Farmstay vacation rentals in Dorset

We couldn't say enough good things about our visit - the cottage is beautifully decorated and maintained and the garden / orchard is so peaceful to sit in, both are just as described. The cottage is very well kitted out and there is everything you could think to need in the kitchen. There are so many lovely touches if you are visiting with children (which is rare for Airbnb, we find) and makes all the difference when away from home. This is an Airbnb where the owners care not only about the property but about the quality of your stay. Neil and Mike are friendly and accommodating, we only wished we had been staying for longer!

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.

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!

Rogers place is wonderful. The beautiful rolling countryside drives, it’s in a great location near Weymouth, Lyme Regis and other peaceful beaches. Lots to do nearby in Dorset. But most of all what a fantastic host Roger is. It’s a real treat to spend time here. Thanks!

We stayed at Jo and Trevor’s place as a last minute booking for a wedding. Though we didn’t spend too much time there, it was a lovely, cosy self contained chalet in the old milking parlour - as described! It’s in a quiet rural village location with views across expansive farmland from the property and parking right outside. We had a great stay and if we were in the area for some countryside walking, we’d definitely stay again. Honourable mention has to go to the shower which, in rural settings can often underwhelm but not here - plenty of pressure and plenty of hot water!

My family loved our stay at the Old Red Lion House Airbnb! My husband and I stayed here with my husband's parents, and we were very comfortable during our stay, and Blandford Forum was the perfect base for nearby sightseeing in Dorset. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the living space was very comfortable for relaxing each evening. The home is cozy and beautiful! Hilary is a great host, and provided all the information we needed, and clear instructions for everything we needed in advance. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Higher Blannicombe! The cottage is beautifully kitted out and has everything you could need for your stay. The cookies on arrival were a lovely touch and we really enjoyed the other free snacks! The views from the cottage are amazing and we loved waking up to the rolling countryside. Phil was a fab host and made check in and check out super easy. By far the best Airbnb we've ever stayed at!

Lyn and David are the most wonderful hosts! David build the home from the ground up and it is very beautiful! We loved how homely it felt, comfortable beds, views that are out of this world and a really peaceful place to be! We can’t thank you both enough for allowing us to share your slice of Mendip Hills beauty!! Lyn left some homemade scones which were to die for! We have to revisit as we didn’t explore all the amazing walks and Wells in more detail , and would not think twice to stay again. PS there is a beautiful little shepherds hut nearby with the same amazing views also built by David (Lyn said because he was bored!) Hopefully David remains bored, we look forward to his next amazing space/s. We highly recommend you visit!

We were not disappointed in any way with our stay. Karen was the perfect host, friendly, informative with great comms even before we arrived. The accommodation was exactly as described, spotlessly clean, well presented, what you see in the advert is what you get. The swimming pool is beautiful & private...just the birds breaking the silence. We would recommend this property to our friends/family... we hope to be back soon. Thankyou Karen & Hugh xx

We enjoyed our stay again at this lovely house with amazing views. Looking forward to staying there again in August. A peaceful & relaxing place to stay.

We had amazing stay at Axe Valley View for a long birthday weekend in June. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay with beautiful valley views. We especially loved how wildlife and eco-friendly it was, both inside and out. A short drive to Lyme Regis where we attended the Fossil Festival 2025 and great local hiking routes, including Golden Cap in Bridport. Alison was a lovely and welcoming host and we would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful setting and a beautifully built log cabin. Peaceful and tranquil. Well worth the money and we will return in the future. Visitors need to visit the anchor inn in seatown for lovely food and drinks

Lovely bolthole - beautiful barn with a wonderful view over nice garden and fields. Well equipped for two people and comfy with nice living space and TV. Kitchen had everything we needed (and we did lots of cooking) and good oven/hob/BBQ. The best thing for us was the tennis court - it's an artificial turf court in excellent condition - played very nicely and we used it every day! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

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.

We loved our stay! The granary is even better than the pictures. The space is beautifully designed and thoughtfully put together with everything you could need for the stay!

The shepherd's hut is the perfect peaceful getaway if you want to be in the middle of nature. Ducks, geese and a peacock wander the lawn - slice of heaven

We had a wonderful stay at Lockett Farm! The setting is peaceful and beautifully maintained, with lovely countryside views that made for a really relaxing getaway. The accommodation was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, and easy to communicate with nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel right at home. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of care into making the space feel special.

There are not enough words to do this property and Ava justice . It is truly stunning from its location to the laundered bedsheets , super equipped kitchen and so much more . We were made to feel so welcome . Ava and Chris really do go above and beyond . Our son Archie loved it and was encouraged by Ava to explore and see the cows . He really didn’t want to leave . Honestly we all wanted to stay . If you stay here , you will not be disappointed. We are looking for an excuse to come back

Highly recommended. This is our second visit. The apartment is very clean, well appointed and set in beautiful, well kept gardens. We enjoyed being able to walk our little dog in the private field/paddock at the rear of the property with lovely views of the surrounding fields and countryside. Well worth a visit and Steve is a very welcoming host.

We had a wonderful time here. Lovely hosts, quality furnishings, appliances and linens. Welcome pack really appreciated (esp. the fizz). Quiet and peaceful surroundings, yet only 3 mins by car to Broadoak for shopping, another 5 to the beach/harbour at West Bay. Walks from the accommodation if that's your thing, loved it when Roger (the dog) visited morning and evening. Loved it, should have booked longer. Thank you for letting us stay here.

We had a fab time at the Cider House. Eddy was very easy to communicate with. The house was lovely and carefully designed with everything one could need. The house location was perfect, peaceful and secluded.

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!

Delightful stay. :) Hosts were helpful, friendly, and very welcoming, and the property is gorgeous! Set in beautiful surroundings, and felt right at home in the perfectly appointed accommodation - would absolutely recommend!

Beautiful setting and house was absolutely pristine. The hosts couldnt have been more helpful and responsive. Would definitely recommend.
