Holiday rentals with a sauna in West Dorset District

We stayed in apartment 38 for a week in July 2021. It exceeded my expectations and the pictures do not do it justice (the pictures make it look a bit dated but it really isn’t). It is a lovely 3 bed apartment - very clean throughout. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the first floor and the stairs lead up to the living area and kitchen! The kitchen comes with a fridge, dishwasher, cooker and oven. You also get all your basic cooking utensils and dishes alongside cleaning products including dishwasher tablets. One thing I would suggest is taking some tupperware to store your food in or if you want to make a picnic. The description also stated they provided cooking oil - but there wasn’t any - so it’s worth taking some if you want to make a full english in the morning. We ordered a Tesco online shop which was delivered straight to the apartment without any problems. Note, the pools (indoor and outdoor) are not heated so can be quite cold. The indoor pool area is a bit tired looking with the paint peeling off the floor - but the kids still had a fab time. The gym is also well equipped with weight and cardio machines…but again some of the padding on the machines are a bit worn. Overall we had a fab time, the views are amazing. Meadfoot beach is literally on the doorstep and the town is only a 15min walk away. Paignton beach (10min drive) is great for the kids if you want a bit more hustle and bustle i.e. Pier with arcades and fairground. Also recommend The Inn on the Green for lovely pub grub - they are directly opposite the Paignton pier and the staff were fab too.

Sara’s place is the perfect place to escape with the kids. Sara was super responsive. Easy check in and gaining access to the caravan. The welcoming hamper and card was lovely and gave it a personal touch. The caravan was pristine. We would recommend staying here to everyone, we will definitely be back.

Clean, well designed apartment that had everything we needed, in a beautiful location. We will definitely return.

We spent 5 days here with our 3 children. The place was spotless, had everything we needed. Really warm and homely. The grounds of Osbourne are gorgeous, we loved the park and swimming pool. Lots of places to visit, a nice walk into town (although a little hilly so wear suitable shoes)

We loved our stay at the White House. Check in was a breeze and when we entered the property there was a welcoming box with goodies and wine. Everything was brand new, the kids loved the swings and trampoline and we enjoyed the hot tub. Loads of utensils in the kitchen to help with meal times. A fantastic location, just minutes to the beach. This is a hidden gem and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you

the best experience I had it so far! thank you!

Tony is an AMAZING Host! Super pro active, communicative, Nice and a very good driver! I have booked it for solscite in stonehenge and it wouldnt be the same without Tony’s support during our stay. Will definitely come back soon… THANK YOU TONY AND ROSEMARY

Great place to stay, using it as working in the area. Access to indoor pool and gym was great. Would definitely use again when working nearby. Thanks

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying with Tony and Rosemary. Tony and Rosemary were extremely welcoming and friendly. It really feels like we had known them well for years. Tony was extremely knowledgeable of all matters. He gave as great recommendations as to where to visit. Tony and Rosemary really made us all feel as if we were at a home from home. We would love to stay with Tony and Rosemary again. We had the best of stays with them. Tony and Rosemary really made the stay, next level. Tony has a great sense of humour too. I highly recommend to anybody. Everything was perfect and pristine. We miss the place already! Thank you both so much and we all hope to see you both again, some day.

We were delighted by everything the apartment had to offer and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Awesome location and full length swimming pool with Sauna. Only a 15 min walk into Swanage, beautiful castle only 10 min away and views of the sea. Fantastic full size swimming pool and sauna, our 8 and 10 year old loved it. We weren't able to use the snooker table due to the age of our kids and the lounge is not the most sociable set up for the evenings but the swimming pool made up for it ;-)

The location was within walking distance of most of the places we wanted to go. Having off-street parking is an absolute bonus in Exeter, and having room for 2 cars was fantastic. The proeprty has been modernised, itwas clean with good natural light and was excellent value. If we require accommodation in Exeter again, we would be trying to book here again

What a gem of a place! So glad we found this. Beautiful two storey apartment, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, large rooms with lovely high ceilings, had everything we needed and more. Beautiful sea views, ample free parking, friendly staff in apartment reception and hotel. Couldnt ask for me, would definitely stay again and highly recommend .

