Cottage vacation rentals in Isle of Purbeck

This is a wonderful ex farmhouse, situated at the entrance of a small and quiet holiday park. The house is extremely comfortable, with a very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and working tech. We had a very pleasant stay, with fantastic communication throughout. Many thanks to our thoughtful hosts.

Loved our stay in Rose Cottage - beautiful property that exceeded all expectations. Spotless clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very peaceful with incredible dreamy surroundings. Amazing kind host.

Great location, only a short drive away from pubs and restaurants. Very peaceful surrounding. Amy was friendly and helpful. The place itself is decorated beautifully with all the amenities you would need.

We couldn't have wished for a nicer stay in the New Forest! The cottage is equipped everything you need, is located in beautiful surroundings with ample cycling routes nearby, and has a hot tub as an added bonus. Cindy and Lina are super accommodating and attentive hosts. We will most definitely be returning!

We had a great stay here. Lovely lodge and beautiful surroundings. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

The hosts were helpful from the moment we booked our stay. We were given clear instructions on where to arrive and were greeted as soon as we pulled into the carpark. They explained all the necessary information and answered all of our questions and were very helpful. They were always available if we had any queries and gave plenty of local recommendations for food and activities. We would 100% recommend and would be more than happy to book again.

We had a fab stay, thank you! Hot tub first thing in the morning next to a field of donkeys and ponies catching the morning light - what more could you want?? We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. Family of 4. Kids aged 7 & 9. The outdoor sandpit & play equipment would be more suited to younger kiddies but our two still enjoyed them & they were just happy with the jacuzzi really. The owners were very welcoming and informative. Gave some good recommendations… Esme’s tea rooms in Brockenhurst was one of them. Yum! Best scotch eggs and cake selection ever! Would have given 5 stars, but the decor could do with a little refresh & kitchen equipment was a bit of a mish mash. Bring your own salt and pepper, sugar and tea, too. Hand soap and washing up liquid was provided.

A perfect find for a relaxing weekend with friends. This place was spotless, peaceful, spacious, filled with everything you could possibly need, and in a perfect location. We really appreciated the instructions written throughout the house, it meant there was no room for confusion and we didn't have a reason to message the host all weekend as they'd covered everything. We will absolutely be coming back.

Lovely place to stay, brilliant location and exactly as described. Charlotte was great at communicating before our stay and we found the place very easily!

We had a nice relaxing break. It was a lovely cottage with beautiful surroundings. Sally was available for us when we needed anything. The directions she gave made it very easy to find. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

We had such a wonderful stay, so much so we didn’t want to leave. Hilary was such a welcoming host and the cottage was so beautiful. Our whole family loved the cottage and we definitely want to come back. There’s so much to do in the area too. There’s lots of toys at the cottage for kids, including bath toys and a really cute outdoor kids dining table. Once the kids were in bed it was also so lovely and cosy for the adults. The pianos were also a great touch, we loved playing them and teaching the kids how to play. We would recommend the stay to everyone.

Julie's place was a fantastic place to stay during our time in Portland. The place was spotless, smelt nice and had all the amenities and items you might need for your stay. Locally, the walks are absolutely breathtaking! Some of the best views I have seen anywhere! There are a few food shops and takeaways locally, all fairly priced and good food. We will definitely return!

Firstly thank you Paul & Sarah for your directions. If you put the cottage post code in to your sat nav it will have you carrying out a U turn on the A31 so please note the directions given. The cottage is in a lovely location and was cosy, well furnished, well equipped and clean. The garden was lovely and great for our dogs but small dogs can squeeze through gaps in the fence (Paul is aware and is planning to block off any escape routes). There were fresh tulips and shortbread to greet us, which was a lovely touch, as well as lovely toiletries. Paul & Sarah were responsive to any queries or needs we had. There are lovely walks through the forest right on your doorstep. There is an outdoor hose for washing muddy footwear and paws. There are outside lights but the torch inside the cottage came in handy. We would happily recommend the cottage for a relaxing break.

