Vacation rentals with a kayak in Dorset

We had a wonderful stay here in Shaldon. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. It was a great location within walking distance of the village, beach and ferry to Teignmouth. The village itself is beautiful and we loved discovering Ness Cove beach and crabbing in Teignmouth. The beds were super comfy and Carlisle was really understanding and flexible with dates following my daughter's hospital stay which caused a lot of stress before we came. We will definitely recommend and visit again as a great base for a lovely break in the area.

very convenient for what we needed for our trip to Eastleigh

Lovely warm welcome to me and my friends .The location is super , right get next to the water with a slipway to launch canoes and paddle boards , yet a 5minute walk into town . Enjoyed the hot tub in the evening. The Chalet was very spacious and well appointed . Great for few days away with friends , we would book again .

Incredible views. Comfy and clean in a beautiful location

We had a lovely stay at Eleanor's place. The house was spacious and clean with loads of utensils provided in the kitchen. Eleanor was a lovely host, so responsive and helpful. She even kindly let us check out a few hours later as she had no guests that evening. It is walking distance from the seaside at Ryde and the station at St Johns Ryde. We had a wonderful week in the Isle of Wight with two young children. There is so much to do and we will definitely be back. We would be happy to return to Eleanor's if it is available.

An absolutely stunning property. Julie-Ann and Rich were incredibly welcoming hosts and there were lots of lovely little touches such as the breakfast goodies. The kitchen was superbly equipped and the whole property was very spacious. The linens and towels were really high quality and the beds were super comfortable. The views are incredible and it’s all very peaceful and relaxing. Being there at Christmas was very special with beautiful decorations and a wonderful atmosphere. Highly responsive and caring hosts; a very lovely stay in a very lovely home.

Bob and Clare were super-friendly and extremely helpful - wonderful hosts!

As a family of 6 adults and 2 children the house was perfect for us. Great comfortable furniture and beds with good linen. Each family had space and their own bathroom which helped make our stay really enjoyable. The kitchen was very well equipped with quality appliances and utensils. We loved our stay here and would recommend it to others looking for a large house overlooking a lovely sandy beach.

Great place, and one of the most welcoming host I’ve ever encountered. Everything just perfect: 10 minutes walk from centre, very clean, well equipped kitchen, large dining room etc. I’d warmly recommend to anyone would want to spend some quality time in Cowes.

Howell and Susie were the best hosts we have experienced. They were so welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed meeting their friends and neighbours out by the Duck Pond for a wonderful evening get together. A wonderful experience we will not forget. There were also extra special treats given to us. just great. Many thanks to Hywel and Susie

David’s cottage was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. He was welcoming and approachable, checking that everything was as we wanted, and also leaving us a lovely bottle of wine. The cottage was warm and comfortable with a pretty Christmas tree greeting us.

Thank you for a lovely peaceful stay in your cosy cottage Laura. A real home from home.The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need including tea, coffee and sugar and cooking essentials. The biscuits and fresh milk on arrival were thoughtful. The luxury toiletries were gorgeous and it felt like a hotel with the fluffy white towels and dressing gowns. Great quiet location with a private rear garden really fantastic for our two pooches and our Son to be free to play safely. The decor was really stylish and the whole feel of the cottage was welcoming. The provision of all the games and books kept everyone entertained and we slept well in the comfy beds. We recommend a visit to the Cotswolds water park for active families for kayaking, aqua venture and paddle boarding etc but it’s quite pricey ! For pub food we went to The Somerford Arms great atmosphere and only 5 minutes drive away. For your food shopping there is an Aldi or Waitrose 15 minutes drive away. Thanks again

Had a great stay, going to the pirate festival. Some issues came up but thanks to Zuzana's good and swift communication they got sorted quickly. Look forward to next year!

Great spot for what we wanted - lovely, charming cottage. It really fitted the bill and suited us perfectly. Sean was very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend.

Our 2 night stay in Katy’s property was wonderful and we wished we could have stayed longer! It is extremely well equipped with good quality furniture, fittings, linens etc, Katy has thought of everything we could need and more. The property is in a perfect position to easily explore the canal, basin, aqueduct etc. There are also bus stops nearby so we could leave our car behind when visiting Bath. We would highly recommend Katy’s place!

Thanks for our stay in the Boathouse. The location is without comparison for the views and being next to the water. The Boathouse is well placed for some great walking as well. We found the boathouse to be very clean, comfortable and well maintained. The only small problem was the wifi which was intermittent with a slow speed. Giles and Shannon gave us a warm and friendly welcome when we arrived, thank you.

Such a beautiful stay. The lake is very well stocked, wasnt short of catching. Fish were very clean and active.

this stay was absolutely worth it, it was so peaceful and private, which is just what me and my partner were after. as soon as we arrived, all we could hear was nature and animals which added to the peacefulness. the place was very clean and tidy, with fabulous decor. few added touches by the host that made it feel like a home from home. we will 100% return in the near future, very sad to have left.

We stayed for a few days at this charming little cabin, and found a great place to stay. A short walk to bars and restaurants of Totnes and close enough to the moors for some exploring. We would be happy to stay here again.
