Vacation rentals in Minstead

We had the most wonderful time. The church was fantastic and it felt a privilege to stay in a historic building that was also comfortable, spacious and had all the amenities we needed. literally a home from home. The location is top notch with many brilliant places to visit. Comms with the property manager was good too. Thank you Gordon and Ellie

Stayed at Rainbow’s End for 3 nights with my 9-year old daughter. Sue was responsive and friendly and the place was easy to find. Inside was nice and clean and had all of the things you need for a short break. As there is no oven/hob, we used the air fryer and hot plate (which was a little fiddly to get the right temperature). Shower was nice and the double bed was super comfortable. Sofa bed (as with most sofa beds) was not amazingly comfortable but ok for a few nights. Lovely surroundings, with open fields, pygmy goats, lots of lovely dogs (both Sue’s and visitors using a very popular dog training field). Was perfect for our needs and wouldn’t hesitate to return!

We had a wonderful stay in Cara‘s Portland cottage. We were there over Christmas week. Cara had decorated the house beautifully for Christmas and was really responsive to every request. We know Portland well and have many friends we were there to visit, so we already knew what a fabulous place it is to be. The cottage was really well stocked with all the equipment we needed and more. Cara left us a fabulous hamper of Christmas bits and bobs - so much we couldn’t get through it all! Thank you, Cara. We will be back!

James was good at communicating, and left clear instructions for everything. He also met us on arrival. The bungalow was as per the description and photos (please note that bed 3-twin room has drawer clothes storage but no hanging space). It's clean, light and airy. The bungalow was in a quiet location and yet close to amenities and a short walk to the beach. We had 3 cars between us and were easily able to fit them on the driveway. We would happily return!" I can't think of anything else that any potential guest would need to know above the information on Airbnb and reviews already left.

Dolphin Retreat was a wonderful place for our family to stay together as we prepared for our son's wedding. The kitchen/dining/lounge area was a great central space and we even spilled out into the garden with its furniture and BBQ in April! The kitchen is well equipped with a big range cooker, ideal for cooking wedding desserts for 70 people! The property was very clean and had everything we needed. There is a Co op about a 4 minute walk away for the supplies we forgot to bring. There is ample parking for 5 or more vehicles. Nina was a great host and answered all our questions.

We had a wonderful stay here, we felt very welcome and after a stressful journey Jo was so kind and got the bungalow ready for us as quickly as possible so we could check in early. It’s such a lovely space, very cozy and well equipped. The views are beautiful and the garden was perfect for the doggies. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, we all slept so well. We had a lovely breakfast basket, treats for the doggies and Jo left me a card for my birthday. It’s a great location to explore, we would highly recommended staying here.

This a real gem, perfect for exploring the Isle of Wight. The property is tucked away in a quiet mews only 2 minutes from the town centre. The house was immaculate upon arrival and Susan the host had left some nice touches like the bottle of Prosecco in the fridge, as well as other treats. Very comfortable beds and a decent shower which was nice. Lovely spacious downstairs accommodation and nice comfy sofas in the lounge. Outside is a real sun trap ideal for eating al fresco or just sunbathing. The host Susan was very helpful and always responded quickly. A great find, and highly recommended!

The cottage is gorgeous and Virginie ensured we had everything we needed for a luxurious and cosy stay. The garden is perfect for a dog, and there are lots of lovely walks on the doorstep!
