House vacation rentals in East Dorset District

Private & peaceful location, beautiful surroundings and friendly hosts. Great experience overall👍

We were looking for somewhere in the New Forest area to celebrate our wedding anniversary with family. This house was perfect for us all, 8 adults and 5 grandchildren. The house is in a beautiful, quiet location which is exactly what we wanted. The house has everything you need and more, fully fitted kitchen with massive island and dinning table. All rooms were spotless as well as the many toilets and bathrooms. We stayed in the master bedroom which is very tastefully decorated. The swimming pool was a big bonus, perfect size and depth for our Grandchildren and very warm. It also had a padlocked gate to keep the little ones out when playing in the garden. Our host Katie was brilliant from start to finish keeping us updated on the stay and very responsive to messages. She provided a welcome food pack of sausages, bacon, bread and essentials which was really appreciated. Katie even took the time to let our grandchildren help her feed her horses. Can’t wait to return!

We stayed at Sam’s place to celebrate my husbands birthday. From the start Sam was responsive, friendly, answered questions and gave some fab advice. When I made a request she did everything she could to make it happen. The caravan itself is in a lovely peaceful part of the park with easy walking distance to the woods for the dog to have a run and also to the beach where we wandered to the pub and then back for an ice cream. Sam clearly explained how everything worked, where everything was & what she was doing to make things perfect for her guests. Her guide for things to do was really helpful so our days were filled and never dull. I would call this caravan a proper family home, it does everything it’s suppose to so you can just relax and enjoy your holiday. When I had some sad family news, Sam went out of her way to make sure we were ok and that we didn’t need to rush out the caravan on check out, so if you want a proper family home from home that does what it says - visit here! 🩷

We hired this for a few days with family to celebrate my nans 70th birthday. Absolutely beautiful house and gardens and the facilities are amazing. We live locally so knew about the area but loved having a swimming pool, tennis courts and snooker table for all of us to enjoy. The lounge was bigger than we thought and comfortably sat all of us. We also received a helpful guide a few days before our stay which gave us all the information we needed. Overall a really lovely stay, thank you!

This is our second time staying in this lovely caravan. It’s always pristine and lovely. I always felt like a home away from home there. The bedrooms are a good size and the extra full bathroom is a definite plus! I’d highly recommend staying here.

We had a blissful few days at Flint cottage. Wonderful kitchen to cook in, and multiple fabulous farm shops nearby. We ordered a heat and eat pie and a DIY breakfast pack for our first night, which made the start of the holiday so much more chilled out. The outdoor bath was also really special. We were so comfortable throughout we just relaxed completely. Can’t wait to come back!

Excellent location, car needed but it’s possible to walk to a good pub for dinner. Very peaceful area

The house is exactly as advertised. Spotlessly clean. The rooms are spacious. The whole house is very well maintained. The location is superb. Absolutely nothing to complain about. I would thoroughly recommend it. Our hosts were very easy to contact and made sure we knew everything and had everything.

Peaceful, comfortable place on Vicky’s farm. Beautiful nature surroundings. We felt right at home. The house is spacious and lovely. Recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Annexe. This is the 5th time we have stayed here. It’s always very clean, comfortable & in a lovely quiet area. It’s a short walk to M & S food hall which is great & there’s also a local Tesco Express.

A truly special place. The pictures actually don’t do justice to how spacious it is, and how immaculate and well thought out it is, and the Wind in the Willows theme works perfectly in the peaceful surroundings of the riverbank. It’s a really calming and cosy place, and sitting eating breakfast by the riverbank was a joy. The spa bathroom is an extra treat on top. Chris and Judy were extremely proactive and we arrived fully informed with local recommendations and everything was easy to check in and out. We met Judy on the second day who very kindly greeted us and gave us more tips on things to do nearby. We hope one day to return!

