Cottage vacation rentals in Isle of Purbeck

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

This was our second stay at The Old Piggery, and again we absolutely loved it. It’s such a beautiful location. Grant is really helpful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at Ruth's stunning cottage. Ruth was a fantastic host, always on hand to answer my many questions (sorry Ruth😅) to walking in to find a lovely hamper. She also had mapped out some walk trails and supplied books / leaflets for local amenities. Cannot fault anything! We loved the hot tub and such a lovely enclosed garden so our dog was free to run around at his own leisure. It felt like a home away from home as we were able to use Ruth's BBQ too! Thanks for having us Ruth!

Wonderful little cottage, where get to see horses and donkeys everyday. We loved staying here and are already looking to book again in the autumn. Joyce & David are lovely and we’re happy to show us around the farm and tell us all about the animal, thank you so much.

We had a lovely few days, lots of room in the house, hot tub and games room a bonus, along with the deer in the garden yesterday morning! Many thanks for the welcome pack and milk.

Had a wonderful two days at The Bothy. Such a beautiful spot and the cottage I think looks even better in real life - and it looks pretty wonderful in the photos! We felt right at home straight away- Chrissy had left some welcome staples which was appreciated and there is everything you need for a truly lovely stay. We made use of the hot tub which was fab and it’s in a very peaceful but convenient location to explore the New Forest. Come - we hope to go back soon.

We had a really lovely stay here this week. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful and we even saw a woodpecker hopping around the grass one afternoon. Our daughter adored the trampoline and climbing frame, we also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each day after exploring. We did day trips to Lyme Regis, Beer and Forde Abbey & Gardens. A perfect, peaceful spot to spend a few days, thank you.

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

Would not hesitate to book again. The cottage was spacious, clean and had everything you might need plus more. It is also a short walk away from Freshwater Bay. Also importantly the hosts Zena and Phil do all they can to make sure your stay goes without a hitch, a lovely couple.

Wow, what a stunning location. It's every bit as beautiful as in the photos. We watched glorious sunsets from the terrace and enjoyed walks on the beach. I enjoyed looking around the immaculately kept gardens and could have watched the colourful koi in the pond for hours, plus the two cute horses in the field. Andrew's directions to the house are spot-on, please don't trust your satnav or you risk being taken down some very narrow lanes with grass growing in the middle and no passing places. Ask me how I know. There is no mobile reception at the house, as you would expect given the location, but the wifi is very good. Beds and bedding super comfortable.

Charming cottage, very central and convenient for exploring Wimborne. Lovely courtyard. Helpful and communicative hosts

We had a wonderful stay! It was the perfect setting for my partner and I to enjoy our first holiday together. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and made our trip truly special. We felt right at home (and Rowena left very clear instructions, left us some beautifully kind treats in the fridge and on the table which was lovely) and me and my partner couldn’t have asked for a better experience; we’re still talking about the house and the holiday and it’s been a few weeks since we left. Highly recommend & I must thank Rowena for the great hospitality!

Great self catering accommodation, small but perfectly formed! If you’re looking for total peace and quiet in a beautiful area, close to lovely beaches, towns and villages then this is for you!

A perfect stay in every way, lovely walks in beautiful surroundings. The cottage had everything we needed and Denise was very helpful even leaving a welcome pack.(Nice touch) Would love to stay again in the future. Thanks Denise for sharing your lovely cottage😊

Beautiful location and cottage, and the garden was a pleasure. Lots of space in the kitchen and living room for the whole family. A very relaxed and chilled stay with no drama and a lovely holiday all round. Would certainly stay again. Thank you Lizzie

Lovely home in a beautiful setting ! House is extremely well kept and has everything you need, lovely big outside space. Lots of things provided to keep children occupied if you have any (we were a party of 6 adults staying to compete in the Race the Sun Triathlon). All the beds were really comfortable - plenty of hot water and really helpful that the linen and towels were provided. Also great to have the washing machine which meant we didn't have to bring dirty clothes back home with us ! Highly recommended !

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!

We had a wonderful stay in the smugglers cottage for a little birthday getaway. Was a perfect location to get to Swanage, Studland and Corfe. The cottage was super clean and tidy with everything you could possibly need!

A lovely self-contained annexe attached to Deb and her husbands cottage, with private access and parking off road. Really clear instructions provided by Deb prior to arrival. Very friendly when we met and came out to greet us and say goodbye. Otherwise left to our own devices but was welcomed to just knock on her door if we needed anything. Very comfortable including the bed zzzz

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. It was in a great location for exploring Swanage (5-10 minute walk from the seafront/town). The cottage was clean and the kitchen well stocked with helpful items e.g., condiments and tin foil. We were able to get free parking on a nearby road as directed. We would stay again.

A lovely place to stay within walking distance of some great restaurants and shops. The thoughtful touches were really appreciated and the lodge had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

We loved Susan’s cottage. It was perfect for our family of 4. It was really cosy and welcoming, we felt immediately at home. Location was great, being able to walk to the pubs and restaurants in the evening, but set in a lovely peaceful little row of cottages. Susan was also a super helpful host and really responsive. We had a great holiday, loved exploring Yarmouth and West Wight.

We had such a lovely stay at Ashley and Ashleigh’s beautiful cottage! We didn’t want to leave! It is a fantastic location a short ten minute walk to the lovely Branksome Chine Beach, but tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac location. Superbly clean, well equipped and well presented and peaceful, the bed was also super comfy! We hope to return soon! Thank you both again for a fantastic stay!

Leah visited us on the day of our arrival to check all was OK. The cottage has all the little extras anyone would want. Its location is within the boundaries of Shaftesbury Abbey which has now disappeared but must have been spectacular viewed from the valley below. Views over the valley can be enjoyed when taking the 5 minute walk along the edge of this hill towards the centre of town and Gold Hill the ‘Hovis’ hill. We used the cottage as a base to explore Dorset and surrounding counties and would highly recommend the cottage for its amenities and quiet location next to the hospital and close to the centre of the town.
