80 acre Wood, Dutchtub, Lake, Treehouse & Zip-line

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 95 reviews1 week ago

This was our second stay at Hazel's and we loved it again! The cottage is so peaceful and furnished perfectly so you feel right at home. Hazel had left some treats for us on arrival, which was so kind and thoughtful. Our daughter loves the zip line so we were straight out flying through the woods! On this trip we even saw two deer which was particularly magical. We went exploring in Stockbridge, which was beautiful and had lunch at the Silver Plough - Hazel's recommendation - which was fabulous. We love coming back and unwinding. You feel a million miles away from everything and yet you're only 10 minutes from amenities. It's a special place to stay - and yes, we will be back again! Thank you for another wonderful trip!

Seaside Stone Quay Cottage - Swanage, Sleeps 3

4.77 out of 5 average rating, 124 reviews1 week ago

We had a wonderful time at Stone Quay Cottage! Huge thanks to Helen and Blake for a smooth booking, great local tips, and being such fantastic hosts. The cottage is in the perfect spot - just minutes from the beach, town centre, and scenic walks. It was spotless, modern, and very welcoming, with thoughtful touches like biscuits and milk on arrival. We especially enjoyed our walks to Durlston Park and Corfe, and loved treats from Love Cake and Cornish Bakery. The space was ideal for the three of us and our dog, and the comfy high-quality linen was a lovely bonus. Highly recommend - we’ll definitely be back! Thanks very much! Jess, Neil, Lucas & Max

A Stunning Dorset Thatched Cottage - Dog friendly

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 174 reviews3 weeks ago

We had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was clean, cosy and the welcome goodies were a lovely touch and much appreciated. The hot tub was a perfect for relaxing in the evenings, and under cover (we got lucky with beautiful weather but this would’ve been great even if it rained!). Our dog enjoyed the secure garden and we appreciated knowing he could roam the garden safely. The cottage is in a great location, just a short drive from the sea, and Ruth provided great recommendations for local places to eat and visit. We went to the Sculpture Park by the lake which was beautiful! We’d love to stay again.

Luxury 3 Bed Cottage on Rewilding Estate

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviews2 weeks ago

A special house in the beautiful Dorset countryside, set in pretty rolling hills just 20 minutes from the stunning Jurassic Coast. We are regular visitors and come here to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and gorgeous walks. At this time of year the primroses were out everywhere, the bluebells just starting to appear, and the birdsong so magical at all times of the day. The house itself is charming, sitting on the Mapperton Estate at the edge of the main garden, and Luke and his team make sure it is always clean and welcoming. The beds are really comfortable with lovely bedlinen! I thoroughly recommend Garden Cottage!

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 253 reviews1 week ago

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay. The cottage was warm, welcoming and cosy and very private. A good size for a couple and a labrador. The cottage was as described and was clean and quiet. Little touches such as towels, bedding, blankets, toiletries, coffee pods and milk were greatly appreciated it meant we didnt have to immediately dash out to the shops upon arrival. Communication and instructions from Kate were brilliant and spot on. Local spots and shops were listed in a little folder which was handy. We would definitely recommend staying here and will return in the future. Thank you Kate.

Chic Family Barn, edge of Frome + country views

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 264 reviews3 weeks ago

We were looking for a place to stay for our visit to Longleat safari and I came across Jos Moss Cottage and from start to finish the stay was excellent! When we arrived, the cottage was easy to find and access due to Jos clear instructions. On entry, the place was absolutely spotless, clutter free and beautifully decorated (it honestly all looked brand new!) there was heaps of toys which was a complete surprise but we were absolutely thrilled and over the moon with this and my Son seemed completely at home. This was his first ever stay away from home so I was nervous but he just seemed in his element! The cottage was beautiful, private, the views were amazing and the contact from Jo was next level. He took the time to knock on the door on the first evening to introduce himself and make sure we settled in all okay. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay! We will definitely be back!

What a beautiful place! The cottage is right on the sea shore; you can watch the waves from the sofa. Stunning views across the bay from the garden. Cosy, well equipped, quiet. Even better than in the pictures. An easy ten minute walk into the centre of Swanage, which is full of independent shops and everything you’d expect from an English seaside town.