Delightful cottage, lovely garden. We stayed 5th May for a wk. Weather was amazing so spent most of our time sitting in the conservatory or in the garden . The very well equipped Kitchen is big so plenty of space to socialise whilst cooking. Minor issue with one double room not being set up as twin. But this was sorted promptly by very helpful staff member. All communication was swift & efficient. Would recommend

This place was absolutely perfect for us. The grounds are huge and full of wildflowers, and with the children’s play area it kept everyone happy for a whole day. And the playroom and toys were much enjoyed. The main bedroom has a very comfortable bed, which was appreciated. The kitchen area is clean and compact, with enough equipment for our needs. Overall an excellent choice.

A truly wonderful property. It is a beautiful and quiet oasis right in the centre of Wimborne. The inside is so stylish, comfortable and immaculate. The garden is well tended and we enjoyed the sunny seating areas. With the bonus of the river just over the back gate and a path running alongside, we found it to exceed all our expectations. The atmosphere in Wimborne never disappoints us. Apart from the town's beauty, the people are so very friendly and has so many good places to eat and drink. We shall be returning and would be delighted to stay in Georgina's River Cottage again.

We had an unavoidable complication being unable to contact Stephen on our arrival (nobody's fault) but we're so welcomed and looked after by the neighbour and local pub we felt incredibly welcomed on Stephen's behalf. Stephen's place is lovely, the garden is magnificent, the local area and village very pleasant and the pub highly recommended. All in all we were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend Stephen's place.

The Air BnB of Gwyneth is a wonderful place. It‘s a really cozy little cottage with everything you need. We really liked all the lovely details in the beautiful appartment and we also fell in love with the beautiful flower garden and the landscape around us. Gwyneth was a really nice host. She gave us so many tipps for places to shop, eat and things to do around the Air BnB. We would come back anytime.

We had an amazing time, This house was lovely, just like the description, perfect for a holiday. The host was easy to communicate with and the instructions were very clear. The area is lovely, backing into a horse field with beautiful views. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice holiday in the new forest. Thank you for a lovely holiday and great memories.

Alderholt was a great location for a get together with friends. There was plenty of space for 4 couples and the en-suites on all rooms was a real bonus. Relaxed dining in the kitchen and the more formal dining area for our ‘private chef’ dinner on the Saturday was perfect. Great outdoor space, peaceful and private location. We had a fantastic break and will definitely be coming back

We had a great stay at Treetops and thoroughly enjoyed the house and garden. It is a lovely space for getting together with friends and family. Allan and Jo were great hosts.

My husband and I stayed here with my parents (and my Cockapoo!) We had the best time, the house was beautiful! The interior was gorgeous, it was actually better than the photos. The location is super quiet and in the middle of no where so make sure you take what you need as there is no such thing as 'nipping out'. The driveway itself takes 3.5 minutes by car :) We visited The Fox Pub for Fathers Dy and they do a lovey Sunday Roast. I would totally recommend this stay, Laura was great also, very quick to respond to any messages and really helpful.

Echoing other reviews, this is an absolutely stunning place. I totally fell in love with it - so unique, full of character, beautifully done up, and with everything needed for a stay. Such fun being lulled to sleep by the sounds of the sea. Thanks for a truly fab stay.

The house was beautifully furnished and a quiet peaceful space to stay. Kitchen had all necessary equipment for self-catering. Tess had left some basic provisions which was very helpful. Sleeping area very comfortable with lovely views. Delightful garden. Would return.

We spent a weekend here with our teenagers. The house is beautiful. The garden is lovely - in sun and rain! The location is just around the corner from gold hill and a cute little playground built on a hill. It’s easy walking distance to town and the house was so lovely that one morning when it was raining I could not think of a better place to be than in the dining area looking out through luscious house plants to the wild flower garden and listening to birds chirping away. You will feel your blood pressure drop as you sit there and chill out. The lounge area was great for evening family movie viewing and a quick nip up to local shops both evenings for ice cream made it perfect!

Thanks for a great stay- it was a lovely house, nicely decorated and well equipped. We enjoyed the fire pit and it was great to try the sauna.
