Spacious Caravan near sea Weymouth Bay Haven
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.

Charming thatched farmhouse, heated pool & cottage
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.

Country House - Pool Jacuzzi Escape Room Karaoke
Just come back from Mistletoe Farm after celebrating a Hen weekend there. We all could not fault the hosts, they were incredible & always checking if we needed anything, so helpful throughout the whole stay. Mistletoe Farm is beautiful & so peaceful. Plenty to do within the property. We all especially loved the pool/hot tub & also the karaoke machine was a big hit. It really is the perfect place either for celebrating a special occasion or a family weekend. We all enjoyed our stay & said it is a place we would love to go back to. Thank you again to the amazing hosts. Would highly recommend this air b&b 😊

Large Airy Barn conversion, 5 bedrooms, Jurassic
Lovely barn, great for a big group (we were 7 adults, 2 kids). We were in there for Christmas and the place had a lovely homely feel to it, great for the festive season. Super warm, no issues there at all. Not perfect for little kids running around (hard times floors, mini steps, very hot AGA in the kitchen etc), a few issues with low water pressure in some of the bathrooms, but otherwise spot on. Would definitely recommend, thanks for a top stay.

Beaumont Village 14 (BV14), Silverlake, Dorset
Fantastic stay, the house was immaculate and the surroundings are stunning. The view of the lake was breath taking and the facilities were great. We used the gym, tennis courts, swimming pool and had a nice coffee in the cafe. We said we would all definitely stay again. Thank you, Rick

Perfect family house, heated pool, close to beach
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.

Sapphire @ Oakdene Forest Park
Lovely caravan situated in a good site. Everything was there we needed. Very clean, beds comfy! Site was lovely. Thanks again we will be coming again!

Incredible sea views and heated outdoor pool
What a lovely place to stay, we’ve stayed at few beach front places on Airbnb and this one is certainly up there with our favourites. Such a lovely interior, nice touches everywhere. Really comfortable beds. Very peaceful and calm and stunning views from the garden to chill. The location to the beach within a few minutes walk is just superb. Andy and Rachel were just lovely throughout. We can’t wait to book again. And a welcome basket was a nice surprise.

Mainsail
The house was comfortable, very well equipped, and ideally positioned for Poole Quay and the Harbour Park. We and our dog appreciated the bottle of fizz and other treats left for us all. There are several shops and restaurants within a few minutes’ walk. The allocated parking space to the rear was often taken up by other vehicles but there was sufficient space at the front to park our car. We would highly recommend Mainsail for couples or families wanting to visit Poole. Thank you Angus and Anne for a lovely stay!

Purbeck Escape - 5 bedroom detached
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

A spacious ,Wonderful place in the hub of the city
As stated by other reviewers, the location was great with the Cathedral, the market, restaurants, and shops within easy walking distance; and the house is lovely with lots of space. Specifically for us, we were visiting family so we hosted guests. We had 8 of us for dinner and had room for everyone. My father-in-law turned 99 while we were there, and the house was within an easy mobility scooter ride from his home in Salisbury, and the bathroom on the main floor made it accessible for him. This meant we could have long visits with him at our place, which was lovely. We will definitely be in touch with William to stay in his house again.

Salisbury Period Townhouse
We really enjoyed our weekend stay. The town centre is a perfect distance away that you can walk in in about 10-15mins but far enough away to not feel like you're staying in a busy town centre. Louise sorted us parking permits out and we easily parked 3 cars in the local streets, not right outside but this wasn't an issue. The house is great, 4 good sized clean bedrooms, a lounge, dining area and kitchen. Louise had left us a few goodies and some milk as a welcome gift, Tesco is a short walk away to grab any other bits you need and we had a lovely meal out locally too, plus lots of recommendations of good places to go. Thank you for a very lovely weekend.

Wonderful centrally located mews cottage
We had a lovely stay at this cottage. It was easy to find, clean, well-stocked and Julie was very communicative. Thank you!

Tranquil Townhouse with Parking,minutes from Beach
Tess is an amazing host: wonderful and warm. One of my daughters' highlights was speaking to her and learning her technique for fluffing up the resident chicken. Her hospitality was extraordinary, from the delicious cream tea to bountiful breafast. She might have even convinced me about cream first instead of jam on scones...

New Refurb Coach House, Hot tub, Lake,8pax ,4 cars
A lovely, relaxing couple of nights stay. The Coach House has all you need, is warm and cosy and very comfortable. The beds are super comfy and the duvets really warm and cosy. The garden is very private and a lovely feature, and for anyone staying in warmer weather has everything you need to spend plenty of time outdoors. If you're looking to keep your steps up, try a walk round the lakes, lots of bird life, very interesting. The lighting system took a bit of getting used to but is very ambiant and well thought out. The kitchen has plenty of space so you can cook and chat. It would have been good if the oven had worked but we were told about this beforehand and provided with an airfryer so could work around this quite easily. The host was always quick to respond, kept in touch and made our stay very easy. I would recommend The Coach House for a very relaxing and comfortable stay. All the quirky little touches make The Coach House quite unique and we would definately return.

Little Winters Cottage
Our stay at Little Winters was wonderful; we walked straight in and felt right at home. Our hosts had done everything in such a way to make us feel comfortable and the space was totally perfect for our family. The garden was so peaceful and overlooking the valley before us it was abundant with wildlife, such a joy. Having chicken and sheep next to the garden also added to the whole feeling of the place, homely, welcoming, warm. Just like home! Thanks for having us, we would recommend Little Winters for sure!

Large Luxury home in Bournemouth - Sleeps 12+
A great place for a group gathering - 12 single beds! And the living spaces are well laid out and spacious. Outdoor area good too. It's a bit lacking character but made up for by the practicalities. It's very near the beach and convenient for access to boscombe and central bournemouth. Can recommend.

Spacious seaview retreat 4 bedrooms, sleeps 8
A very enjoyable stay in an immaculate house in a peaceful location. A clean and well presented home and would recommend.

Lyme Regis Holiday home close to beach
Tom’s place is so lovely. Our family had a great stay at his place. It was a short walk to the beach, which was an added bonus. Plenty of room, very clean and just as described. We would definitely stay again!

Luxury@OceanView House Dorset close to Beach&Cafes
Had a wonderful few days at this super house overlooking the sea. Spotless, well equipped and a cosy home from home. An excellent layout with the sitting room on the top floor with a superb sea view. Perfect location for the beach and other attractions. Helen has been a very friendly and helpful host. We loved our stay and we will be back. Thank you so much Helen and your family too.

Family house Bournemouth - spa, garden, parking
Excellent host, really good and clear communication. We booked this the day before so didn't get time to read all the instructions so had a few questions and got the answers from the host. House is very clean and plenty of beds so ideal for big groups. Main reason we booked this place was the hot tub, hot tub was great we used a it a couple of times, its in the garden and has a cover so even if its raining you can use it. Over all good place, value for money.
