Cottage vacation rentals in West Dorset District

Lorraine and Baz were lovely and gave us all the relevant information. They we’re flexible with check out times and all questions were answered quickly. The local pubs were lovely and we met regulars who gave us further information about walks which we went on that were lovely, definitely check out Avebury if you stay. The hot tub was a lovely touch! Thank you very much for everything xx

Lovely 4 night stay over Easter. The house is exactly as the photos show, beautifully decorated and clean. Hot tub was fab and a great place to watch the sunset from. Use of the property’s fields immediately behind and In front of the cottage, was an added bonus and a lovely area for the dog to roam safely and the children had a fabulous time rolling down the grassy slope. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a peaceful break from the world, with the darkest most starry skies, I have ever seen! Fab time. Thanks

A beautiful well appointed cottage, lovely and clean with comfortable beds. The hot tub in the well kept private garden was a bonus. Poppy was responsive to questions and queries and had left some lovely personal touches to make check nice and smooth. Bath is just a short drive and there are lots of local pubs for a lovely meal out. The surrounding area was quiet and beautiful. We would definitely go back.

This is such a beautiful place to stay, waking up to bird singing and siting in the garden watching the sunrise was amazing. The house is very homely, and comfortable. The hoist left clear and easy instructions to make life easier. Would stay here again.

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

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.

Lovely weekend with friends. Beautiful location and the hosts were happy to provide suggestions on where to go etc and were very responsive. The croissants, jams, coffees etc were a lovely addition to our first morning!!🌞 Sue and Robert were also flexible with us leaving the car in the space after check out for a bit so we could go for a walk and make the most of the weather!

A beautifully kept cottage with plenty to do within walking distance, friendly locals, and an unlimited amount of nature to explore. Ceri and Daniel are great hosts, and clearly care about their guests! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, would highly recommend.

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.

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.

This is my second stay and Bree was a great host.

This was my second time staying at Norton Court Farm and it was just as wonderful as the first. The cottage was cozy, spotlessly clean and appointed with many thoughtful amenities that make it feel like a home away from home. The kitchen was fully equipped making it easy to cook meals and the host was very welcoming and offered some lovely local recommendations. Thank you so much for hosting us! :)

We had such a great time at Caroline’s cottage, the location is stunning and the cottage felt immediately like home. Caroline has thought of everything and it’s the little touches which really made our stay, fresh local milk in the fridge, lovely soaps, shower gels etc. Extra rugs and a spare lead for our dog, and even a bat detector which our son really enjoyed. Overall a fab experience, we’ll definitely be coming back

Beautiful house and location. Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Beds were super comfy and clean. Cottage is well decorated. Perfect weekend break with the girls, would highly recommend.

A special house in the beautiful Dorset countryside, set in pretty rolling hills just 20 minutes from the stunning Jurassic Coast. We are regular visitors and come here to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and gorgeous walks. At this time of year the primroses were out everywhere, the bluebells just starting to appear, and the birdsong so magical at all times of the day. The house itself is charming, sitting on the Mapperton Estate at the edge of the main garden, and Luke and his team make sure it is always clean and welcoming. The beds are really comfortable with lovely bedlinen! I thoroughly recommend Garden Cottage!

This was our second stay at Hazel's and we loved it again! The cottage is so peaceful and furnished perfectly so you feel right at home. Hazel had left some treats for us on arrival, which was so kind and thoughtful. Our daughter loves the zip line so we were straight out flying through the woods! On this trip we even saw two deer which was particularly magical. We went exploring in Stockbridge, which was beautiful and had lunch at the Silver Plough - Hazel's recommendation - which was fabulous. We love coming back and unwinding. You feel a million miles away from everything and yet you're only 10 minutes from amenities. It's a special place to stay - and yes, we will be back again! Thank you for another wonderful trip!

We loved our stay! Beautiful cottage that was superbly clean, lovely location with plenty to do nearby (within 20mins or so drive, plus greatwalks and pubs on the doorstep). We bumped into the hosts a couple of times and they were really friendly. Normally as a family we like to stay in diffeent properties when we head away but we are already exploring dates to return here in the Summer.

A beautiful cottage, bath with a view and lovely hot tub in private garden. Provides everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Beautiful location, so peaceful. The barn with pool table and gym was a great addition. Responsive host too, a really lovely welcome when we arrived.

Wow! We had such a lovely stay. We just wanted to kick back for a few days and rest and this was perfect. Perfect cottage and perfect area. The cottage is immaculately kept and so well equipped with lovely little welcoming touches. Croissants were lovely, as were the Ferrero Rocher! Hosts were excellent. We had a short Wifi outage which made no difference to us but Ashley was quick to update us that they had a supplier issue and would be fixed asap. All in all, we had a lovely time, it felt like home from home. We relaxed, enjoyed the log burner and watched the birds! PERFECT! Thank You!

Really lovely place with stunning scenery. Very well appointed with all amenities. Loved seeing Deer outside our bedroom window. Great to have dogs so well catered for. Highly recommend - we really enjoyed our stay.

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 staying here. Just as described , a beautiful comfortable cottage. Had everything we needed. Lovely kitchen to cook in. Also a great pub round the corner if you don't fancy cooking. We had a wonderful stay and felt right at home in the lounge in the evening with the fire going. It was warm and the beds were great. Lots to do in the area. It's it's raining. Taunton isn't far for bowling , cinema etc. Lovely board games cafe in Ilminster too. Lots of great walks near by and seafront towns of Lyme etc are great. Parking was just round the corner but that wasn't a problem and the little paved garden felt private and secluded for a coffee etc. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we hope to be back again.

We can’t fault our stay at Jasmine Cottage - it was everything we could have hoped for & more! It was the perfect stay for our little family & we have already said we can’t wait to come again. The location was ideal, close by to many South Devon tourist spots, & it was great to get away from the hustle & bustle on a night in this cosy cottage. We honestly loved every second of it so thank you Tina for a fabulous holiday!
