Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Dorset

Lovely place with great amenities. Ideal for family gatherings and our 2 dogs especially were very happy with the outside space. It is easy to drive into Poole which has a good shopping area and lovely quayside. There were lots of good walking areas nearby and a choice of local park runs! There was a good space for the dogs to sleep off the utility room. And a well equipped games room in a former garage though this was rather cold at this time of year. I dare say some form of heating would be provided if requested. But we spent most time outside enjoying the garden space.

We, 5 adults and 4 teenagers, spent a very enjoyable Easter here. The directions in the comprehensive welcome message were good and the house was clean and ready for us. The nice warm indoor pool, the hot tub and the pool table were great and were heavily used. Kitchen is well equipped – we fed well! The weather was unfortunately not quite ready for the outdoor gas BBQ area. The beach is within easy reach, as is the Smugglers where we spent an evening eating and drinking. The host responded quickly to a question, which was great. All together great. Bottom line – we would happily go there again.

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.

We cannot speak highly enough of The Barn. It is finished to such a high standard and was spotlessly clean. Everything we could have wanted was there and the barn had been beautifully and lovingly restored by Charlie and their son. The hosts were so hands on with advice and recommendations. We were so honoured to be able to stay in such an amazing place and did not want to leave!

We chose a long weekend the week before Easter. The house and the location matched our expectations and needs. Allan’s meet and greet on arrival was a warm welcome and informative. Brook House is a lovely home and we had a great stay. The spacious kitchen, bedrooms downstairs, wood burner and hot tub are real highlights. We enjoyed a BBQ and a Sunday Roast during our stay. The outdoor patio lights work very well to enjoy the garden in the evenings. The house is wonderfully located to explore the south coast and nearby attractions. We enjoyed a walk to the local club for drinks and live music. (Only available Fridays) on the first evening. We did a day trip to Brownsea Island which was fun. Moors Valley Country Park and Forest nearby offers a lot of options for a family Sunday outing. Our only fault was not staying a few more days!

Cove Cottage is a wonderfully cozy place to stay in a great location in Portland. It had everything our family needed, was clean and the beds were super comfy. Parking wasn't a problem and checking in and out was really simple. Would highly recommend.

My parents, my sister and her partner and I had a wonderful stay in Sarah’s house for 4 nights. The views from the front and the top terrace of the garden over looking Lyme Regis and the sea was spectacular. The house is beautiful inside and out and the we had all we needed during our stay including thoughtful extras like milk, tea, coffee, biscuits etc on arrival. We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to return in the future.

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.

A great little place with well used space. Very clean rooms and nice and private away from the road

I went for the Easter long weekend with my mum and friend. Anna is super lovely and made the whole stay great. It was self check in but she was available over message and very responsive. The flat is super clean, comfortable and spacious. We had treatments at Annas salon (massages and facials) and we all agreed they were the best we ever had. Couldn't recommend enough!

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome by our lovely hosts.. The location is fantastic with good restaurants, an incredible harbour and miles of white sandy beach within walking distance. The novelty of staying on Sandbanks added a unique interest .. we loved it 😊.. Thank you Madeleine, Michelle and Nick for your warm hospitality 😊 x

David and Pamela were very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. We stayed for 1 night and all went as well as the description stated. Thank you for your hospitality and would recommend staying at their apartment. Easy parking and close to town and amenities.

I stayed here with my two young children and we had such a great time! The place is amazing and is bigger than it looks on the photos. They have everything you need in there, so we felt right at home very quickly. Fee was very welcoming and check in and out was super easy. There was also a lovely friendly cat downstairs called Nelson who was gorgeous! We loved him. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or stay again. Thank you!

Thank you Ruth. We had a lovely short stay. It worked brilliantly for us. After a long and wet walk at Lulworth Cove we took advantage of the lovely warm fire. Relaxed and watched a movie. Great memories.

i stayed here with some friends for a night, the house was beautiful, very clean and in a perfect location for us. our host Vera was very friendly and her communication was brilliant, very helpful and quick responses! i would definitely stay here again when visiting bournemouth:) thanks for making our stay pleasant!!

Great stay in a cute studio with garden close to the sea. We were unable to park on the road so had to pay for parking. One of the kitchen cupboards stunk of cigarette smoke, we cleaned everything before use to prevent the items tasting of cigarettes. Also only had two forks.

Had a really great stay! The cabin was even better than expected. Really great location, immaculate condition. If you’re looking for a staycation by the sea I would highly recommend. Perfect for dogs with lots of places to walk. A comfortable and homely cabin to come back to.

What an amazing stay, scenic location , great attention to detail in the shepherds huts with everything you require for a stay. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back again. Peter the host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was one to remember .. A true gem in the rolling hills or Somerset.

what an amazing place to stay. the cabin is warm and cosy and looks out onto beautiful countryside. Annette and Russ have thought of everything you might need. the cabin is charming, bright and modern with lovely decorative touches. the welcome pack was a lovely touch too including biscuits for our dog. The cabin is in walking distance of Hardy Monument and lots of other places to explore. we loved staying here and will definitely be back. Annette and Russ were really lovely hosts. warm and friendly but not intrusive. lots of ideas of places to visit and walk. thank you for a brilliant stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Mag’s place. Right from the start Mags was helpful and communicative. Mag’s went out of her way to be accommodating. The Cabin was very well appointed, better and more spacious than we hoped for. So relaxing. Worth noting The Cabin has a mini oven (which is really great) not microwave. We only mention that because we had brought dinner with us to stick in the microwave but dishes, pots, pans and everything you need provided so all good. Everything was clean and The Cabin had some lovely little touches to make a special relaxing time. The Cabin shares the same orchard area as a bigger cabin (albeit the cabins are angled in a way you can’t see each other). The Cabin is conveniently located between Somerton with lovely cafes and restaurants and Street for the outlet centre then on to wacky Glastonbury and stunning Wells. We loved staying at Mag’s. Would highly recommend it.

We had the most wonderful short break at Cedar cabin. Everything has been thought of, was spotless, and we adored the eco-friendly touches. Near enough the beauties of Dorset but set in its own peaceful surroundings, For a family with 2 small boys we’ve made some wholesome memories to cherish.

This is a fantastic little find for the New Forest. The studio itself has character, charm, and everything you could need for a short or longer term stay. Easy to find everything, and most of all, a lovely cosy comfy bed. Alison was a warm and welcoming host, who provided a list of recommended restaurants in the area. Responsive to messages, couldn't have asked for better. If I'm ever heading back to the New Forest area, I'll definitely be looking up this property first!

Absolutely gorgeous property hidden away in the woodland. The photos do not do it justice, it is much larger than the photos make and super cosy ! The cabin is a short walk from where you will park 5-10 minutes but the walk is lovely and very easy to find. The host was really helpful and replied very fast to any questions and queries. We will be looking to book again in the next year. The photos do not do the property justice !

We really enjoyed our stay with Adam, the cabin was cosy and had everything we needed. The hot tub was amazing. We loved exploring the jurrasic coast and Adam was a brilliant host. Thank you for our stay Adam.
