Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Shaftesbury

When we first stumbled upon this Cottage on AirBnB, it seemed almost too good to be true. There must be a catch! But everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Mandy is the most thoughtful, gracious host. She provided us with all the information we needed and showed us around. The Cottage is just perfect! Location is incredible and it is our new go to long weekend break in the New Forest. Mandy had excellent restaurant and walk recommendations and was of great help. She went way beyond to make our long-weekend comfortable and memorable. Thanks Mandy for a wonderful weekend! We will be back, Russ & Michelle

Great place for a large family gathering Plenty of space and very well equipped with enough for 8 easily We had a very relaxing time

We, 5 adults and 4 teenagers, spent a very enjoyable Easter here. The directions in the comprehensive welcome message were good and the house was clean and ready for us. The nice warm indoor pool, the hot tub and the pool table were great and were heavily used. Kitchen is well equipped – we fed well! The weather was unfortunately not quite ready for the outdoor gas BBQ area. The beach is within easy reach, as is the Smugglers where we spent an evening eating and drinking. The host responded quickly to a question, which was great. All together great. Bottom line – we would happily go there again.

I can't thank Carolyn enough, after finding out I was surprising my 12 year old son to a birthday getaway birthdays banners and signs plus sweets etc all put out for when we arrived! above and beyond for us. Carolyn was very responsive, informative and so kind. wonderful localaton, amenities etc. caravan was like home to home, well equipped and very clean. thank you again! highly recommend! 5🌟😁

Bridget’s cottage was absolutely tremendous! It felt homely, warm and welcoming! It was private and out of the way without being miles away from what you needed. We stayed with our 18 month old and dog who had a lovely time too. The stair gate on the bedroom was great as it gave our son freedom to wonder about upstairs whilst we got ready. There was also plenty of room for the travel cot too. Bridget was excellent at giving local recommendations and instructions for the cottage. We tried Rye in Frome which served excellent coffee! So thank you for that too. A perfect Christmassy getaway! Felt like the holiday! Thank you so much xx

We had a lovely stay here. A cosy, clean and comfortable place within walking distance of central Wells. The bungalow is in a really quiet area and Lyn went above and beyond in making us feel welcome. It was wonderful- thank you.

We loved our stay in this stunning home! Two fab pubs just outside which had been recommended to us by the host, along with lots of other helpful tips. Parking wasn't too much of an issue for us, but be warned the village was quite crowded with tourists, even at this time of year. Didn't bother us too much but we weren't really expecting it! We loved the house and really loved that there were some logs left so that we could have a cosy fire in the log burner. Stairs are a bit of a death trap (this was to our amusement) but host had warned us about those so we were aware of what we were getting ourselves into! People with limited mobility would need to take this into account when booking. Really appreciated we were able to bring a dog too, and there were some lovely walks around the area, umbrellas and wellies were at the property which was also really helpful. Overall a really beautiful unique property, ideal for a cosy winter stay!

We had a great weekend in Bruton at Steve’s place. The location is perfect for wandering into town for coffee and food. The home was well equipped with everything we needed. We loved the bath and the fire. Steve was very attentive and made sure that our stay was great.

Had a 2 night stay whilst in the area for work. Had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The host was very friendly and sent lots of useful information prior to check in. Would happily stay again.

We had a comfortable stay with our 5 month old. Spacious bathroom and clean throughout. Good instructions for check in and friendly communication. It is a top floor apartment and the stairs are quite shallow, so perhaps not suited to anybody not steady on their feet. Little bit of street noise but this was to be expected in such a fantastically central location on the main high street.

Great flat close to the town centre, yet nice and quiet. Good value, well kitted out, with plenty to do if it's raining. Very comfortable bed. Host is super helpful and flexible, arranging for the cleaner to let us in at our chosen check-in time. Recommend. 👍

This is such a fantastic place to stay. Richard goes above and beyond to ensure his guests feel welcome and are comfortable. The apartment was spotlessly clean and has everything needed for our visit. The location of the accommodation is perfect for access to the beach, local shops and the bus route to the surrounding areas.

First time in Bath, UK and Helen’s place was the perfect introduction to the city. Located across from the beautiful green park, just at the cusp of the beautiful city. Apartment was clean and warm. There was a book of very clear instructions that made the stay hassle free. Helen included local recommendations of places to visit and eat at. So convenient. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to visit bath! Great job Helen!

Such a spacious and lovely apartment! A really comfortable and cosy stay - we loved the extra touches like the robes and slippers. Location was amazing for us as it's a short walk into the city, and very close to the Bath Skyline walk.

Great place. Right in the middle of the city.

The apartment was fantastic. Beautifully decorated with everything we needed. Melissa was very helpful with check in details and when we asked any questions. Amazing location.

I truly believe David’s home “calls you” when your soul needs peace as well as David’s intuitive advice. I have never stayed at a place where the host is nearby (never mind in the same property) and yet, at David’s house I felt extremely comfortable and safe from the start. The house, amazingly located at the feet of Tor’s grounds, is beautiful inside out. It has everything I needed for a pleasant stay, such as, comfortable beds and linen, as well as, a large family kitchen to cook. Yet, its energy, specially in the living room, and garden grounded and soothed my soul. David, the host, gave us the space and privacy needed when one’s on a break. However, he also was a wonderful listening ear and amazing source of advice. Overall, it was a truly amazing stay and I cannot wait to return soon again.

Lovely family home in the heart of the new forest. Was perfect for a pre Christmas getaway with lovely fireplace and warm Arga in the kitchen. Ian and team were very accommodating and it was lovely to have our two cocker spaniels with us to enjoy long daily walks in the forest. Will definitely be back again

We had the most amazing time away as a family for Christmas. The place was perfect for our youngest member of the family under 1 years old, all the way to our grandparents. Everyone felt at home, with space to relax on their own and together. The walks around the estate were perfect for the mornings and the location was perfect for a short drive to the local towns and beaches. Thank you Emilie and all involved! One of our favourite Christmas' together.

James is a lovely person and his home is really magical and he gave us total privacy but was ready to help or advise on anything, it was a lovely experience and definitely going back the house is fantastic really special and huge I have never slept in such a huge house even the bathroom was lovely the house is really authentic and fabulous wild garden I loved the windows beautiful location really quiet

Enjoyed a memorable stay in Goretti’s peaceful and spacious home. The house is fully equipped and was extremely clean. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful garden and conservatory. Communication was seamless. Would definitely recommend this beautiful home. It was lovely to be greeted by the host with a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge.
