Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ferndown

The Orchard Barn is located in a lovely area in the New Forest. Plenty of nice walks and restaurants all around. Everything inside is as described. The spa was a great addition and we really enjoyed both the sauna and the hot tub. Chris was very proactive and made sure we were allright every day. Definitely recommend it and surely we shall return. Andrei.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Stables. The hot tub was the real highlight and it was beautifully warm / clean. The property was amazing for children and our young boys loved the tree house climbing frame and being able to feed the sheep / goats. A great stay which we'd definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay with all our family to celebrate a special birthday - we loved the house, all able to eat together around the table was wonderful, enjoying chatting and drinking in the beautiful lounge and the younger ones loved the hot tub and braver ones the swimming pool. Great position for all the lovely New Forest areas and walks

A great break away for a few days with my Children.. The hosts (Susie/Sarah) are absolutely fabulous and were very accommodating before and during the stay. We visited Alum Bay and took the chair lift down to the beach and then a boat ride to see the Needles. The property has everything you require for a stay and even has a large fridge/Freezer to accommodate food should you if you decide to cook. A welcome basket of food including a few essentials was a nice touch! The hot tub was a massive hit with my son who was in it constantly. Thanks guys

Mark and Maria’s place was an absolute dream to stay in. We booked it very last minute on the day due to our previous booking cancellation. They were very responsive and understanding about what happened to our previous booking. The place is very good for families. It is spacious and clean and a peaceful area. There is a close Sainsbury’s and KFC so quite convenient for quick food shopping. The best part of the place is the amazing hot tub. It’s very good for winter and for friends to chill with. We are very thankful for Mark and Maria as the angels who rescued our almost disastrous minibreak. Thanks and definitely highly recommended.

We found the property easily and we were met by Allan the host. We were shown all the amenities and outlay of the property including Hot Tub , with precise and helpful instructions. The beds were extremely comfortable with spotless linen. The property was spotless clean and boasted every amenity you can imagine. It was the perfect property and location for our family Christmas. Highly recommended.

very friendly, replied v quickly to a couple of pre booking queries, hot tub brilliant...

My parents had an amazing one-month stay at Laura’s Airbnb! The apartment was exactly as described. Clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location was perfect, close to local shops, restaurants, and public transportation, which made exploring the area so easy. Laura was incredibly welcoming, quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free experience! Thank you, Laura

We had a very comfortable stay. Made good use of the wood burner and found the bed linen very fresh and good quality. We will recco to friends and family.

Another great stay here in Wimborne. The dining area is great for accommodating four people comfortably as is the sitting room. There are two double sofas, which are very comfy. The wood burner is a great bonus. It is also fab that the kitchen is really well stocked and we enjoyed a lovely roast dinner here. It’s a hop, skip and a jump into the centre of town with lots of independent retailers and decent high street chains. We’ll be back.

We enjoyed a very beautiful and peaceful few nights in this wonderful location. The cottage itself was amazing both in the finishes and the historic charm. We walked around the ground and checked out all of the horses, alongside feeding the very friendly birds - my 4 year old daughter really liked it. During the evenings we had a roaring fire in the living room, and greatly enjoyed cooking with the Aga. Hilary is a great communicator and very responsive, I would absolutely recommend this place and we look forward to returning

This home is simply idyllic - the photos don’t do it justice. The most perfect spot with ponies and donkeys outside your window. The house is so well appointed with two of everything you’d need. And really lovely touches like games, cookbooks, grocery cupboard and a guitar. The bedrooms are divine - uber comfy beds and bedding. The bathrooms are luxurious. We hired a weekend in January for a special family birthday and all generations fully enjoyed the house. We were appreciative that this is a eco house. Paul is a brilliant host - super responsive and helpful. The only issue was having to leave - but we’ll definitely be back.

Just returned after staying for new year, we know the area relatively well but first time staying at OSH and we hope not the last! Justin was an amazing host from the start and provided lots of useful information and super responsive! We were 3 generations celebrating new year and house worked perfectly, dad downstairs in the snug and rest of us upstairs, house is a great layout and everything provided so can easily cook at home! House perfect to explore the new forest but also for exploring all local beaches too! Thanks Justin, hope to be back soon!

Fantastic accommodation in the heart of Swanage. Apartment is finished to a very high standard with beautiful décor. Everything works as it should and the under floor heating is a real treat in the morning when making breakfast!

What a fantastic oasis of tranquility to visit. Terry and Jenny are excellent hosts and could not do more for you. The huts were all styled beautifully and were spotlessly clean. The attention to detail is fantastic and Jenny has thought of everything. Sitting by the firepit at night, with a glass in hand listening to the owls was priceless. Florence, Hector and the dogs were just an added bonus. We will definitely return.

We loved our New Year's break in this beautiful place. Thoughtfully decorated with many christmas-themed items especially for the season, plenty of room, spotlessly clean and very cosy thanks to a large wood burner (with firewood included!). Peter and Gwyneth were responsive and informative but largely left us to our own devices, which is exactly what we wanted. Highly recommended.

We used the home as a base to visit family over the Christmas period. It was a very comfortable place to stay. We were able to easily prepare our meal on Christmas Day as the kitchen is well equipped. A very peaceful place to stay and a short walk to the beach on the edge of Poole Harbour. We would definitely recommend a stay here and would certainly book this home again.

Had a lovely break at Sandhills. The caravan was in a perfect spot with all the home from home comforts. Gareth and Marie were very helpful and prompt with any questions I had prior to our arrival. The park and surrounding area is very dog friendly and our dog loved her early morning walks on the beach.

Absolutely loved staying here! The place was incredibly clean, and the park had lots of things to do. Had an amazing sleep here as the beds were so comfortable, sheets were fresh and clean, and the environment was very quiet. Would stay here again!

This lodge truly is a gem, hidden away near the top of the holiday park such that when you're looking out you barely realise you on the park. The views are spectacular looking across Swanage and the Purbecks and you can regularly see the steam train heading up and down the valley. Close to the beach as well as many other local attractions the location is again spot on. The lodge itself felt like a ski chalet, way more space then the photos suggest and also extremely cozy with very comfortable beds and some fantastic original beach themed art on display. To add to all of this is the loverly Judith, our host, who provided some very clear instructions to get to the accommodation and was then very helpful on things to do in the area as well as quick to respond; we felt very welcome! Truly a Gem tucked away, thank you again Judith!

Lovely caravan in a beautiful location. So close to the beach. The caravan had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable.

We booked Lavender House for an early family Xmas get together and the place was lovely. Very clean, ample space, full stocked kitchen to easily cater for 13 people. The hot tub and film room was a great addition. Communication stopped once it was all booked up but after a call to shorefield country park next door they answered all questions and sorted anything we needed. We used the facilities on site too for pool and kiddies arcade. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would love to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoor space.

Highly recommend staying here, caravan had everything we needed and more. Great views and a nice peaceful location. Tricia was very responsive and helpful which made the stay very smooth and easy. Thank you

Catherine is an excellent host, very responsive and helpful. The welcome basket and homemade cake delicious and much appreciated. The house is wonderful, very spacious. It was everything we hoped for and more. The garden and orchard are delightful with several seating areas both near the house and further afield. Although we didn't use it I thought the fire pit and log stools were a great idea. There's plenty of space for 5 lively boys who enjoyed it all, especially the pool and the hammocks! Our family of 12 thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you.
