Cottage holiday rentals in Sherborne

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Iveta was a fantastic host and everyone we met at Timbercombe was incredibly friendly. The lodge is super cosy and perfect in every way. All of our expectations were exceeded! Amazing hot tub, squeaky clean accommodation and mega comfy. We walked miles with our dog every day, leaving completely refreshed. Thanks so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. The place is exactly as described, a very cosy little cottage with everything you need. Everywhere was clean and tidy apart from general dust you’d expected, with a lovely little basket of treats left for us on arrival. Check in was self done, flexible, and smooth, same with leaving. Lovely little village, a couple of local pubs within walking distance, lovely cafe just next door along with some very friendly ducks, chickens, lambs, goats and the occasional cat. Would absolutely stay here again and 100% recommend if you’re looking for a cosy and quiet get away. During our stay we explored Cheddar, Glastonbury and Frome, all within an hours drive and lots of lovely cafes and independent shops.

Amy's cottage is an amazing find if you're looking for a Somerset getaway. The place itself is beautiful and perfectly kitted out - especially if you have kids, with crockery, cutlery, a high chair and not to mention the wonderful assortment of games. The hot tub outside under the stars is an added bonus and one you should take up as it was a great way to wind down in the evenings. And Amy was the perfect host - friendly, knowledgeable with her guidebook, and highly responsive. Would definitely recommend her cottage and hope to visit again!

Amazing stay here with my husband. The cottage was perfect for a relaxing and quiet weekend. The breakfast basket was a lovely touch and everything was as described in the listing. Joy is a brilliant host checking in to make sure everything was going smoothly! Would definitely stay again!!

We had a really lovely stay here this week. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful and we even saw a woodpecker hopping around the grass one afternoon. Our daughter adored the trampoline and climbing frame, we also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each day after exploring. We did day trips to Lyme Regis, Beer and Forde Abbey & Gardens. A perfect, peaceful spot to spend a few days, thank you.

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

Ok, if you are looking at this cottage and wondering whether to book it....just do it, stop wondering. You can thank me later. The quiet hits you first, only birdsong and the sound of the breeze through the trees. A genuinely beautiful, tranquil cottage, simply but lovingly presented with all the things you need. A kitchen with stove/oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee maker. A spotless shower room, and a separate lavatory complete with wash basin. The lovely large bed, comfortable chairs, table and bookcase all highlight the time and effort the hosts have spent creating something special. Hot tub ? Yes, very private and very relaxing too. The hosts had fired up the wood burner so that when we arrived the water was nice and toasty, perfect to enjoy the sweeping view to the valley below. (Bring flip flops or crocs as the path to the hot tub has an area of gravel). In short, we have absolutely loved time here. Many thanks Rhys & Lizzie for making it possible.

Should you be heading down Glastonbury way I cannot recommend highly enough that you consider staying at Caroline’s Hut in West Pennard. As fairly seasoned travelers, we use AIRBNB on every trip, and The Hut takes the prize for overall outstanding everything. From the cleanliness, clear communication and outstanding comfort, to the sheer taste of the overall home and its surroundings, we were blown away, and so happy to have made the choice that we did. We highly, highly recommend Caroline’s Hut.

Seafield Cottage is perfectly located with easy access to Lulworth Cove and a number of hiking trails, including Durdle Door and the trails along the cove. Absolutely stunning views. Lovely pubs close by and the salt sauna (which you need to book early if hire going to get a good time!). The cottage was super well equipped, comfortable and clean beds and rooms at a very good standard. The master room at the top of the 3 floors was gorgeous with an ensuite. The bunk bed room is great for kids, less so for overflow adults so really it’s a 2 x double bed property sleeping 4 adults + 2 bunk beds (4 in total) for kids. Emma was super responsive to any questions and gave comprehensive instructions and recommendations for the local area. I’d definitely come back and would recommend.

