Family-friendly vacation rentals in Dorchester

We had a lovely week at Alpine Grove touring park. Clear communication from Keith. The space was very clean and had all facilities needed for our stay. Our toddler also really enjoyed the swimming pool! Would definitely stay again. Loved it

Orchard Barn Spa is a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the city. We stayed there with our four month old and Chris was very accommodating, providing a baby bath etc. It provides the perfect base to explore all that the new forest has to offer, has ample parking space, is very clean and sits in a private plot. Thanks again Chris for a great stay and for your great communication throughout our trip.

Lovely hut inside and out, set within lovely gardens. Plenty of places to relax outside, especially the hot tub. We drove to the Bell at Broadway, lovely pub for food with plenty of options and majority can be gf too, including the home made pizza with a large selection of toppings.

We've just returned from another wonderful stay at this property in Long Sutton. As returning guests, we were delighted to find it just as perfect as we remembered. The location is stunning, offering peace and tranquility, and the property itself is immaculate. This time, we particularly enjoyed the pool and sauna – a real treat! We can't wait to return. Many thanks to George and Gill for the amazing hospitality.

Amazing place! Perfect location for a family holiday. The house has absolutely everything you need and more. We really enjoyed sea kayaking and paddle boarding with all Daves's kit. The sea is so close you can carry everything down to the shore. We really loved the hot tub and sauna and bbq area. The games room was a great space for the kids to hang out and play as well as the adults. We couldn't have wanted more. We'd wholeheartedly recommend this amazing house.

We have just returned from a wonderful and restful 3 day break. Would highly recommend this property as it was private, spotless with everything you could need. The hosts were amazing, very friendly and informative of things to see and places to go to locally. Their beautiful dogs were an added bonus for us. Will definitely be returning ASAP. The best Airbnb we have been to.

Definitely recommend Sam’s beautiful house. Immaculately kept garden with hot tub and huge trampoline which kept the children busy. All rooms with clean and had everything that we needed. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms were clean and showers etc all in good order. Thank you!

Thank you so much for hosting us Tracy. The hut was perfect, beautifully furnished with lots of thoughtful touches. The best bit was the location, private and secluded. The view from hut was just of rolling hills - no buildings or even roads in sight! A place to unwind and de-stress.

What a lovely surprise for we history buffs to find ourselves in an historic church and graveyard. Once inside, delighted at the little touches on theme, eg welcome goodies greatly appreciated. On our long trip, the most comfortable beds and pillows yet. Also compared to many AirBNBs, Gordon’s place had good kitchen facilities eg plenty of cups, plates and cutlery etc.

A very beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Immaculate and full of beautiful furniture and books. Beds were very comfortable We found parking just outside. Bruton is a lovely town to walk around.

We had a lovely Stay, was in a perfect location to explore lots of amazing sights, beautiful views and lots of seaside town nearby. Sharon was very friendly and helpful and the place was comfy and had everything we needed.

Wow, what a stunning location. It's every bit as beautiful as in the photos. We watched glorious sunsets from the terrace and enjoyed walks on the beach. I enjoyed looking around the immaculately kept gardens and could have watched the colourful koi in the pond for hours, plus the two cute horses in the field. Andrew's directions to the house are spot-on, please don't trust your satnav or you risk being taken down some very narrow lanes with grass growing in the middle and no passing places. Ask me how I know. There is no mobile reception at the house, as you would expect given the location, but the wifi is very good. Beds and bedding super comfortable.

Janey's place was in a lovely, secluded corner of Compton Abbas that provided a true sense of peace and privacy in stunning surroundings, whilst remaining just a short car journey away from town. Our lovely hostess was extremely charming and her Airbnb was full of thoughtful, personal touches throughout the property that made us feel right at home. We could not recommend Janey enough and encourage anyone to consider staying at her place. It's truly one in a million with a beautiful boat accessible lake right on the doorstep and acres of land to explore. Steve & Anna

The guest cottage was exactly as described. A lovely 'home from home' with some beautiful little touches that made it a special place to stay. The cottage and garden were peaceful and private and secure for our dogs. Maxine has thoughtfully laid on so many amenities in the cottage, it just made our stay so much more enjoyable. Sidbury is a small village with a convenience store/butchers and a pub, The Red Lion. Both are within a few minutes walk of the cottage. The Red Lion was super friendly with good beer and food. An excellent host and place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Louise's place. It was in a beautiful location which for us was quiet and relaxing from our London hustle. Louise's recommendations regarding local amenities' and things to do was super helpful and we can positively endorse the many items she recommended. The studio flat was spacious and perfect for us especially with the outdoor space, great reviews from us regarding the cleanliness and comfort. Many thanks!

A house with great character. Excellent accommodation for all the three generations in our group. Nice to have a bath plus two showers and WCs on each floor. On busy road but double glazing very effective. Four good sized bedrooms, lounge and long dining room table easily able to seat us all. Nice wall art, books of local interest. Useful and tidy walled yard at back of the house. Xian and Ross quick to respond throughout the booking.

Private & peaceful location, beautiful surroundings and friendly hosts. Great experience overall👍

Our family loved staying at the condo. Jacqui & Tony were extremely accommodating and answered all our questions in a speedy manner. The pool is a very nice touch to the air bnb. We used it once as the weather was very nice whilst we were there but definitely would’ve used more if the weather hadn’t been as good. Thanks Jacqui & Tony

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

The views from Seascape are wonderful and added greatly to our holiday. From sunny breakfast on the deck to cosy evenings watching the sun set we found everything we needed and we felt at home straight away. The lodge was immaculate and Judith dealt quickly with the only issue we had when the oven had a fault, so our holiday was not impacted greatly. It's a 15 minute walk into Swanage with an uphill return or free 2 hrs parking next to the Co op if you spend £10 there. Altogether a perfect place to enjoy Swanage and explore the Isle of Purbeck.

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.

This is our first Airbnb stay, also our first stay taking our dog. Having read and turned down a number of other Airbnb places the ducks wing seemed to fit the bill (no pun intended). The garden is lovely and secure, the rooms are extremely quirky which we both liked, our dog loved it. We didn't make best use of the many facilities including the pool, BBQ etc. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden listening to the countryside. As I've said our first experience with Airbnb but we were very impressed.

Amazing stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Great location and super easy check-in. The host was friendly and responsive—would definitely book again!

Thank you for the loan of your beautiful lodge,it was beautiful,clean,tidy and perfect for my 90 year old mum to enjoy her little holiday away with me,everything was as described and instructions were clear on getting to the park, checking in and checking out. Nicola and Georgie are fantastic hosts,very responsive and quick at replying if i needed anything,thank you again can not recommend this beautiful lodge and amazing views enough.
