Family-friendly vacation rentals in Weymouth and Portland District

Me and my partner have just finished our stay with alpine grove and would highly recommend visiting. We stayed in the woodpecker lodge and from the log burner to the hot tub everything about this lodge was perfect, Kieth and Serena service is amazing and we can’t wait to visit again soon. Thank you again for such an amazing stay.

We had a lovely 2 night stay at the hut. Fiona was a really great host who came out to us even though it was late and raining! The hut was super warm on arrival and it has an internal heater and towel rail which is nice. It was also nice to be welcomed with some baked goods which we enjoyed the next morning. The bed was super comfy and we slept really well. The hot tub was nice to relax in… you get all the stuff provided for it which is good and on previous experiences this isn’t always the case. We used the Fire pit and you get some cushions to use which are under the bed and extra blankets which again is really nice. It’s exceptionally well thought out and the lord of added extras make it really nice. Would deffo return

Just come back from Mistletoe Farm after celebrating a Hen weekend there. We all could not fault the hosts, they were incredible & always checking if we needed anything, so helpful throughout the whole stay. Mistletoe Farm is beautiful & so peaceful. Plenty to do within the property. We all especially loved the pool/hot tub & also the karaoke machine was a big hit. It really is the perfect place either for celebrating a special occasion or a family weekend. We all enjoyed our stay & said it is a place we would love to go back to. Thank you again to the amazing hosts. Would highly recommend this air b&b 😊

What an utterly beautiful place to stay with friends. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay than what we had at Frogmore House. Rosemary was such a great host and made sure our stay was perfect. Loads of little touches that made us feel right at home. There was everything you needed from coal to dishwasher tablets and even some fizz in the fridge!! Such a memorable weekend! Thank you again Rosemary, your house is wonderful. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others 🌟

We chose a long weekend the week before Easter. The house and the location matched our expectations and needs. Allan’s meet and greet on arrival was a warm welcome and informative. Brook House is a lovely home and we had a great stay. The spacious kitchen, bedrooms downstairs, wood burner and hot tub are real highlights. We enjoyed a BBQ and a Sunday Roast during our stay. The outdoor patio lights work very well to enjoy the garden in the evenings. The house is wonderfully located to explore the south coast and nearby attractions. We enjoyed a walk to the local club for drinks and live music. (Only available Fridays) on the first evening. We did a day trip to Brownsea Island which was fun. Moors Valley Country Park and Forest nearby offers a lot of options for a family Sunday outing. Our only fault was not staying a few more days!

My partner and I had a gorgeous stay at the shepherds hut - it’s super cosy and in a beautiful spot! The hot tub was so lovely with wonderful views and the hosts have still managed to keep the area private. It was also wonderful to see all the lambs and ducks come to visit us each day! Tracy and James were fab hosts and we would definitely come back in the future!

A lovely place to stay, in walking distance of the beach and Weymouth centre. Hot tub and other facilities were very good and the place was clean, stylishly furnished and comfortable. Host was responsive when we had an issue (many thanks to Lorraine the cleaner too who was lovely and very helpful!)

We had an amazing stay for my sister's hen do. The Pictureworks was the perfect venue - big enough for a large group, plenty of bathrooms, good kitchen. Having the spa right there was brilliant, everyone really enjoyed making the most of all the facilities. Gill and George were also really communicative and helpful both before and throughout. I'd highly recommend to anyone considering a stay.

We had a lovely Easter Weekend, with the house ticking all the boxes! It is fully equipped with everything you need and the best distance we’ve ever had to the local pub!! It was about a 25 minute drive to Lyme Regis and a great location for exploring the area! Alison’s communication was extremely quick throughout our stay and the check in was really clear and simple. Would definitely recommend a stay here ☺️

Perfect holiday accommodation & location. Warm, friendly and extremely thoughtful hosts. Spotlessly clean and extremely well-appointed cottage, with lovely welcome treats for us and our dog. Very peaceful, rural location with lovely animals & games room on site for children and easy access to the Dorset coast. Literally the best cottage we’ve stayed in.

Another great stay at Blue Horizons, great central location, clean apartment and easy to park up in Charmouth Road car park and walk down.

A lovely little holiday home that has a fantastic location to a variety of local amenities and attractions. With Lyme Regis and Charmouth only 15/20 minutes away it was positioned perfectly to get to the different beaches. The Annexe was as described and has been cleverly designed to maximise sleeping arrangements whilst offering both a bath and shower! Parking was situated just outside the Annexe and close to the working farm where the geese would often be seen. We were able to take advantage of the farms produce and enjoyed a BBQ on the terrace one evening!

