Guesthouse vacation rentals in Dorset

As a writer, needing peace and quiet, this was the perfect place for me. Chloe was super friendly. The accommodation was full of character and light, with everything I could possibly need. It was a bonus to have an excellent shop and a friendly pub in close walking distance as well as some lovely walks. I would definitely recommend this for a getaway!

Had a lovely two nights at the Apple Barn. Jocelyn was so friendly and helpful, and the location was brilliant, very central to Bruton. We had everything we could need and really appreciated the little touches like being left some home made cookies, bread and milk. Thanks so much Jocelyn for a wonderful stay

Our second consecutive Summer at this lovely place with such an hospitable host in Barbara. Just perfect for the two of us. Thank you for having us Barbara. With warm regards Manuel and Louise

Absolutely brilliant place. Nicola was a fantastic host. Breakfast was a lovely touch and very appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone ! And the hot tub was a brilliant facility to have :) Would 100% stay again !!!

Stayed for 3 days over Christmas. Was absolutely lovely. The house was a great space and very relaxing. Great for families and children.

this place was lovely and location was perfect. From arrival the host rebekah made us feel welcome and we felt like she had gone above and beyond to make our stay memorable :)

Perfect location if looking for somewhere to stay in The New Forest. Great surrounding walks and only a short distance from the local Town where you can find plenty of shops, pubs and cafés. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lively relaxing stay away, an absolute gem.

Comfortable, cosy and conveniently located cottage for exploring the South Wight. Good parking and hosts are very generously offering dogs to use their large garden. Kitchen is very well equipped so cooking proper meals is very easy to do. Can definitely recommend and would return. Hosts accommodating, friendly and very welcoming. Note for dog owners- the cottage is carpeted, being plenty of towels and throws as dogs can easily get wet, sandy and muddy around the South Wight.

First time staying here, but we visit the area usually twice a year for family living in Llantwit Major. We loved the apartment, great facilities and very clean. We would definitely stay again. Short walk to town centre and a few nice pubs and a lovely new italian / portuguese restaurant

This was my second visit to Rebecca's. Rebecca is extremely helpful and responsive to any queries. The flat is spotless and well equipped. Will no doubt stay again!

Was perfect for a Valentines getaway! We are so grateful to Sam and Adrian for extending their hospitality, they truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to make sure we had plenty of information about the surrounding area! We have to give our thanks also to William who provided lots of snacks and drinks through his tuck shop :) The barn itself was cosy yet spacious, the bed was super comfortable and water pressure in the shower was decent. The kitchen was fully-equipped for us to make a beef wellington on Valentines night!! Even the temperatures were near freezing - that didn’t stop us from taking full advantage of the fire place out on the patio! Overall we had a wonderful stay and would love to come and stay again! Thank you again Sam, Adrian and William!

It was an absolutely unforgettable stay. The serene atmosphere and the natural beauty of the surroundings created the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The tranquility of the environment allowed me to fully relax and unwind. The highlight, without a doubt, was the hot tub. There was something incredibly soothing about soaking in the warm water while taking in the fresh air and peaceful views—truly a rejuvenating experience. Every moment felt like a peaceful retreat, leaving me refreshed and recharged.

We had a lovely few days exploring an area of Somerset we hadn't visited before. The Potting Shed was perfectly located for the things we like to do without having to drive very far at all; walks from the accommodation, a couple of NTproperties within a few miles and several pubs along the way. The Potting Shed was spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious. The tennis court was amazing and floodlit too so no excuses for bad light stopping play! Tamzin was lovely and on hand if we needed any help. We would recommend.

Stayed at Sue’s guest house for a friends wedding do. Sue was very friendly when we met her and had a quick chat. The accommodation was just as described and very cozy and comfortable .

Lovely space in great local area. Friendly welcome. Everything you need with style. Thanks Sue - would definitely stay again.

I had a great stay at Charlotte's place. Easy to find and check in. The location is close to shops and restaurants. It was a good base to explore the local area. The place itself has everything that you need. The bed, although a sofa bed, is comfortable. It was warm and quiet at night. Overall, an excellent stay. Thanks

We had a really lovely stay at Marsha’s place ☺️. Marsha and Dave were both really helpful and friendly and gave us lots of local recommendations - our cockapoo loved the woodland walk into town! The studio itself had everything you need and provided a great little base for a weekend break. It’s perfectly situated for so many lovely walks or a trip into Bath for shopping/more exploring. Thank you so much for everything - we would definitely recommend!

Perfect stay! Lovely accommodation, amazing location and the bus stop is so convenient for an easy trip into Bath. Would definitely come back.

Beautifully decorated and christmassy in every way, lovely food and drinks ⭐ Suzy and Andrew are wonderful hosts

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed and the location was very private, quiet and safe. It was easy to get to from the motorway without having to deal with city centre traffic. The bed was very comfortable and I loved being able to see the stars through the Velux window. above the bed.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Beautiful Lazy Lodge. Superb location 15 min walk to Avon beach & local amenities close by. Great to have the hot tub to make the most of those relaxing evenings, plus lovely not needing to go anywhere as it was such a relaxing vibe & having the kitchen there too was fab option for dining in. They were fantastic hosts & we had a really relaxing stay here throughly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay in Gerties House in Glastonbury! We were so happy with house clean and spacious it was! The amenities were great too! Kim was a great host who knocked to check everything was good and directed us on where the local sites were. It is a literal stones throw from Glastonbury Tor which was a beautiful site with spiritual significance 🫶🏻 there were lots of friendly locals up at the Tor too! It was roughly 20 minutes to the High Street which was full of quaint little shops that were full of goodies such as books, tarot cards, crystals, instruments etc. The abbey is also in the town which is a great visit! We will definitely be back to Glastonbury and to Gerties House! Thank you Kim and Edd 🙏🏼

Sarah keeps a very nice little place. everything was straight forward and I'd happily return. Great area for dogs with the enclosed public woodland opposite

We have stayed at many locations all over the world, and this was one of the standouts. A lovely presented annexe with all that you could ever need need, with quality furnishings, a very comfy bed, ample space inside and parking right outside the annexe, waking up to the magnificant views from upstairs looking out over the fields was a real treat. Karen & Roger are just fantastic hosts, the welcome goodies where very well received especially the home made apple juice, and we very much enjoyed the apple orchard and Cider Shed tour. Roger is the most genuine host, who is willing to share his knowledge and passion on all things cider, it made for a most memorable stay in Wiltshire, we cannot reccomend Bromham Cider Farm enough. a most fantastic stay.
