Lovely, Quiet Studio Annex (with Netflix)

AnnaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

ElleanorRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Simply incredible property! The location could not be more perfect. I booked as it’s my husband and son’s dream sort of place, a little apprehensive about having little space myself, but there was an abundance of space! It’s so cleverly designed and it didn’t 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 can’t 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

ChrisRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a fantastic time staying at James and Emma’s. 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 wouldn’t have otherwise known about. We would love to stay again if we were ever back in the area.

Devon Cliffs Exmouth 6 berth static holiday home

LouiseRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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.

Cosy lodge, parking, beautiful setting, Lyme Regis

JaneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Helen’s 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 you’re 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.

Unique Private Cabin in Purbeck Dorset Countryside

PatriciaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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

StaceyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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 that’s 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!

Modern Garden Room under 5 min walk to beach

DawnRating, 5 stars1 week ago
It was really lovely to be greeted in person! We use a lot of Airbnb’s and, although there are advantages to arriving and letting yourself in, when you are walking round the side of someone else’s home, it feels like you’re 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 wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you for a lovely stay. P.S. bring an alarm clock - the bed is so comfy you won’t want to get up! šŸ˜€

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!

Beautiful studio with direct access to New Forest

SuzanneRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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 🄰 Weather was pretty poor, would have been lovely to do a little Barbecue on the portable barbecue left,maybe next time 😊
