Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Swanage

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.

We had a lovely stay at Sally’s cottage / annex! The cottage is in a great location - 5 mins from Swanage beach and the town, on a peaceful road. The cottage is well furnished with a very comfortable bed / bedroom and great bathroom (the bath was lovely!) Just a quick note the loft (for the second bedroom) ceiling height is very low - it was great and very cozy for our 5 year old but we had to duck a lot to get in :) thanks for the great stay Sally, would love to come back sometime!

We enjoyed our stay again at this lovely house with amazing views. Looking forward to staying there again in August. A peaceful & relaxing place to stay.

Laura’s place is an absolute gem! It is so tastefully designed and well appointed. The location itself is very special too. Everything has been thought of for a comfortable stay. I loved lighting a fire at night and looking out to the garden in the morning. Laura is super warm and welcoming—knowledgeable about the area too. This stay is one of the best in my books to date! Absolutely worth a visit.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Amanda was really helpful beforehand, going out of her way to get recommendations as we had our baby with us. In addition, Amanda added extra child-friendly items that were really handy and thoughtful. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated, cosy, feels luxurious and is very comfortable. It was great to be able to walk to the Tesco metro and the patisserie! Easy access to seafront along Sandbanks, and we did a short drive to Alum Chine for an easy beachfront walk to Bournemouth. Highly recommend Oceanarium for children! Highly recommend the cottage and would stay again.

Wow what a house! You will not be disappointed. We felt we had stepped into a luxury lifestyle for the weekend. The spaces were great for the people staying with pockets of people chilling and socialising throughout. The house was very well equipped. The lounge in particular where we all ended the day was such a wonderful space for family to come together. It was a very special weekend and we would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at The Barn to celebrate two special family birthdays. It was even better than the photos, which is not always the case, and provided an extremely comfortable and open space to relax in, and great outdoor area. It definitely had the 'wow factor' for us and we couldn't believe our luck when we arrived. Really nicely furnished and a very well equipped kitchen, along with three immaculate bedrooms and bathrooms. Having a separate TV room was a bonus and made made the main area much more sociable. Charlie and Ali were friendly and helpful during our stay. We all had a great time, and so did Wilf (the dog), and can absolutely recommend staying here. We would love to visit again at some point in the future. Thanks very much for a happy and memorable stay.

We loved this house. It was very well equipped with everything we needed. The house was clean and tidy. We found the location perfect, very central to the town. Jennie was a friendly welcoming host. Would highly recommend to others

The beach hut is a perfect retreat. It is beautifully kept and has a gorgeous private garden which goes right up to the water’s edge. It’s wonderfully located less than 5 minutes walk from the main Sandbanks beach and Rick Stein’s restaurant. The Studland chain ferry is also very close giving access to stunning Shell Bay and the wild National Trust beaches. Michele was very friendly & provided many thoughtful touches including her homemade lemon drizzle cake - sublime! I would love to return as it’s a perfect spot from which to explore this area or just to meditate on your bed with a sea view. Thanks Michele!

Absolutely lovely and will definitely visit this apartment again. Thanks

Lovely stay, very clean, great host. Good location, nice views. Definitely use again.

As a family of 4 we loved our stay in this apartment. It is a very homely apartment with beautiful soft furnishing and time has clearly been spent thinking of all the little things that make a stay comfortable (Full length mirrors, very comfortable beds, hair dryer and straighteners to name a few). All the rooms were spacious, and the view from the bay window of the steam trains provided lovely breakfast bar viewing. The beach and town shops, are literally a 5 min walk, handy to have a parking space for the car especially as we hardly had to use it, there is so much in walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.

Beth’ s place is amazing. A calm and peaceful haven. From the thoughtful welcome card to the incredibly kind extra touches like bread, milk and eggs. Beth has created the most fantastic experience for guests. We had a fabulous 8 nights and really recommend this as a perfect place to stay.

Our son and partner stayed, they loved it. A delightful flat, so fresh and clean. Lovely views and such interesting artefacts dotted around. Very peaceful too. Mt husband and I are hoping to stay later in the year. Highly recommend it.

This property is one of the best and nicest we've ever stayed at! Everything was covered including little night light plugins (I'd bought my own as I'd never before had them provided, so that was a lovely touch). The seating in the lounge was excellent, very roomy and comfortable for evenings watching tv. The TV was also fine and the kitchen was well equipped . We'd brought our own Nespresso Mini for our morning coffee as we 're not fond of cafetières so we were very comfortable. The bathroom and shower were also great and the towels wonderfully soft- like new! We weren't able to use the garden as it was somewhat chilly during our week but that will also be a lovely bonus in better weather. Pubs and shops and cafes are not far away so an easy stroll into town and you can buy or have whatever you need! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to guests and to come here again ourselves!

We had a great time staying ( it was our second time!) the flat is beautiful and spotless with everything we needed. Plenty of room for us and two teenagers plus dog! The location is fab, handy for the town but also for the beautiful walk up to Durlston. Thank you ☺️

We had a great experience at Stephen's apartament!All those pictures from the site,they don't do justice ,for it's real beauty!The view from the apartament it's idyllic,just stunning☺️☺️We loved everything,the bed it's really comfy,a big bonus for the electric blinds and cleaning,loved the aesthetic decorations,Stephen is 10 out of 10,his instructions for checking in were very clear and helped us a lot!Great communication!Keep it up!Thanks for having us.

Claire's apartment was lovely with beautiful views of the sea! All three of the bedrooms were huge with really comfy beds, our children loved the toy box and my daughter was particularly fond of a cushion with seagulls on it :) It was so great to have all the extras for staying with a baby and young children, including next-to-me cot, highchair, children's toilet seat and step and tableware. We loved the location, perfect for both a short walk to Alum Chine beach and a quick drive to Bournemouth Pier and the Aquarium. My daughter asked if we could come back every Father's Day! :D x

Sam's place was beautiful. My friends and I loved every moment at her place! The location and view is stunning, just a few minutes away from the beach and many other great spots. The apartment is so peaceful and spacious and the perfect place to wind down and relax. A perfect stay, we can't wait to visit again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Carley’s apartment. All directions and instructions were spot on and easy to follow. The apartment was perfect and the view is stunning, and everything we needed was thought of by Carley, who was also super helpful and friendly. We’d definitely recommend to anyone!

We had an amazing stay, the apartment is beautiful and in such an amazing location. Our kids loved being able to walk to the beach and playground, and we loved having a great coffee shop 30 seconds away. The living room was great for a slump on the sofa after a busy day. Parking at the pub worked well. Thanks for a great stay!

Lovely stay at Kathryn's flat. Myself and my two small boys spent 2 days here over half term and we had an amazing time. We found parking directly outside, we didn't need to move the car for our whole stay, everything was walking distance. Beach, restraunts, Pier, parks, cinema etc. The flat had all the amenities we needed and it was like a home away from home. I will be sure ti book again next year! Sash

I’ve stayed at this property before many years ago when it was first listed so this was a return trip because of how good it was the first time. It’s great to see its still in exactly the same condition it was all those years ago. Is quite simply one of the most beautiful apartments there is. The location is incredible and it has been decorated with such care and thought. The photos don’t really do it justice even though they are great too. It’s a place you will visit and think “ I would love to live here” Modern with a hint of style overlooking the sea, you can’t really ask for anything more. A lovely touch of being able to check out later was the icing on absolutely wonderful trip. This one isn’t to be missed!

A very peaceful flat, on a quiet street, with everything you need. I was only there for one night but was very comfortable. I didn't meet Nicole, but she was always very responsive and helpful, even though I booked late in the evening for that night.
