Hotel vacation rentals in West Dorset District

The Old Rectory is in a beautiful location, surrounded by lush fields and nature. It’s a perfect place to stay for rambling holidays or just to relax. This original Victorian building was great to explore its grand interior. Caroline was a lovely host and was very welcoming throughout our stay. There was also a lovely dog called Sam that greeted us on arrival! Every morning a cooked breakfast was served at your requested time with fresh tea and coffee. The spread of granola and other cereals was a great addition. Just to note (from staying in the green room) the bathroom and toilet facilities are not attached to the room- instead you leave your room and walk down a hall to them but you are in your own private wing of the house.

Great stay, comfortable and reasonably near from city centre.

Great place to stay!!! I would highly recommend!

We were pleasantly greeted at reception and even had help carrying the bags up 4 flights of stairs, it was hard climbing up and down for the children so a lift would have been easier but the view was worth it. The breakfast was good and a wide variety of options. The staff were friendly and approachable. I would stay here again.

Lovely little place. Room was spotless and bed was sooooo comfortable. Delicious breakfast and attentive host.

Great value - very clean, and great amenities. Very quiet which was unexpected as it was full up for a festival in the town. Breakfast eas even provided free of charge. Will definitely come back.

Clean and modern hotel with very helpful staff, would definitely stay again

Debbie and her family were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Beautiful setting in the countryside with farmland all around, and the very best pub just a stroll down the lane. Lovely room with a great view. We would have loved to have stayed longer.

Wow. What an amazing host. Ahmed couldn’t have been more helpful to me and my friend instantly made us feel welcome was kind and funny. He went above and beyond for us. I will absolutely be back to stay again. Everything was as described easy check In he even let us have a late Check out wich was fanstatsic. Thank you so much x

Brilliant few days away, great place to stay would definitely stay here again

We came to Torquay to celebrate my birthday and had booked a stay at the Redcliffe Hotel, however once we got there we found there was no outdoor pool and that was the only reason we drove there. We got a refund and we had to find somewhere to stay quickly as it was already late afteroon; we found Debbie's guest house and immediately fell in love with it. I messaged Debbie to confirm we could go as it was so late and she replied immediately. When we got there we were greeted by Ian, who made us feel welcome and at home. He showed us around and was so friendly and chatty. We had a lovely stay, the room was so spacious, even had a mini fridge and the pool was amazing, just what I wanted! Both Debbie and Ian were always available and ready to give recommendations for attractions and food. Ian entertained us with some of his life stories and cooked us an incredible breakfast. I am grateful we found this guest house last minute, it made my birthday so special and we'd definitely go back!

Welcoming and helpful, our stay was amazing and would definitely stay again. Great location too!

Great location, facilities and host. Room was better than expected and very pleasant to stay. Would recommend and stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay and was a great location. Used both pools but mainly the indoor pool, due to outside being cold from weather. Loved the indoor pool, had it to ourselves for most of it. Lovely spacious room, very clean. Hoping to come again another year.

Such lovely people who work there really enjoyed the stay the area around it was lush and the hotel itself was so beautiful definitely recommend staying there especially with there lovely pool and hot tub !!

Really great place to stay, hosts were very welcoming and helpful, definitely recommended and would stay again

Really enjoyed the stay at 'The Ferns', it was comfortable, quiet and there were plenty of owls around! Would definitely recommend

This place was perfect for the two nights I stayed. I was able to relax and recharge as well as explore the coastal paths. Man sands was a favourite of mine; with the nature reserve. I trekked further to Colton Fishacre and Kingswear. It was great to have a cosy base to come back to. Lesley was so welcoming and very helpful when I had questions. She also provided extras like cereal and bread for breakfast which was a bonus. I loved waking up to hear the dawn chorus and sitting outside with a cuppa; at the outdoor table; surrounded by the colourful potted plants and trees. It was very tranquil. The decor of room was just up my street being nature themed and it a quirky, vibe too. The bed was very comfortable and the shower felt luxurious! I didn't want to leave. I'd definitely stay again! ☺️

Strongly recommend staying here! Really comfortable bed and lovely bathroom too. Right next to great places to eat!

Lovely, clean room. Check in was easy and location was great. Thank you for having us!

great place

Peaceful, clean and luxurious. The perfect balance of modern luxury and traditional building, warm friendly staff and great atmosphere. Tastefully renovated bathroom and nicely furnished.

Thanks for a cosy stay!