Rowan Barn's open plan design worked very well as a welcoming space for three adults. It is set in beautiful countryside and in an excellent location for exploring this part of the Dorset coast. The cottage had everything we needed, including good access and easy parking. We have stayed in several different cottages in the area. This is the one we hope to return to. Thank you, Debra.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay. The cottage was warm, welcoming and cosy and very private. A good size for a couple and a labrador. The cottage was as described and was clean and quiet. Little touches such as towels, bedding, blankets, toiletries, coffee pods and milk were greatly appreciated it meant we didnt have to immediately dash out to the shops upon arrival. Communication and instructions from Kate were brilliant and spot on. Local spots and shops were listed in a little folder which was handy. We would definitely recommend staying here and will return in the future. Thank you Kate.

We loved our stay at Greystone Cottage. Instructions to find the place were clear and we found it straightaway. The place was immaculate, very cosy and clearly designed with dogs in mind. One thing to mention is that the stairs are steep. The kitchen is fully equipped but has also plenty of empty storage for your own food. The garden is fully enclosed and safe for dogs. We did the walk shown in the welcome pack, which starts just around the main gate and came back with a rather muddy dog! Luckily, a dog wash station is available by the cottages (with warm water!). We had an issue on arrival with the wifi, which Chloe sorted straight away. We were very impressed by how quickly she responded. We loved the place so much that we decided to book it again when we left!

I would highly recommend staying at Sandra's beautiful cottage. It is so well equipped, comfortable and cosy - a real home from home - and idea for long and short stays. Everything was immaculate and the bed and sofas were so comfy. And Cookie loved the dog bed and bowls that were provided. Sandra has provided lots of ideas for trips and places to eat locally. We will definitely return!

Lucy is a brilliant host, very responsive and friendly too. The cottage is in a great location and it's easy to get to the local shops and restaurants. Parking is easy and the cottage has everything you need and more. It's a lovely place to stay.

We had a great stay at the cottage celebrating my mother in law’s 70th birthday. Natasha was fab and responded to my many queries quickly as well as getting us discounted ferry tickets which was excellent. The cottage was spotless and really stunning. The garden was a particular hit, especially with the kids who loved the swing and watching the ferries coming in. The pictures didn’t do the house justice, it was really lovely. A couple of things that need to be improved - the high chair harness straps were broken so we couldn’t use the high chair as our baby would slide out of it and fall. The beds in the 4th bedroom downstairs were very uncomfortable with springs popping out. The garden was huge, but it would have been nicer if the grass was cut and unfortunately there was dog mess which the children walked in. That said, we had a great stay and would recommend the cottage to others! Thank you ☺️

We had a really lovely stay at the cottage. Joanne was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome. The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well-equipped. The setting is great and we really loved having the tea shop across the road! Joanne also kindly let our children use the play area of the campsite. Lots of great things to do nearby. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our time in Sway and would recommend this as a great apartment and location to stay in. Communication before, during and after our stay was great, with the hosts answering any questions that we had. The accommodation was spotless throughout and was really well furnished. We would highly recommend for anyone looking to visit the area.

An ideal location for an extended stay and enjoyable holidays. The Foxhill reception and attentive service is excellent Nothing is too much trouble and Dairy cottage is equipped with everything you need.

Was such a lovely cosy place to stay! We will be back in the summer! Fern and Jamie x

What a fantastic house in an amazingly beautiful location. We met up as a family for the weekend and don’t think we could have found a better place to stay 👍 The house is well equipped and well laid out with great rooms throughout. The comms from Sally were timely, accurate and very helpful. The access to Stourhead and grounds were a bonus we weren’t expecting, so we had a fabulous day waking the gardens and house, with the Spreadeagle Inn ideally located for food and pit stops. I’m sure we’ll return when we can find the next excuse to meet up again 👍
