Sea Drift - a beautiful Fisherman’s Cottage

ChrisRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This a real gem, perfect for exploring the Isle of Wight. The property is tucked away in a quiet mews only 2 minutes from the town centre. The house was immaculate upon arrival and Susan the host had left some nice touches like the bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, as well as other treats. Very comfortable beds and a decent shower which was nice. Lovely spacious downstairs accommodation and nice comfy sofas in the lounge. Outside is a real sun trap ideal for eating al fresco or just sunbathing. The host Susan was very helpful and always responded quickly. A great find, and highly recommended!

BEACH HOUSE: sleeps 14 right on Sea / Beach / Sand

EmmaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We were a group of 12, and every one of us agreed this is the best holiday house we've ever stayed in. We loved the location, right by the beach and a short walk into town, but at the end of a cul-de-sac, so quiet and safe. We loved all the many books and musical instruments in the house - we felt very at home! We loved the beautiful sea views from 3 bedrooms, and the comfy beds, and the well-equipped kitchen. Our children loved the wide range of toys and the games console. The host made us feel very welcome. We felt it was very good value for money, and we would really like to come back and stay here again.

Whole seaside apt, stones throw to the new forest.

YasminRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Thank you, Carl, for a fantastic stay. You provided so much more - all those added extras made us feel so at home and made our stay easier. The extras in the kitchen - spices, condiments, dishwasher tablets, detergent, oil, milk, sweet teeats to welcome us! I even appreciated the shower cleaner and extra jay cloths! :) Thanks for the local recommendations, too, for my toddler. I also loved having a smart tv in the bedroom, and how cosy everything was. Its also worth mentioning that i have a physical disability, but Carl's place made everything manageable for me - it was a perfect size, everything accessible and the fact that everything was on one floor, was a real bonus. Thank you.

A luxury unique home spa - White Stones Retreats.

JamesRating, 5 stars1 month ago
4 adults, 4 young children and a dog stayed here for 3 nights over the NYE period. The house was well equipped and a good space for us. Highlight was the pool and given the time of year/weather it was great having somewhere we could use with the kids for an activity. Nice produce in Craig’s dairy farm next door. Just bear in mind there is a definite cow manure smell, so not sure how that would play out in the summer if you were eating outside. No little shops that are walkable for essentials so that is something to note. Other than those small things we had a great time!

Cottage close to beaches and restaurants

DominiqueRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed staying at David’s cottage for the week over the Christmas break with our newborn baby and dog whilst we visited friends and family in the local area. The size and space of the house was the perfect set up for us. The house was in a great location with local access to a great selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and bars and a really short drive to the beach and Poole town centre. There is a railway line bridge very close to the house but the noise didn’t bother us at all during our stay. For any questions we had for David he always provided a fast and friendly response.

Seaside Holiday Get Away

ClaireRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A nice weekend stay in January 2025. The accommodation is up the hill, a little walk from Swanage seafront; easy access by car to Langton Matravers/Dancing Ledge. The ground floor is what can be used as a self-contained double bed apartment. The first floor is a kitchen/diner/lounge. The attic floor is a nice master bedroom and a small twin room. The accommodation suited us very well and was spacious for the 3 of us staying. There is a nice pub and small Spar nearby. All communication was good and access easy. It's on-street parking so we had to park a few mins away. It felt a safe neighbourhood. We would return to this property!

The Beach House

DarrenRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We’ve had a fabulous holiday thanks to the house and its location. The house was just like home from home and with it being a 5-10 minute walk to an absolutely gorgeous beach, what more could you ask for. Even the pub next door did great food if you couldn’t be bothered to cook. Great break away from the norm. Just what the doctor ordered. Thank you to all associated with the beach house.

Amazing converted church -Dorset’s Jurassic Coast

SarahRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Wow, what an amazing place! This was our first Air B&B booking and was perfect for us, 6 adults and our black Labrador, Buster. The Tower was easy to find with clear directions provided and access simple with a key safe. The property was beautiful, quirky, interesting, well thought out, clean, homely, very well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The pint of milk and bottle of rose in the fridge was a lovely touch. The Tower was a short drive to Wareham, where there were plenty of choices to eat and where you can hire boats and canoes. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are also within easy reach. Ellie was a fantastic host and responded to any questions very promptly. We were grateful that Gordon and Ellie were happy to share their beautiful home with us.

Hideaway House, Easton, Portland

DanaeRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Well what can I say.... Hideaway House is a little gem. Cara has thought of everything and the house has a home from home feel about it. It is tastefully decorated, the beds are really comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and the shower was wonderful. We even managed to enjoy the garden and have breakfast outside. And it has the added bonus of parkin right outside the front door. We were a party of four ladies staying and enjoyed our 'weekend retreat' very much. The 'Welcome' hamper was very thoughtful and was very well received by all including the doggy treats. Cara is a superb host and we would highly recommend a stay at Hideaway House.

Charming cottage in Stour Provost

JudithRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We have just returned from Caroline’s beautiful cottage. It was everything we wished for and more. The cottage had everything we needed, the beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage was exceptionally clean. The surrounding area was very quaint and pretty and there was lots to explore in the area and a bit beyond. We spent NYE at Durdle Door, an hours drive away but well worth it. Would highly recommend Caroline’s cottage and our dog loved it too.
