Chalet holiday rentals in Purbeck District

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!

I stayed at Shepherd Oak from February to March during my 6 week placement as a student at the hospital in Dorchester and loved having such a lovely, quiet place to retreat to in the evenings after busy weekdays. The cottage and its surroundings were very clean and tidy and its location is beautiful and very peaceful. The town of Upwey in general is also lovely and I spent my weekends discovering the walks around the area and frequenting the most gorgeous tearoom I've ever been in (the Wishing Well tearoom just down the road!) so for me the cottage couldn't have been in a more perfect location! The host and co-host, Helen and Gemma, were very friendly and communicative throughout my stay and overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Shepherd Oak and would wholly recommend to anyone. Thanks Helen and Gemma for a wonderful stay!

We had a superb 4 night stay at The Victorian Barns, staying in the lovely Lodge. The property was set in beautiful private grounds with its own larger indoor heated swimming pool, huge activity barn (complete with table tennis and badminton court) and plenty of land and lakes to walk our two Springer Spaniels around! Our host Claire gave us lots of information before our stay and also answered any questions that we had during our time there. Their on site EV charger was a god send allowed us to to-up our car at the end of the day after trips out. All in all we loved our stay and we hope to visit again soon!

The place was perfect for three of us and our dog. Located right in the town centre and short walk to two great beaches. You park in the driveway right next to the chalet which is a major bonus in Portland.

Kirsty and Gary’s caravan was lovely. Very cosy and clean, loved the patio! The duvet covers were super soft and comfy as well. The park is not even a 5 minute walk from Bowleaze Cove, and you can get into town in about 30 minutes walking, or 15 minutes by car. Guest passes are included so you can use the on site club which is lovely. The hosts were very professional and friendly, and responded quickly whenever necessary! Definite recommend and will stay again if we have the opportunity!

We loved our stay here. Will be back in the summer for sure. Thank you

This lodge was just perfect for a relaxing week away, which was just what we needed. It was immaculately clean, well set out and well equipped. We loved the fact that our children and dog could explore and play freely and safely, and the lodge was well fenced and very dog friendly. We would definitely recommend, and would love to visit again ourselves.

Kevin's place is a very cool, alternative place to stay. Off grid and super chilled. I would stay there again.

Our stay at Hordle was brilliant. The house and garden were lovely - luxurious and clean. The decor and furniture and bathrooms were of a high quality. Our main entertainment areas were the garden which was a sun trap and the amazing kitchen diner. Loved the cup cakes and little extras like soap, toilet rolls, salt pepper, cleaning cloths and dishwasher tablets. There was a large fridge freezer and little wine cooler but an extra drinks fridge would have been welcome maybe in the utility area. Apart from that small suggestion it really was a wonderful place to stay with 10 of us for the weekend to celebrate a birthday with plenty of space and short drive to Lymington for a change of scenery. Make sure you get a chef in for one night - really special treat. Thanks Christine for being a great host

Olya was very friendly and helpful both before and during our stay. The house and garden is beautiful, very peaceful and an amazing layout for a group stay :) We were given a lot of local recommendations and I will definitely return

Great place, great location, perfect for a big group

Beautiful location well connected to some stunning parts of the Dorset county including Lulworth Cove and the Jurassic Coast. The chalet was really well equipped and the kids loved it especially and are keen to go back. It definitely felt like a home from home. Stephen was great at communicating too.

Joe was a great host and provided all information requested. Arrival was straightforward plenty of space. House was clean and welcoming. Photos need updating as property has been extended further. Shepherd hut in Garden was a great addition however it is cited at the bottom of a steep incline. The hot tub was a great addition and used well journey to the beach was about 15 minutes and parking was difficult but manageable. Shops et cetera were a short drive from the house. There were not many places to eat locally but plenty of takeaways if you needed them. A very enjoyable week in a lovely area about 30 minute drive to New Forest. Definitely worth considering.

The chalet is so spacious and stocked with everything you need. The location was perfect to visit lulworth cove and durdle door. Stephen was responsive, via messaging, and although we didn’t get to meet him, we checked in via the reception desk with no trouble at all, friendly staff. There was 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children. The fact 3 of the rooms were en suite and a main bathroom was so handy, plus how big the chalet was you don’t feel on top of each other at all! We stayed only 2 nights due to no other availability, but would 100% stay again.

Great stay as always thank you

Fantastic location, very peaceful. Lovely setup within the lodge and great additional feature with the private sauna. All round very good and everyone was excited to stay over.

Last minute booking due to another host cancelling. Reg was brilliant and accommodation was beautiful! Would stay again xx

Nice quiet hottub get away! Right on a lake fishing isnt the greatest but trout can be caught on the stream!

The cabin at Hunters Lodge was an ideal place for a romantic weekend. The cabin was spacious and well appointed with all kitchen amenities available. Upon arrival we only had to go to the cabin, the key was inside, so check in couldn't be easier. The lakeside surroundings were even more beautiful than it appeared the photos. The staff helpfully furnished us with extra towels after we took full advantage of the hot tub. An idyllic stay, would highly recommend!

Detailed but simple instructions provided for self check in. Easy to find and a lovely peaceful location. The four poster bed was very comfy and the hot tub was lush on a drizzly evening. Loads of attractions nearby and nice to return to the peaceful cabin.

awsome place very clean . hot tube spotless . deffo return

Great vibes, lovely stay, would go again.

We will be back!!! Great stay! Thank you ☺️

We celebrated first anniversary and I paid extra for a decoration, but honestly they made much more then I expected. We would love to go back. Everything was so clean, the house was warm, hot tub was on and ready for us. I recommend that beautiful peaceful place 100%. Don’t think twice is worth every penny we paid! We didn’t wanna leave! 10/10!
