Cottage vacation rentals in North Dorset District

Lorraine and Baz were lovely and gave us all the relevant information. They we’re flexible with check out times and all questions were answered quickly. The local pubs were lovely and we met regulars who gave us further information about walks which we went on that were lovely, definitely check out Avebury if you stay. The hot tub was a lovely touch! Thank you very much for everything xx

We had a great stay here. Lovely lodge and beautiful surroundings. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

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.

We had such a fantastic time in Jocelyn and David’s Air B & B with our 11 month old twins. The place is very child friendly with cots, highchairs and plenty of toys which our twins loved to play with. Everything is very cosy and comfortable (with comfy sofas and beds) and the kitchen is well equipped. Everything was also very clean. We also enjoyed having a glass of wine in the hot tub after we put our twins to bed. It is in a great location with plenty of great nearby pubs and walks. A big highlight was all the amazing gentle and friendly animals - horses, a donkey, and chickens to name a few which we and our twins enjoyed going to see every morning. We also thought Jocelyn and David were thoughtful hosts and very friendly. We would thoroughly recommend to families or couples. We hope to be back soon! Thank you Jocelyn and David!

We had a fantastic few days in Godshill, staying with elderly parents and 2 young children. Host was very helpful and let us check-in a bit early, the house is beautiful and has everything you need with perfectly labelled instructions. Very comfortable beds and loved the hot tub and games room! Thoroughly recommend!!!

Me and my partner stayed here for 2 nights and it was lovely. The house was spotlessly clean and tidy. We loved the hot tub and it was very private. Joy even left us lots of food for breakfast which we loved and there was a lovely selection!! We went to the Italian that was recommended in the booklet that was in the house and the food was 10/10. Thank you very much for the lovely stay. Highly recommend!! 😊😊

We had a really great stay, and wouldn’t hesitate to rebook and recommend to others. The location was really perfect for what we wanted. Chrissie is a brilliant host, she has really thought of everything and her instructions were clear. We didn’t need any help so Chrissie left us to enjoy our stay in peace but if we did need anything we were reassured that she would be responsive. Communication was great. Loved the hot tub and wood burner.

We enjoyed our stay at Vine Cottage. The place had a home from home feel, was clean and well maintained and equipped with everything we needed. Lovely big towels, fresh white bed linen and comfy beds. The outside area was lovely and we loved the hot tub. Check in/out was straight forward and Gill (and family) were very helpful and responded promptly before and during our stay. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We had a lovely Easter Weekend, with the house ticking all the boxes! It is fully equipped with everything you need and the best distance we’ve ever had to the local pub!! It was about a 25 minute drive to Lyme Regis and a great location for exploring the area! Alison’s communication was extremely quick throughout our stay and the check in was really clear and simple. Would definitely recommend a stay here ☺️

We had a nice relaxing break. It was a lovely cottage with beautiful surroundings. Sally was available for us when we needed anything. The directions she gave made it very easy to find. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

If I could give extra stars beyond the 5 star rating, I really would. Hillary's AirBnB is beautiful, exactly what my wife and I needed and agreed it was one of the best places we've stayed at via AirBnB. Hillary allowed for an early check-in, was really communicative being friendly and helpful whenever we did communicate. Cannot recommend enough!

The address says Jackdaw but it's number 3!! Should have Jackdaw on the front door or just change the listing to number 3!! Other than that, it was a pleasant stay once the boiler was turned on......

Firstly thank you Paul & Sarah for your directions. If you put the cottage post code in to your sat nav it will have you carrying out a U turn on the A31 so please note the directions given. The cottage is in a lovely location and was cosy, well furnished, well equipped and clean. The garden was lovely and great for our dogs but small dogs can squeeze through gaps in the fence (Paul is aware and is planning to block off any escape routes). There were fresh tulips and shortbread to greet us, which was a lovely touch, as well as lovely toiletries. Paul & Sarah were responsive to any queries or needs we had. There are lovely walks through the forest right on your doorstep. There is an outdoor hose for washing muddy footwear and paws. There are outside lights but the torch inside the cottage came in handy. We would happily recommend the cottage for a relaxing break.

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!

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.

We had a wonderful stay with Clive and his family, he was kind enough to let us feed his new born lambs. The Accomodation was very well stocked for everything we could need and was exceptionally well stocked for a baby

We’ve stayed here a couple of times and love the location and the house. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

A beautiful cottage, bath with a view and lovely hot tub in private garden. Provides everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Beautiful location, so peaceful. The barn with pool table and gym was a great addition. Responsive host too, a really lovely welcome when we arrived.

One of the best places I've ever stayed. The host laid out age appropriate toys just for my baby girl, the nursery was stunning and all the beautiful vintage toys made it feel magical. The whole property's aesthetic was carefully curated with beautiful furniture, decor and collectables, but also made you feel right at home from the first step inside. The garden was maintained to an impeccable standard and had gorgeous play equipment including the little cottage shed with playhouse set up. Listening to the birds on the morning as light poured into the living room felt heavenly. The host was very friendly and attentive throughout the whole visit, super host status very well deserved. We hope to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to get away into the countryside.

A fantastic cottage in a perfect location, it was everything and more than we were expecting. Katrin welcomed us on day one and offered advice on places to visit. Generous welcome pack was very much appreciated, as was the offer of an early check-in. One of the best cottages we have had the pleasure to stay in.

We had a lovely stay at Janet's. We went to visit family for a few days locally and booked last minute. Janet was very responsive, answered all questions and greeted us on arrival. Grandad's cottage is lovely, very well presented and was ideal for what we needed. It was great that we could take our dog. We didn't use the tennis courts or do any walking as we were very busy. The location is great and the parking is secure and spacious. Highly recommend Janet's place.

We loved staying here. Just as described , a beautiful comfortable cottage. Had everything we needed. Lovely kitchen to cook in. Also a great pub round the corner if you don't fancy cooking. We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home in the lounge in the evening with the fire going. It was warm and the beds were great. Lots to do in the area. It's it's raining. Taunton isn't far for bowling , cinema etc. Lovely board games cafe in Ilminster too. Lots of great walks near by and seafront towns of Lyme etc are great. Parking was just round the corner but that wasn't a problem and the little paved garden felt private and secluded for a coffee etc. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to be back again.

We loved our stay at Manor Cottage in Seend this past weekend. Peaceful cottage with homely feel, great tennis court and wonderful relaxing gardens. Francis made sure we were looked-after at all times. Thank you!! TJ & Gabs
