Lovely, Quiet Studio Annex (with Netflix)
As a seasoned AirBnB member this apartment was right up there with the best in terms of comfort, value, amenities (right down to a bottle of milk in the fridge) and ease of access. Perfect for a short break and the hosts should be proud of themselves for making such a great honesty. Thankyou. we will be back.

34 Monmouth Beach
34 Monmouth Beach is exceptional! Really well equipped and the space has been used thoughtfully! We go back regularly, perfectly placed for enjoying Lyme Regis. It provides the perfect ambience for relaxing, writing, reading with the beach and sea literally on your doorstep. The kitchen is well equipped, the pint of milk in the fridge and packet of biscuits are very welcoming and after a long journey, ideal to enjoy a much needed cup of tea or fresh coffee (both also provided). Thank you!!

Amazing private studio space
A beautiful little studio flat in a gorgeous location. After a busy day out it really felt like coming home and we could relax with ease. The layout upstairs is just perfect with space to sit at the dining table, or at the coffee table with a drink. The kitchenette had everything we needed for a simple supper and the bathroom was squeaky clean. Thank you Vicki, we really enjoyed our stay.

Rural Idyll for dog-lovers near the New Forest
Alison‘s place was perfect, it has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. The location is quiet and idyllic in a small village with lots of countryside walks from the door. There is a pub in the village and several not too far away if you need somewhere to eat. There is a Trout fishery in walking distance. Beds comfortable. The garden is perfect and enclosed for the dog to run around, and there is plenty of parking right outside the door of the cabin. Alison was an excellent unobtrusive host and left us initial provisions including eggs from her chickens and freshly cooked bread. What more could you ask for? We drove 25 minutes into the heart of the New Forest and hired bikes for the day. We’ll definitely be back!

The Countryside Loft in stunning rural Dorset
the loft was in a beautiful location with views across the valley. We were able to access many great walking locations nearby then return to comfortable accommodation. there is a roomy shower and plenty of places to hang outdoors boots and walking gear etc. Emma was helpful and accommodating

Peaceful garden annexe
We really enjoyed our stay here. Chloe is a great host and was really responsive to any questions we had, and also had some good local recommendations. The location is great, and has a lovely little shop and a great pub right by it. There are really nice countryside walks in the area, and it's also easy to get to Salisbury and all sorts of other places. The accommodation itself was really clean, comfortable, quiet and peaceful. We also got to meet the cat and one of the dogs! We would definitely stay again.

Traditional coach house in rural private estate.
What can I say, lovely property, lovely host! Amenities were more than adequate for a longer stay, and the host (Jeremy) and his family, have left us feeling well looked after and most of all made us feel very welcome! Thankyou for a lovely stay Jeremy!

Springfield
Nice little flat, perfect for weekend getaway. Host and people within in the area were nice!

Characterful 2-bedroom cozy cottage with garden
very nice place for our last minute trip. the host Laura is very responsive and really helpful. the cottage is lovely and the location is great (very peaceful, very close to shops and to crags). Also really love the tea selection!

Lucky Rabbit Retreat
Absolutely perfect stay!Everything you needed and more. Lucky rabbit retreat was spotlessly clean and the garden was so lovely and spacious and secure for my 6 month old granddaughter and dog Tigerlilly to play in. Karin was very thoughtful in what she left for us and very accommodating and friendly. We have stayed in lots of places in the new forest but this was by far the best and we cannot wait to come back again. Thank you Karin. Look forward to seeing you again!

Character Barn in the Heart of Beaminster
We only stayed for 3 night's as we were Attending a wedding nearby but it was a perfect little bolt hole. We felt right at home and had everything we could possibly want. Beaminster is a lovely little town only wish we'd had more time to explore.

The Getaway: Quaint Log Cabin on Jurassic Coast
Our second stay at Tom and Naomi’s cabin - such a lovely little place. Great location within easy reach of many good places to visit. Lovely walk into Wareham, bus stop just across the road as well as a very handy little shop, and The King’s Arms just up the road - a superb pub. All in all a great spot - we will be back.

Cosy lodge, parking, beautiful setting, Lyme Regis
Our family had a lovely weekend at Helen's place. It was beautifully located, clean and safe for the kids (4 year old and 10 month old). It's a short walk to Uplyme and a 5 min drive to Lyme Regis. We would definitelly come back for a longer break.

Stylish, Cosy, Countryside Annex + Patio/Parking
We loved staying at Little Townsend for New Year - Pamela and Zubair are the perfect hosts. The accommodation is clean, modern and cosy with everything you need. Location wise there’s lots to do in the local area - we visited Stourhead and Sherborne. Ate at a wonderful pub called The Old Inn about 5/10 mins drive away and also at the local pub The White Horse Inn which is walking distance. We could have easily stayed for longer and still not done everything we wanted to do! Will definitely revisit

Arne View Lodge, South facing with Hot tub.
Victoria and Steve’s place is just as described - clean, super cosy and the hot tub is fab. Great launch pad to explore Studland/Corke/the coastal area. Easy to get around - bus to Poole from pretty much outside the front door (Rockfish restaurant is great!) and if you don’t mind a 20/30 mins walk, there are a couple of nice pubs in walking distance. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Modern & Cosy Retreat - walk to beach, parking
Perfect little studio, very well catered for and immaculately clean. Although the studio is located next to a house it still felt private, with its own gate for access and a small outside patio area. Shelley was quick to respond to any questions and the instructions given for checking in were clear and easy to follow. Located in a very nice area with plenty to do within walking distance.

A spacious home from home in North Dorset
Great communication, have booked another visit!

Milkwell’s heavenly place
A wonderful studio to stay and enjoy the delightful countryside which is on your doorstep. I’d highly recommend staying at Poppy’s studio.

Delightful barn in scenic North Dorset
Andrew and Janine were lovely hosts. They left a very generous tray of welcome goodies from local sources which I was very grateful for and Andrew gave me some great recommendations for activities while we were there. It was a beautiful and peaceful stay and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Thank you

Country Cottage in heart of Somerset.
We loved this house! The house has a beautiful, calm aura. We slept very well. Fiona has decorated it with such style. She is very generous with the provision of essentials and all high quality products. We hope to return. In fact, I could live here!

Newly converted hilltop Chapel
We’ve just come back from a lovely long weekend staying in Gina’s beautiful converted chapel. The property is very tastefully designed and felt very much like a suite in a luxury country hotel. There are stunning walks and rolling countryside from the doorstep and Berwick St John is a very pretty little village. It was the perfect place for a relaxing weekend with our dog and truly felt like a home from home that we hope to return to again.

The Yorkshireman @ Piddlehinton
A great place to stay in a pretty little village within easy reach of Dorchester and the coast. A very comfortable double bed on the mezzanine level, and like all areas immaculate. Claire has put together an informative booklet for her guests with all the information needed for a relaxing stay.

Rural retreat in north Dorset with beautiful views
We had a great stay and would definitely book again! It was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the views and the air hockey table!

Spacious Stables Conversion
Damien’s place was the perfect place for a group of 7 of us to celebrate a hen do. We wanted somewhere a bit luxurious, peaceful and secluded so we wouldn’t disturb anyone. Damien’s place covered all bases! Check in was seamless, love the fact the key is secured inside the lockbox so you never have to take it out with you and risk losing it! Loads of nice touches around the house, lots of high tech that added to the luxury, but was easy to use. Clear instructions for everything on the iPad in the kitchen. Place was spotlessly clean. We hired a private chef to come in and cook for our group, he commented on how well the kitchen was stocked and what a beautiful space it was to cook in! Highly recommend this accommodation and would stay again!
