Guesthouse vacation rentals in Dorset

We had a fantastic time staying at James and Emma’s. Whilst the location is tucked away off the normal path, their clear instructions made it easy to find. Their restaurant recommendations were also great and meant we found some real gems that we wouldn’t have otherwise known about. We would love to stay again if we were ever back in the area.

Fantastic little place to stay, central to an amazing area with loads to do. Home was exactly as described and clean and clutter free with essentials provided. Barbara was friendly and provided local recommendations within the guidance. Would stay again.

We had such a lovely time at Sunset View. After a little blip getting started (which was very quickly resolved), we quickly settled in and felt right at home in Emily's comfortable and well thought out caravan. Devon Cliffs is a huge site but the van is in a great position in a quiet cul de sac so you're not 'on top' of other people. Only a 5 minute walk to the leisure area and shop and we had a lovely sea view when the sun came out! We really loved it and will definitely be back.

Absolutely brilliant place. Nicola was a fantastic host. Breakfast was a lovely touch and very appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone ! And the hot tub was a brilliant facility to have :) Would 100% stay again !!!

Lovely stay! Beani was extremely helpful. We would definitely recommend.

Lovely place, everything you need for a good value stay. Host was super helpful and recommended us a couple of places to go which was super helpful. Perfect for us as a place to stay on our road trip

This place was in such a nice area. There's a walk to a pub right outside the house and anything else is just a 10 minute drive away at most. Liz was a great host and told us everything we needed to know and made us feel right at home. We had a lovely time. Thanks Liz.

We have just got back from staying at Jenny’s property, from the moment we arrived both Jenny and her husband were so welcoming and helpful. They very kindly allowed access to their garden, which was great for our dog and daughter. They provided great recommendations throughout our stay. The property is in a stunning spot, with access to the beautiful countryside surrounding them. We were blessed with great weather, so loved the sunsets each evening, and sun rising over the back of their property each morning. We visited places across the island during our stay, and found this was a great location to do this from.

A really nice place, with a great host!

First time staying here, but we visit the area usually twice a year for family living in Llantwit Major. We loved the apartment, great facilities and very clean. We would definitely stay again. Short walk to town centre and a few nice pubs and a lovely new italian / portuguese restaurant

This was my second visit to Rebecca's. Rebecca is extremely helpful and responsive to any queries. The flat is spotless and well equipped. Will no doubt stay again!

Stayed for two nights and managed to visit Bath and Bristol so well placed for areas of interest. Immaculate and spotlessly clean. Lovely quite quirky place to stay with nice touches as a welcome. Had everything you’d need for a really relaxed stay. And nice to have the outside space too. Highly recommend this place for a couples weekend away.

Perfect place for a relaxing weekend. Beautiful garden with fire pit and hot tub. Amazing pub across the road. Close to the Jurassic coast for nice long walks 👍 Would highly recommend to everyone!

great place to stay…. spotlessly clean and very comfortable…. we will be back!

The Den is a wonderful place to stay, with a wonderful garden and stream, and generous hospitality from Sue and her husband. With good wifi and immaculate decor, it's a perfect place to stay if you're on your way to the Army Flying Museum.

A beautiful cabin in the lovely Wareham. I would definitely stay again.

Absolutely faultless sums up our stay! We booked this as a Mini-Moon holiday after getting married and heading straight down to the coast for our stay. As soon as we arrived we were greeted lovingly by the hosts including Zephyr the Deer Hound who welcomed us into their lovely corner of the world and congratulated us on our marriage. We were then left to our own devices to access the gorgeous property a stones throw away from the main house. The inside is a spacious open plan living room with kitchen that’s beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home you need for a long stay. The bathroom is perfect with a walk-in shower that has good water pressure as well as stays hot, amenities such as shampoo/conditioner provided. The upstairs is very quaint with a lovely futon style bed. This is the perfect bolt hole for a long weekend or couples retreat by the coast. Secluded but easy access to Swanage. Will definitely be staying again! A true pleasure!

This is my second stay at Nancy's lovely cottage. It's spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and only a 10-15 min bus trip into the centre of Bath. It's a peaceful haven and I hope to return again. Thanks Nancy!

It was really lovely to be greeted in person! We use a lot of Airbnb’s and, although there are advantages to arriving and letting yourself in, when you are walking round the side of someone else’s home, it feels like you’re intruding so I like being met at the door by the hosts. The Garden Room is as described. It is spacious, clean, private and has everything you need for a few nights away. There is plenty to do in the area including beautiful walks, beaches, tea rooms, crazy golf and plenty of good restaurants. It was a superb base and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you for a lovely stay. P.S. bring an alarm clock - the bed is so comfy you won’t want to get up! 😀

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed and the location was very private, quiet and safe. It was easy to get to from the motorway without having to deal with city centre traffic. The bed was very comfortable and I loved being able to see the stars through the Velux window. above the bed.

Compact, peaceful and characterful accommodation Well equipped kitchen

A stunning home from home. Gorgeous countryside all around and a lovely enclosed private garden. The barn is beautifully decorated, with really personal touches. Breakfast and essentials provided. Comfortable and just a total delight. Anna was helpful, responsive and courteous at all times. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Stayed here to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday. Exceeded my expectations,and we all had a fabulous stay. Easy to check in,everything was perfect and loved the hot tub! Have already recommended to friends and family and we will be returning in the future. Thankyou to the hosts x

Lovely stay with happy and welcoming hosts. One sweet and cuddly cat outside when sat on sun loungers. Ten minutes walk to the Tor. 30 minute walk to town, perfect. Tidy self contained flat with easy to use cooking and domestic facilities.