Rowan Barn's open plan design worked very well as a welcoming space for three adults. It is set in beautiful countryside and in an excellent location for exploring this part of the Dorset coast. The cottage had everything we needed, including good access and easy parking. We have stayed in several different cottages in the area. This is the one we hope to return to. Thank you, Debra.

Great stay in a beautifully restored old building with big comfy beds. 5 minutes walk from the beach and a pub serving delicious food (worth booking ahead). Very friendly volunteers at the nearby DD centre/war museum, well worth a visit to see the history of the Isle of Portland and fun for the children, they get to climb inside a tank!

Slight concern about parking but easy to unload by front door. Then spaces to park on Durlston Road and in evening there were spaces by front door :-)) moved cars down did not need to move them again so easy departure.

Eddie and family gave us a beautiful and peaceful retreat to return to every night after our days of adventure. Close to all amenities, but secluded enough that you can retreat from the hustle and bustle of the everyday should you need to. If you want to wake in the morning to fantastic vistas, the crystal sound of a the dawn chorus and an abundance of fresh breathable air, then Eddie and the family are more than happy to allow you into there little piece of heaven. The pavilion has all that one needs for a more than comfortable and peaceful stay. One of the best holidays A big thank you to Eddie and family for a warm welcome, a real home from home🙏

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at the condo! From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded my expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was perfect — close to everything yet peaceful and quiet, offering the ideal retreat after a day of exploring. Communication with the host was seamless; they were incredibly responsive, kind, and made me feel truly welcome. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this condo to anyone looking for a perfect getaway. I can’t wait to return! thank you once again.

What a diamond of a place you have here Judith! On top of holiday park overlooking the most stunning view of Swanage bay and surrounding countryside, almost 360 degrees!! The interior is very tastefully decorated and so comfortable. The beds were dressed with hotel quality, pure white cotton which gave an extra luxury feeling. Lots of table top games for all ages which would have been useful on rainy days but we were so lucky to have had brilliant sunshine throughout our stay! Just minutes drive from everywhere. Got to do the steami railway experience from Swanage. Kimmeridge fossil museum to see the largest ever intact fossil ever excavated! Favourite pub with outdoor views in Worth Matravers, The Square and Compass. Home made ciders, good beers and fab sausage rolls! Favourite fish restaurant, The Pier Head in Swanage. All in all, a fantastic place to stay and thanks to Judith a wonderful 5 star experience!

This is our second time staying in this lovely caravan. It’s always pristine and lovely. I always felt like a home away from home there. The bedrooms are a good size and the extra full bathroom is a definite plus! I’d highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful property in a lovely scenic country setting, but being only a few minutes drive from the beach. Great indoor pool and a lovely garden. Property a lovely mix of old world country cottage, but with all the mod cons needed for everyday life. Everyone loved the holiday, from young to old and enjoyed watching tv together with a real fire on chilly evenings. Loved Uplyme and Lyme Regis.

We chose Jo's place as it was close to Charmouth (11 mins) and Lyme Regis (14 mins by car). Our 6 year old son wanted to go fossil hunting. We arrived at Jo's cottage and she was there to greet us. She is very friendly and welcoming as well as her lovely dog Ruby. Jo also provided us with a travel cot and a changing mat for our 3 month old baby boy too, which was helpful. Jo provided us with a wheel barrow to carry our belongings to the Duck House as it was a little walk round the cottage. It's cosy and had all we needed. Our son liked the children's room he slept in and enjoyed the toys/games provided. My partner and my son did go in the swimming pool, however it was cold for our baby to go into. Jo did provide some bread, home made marmalade (that was lovely), butter, jam and milk. There was no hot water when we woke but when we contacted Jo she was straight on it and sorted it before we went out for the day. We enjoyed our stay - Thank you Jo.

Another amazing time spent with family and friends in such a beautiful location. It feels like home and right now with a bad back, and not much walking possible, this is such a lovely place just to sit and watch the view change.

Fantastic stay, the house was immaculate and the surroundings are stunning. The view of the lake was breath taking and the facilities were great. We used the gym, tennis courts, swimming pool and had a nice coffee in the cafe. We said we would all definitely stay again. Thank you, Rick

This was our second visit and we absolutely loved it. Wonderful location, brilliant pool and gardens, and Fiona is very helpful and communicative host. Thank you for our stay :)
