Lovely, Quiet Studio Annex (with Netflix)
The annex is clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped. Nice area, really peaceful. Sliding patio doors overlook the garden, with lots of trees and bird song. Very little other sound which is amazing for somewhere so close to Dorchester. Clear instructions for everything, lots of parking and the hosts are friendly and helpful.

Self catering studio flat on beautiful Devon farm
Booked fairly late but were so pleased we did. Perfect location for what we were doing and so close to lovely beaches in the area. Property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

34 Monmouth Beach
Simply incredible property! The location could not be more perfect. I booked as itās my husband and sonās dream sort of place, a little apprehensive about having little space myself, but there was an abundance of space! Itās so cleverly designed and it didnāt feel cramped at all, and watching the stars through the skylight on the mezzanine with the ocean sounds was just idyllic. Lovely little touches like tea/coffee/sugar and biscuits, and even in early Spring we only needed to pop the heater on for an hour or so in the night. Simply perfect and I canāt recommend it more (although I want to be able to return already)! Wonderful location for visiting the Ammonite Pavement and very easily walkable to the seafront with restaurants/shops etc (even with a toddler). Thank you Sarah and co-hosts :)

The Countryside Loft in stunning rural Dorset
We had a fantastic time staying at James and Emmaās. Whilst the location is tucked away off the normal path, their clear instructions made it easy to find. Their restaurant recommendations were also great and meant we found some real gems that we wouldnāt have otherwise known about. We would love to stay again if we were ever back in the area.

Garden Room
The most lovely host, and perfect stay. Forever grateful and would recommend 100x over.

The Chalet at Primrose Hill BH19 3EE
Fantastic little place to stay, central to an amazing area with loads to do. Home was exactly as described and clean and clutter free with essentials provided. Barbara was friendly and provided local recommendations within the guidance. Would stay again.

Devon Cliffs Exmouth 6 berth static holiday home
We had such a lovely time at Sunset View. After a little blip getting started (which was very quickly resolved), we quickly settled in and felt right at home in Emily's comfortable and well thought out caravan. Devon Cliffs is a huge site but the van is in a great position in a quiet cul de sac so you're not 'on top' of other people. Only a 5 minute walk to the leisure area and shop and we had a lovely sea view when the sun came out! We really loved it and will definitely be back.

The Studio B&B Luxury Garden Room
Lovely place, everything you need for a good value stay. Host was super helpful and recommended us a couple of places to go which was super helpful. Perfect for us as a place to stay on our road trip

The Bear Loft Plus - Includes Hot Tub & Games Room
Clear instructions, lovely and clean, had a great time, we will definitely be returning in the future, thanks š

Charming 2 bed self-contained cottage with Patio
We had a lovely stay at Susanās place , it was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The location is peaceful and perfect for exploring the beautiful Devon countryside. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet getaway!

Cosy lodge, parking, beautiful setting, Lyme Regis
Helenās place was perfect for myself and my daughter as a base to explore the area. I liked that you could either take a very short drive to access the Lyme Regis sea front or if youāre a walker like we are you can take a nice walk along the Lim River down to the sea front. Coming back (uphill) it took us 50 minutes. The property was very clean, tidy and well organised. We did have a little noise from some night visitors - local wildlife coming under the lodge but on reporting this to Helen she took swift action and secured the area they were gaining access. We had a lovely stay and I would have no reservation in recommending or staying there again myself.

Castle Hill Cottage
It's in an amazing location, and the cottage is full of character. Benjamin was very responsive. We loved our stay, and my daughter's highlight was meeting Benjamin's ponies.

Full use: hot tub/sauna/bbq/firepit/Netflix/Prime
Perfect place for a relaxing weekend. Beautiful garden with fire pit and hot tub. Amazing pub across the road. Close to the Jurassic coast for nice long walks š Would highly recommend to everyone!

Secluded, rural bolthole with tennis court
great place to stayā¦. spotlessly clean and very comfortableā¦. we will be back!

