Vacation rentals with a fireplace in North Dorset District

Thanks Dave, for a superb weekend. The house, garden and woods are amazing. Great fun for children and dogs. Great base to explore Swanage and the Jurassic Coast.

Jo was an excellent host! Beautiful little cottage, perfect! with everything we needed for the stay. Jo lit the fire ready for our arrival, can’t recommend enough! Thanks Jo, it was a wonderful stay.

A lovely stay at Magna Cottage for Christmas 2024, a fabulous place that hosted 4 generations of the family. Unbeatable countryside walks, gorgeous views, beautiful fire place, lots of board games. What a pleasure

We had a great stay. The facilities are smashing especially the pool. Lots of space to sit and lounge. Lots of things to amuse young people. Kitchen and dining excellent for 10 people and well equipped. Big bedrooms (not big beds!) and bathrooms very clean and good to use. Very warm (February outside) and good technology. Plenty of parking - we had four cars. And the dogs were happy and safe in a well enclosed garden. Host was very good at communicating and very accommodating. He let us stay for a late checkout so we had a cooked breakfast ahead of our long journey. Thank you. The house is on a main road and traffic is noticeable especially if windows are open. Whilst the house is spacious and well equipped it feels a little tired in places and doesn't live up to the luxurious label. But it's great for an extended family to enjoy.

From booking the home, the host was friendly, helpful and very communicative. On arrival the caravan was clean and tidy and had everything we needed as a family for our stay.

Lyn's bungalow was beautiful, cosy and pristine. The kitchen and bathroom was fully stocked with anything we could need, we felt very looked after. The wood burner was also so much fun, it kept us toasty and cosy during our entire stay. Lyn was always there to answer any questions or requests we had - we definitely recommend this as a place to stay!

My husband and I had a great time here. Walking distance to all local shops and restaurants on the high street. The high street is full of great shops and some incredible places to eat (lots of Michelin star restaurants). The cottage was cosy, clean and luxurious. We could not have asked for a better stay! So relaxing. We also visited the Newt on Saturday for lunch. It is only a 9 min drive from the cottage. Thanks Steve for a lovely stay. We will be back.

Luxurious property in a lovely, peaceful location. The host had thought of every little detail to make it a very relaxing and comfortable stay. The garden and countryside views are beautiful and it was so calming sitting on the deck by the stream. I will definitely be going back.

We enjoyed our stay in this cosy, comfortable flat. It had everything we needed for a six night post Christmas break. Michael and Christine were perfect hosts, welcoming , informative and obliging. It was a pleasure to meet them. It was a few minutes walk to local shops, including a delightful bakery, a large riverside pub, tap room, take aways and cafe. With a convenient bus service, riverside path and beaches within walking distance, we could give the car a rest while we were there. Our stay was a pleasure - thank you Michael and Christine

Had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and well-maintained, making it a very comfortable stay. It was in a great location—just the right distance from the town center and the quay, making it easy to explore while still being in a peaceful spot. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful, always quick to answer any questions. Initially, the place was a bit cold, but extra heating was provided, which made all the difference. Overall, a wonderful stay, and I would definitely recommend it!

This holiday home was very clean and welcoming, Tracey &Richard was very welcoming we got there very early, i phone Tracey too ask ifcan leave our car and she said come inside and drop our thing's off , Richard gave us the keys and we walked down to the beach, Came back later to find Tracy have left us, tea,coffee, milk and biscuits 😋. Very lovely. And a big yes we would love to go back again, Mike & Jo

Lovely stay in west bay, great location right on the harbour, flat is well equipped and beautifully decorated, great base for exploring the area!

Lovely little slightly hidden away place in Bournemouth. Close to everything you might need. Flat was gorgeous, if it's that nice in February it must be beautiful in the summer. Especially enjoyed the shower with it's lovely glass/wet room vibe and the high ceiling in the front room. Our only nit pick was there were a lot of light switches we weren't quite sure what they did. Plus a few lights that didn't work such as the fireplace and the spare bathroom (which we were warned about) This did not take away from anything at all.

We had a lovely stay. The garden apartment very clean, spacious and very well furnished and had everything you needed. Richard was very helpful and communicated well. 10 minute walk to the lovely beach which has an excellent bar and food! Would definitely recommend and be back.

Great place to stay for our couple of nights in Swanage. Really close to the town centre and beach. A clean and comfortable flat with a lovely view and responsive hosts. The shower is tricky to use without flooding the bathroom, especially for a tall person, but it is understandable given the nature of the space and is in keeping with the very reasonable price of the accommodation. We stayed here with our two children (12 and 9) and all loved it!

Cute, cosy and a lovely flat! Everything as described . It was spotless clean, the kitchen had everything one would need. Our favourite feature was the wood burner, it made the atmosphere so romantic, we didn’t want to leave the place! Heated up the whole flat so much too! Sam was very responsive to our queries, provided a lot of information throughout stay. It’s an easy walk down to the town centre, takes about 10 mins - we’re fast walkers. Coming back is up hill, it was fine for us as it was a short walk by beautiful houses. Overall a great stay. Thank you Sam!

Each summer a U.K. FAMILY holiday is planned for three generations ..ages 5 up to well quite a lot! The choice this year was to go to Simons place.and what a find for everyone. A characterful house.

Local shops , and the beach within easy 5-10 minutes walk and buses same time away into Bournemouth Poole and Christchurch . A wonderful seven days

I truly believe David’s home “calls you” when your soul needs peace as well as David’s intuitive advice. I have never stayed at a place where the host is nearby (never mind in the same property) and yet, at David’s house I felt extremely comfortable and safe from the start. The house, amazingly located at the feet of Tor’s grounds, is beautiful inside out. It has everything I needed for a pleasant stay, such as, comfortable beds and linen, as well as, a large family kitchen to cook. Yet, its energy, specially in the living room, and garden grounded and soothed my soul. David, the host, gave us the space and privacy needed when one’s on a break. However, he also was a wonderful listening ear and amazing source of advice. Overall, it was a truly amazing stay and I cannot wait to return soon again.

Lovely family home in the heart of the new forest. Was perfect for a pre Christmas getaway with lovely fireplace and warm Arga in the kitchen. Ian and team were very accommodating and it was lovely to have our two cocker spaniels with us to enjoy long daily walks in the forest. Will definitely be back again

We had the most amazing time away as a family for Christmas. The place was perfect for our youngest member of the family under 1 years old, all the way to our grandparents. Everyone felt at home, with space to relax on their own and together. The walks around the estate were perfect for the mornings and the location was perfect for a short drive to the local towns and beaches. Thank you Emilie and all involved! One of our favourite Christmas' together.

Great house for New Year with a family ranging from 12 weeks to 76 with dogs. Grandparents really appreciated the cottage, which gave them space in very close proximity to the house & younger members of the family.

James is a lovely person and his home is really magical and he gave us total privacy but was ready to help or advise on anything, it was a lovely experience and definitely going back the house is fantastic really special and huge I have never slept in such a huge house even the bathroom was lovely the house is really authentic and fabulous wild garden I loved the windows beautiful location really quiet
