Vacation rentals with a home theater in Dorset

Dolphin Retreat was a wonderful place for our family to stay together as we prepared for our son's wedding. The kitchen/dining/lounge area was a great central space and we even spilled out into the garden with its furniture and BBQ in April! The kitchen is well equipped with a big range cooker, ideal for cooking wedding desserts for 70 people! The property was very clean and had everything we needed. There is a Co op about a 4 minute walk away for the supplies we forgot to bring. There is ample parking for 5 or more vehicles. Nina was a great host and answered all our questions.

This place was something else... What a Gem! We booked Little Nans house as a surprise for the bride-to-be's hen weekend - and what a surprise it was! The hen absolutely loved the house!! It was bursting with nostalgia and many photo opportunities and every room is different in its own amazing quirky way. Tristan was super responsive to messages and even messaged me before our trip to wish us a happy time and give recommendations for local restaurants and things to do, which was very appreciated. We visited the local pub which was about 6 doors away and the locals were super friendly and fun. The harbour and the beach is just a short walk away and was fantastic. It felt like we were abroad 😀 We cannot recommend this place more! The hen loved the house and the location so much she's looking to return with her young family for a weekend away 😆 It's been nothing short of perfect! Thank you Tristan 😃

Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was just perfect. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we could possibly need. The beds were super comfortable, and we especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with great tips for local attractions and making sure we had everything we needed. The location was also ideal – close to everything, yet quiet enough to truly unwind. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay.

Beautifully furnished contemporary & excellently equipped home just a short stroll to the beach and shops. Fab kitchen, big comfy sofas, great ents/dining areas. V. comfortable beds with crisp white bed linen and towels! Lovely sunny garden. Good parking on drive and space on road for extra cars. They have literally thought of everything to make your stay as enjoyable and as easy as possible. Caroline and David were fantastic hosts and quick to respond to any queries. Some lovely independent restaurants / bars on the high street but sadly we didn’t get chance to try these due to my Dad being taken into hospital. However, we did get to Sobo bar for coffees on the beach and the Riverside restaurant for dinner. Both great finds. We also spent a lovely afternoon at Mudeford Quay and took a boat across to the sandbank huts. We bought some lovely fresh fish to cook too. Would recommend this as it is a beautiful place to stay and a great base to enjoy and explore the surrounding areas.

Our second short visit to Jim's luxurious and spacious apartment - just as good as we remembered. The weather wasn't great so our planned beach trips were cancelled but we enjoyed the cinema room and pool table and some nice meals in local restaurants.

Samantha was a fantastic hostess. Very welcoming, efficient communicator who responded to our enquiries in a timely fashion. The property was exactly as described and seen on the photos. Our children in particular had a lovely time enjoying swimming in private as well as the evening film sessions. They have already asked whether we could revisit where we have left off!

We had an amazing stay: the caravan was very clean and even smelled really good, spacious and really had everything we could wish for with all added details such as toys for the kids. The area was great of course, although too far for us to walk to the sister park Oakdene (we got lost in the forest and drove after that, which was fine also).

Lovely place to stay, easy to find and was a great base for us to explore from. The flat was very clean and tidy. Very spacious and perfect for relaxing. The host was very communicative with instructions beforehand which made check in really easy. We had no issues and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