A great find and in a beautiful setting. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need. The garden backed on to the nursery field for the lambs and was lovely to sit out in the garden with a cuppa and enjoy the peace. Cottage was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. Lots to do in the area with Weymouth only a 30 minute drive and Tesco relatively close for your essentials. The homemade banana cake was very well received and very delicious! Would definitely book again.

This is the second time we have stayed in this cosy beautifully decorated cottage in Bruton. The location and host are fabulous, with such comfortable and classic furnishings and close to all the best of what Bruton has to offer.

We (family of 4 plus a dog) spent 4 nights here and had a very relaxing stay. Everything was as described and clean. Highly recommended.

Jo was a great host. Short walk into Frome by pavement or across the fields and along the river side into town. Nice garden with a chiminea and table and chairs for 4. PS Dogs also enjoyed their stay.

Beautiful location, lovely furnishings and super remote. Our family had a lovely time there. Just what we all needed. Will come back again in the summer I think.

Great well equipped and comfortable cottage. Good dog walks and good pub in friendly village. Really enjoyed our stay.

Nut Cottage was a perfect location for us. We were able to walk to both Lulworth Cove and the Durdle Door, two of the sites that we came to see. There were also lovely restaurants within walking distance (we didn't have a car). Sam and Katie were very responsive hosts when we had questions and they provided a list of helpful (and great) restaurants for us to try. They also gave us a heads up to reserve ahead, which I am so glad we did!

Berry Farm Cottage is extremely comfortable and had all of the facilities we could have asked for. It is set in a very beautiful and peaceful location. Neil was very communicative and the description on Airbnb very accurately reflects the accommodation. This is one of the very best Airbnb experiences we have had as a family and I would highly recommend it.

My Granddaughter (13) and I had a lovely short stay at this beautiful and unique barn. It was very comfortable and clean, it was a mini home from home with everything you think you might need, already there. Helen greeted us on our arrival and checked all was okay by text the next day, she had left us a selection of breakfast items and tasty scones, we felt very spoilt. From the Barns location we explored the area such as Cheddar and Western-super-mare and on route we had a great day at Longleat safari. The Barn is in a pretty peaceful village and it was lovely to be able to sit in the beautiful garden and relax with a drink after a busy day exploring. Highly recommend a stay here and which I could have stayed longer.

This was our second stay at Rob & Maggie's beautiful cottage in the tranquil village of Mells. They are great hosts, and it was a pleasure to return here for another relaxing stay in such a peaceful and beautiful location.

My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and wanted somewhere calm and quiet but close enough to explore Bath. This was the perfect choice for us. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, spacious, and cosy for relaxing. Beautiful views of the garden. We used the park and ride to travel into Bath which was simple and straightforward. We appreciated the little breakfast box in the morning and Teresa and Mark also kindly posted something back to us that we had left behind. A really great stay. Thank you very much! :) xxx

A clean, cosy and homely place – it truly felt like a home away from home. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the bathroom was very clean. The living room had cable TV, the internet connection was reliable, and the space overall was very cosy. The hosts also left us plenty of treats and were incredibly responsive and friendly. I’d definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it.

We (3 of us) had a fantastic stay at Simon's cottage. We've never stayed at an Airbnb place before which had so much equipment, both indoor and outdoor. The setting is absolutely beautiful, with fantastic views and sunsets. Because of the location, a car is absolutely essential, but there is a very well-equipped village shop in Baltonsborough, not more than about 5 minutes' drive away. The only issue, which others have also mentioned, is that the Wi-Fi reception is a bit spotty (but that's because of the rural location). We found the best reception to be in the living room, where we were able to watch films and YouTube with no problem. If you were intending to do regular Zoom meetings or something similar, it could be a bit tricky. Simon is an excellent and extremely responsive host, and we would thoroughly recommend the property.

Blackbird cottage is a lovely, quaint place to stay. We found it while looking for a base near Mapperton House as we were attending a wedding there. Susan sent through clear instructions on check in, a great online guide with useful information and gave us directions to a play park for our young children. The cottage was clean with really nice sized bedrooms. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.
