Family-friendly vacation rentals in Westbourne

Great house for extended family holiday. Nice to have 2 seating areas and lots of useful internal doors. Pretty little garden down steps from the living room patio doors. Felt very homely & cosy from arrival . 5. & 10 year olds really enjoyed the play equipment (which was usefully by the parking area for when loading up to go out for the day). Pretty short walk from the door down to the river or up through the woods to Sandy Balls. Lovely longer walks in a 5 minute drive radius. We particularly enjoyed Woodgreen/Godshill enclosure and the walk to the Ashley Walk Illuminated Target. Food recommendations: The Potting Shed Hyde cafe (fantastic menu), High Corner Inn (reliably good and lovely surrounding walks) , Royal Oak at Fritham (ploughman’s lunches which cater for all dietary requirements), fantastic Indian takeaway from Masala in Ringwood which we collected, Hockeys Farm (lovely cafe and rescue pigs and other animals to entertain the children)

Our second visit here, and will likely come back. Astrid is a great host and the stables are a lovely little space to stay with beautiful surroundings and a great location within the New Forest.

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Farm Shop. It was in a lovely location - you could explore lots of beaches and also walk from the doorstep in to the countryside and to the sea. It was clean and tidy and had all the things you would need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a great extra! Susie and Sarah were super responsive and helpful. We had a really lovely time, thank you.

Our stay was fabulous! We had the best time and the lodge was stunning. Everything we asked for. Mark and Maria were wonderful hosts and very accommodating. We would be definitely staying here again.

Amazing place! Perfect location for a family holiday. The house has absolutely everything you need and more. We really enjoyed sea kayaking and paddle boarding with all Daves's kit. The sea is so close you can carry everything down to the shore. We really loved the hot tub and sauna and bbq area. The games room was a great space for the kids to hang out and play as well as the adults. We couldn't have wanted more. We'd wholeheartedly recommend this amazing house.

Definitely recommend Sam’s beautiful house. Immaculately kept garden with hot tub and huge trampoline which kept the children busy. All rooms with clean and had everything that we needed. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms were clean and showers etc all in good order. Thank you!

Such a beautiful log cabin immaculate so warm and cosy with all the amenities u could want and need for a fabulous stay thank you

very friendly, replied v quickly to a couple of pre booking queries, hot tub brilliant...

What a lovely surprise for we history buffs to find ourselves in an historic church and graveyard. Once inside, delighted at the little touches on theme, eg welcome goodies greatly appreciated. On our long trip, the most comfortable beds and pillows yet. Also compared to many AirBNBs, Gordon’s place had good kitchen facilities eg plenty of cups, plates and cutlery etc.

Great location close to the centre of town but peaceful and easy parking. Super comfortable beds and an excellent shower.

Lovely little cottage with a secure garden. The village has a fantastic little shop for everything you need and a very friendly village pub with great food.

We had a brilliant stay at the Pink House! The house itself was beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting - we felt really at home here. Deborah was very friendly and responsive in her communication and sent us lots of local recommendations of things to do and places to visit. The garden was really private and we loved the built in BBQ and home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and the welcome basket that we're waiting for us when we arrived. The Pink House is in a great location with walks right from the front door and only 15-30 mins drive to the various beaches. We had a wonderful stay and wished we booked for longer - we'll definitely be back again!

Had a lovely time with our 4 month old and wanted somewhere outside of Bournemouth where it’s more peaceful and this didn’t disappoint. The apartment was spotless and everything was to a very high standard, including all provisions you’d need plus more… Jonathan has literally thought of everything and gone the extra mile to make it a home from home. Would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Absolute Perfection. We have been fortunate to stay at some great Airbnb’s over the past 10 years but this has to be the best! Maria was a fantastic host. She was always friendly and quick to reply to queries, she gave a us loads of helpful information as well as tips of places to visit and go for food. She greeted us at the cottage and gave us the warmest welcome and even baked us a cake! There were other welcoming gifts too including an activity pack and chocolate buttons for our daughter, a bottle of wine, milk, sourdough & local jam. All were lovely. The cottage itself is beautiful, full of character and charm, it felt cosy whilst spacious enough at the same time. It was spotlessly clean and contained everything we could need for our stay. Beds were large and very comfortable. The outdoor space is incredible! There is off road parking for atleast 2 cars, a large fully enclosed front garden, decking with lovely seating area over looking the rear wonderful rear garden.

Great place to stay in the new Forest. Easy access to everything. Great biking, pubs near by and a great accommodation ticking all the boxes. Would definitely recommend. Very welcoming hosts. Friendly and accommodating with some great local knowledge and places to go if needed

Lovely spacious apartment with great views. Close to town and amenities. Easily walkable though up a steep hill from town. Great directions and instructions made the place easy to find Would definitely recommend.

We stayed here for my husband’s birthday as a family of two adults, three children, our small dog and my mother in law. It was a lovely clean spacious caravan with an amazing view. We had gorgeous weather which really was the icing on the cake. When we arrived it was easy to find and there were biscuits and cakes left for us by Caroline. We also went to Haven reception and they gave us free entertainment passes which meant we could visit the entertainment in the evenings with the children. We’d definitely love to stay again! Ashleigh

Great location for a family break. Entertainment passes included. Kids will love the robots delivering food in the restaurant. Didnt try out the pool this time but looked great. Loved how close we were to the beach beautiful day and night, with stunning sunsets. Also enjoyed a walk around the nature reserve. Great base for getting out on our bikes. We absolutely love the new forest and this was a great base for a short stay. We'd happily stay for longer.

The views from Seascape are wonderful and added greatly to our holiday. From sunny breakfast on the deck to cosy evenings watching the sun set we found everything we needed and we felt at home straight away. The lodge was immaculate and Judith dealt quickly with the only issue we had when the oven had a fault, so our holiday was not impacted greatly. It's a 15 minute walk into Swanage with an uphill return or free 2 hrs parking next to the Co op if you spend £10 there. Altogether a perfect place to enjoy Swanage and explore the Isle of Purbeck.

We booked Lavender House for an early family Xmas get together and the place was lovely. Very clean, ample space, full stocked kitchen to easily cater for 13 people. The hot tub and film room was a great addition. Communication stopped once it was all booked up but after a call to shorefield country park next door they answered all questions and sorted anything we needed. We used the facilities on site too for pool and kiddies arcade. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would love to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space.

We had a blissful few days at Flint cottage. Wonderful kitchen to cook in, and multiple fabulous farm shops nearby. We ordered a heat and eat pie and a DIY breakfast pack for our first night, which made the start of the holiday so much more chilled out. The outdoor bath was also really special. We were so comfortable throughout we just relaxed completely. Can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic hosts very accommoding when I cha ged my plans. The bed was made up which was lovely surprise as I'd rented bed linens. The view from the lovely decking area is outstanding snd so peaceful and relaxing. The caravan was very comfortable and well eqipped. We would highly recommend staying there.

we had a lovely stay in Kath's caravan after being recommended by friends. The caravan was lovely and clean and as described/shown in pics, great location and lots to do for the family. we hope to return again one day to explore more of the area

Highly recommended! Clare is a fantastic host who made us feel very welcome. She went above and beyond in accommodating for us and offered local recommendations. The space is in a perfect location, approx 4min walk to beach, which made it fantastic for early morning strolls. The space was as described (though it DOES have hot water) and spacious for two people. You can easily be self-sufficient with the amenities e.g in the kitchen. Thank you for letting us stay and we will return in the future :-)
