Cottage vacation rentals in Dorset

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Lovely and peacefu,l we loved our break as did our 2 dogs Archie and Reggie, very safe and secure garden loved the hot tub. Recommend a visit to Dunster lovely place with great castle and grounds.

What a wonderful and truly beautiful home. Was a pleasure to stay in this serene countryside hotspot with a tree house, playground, incredible private lake and surrounding natural beauty. Very special. Can’t recommend enough!

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

Ruth's cottage was wonderful. The garden is totally fenced so it's dog friendly. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed was comfortable and nicely firm. We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the decked terrace when the sun came out. Ruth left us a small food hamper with bread, crisps, bread, milk and wine. Our spaniel enjoyed her walks into the Moreton village and playing in the ford. Moreton village has a walled garden and a cafe, and the church windows are something to see. Also, Lawrence of Arabia is buried in the village grave yard (separate from the church yard)

had a lovely weekend, the cottage was so beautiful, felt magical! everything you need is there, is was comfortable and clean. the local area is also lovely, great walks and little village. will definitely be back.

Helen and Martin were lovely and welcoming hosts. House was so clean, and the beautiful garden so peaceful and private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, meeting all the gorgeous dogs, relaxing in the hot tub and walking to the local pub - with delicious food. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely return! Thank you Helen and Martin 😊

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

Seafield Cottage is perfectly located with easy access to Lulworth Cove and a number of hiking trails, including Durdle Door and the trails along the cove. Absolutely stunning views. Lovely pubs close by and the salt sauna (which you need to book early if hire going to get a good time!). The cottage was super well equipped, comfortable and clean beds and rooms at a very good standard. The master room at the top of the 3 floors was gorgeous with an ensuite. The bunk bed room is great for kids, less so for overflow adults so really it’s a 2 x double bed property sleeping 4 adults + 2 bunk beds (4 in total) for kids. Emma was super responsive to any questions and gave comprehensive instructions and recommendations for the local area. I’d definitely come back and would recommend.

Had a wonderful solo stay with my dog at Dawn’s place. The cottage was cozy, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. Great local walks right from the door, a friendly dog-welcoming pub nearby, and a real sense of peace. Felt safe and relaxed the whole time —would absolutely return. Thanks for having us Dawn!

We had a brilliant stay at the Pink House! The house itself was beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting - we felt really at home here. Deborah was very friendly and responsive in her communication and sent us lots of local recommendations of things to do and places to visit. The garden was really private and we loved the built in BBQ and home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and the welcome basket that we're waiting for us when we arrived. The Pink House is in a great location with walks right from the front door and only 15-30 mins drive to the various beaches. We had a wonderful stay and wished we booked for longer - we'll definitely be back again!

Wonderful half term stay at little Gem Cottage. We used it as a base to explore Dorset, Somerset and even drove through Devon. It is well equipped for a baby with a lovely clean highchair. The kitchen was light and well stocked, we cooked every night.

Myrtle Cottage was a lovely place to stay. Clean, well equipped, good facilities & all in the heart of the countryside. A warm welcome was provided by our hosts and dogs. Basic provisions left in the fridge were a bonus. We were given tips on where to eat out & a few ideas of local walks. All in all we had a great stay which was all too brief.

We had a lovely relaxing stay. The cottage was very pretty and had lots of character and charm- it felt homely too- we loved that it was dog friendly. The local countryside and coast was stunning and easily accessible from the cottage. The hosts were very responsive and friendly-would recommend!!

Very comfortable and well equipped facilities especially the kitchen. Airy dining room and cozy lounging areas. Delightful garden and setting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage, the cottage was perfect base for the two of us and our dog Vinnie. The setting was a surprise even more beautiful than I thought right on the river with a short walk into Wareham - the Wareham seal even made an appearance for us. All in all a fantastic stay lovely memories made at lulworth cover, durdle door, Arne rspb and the blue pool all in a very short distance - the perfect base. Honestly cannot recommend enough

very nice and cosy accomodation, in the middle of nowhere (what we wanted). well equipped. very relaxed stay.

This cottage was perfect for our stay full of character and with a garden to sit in Claire was a lovely host and met us on arrival there was wine and milk in the fridge just what we needed would highly recommend this place for a holiday

Kilnside was a wonderful stay — beautifully clean, well appointed, and very peaceful. We especially loved the excellent shower, fully equipped kitchen, and lovely outdoor space. Ange is a wonderful host with great communication. Already looking forward to returning!

This was our second stay at Rob & Maggie's beautiful cottage in the tranquil village of Mells. They are great hosts, and it was a pleasure to return here for another relaxing stay in such a peaceful and beautiful location.

Our stay at Godminster cottage was wonderful and I cannot fault the hosting by Belu. From the moment we booked he was friendly and easily contactable no was very accommodating to our various requests. The cottage itself is beautiful with a lovely walled garden and outside seating area. We will definitely be back to visit again!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Rebecca’s. The property is charming (and super clean, up to date etc.) and it is set in a stunning area of countryside so it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind. The house had everything we needed and we felt right at home immediately. The location is perfect too - beautiful walks right from the house, a short drive from the coast but nicely away from the busier areas. Rebecca’s communication, flexibility and hospitality were also exceptional which all contributed to a brilliant holiday. Would highly recommend and looking forward to returning!

fantastic stay, thank you to Dorothy for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing, great folder left with recommendations on where to visit, where to go to eat etc, the views from the pub beer garden were just amazing. we went to a couple of local beaches and to monkey world, and corfe castle. and explored the surrounding beautiful village. annex was lovely, cosy and enjoyed using the private decking and garden. only one negative is that the water tasted chemically( if that's a word hahah) but we got around this by rinsing the kettle after each use and refilling the water per use. Thanks for a wonderful relaxing stay in beautiful Dorset.

Amazing stay in the place, Lovely pubs around & friendly faces. Clean space and Petra very attentive and easy instructions to get access to the house. Thankyou for our stay Petra! x
