Farmstay holiday rentals in North Dorset District

The property was perfect, the pictures are lovely and they reflect the quality. The property once there is outstanding and very peaceful. It’s one of those hidden Gem AirBnBs, we loved the stay and will hopefully return.

Beautiful little cottage tucked away but close to the village. Garden was perfect for me and my dog. The steep hill up to the garden didn’t phase us as the view was worth it with open fields and horses behind. Vanessa and Bruce were very responsive and friendly, they kindly accepted my booking on short notice. I didn’t want to leave! Would happily stay again.

We stayed at Jo and Trevor’s place as a last minute booking for a wedding. Though we didn’t spend too much time there, it was a lovely, cosy self contained chalet in the old milking parlour - as described! It’s in a quiet rural village location with views across expansive farmland from the property and parking right outside. We had a great stay and if we were in the area for some countryside walking, we’d definitely stay again. Honourable mention has to go to the shower which, in rural settings can often underwhelm but not here - plenty of pressure and plenty of hot water!

We had a wonderful time in Woodpeckers Rest at the Brookside Farm. The very vision of verdant peace. It was a great launching pad for adventures all along the Jurassic Coast and throughout Dorset. Thanks to Charlotte for being so communicative and welcoming!

Lovely stay, everything you need right down to a pencil sharpener. Lovely lemon drizzle cake on arrival made us feel welcome. Would recommend 100% to anyone.

Lyn and David are the most wonderful hosts! David build the home from the ground up and it is very beautiful! We loved how homely it felt, comfortable beds, views that are out of this world and a really peaceful place to be! We can’t thank you both enough for allowing us to share your slice of Mendip Hills beauty!! Lyn left some homemade scones which were to die for! We have to revisit as we didn’t explore all the amazing walks and Wells in more detail , and would not think twice to stay again. PS there is a beautiful little shepherds hut nearby with the same amazing views also built by David (Lyn said because he was bored!) Hopefully David remains bored, we look forward to his next amazing space/s. We highly recommend you visit!

Sarah was the perfect host who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Cleeves House is a beautiful and peaceful barn with stunning views of the valley. It has been set up to meet all our needs during the stay with excellent amenities, big rooms, comfortable heating and tidy clean kitchen and bathroom. Just what we needed for a get away. We loved our stay.

Me, my husband and our dog had a great stay at Rosemary’s. The place is very quiet and private. My dog liked sniffing about and exploring the farm. First time for Max, my dog, to see lambs and chickens up close and personal so he had a great time sniffing about all the new scents and experiences for him. The bathroom and house is very clean. Also a good size. Will definitely come back next time! Highly recommend the place if you are looking for some quiet time in the farm.

very nice and cosy accomodation, in the middle of nowhere (what we wanted). well equipped. very relaxed stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Granary. Its a really beautiful area for walks and we really appreciated the private little garden for our dog. We would have loved to have been able to stay for longer.

We had amazing stay at Axe Valley View for a long birthday weekend in June. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay with beautiful valley views. We especially loved how wildlife and eco-friendly it was, both inside and out. A short drive to Lyme Regis where we attended the Fossil Festival 2025 and great local hiking routes, including Golden Cap in Bridport. Alison was a lovely and welcoming host and we would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful setting and a beautifully built log cabin. Peaceful and tranquil. Well worth the money and we will return in the future. Visitors need to visit the anchor inn in seatown for lovely food and drinks

Had an amazing two night stay here. Was very easy to find following the instructions provided. Beautiful location and no noise. Cabin was really cosy and looked exactly like the pictures. It was very clean and provides everything you need and more. Hosts were very pleasant and welcoming also providing a nice book of things to do in the area. Definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future for sure!

Lovely bolthole - beautiful barn with a wonderful view over nice garden and fields. Well equipped for two people and comfy with nice living space and TV. Kitchen had everything we needed (and we did lots of cooking) and good oven/hob/BBQ. The best thing for us was the tennis court - it's an artificial turf court in excellent condition - played very nicely and we used it every day! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We had a really relaxing few days. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We will certainly consider booking again next time we come to Dorset. Thank you.

We had the most incredible weekend staying at Clara’s gorgeous Carriage! Highly recommend a stay here, everything was more than perfect! Spotlessly clean, comfy and cosy! The outdoor bathtub was the most relaxing thing ever, even in the rain, watching the trees sway and listening to the birds sing. The views, the privacy, the animals, the pool and sauna, everything about our stay was fab! We would definitely love to book again! 😁

It was the perfect place for our young family and dog. Lots of space and peace and quietly whilst being close to the Jurassic Coast. Andrea was a fabulous host, very friendly and happy to help at all times. Highly recommend and we will be returning.

There are not enough words to do this property and Ava justice . It is truly stunning from its location to the laundered bedsheets , super equipped kitchen and so much more . We were made to feel so welcome . Ava and Chris really do go above and beyond . Our son Archie loved it and was encouraged by Ava to explore and see the cows . He really didn’t want to leave . Honestly we all wanted to stay . If you stay here , you will not be disappointed. We are looking for an excuse to come back

We had a wonderful time here. Lovely hosts, quality furnishings, appliances and linens. Welcome pack really appreciated (esp. the fizz). Quiet and peaceful surroundings, yet only 3 mins by car to Broadoak for shopping, another 5 to the beach/harbour at West Bay. Walks from the accommodation if that's your thing, loved it when Roger (the dog) visited morning and evening. Loved it, should have booked longer. Thank you for letting us stay here.

Highly recommended. This is our second visit. The apartment is very clean, well appointed and set in beautiful, well kept gardens. We enjoyed being able to walk our little dog in the private field/paddock at the rear of the property with lovely views of the surrounding fields and countryside. Well worth a visit and Steve is a very welcoming host.

Our stay at Rowena’s property was a perfect first getaway with our 2 month old and our dog. She was really responsive with our questions about the travel cot as well as giving us recommendations for local walks. The property is in a great location, a short walk to the centre of Lyndhurst for food and coffee. Also a great central location to get out and about in the new forest with the baby and the dog. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay at Godminster cottage was wonderful and I cannot fault the hosting by Belu. From the moment we booked he was friendly and easily contactable no was very accommodating to our various requests. The cottage itself is beautiful with a lovely walled garden and outside seating area. We will definitely be back to visit again!

Gemma's property is absolutely wonderful. It feels like you're staying in a real piece of history. The cottage has so much character, and the surrounding area is absolutely breathtaking. The cottage is well equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen to cook anything you may be interested in. The llamas as neighbours were a big hit with the kids in our party, and we particularly enjoyed being able to walk outside of the garden into the historic Church area. Plenty of outdoor and indoor space. We'd book again in a heartbeat, thank you Gemma for a wonderful stay.

Loved the barn, was exactly per the listing we had a great stay in a warm British June!
