would lobe to come and stay again. What a memorable weekend!

We went out of season so it was lovely and quiet. A great base to set off from exploring different places including the New Forest, Lymington and further afield. The lodge was very clean and tidy with everything one would need for a comfortable stay. A home from home vibe. Only one downside was the 'Beachcomber' restaurant on the site. the food was awful but there is plenty of places to go out to eat off the site that were lovely.

We had the most fantastic time - the lodge was clean, beautifully furnished and cosy on a cold March evening with the wood burner - loved the record player with the albums - The little touches such as biscuits, coffee and croissants were appreciated as were the refillable bottles of hand wash, shampoo etc. You can immediately tell that the owners have put a lot of hard work and love into their property. My friends and I were together for our 50th birthday celebrations and downtime from our hectic lives and we couldn’t have picked a more idyllic spot. Beautiful walks, fabulous scenery and such a calm quiet place. An ideal location to explore the coast and also the local high street with pubs and restaurants is an easy walk - the hot tub was an absolute added bonus. All communication from the hosts was spot on - Thank you and we will be back again.

We loved our stay at Mel's house it was incredibly clean with so many extras that we haven't had before, staying in other Airbnbs. There was literally everything you needed in the kitchen, bathrooms and even games to play! The welcome gifts were also very much appreciated. The house is in a perfect location, we parked the car and didn't use it again until we left, either walking or taking the train. Great sized rooms with gorgeous furnishings and lovely hotel quality bedding. The little courtyard with outside seating looked fabulous. We would definitely stay here again.

We had an amazing weekend at The Bungalow in Dorset. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the stunning lake view and the peaceful setting. The bungalow was spotless, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The living area was cozy, the kitchen fully equipped, and the bedrooms provided a perfect night’s sleep. The bathroom was modern, with a powerful shower and fresh towels. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxing, and the Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. The hosts clearly put great care into ensuring a fantastic stay. We loved exploring the nearby walking trails and charming villages, but the bungalow itself was so wonderful that we spent most of our time enjoying its tranquility. Everything about our stay was perfect, and we left feeling completely refreshed. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape in Dorset, The Bungalow is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to return!

My husband, toddler, and I stayed at this place and had a wonderful time. It was spotlessly clean and came with all the necessary amenities. The kitchen was very well equipped, which made cooking meals at home super convenient. Our toddler had a great time too — the toys were a lovely bonus! The double bed was comfortable, and the blackout curtains were perfect for a good night's sleep. The location is fantastic — just a minute's walk to shops and several excellent bakeries and coffee spots that are definitely worth a visit. It’s also very close to the beach and a playground. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable

We found the studio a perfect place for a relaxing rural stay. Inside was spotlessly clean and thoughtfully equipped, including a comfy bed and a great shower. Since we had lovely spring weather, we really appreciated the outside seating area - breakfast with a stunning view. Plenty of walks and wildlife to watch right on the doorstep.

The caravan’a main living area felt much more spacious than we imagined and there was quite a good sea view. It was right by the amenities yet still quiet. Parking was a little tricky but we have a big car and you can always use the main car park which always had spaces and felt very safe. Lovely resort with friendly, helpful and professional staff.

What an incredible stay for a special occasion. The place is more beautiful than the pictures, especially the views, it is truly a special place. We enjoyed having our coffee and breakfast in the garden and watching the tide go in and out. Erika & John were perfect hosts and made us feel very comfortable, going the extra mile. We can't wait to return!

Peaceful compact apartment in a beautiful setting. The space has everything you’d need for a short stay and a lovely external patio for enjoying the evening sun. Walks around the lake and via the Frome into Wareham are on the doorstep. The wider Isle of Purbeck is on Warehams doorstep with easy access to Swanage (perfect Victorian resort and period steam railway), Corfe (with its stunning Castle), Kimmeridge (with fossils and an underwater nature trail) and Lulworth Cove with great swimming and a greater walk to Durdle Door. There’s a tank museum if the weathers wet and all the amazing history surrounding TE Lawrence (of Arabia ) whose domain this area famously was. Can’t recommend enough and the thoughtful provisions left by our host were hugely appreciated.

Beautiful, cosy and comfortable home. Superb location with wonderful walks along the Promenade. Thanks for the extra touches of warmth and light....a fantastic Host.... thanks for a wonderful holiday xx

Perfect stay again thank you! Andrew is a great host. His place is spotless throughout and has everything you need. Excellent location, very close to great restaurants and bars in Westbourne and great walks to the beach. Parking is a bonus. Looking forward to my next visit.

I would highly recommend staying at Sandra's beautiful cottage. It is so well equipped, comfortable and cosy - a real home from home - and idea for long and short stays. Everything was immaculate and the bed and sofas were so comfy. And Cookie loved the dog bed and bowls that were provided. Sandra has provided lots of ideas for trips and places to eat locally. We will definitely return!

Nicky’s cottage was lovely, clean and welcoming and is in the perfect location to explore all that the New Forest has to offer. We have stayed in the area several times and this was definitely our favourite accommodation. We’d love to stay here again next time we’re in the area.

We stayed at the cottage during the week leading up to Easter and absolutely loved our time here. The surrounding landscape along the Yar estuary is so peaceful and full of wildlife, it made having a morning coffee beside the water, listening to all manner of birdsong, our favourite moment of the day. The Kings Manor grounds are gorgeous and we very much appreciated being able to play some tennis on the court by the main house. A welcome basket with goodies, friendly communication and a very uncomplicated check in/out, as well and all the wonderful places to visit on the island made this holiday truly a special experience for us. We would return in a heartbeat.

We had a brilliant stay at the Pink House! The house itself was beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting - we felt really at home here. Deborah was very friendly and responsive in her communication and sent us lots of local recommendations of things to do and places to visit. The garden was really private and we loved the built in BBQ and home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and the welcome basket that we're waiting for us when we arrived. The Pink House is in a great location with walks right from the front door and only 15-30 mins drive to the various beaches. We had a wonderful stay and wished we booked for longer - we'll definitely be back again!

We have just returned from the Red Cottage, a weekend celebrating a special birthday with family. The cottage was in a great location for the restaurants we had booked. The 3 en suite rooms were beautiful, giving everyone their own space but with a lovely lounge to enjoy together. Thank you for such a lovely stay! We would thoroughly recommend and would love to stay again!

The perfect location to explore Dorset! Esther’s home is a lovely peaceful base to relax in after a day exploring. She gave a wealth of helpful recommendations and we loved being within walking distance to picturesque Wareham with plenty of nice places to eat. The house is a quick drive to Corfe Castle/Swanage/Monkey world so perfect central location and the house itself is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Esther was super helpful and we would definitely come back and stay again in the future!

Weir Cottage was the perfect place for our weekend. We wanted to walk in the forest, dip our toes in the sea and do a little shopping so we were very content at Weir Cottage. The garden is an oasis of calm and quiet and was a unique place to relax at the end of the day. Shane was the perfect host and a mine of local information. Weir Cottage will be the first place we'll search for next time we plan to revisit the area.

We loved The Four Horseshoes! The house was clean and spacious and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals there and ate at the pub a few times. Can't recommend the pub enough -- very welcoming staff and the food was absolutely delicious! A great spot, quiet and peaceful, perfect for our family of six. We would definitely stay again!