Modern & Cosy Retreat - walk to beach, parking
This place is amazing, quiet peaceful but within 5 mins walk of the river and 10 mins easy walk to the Beach, great host with extra added touches that were so appreciated and made you feel so welcome, facilities were amazing and it's a great place for Exploring Christchurch, Mudeford, Southbourne and Hentisbury would recommend Shelley for anyone looking for place to stay in Dorset.

Unique Private Cabin in Purbeck Dorset Countryside
The cabin was exactly what we wanted. We had a busy weekend planned, so just needed somewhere to rest, and Charlotte's place did it beautifully. The weather was amazing so we were able to sit outside and enjoy the peace and quiet, with wonderful views across the countryside. The two local pubs and village store were all within a few minutes walk from the cabin, and everyone was very friendly. We would highly recommend this Airbnb

Beautiful rural retreat, outskirts of Swanage
Absolutely faultless sums up our stay! We booked this as a Mini-Moon holiday after getting married and heading straight down to the coast for our stay. As soon as we arrived we were greeted lovingly by the hosts including Zephyr the Deer Hound who welcomed us into their lovely corner of the world and congratulated us on our marriage. We were then left to our own devices to access the gorgeous property a stones throw away from the main house. The inside is a spacious open plan living room with kitchen thatās beautifully decorated with all the comforts of home you need for a long stay. The bathroom is perfect with a walk-in shower that has good water pressure as well as stays hot, amenities such as shampoo/conditioner provided. The upstairs is very quaint with a lovely futon style bed. This is the perfect bolt hole for a long weekend or couples retreat by the coast. Secluded but easy access to Swanage. Will definitely be staying again! A true pleasure!

The Yorkshireman @ Piddlehinton
Another fabulous stay at the Yorkshireman. Claire was the perfect host again - there but not there! We rarely, if ever, go anywhere twice but would visit again. Just love everything about the Yorkshireman and surrounding area. Hope to be back again sometime ā¤ļø

Modern Garden Room under 5 min walk to beach
It was really lovely to be greeted in person! We use a lot of Airbnbās and, although there are advantages to arriving and letting yourself in, when you are walking round the side of someone elseās home, it feels like youāre intruding so I like being met at the door by the hosts. The Garden Room is as described. It is spacious, clean, private and has everything you need for a few nights away. There is plenty to do in the area including beautiful walks, beaches, tea rooms, crazy golf and plenty of good restaurants. It was a superb base and we wouldnāt hesitate to book again. Thank you for a lovely stay. P.S. bring an alarm clock - the bed is so comfy you wonāt want to get up! š

Lovely annex - a home away from home
Very happy with the stay, beautiful garden. In the end place might have been a bit small for our family of four, but overall everything was good.

The Lazy Lodge
We had a great stay at Maria and Marks - thank you! The cabin was homely and comfortable and we all enjoyed the hot tub! The location is fantastic and we appreciated the recommendations Maria provided! Visiting Moors Valley and getting the ferry over the Mudeford Spit / Sandbank for the beautiful beaches were our highlights!

Gerties House
Lovely stay with happy and welcoming hosts. One sweet and cuddly cat outside when sat on sun loungers. Ten minutes walk to the Tor. 30 minute walk to town, perfect. Tidy self contained flat with easy to use cooking and domestic facilities.

New 1 bed stable conversion in Dalwood, East Devon
Excellent stay! We had a wedding at Deer Park and the Airbnb was excellently located for that. Very clean and homely. Under floor bathroom heating was perfect! Thank you!

Beautiful studio with direct access to New Forest
Lovely stay at the studio so peaceful and lovely to watch the horses walking around right outside your gate. Beautiful view from the bedroom window to wake up to and the birds eating from the feeding and giving a little knock on your window in the morning š„° Weather was pretty poor, would have been lovely to do a little Barbecue on the portable barbecue left,maybe next time š