Had a fantastic stay, great facilities, master bed was so comfortable, indoor pool was warm and hot tub was preheated when we arrived. Peaceful, private break and would stay again

what a great location, so peaceful and quiet. the space was quirky but comfortable and made the short stay quite entertaining. The grounds were very well maintained and it was a pleasure to walk around.

Absolutely brilliant please. Great host. Reasonable price!

Nice place to stay, rural area, lovely views. The place is spacious, well equipped. Nice fitness area. There’s a parking space close to the entrance and also electric charging available.

We stayed at Sam’s place to celebrate my husbands birthday. From the start Sam was responsive, friendly, answered questions and gave some fab advice. When I made a request she did everything she could to make it happen. The caravan itself is in a lovely peaceful part of the park with easy walking distance to the woods for the dog to have a run and also to the beach where we wandered to the pub and then back for an ice cream. Sam clearly explained how everything worked, where everything was & what she was doing to make things perfect for her guests. Her guide for things to do was really helpful so our days were filled and never dull. I would call this caravan a proper family home, it does everything it’s suppose to so you can just relax and enjoy your holiday. When I had some sad family news, Sam went out of her way to make sure we were ok and that we didn’t need to rush out the caravan on check out, so if you want a proper family home from home that does what it says - visit here! 🩷

We had the most amazing stay at Upton Borne Lodge for my best mates Hen. Nothing was too much trouble for the host and they came with so many recommendations of activities & food from the local area. The house was spotless and just as described with flexible options for sleeping arrangements. The hot tub, pools, sauna were perfect additions. We didn’t leave all weekend as we had everything we needed! Gill & George were so helpful with everything and it’s well worth the price!

Amazing place! Perfect location for a family holiday. The house has absolutely everything you need and more. We really enjoyed sea kayaking and paddle boarding with all Daves's kit. The sea is so close you can carry everything down to the shore. We really loved the hot tub and sauna and bbq area. The games room was a great space for the kids to hang out and play as well as the adults. We couldn't have wanted more. We'd wholeheartedly recommend this amazing house.

We had a wonderful stay in this AirBnB. The highlight was definitely the stunning sea view- waking up to the sound of the waves and sitting in the backyard while having my coffee was very relaxing. The house was clean and comfortable, with all the necessary items present in it. It had games, books and toys for kids. It also had a telescope that we used to view the moon which made the night extra special Co-op was at walkable distance in case we needed anything. The showpiece and the paintings just added to the overall aesthetic and experience of the island. Overall, it was a great place and I would 100% recommend it.

Cath and Mike were great hosts! Very friendly and chatty. Happy to respond to any queries and gave us full reign of the amenities. Their place is beautiful and the annex is lovely. Scenery is amazing and peaceful. The annex itself was clean, everything worked as it should, nice hot shower and a comfy bed. It definitely helps to have a car as there isn’t too much within walking distance, but great if you want escape for a few days! We visited the nearby spa for an afternoon and even took a trip to Cheddar gorge, but Cath and Mike were always quick to respond for any recommendations as well. Thank you both we had a lovely time!

We had a lovely few days at Little Brook, what a great find, in a quiet residential area, we felt 'at home' after our first night. The annex was spotlessly clean, and very well equipped. Carl was an excellent host, great communication. We will definitely return. Thank you Carl for a great stay.

Fantastic stay on a lovely site. Very quiet corner location, tucked away although main parking space is under a tree so try to avoid if you don’t want lots of bird poo on your car!! Very clean caravan with lots of very thoughtful extras for every kind of guest. WiFi very reliable, access passes to site amenities sent over without needing to ask and clear instructions given for check out. Would stay here again.
