Kid-friendly vacation rentals in West Dorset District

Great stay with the family at Aimee and Paul’s. Such a great location. So close to the beach and an easy short walk into Bournemouth. The house had everything we needed for adults, kids and dogs alike!

We had the most fantastic stay at Anna’s home. It is such a beautiful, spacious house, and incredibly stylish, with the most incredible selection of toys and things to do for kids. Both my young boys had the time of their lives - so exciting for them to explore everything! They loved the bunk beds, and the huge bath. We had terrible weather, but it really didn’t matter as there was so much to do. There are great restaurants in southbourne that we’re easy to walk to, and the beaches are all fantastic even in the rain. We made a really last minute booking so we’re very appreciate that Anna and her Sikh we’re able to make it work for us! Would highly recommend and love to go again in the future.

I stayed at this property with my family and easily one of the best Airbnb I have stayed in terms of comfort, location, surroundings, hospitality, communication from host. The hosts are gem of people who are very thoughtful in providing amenities and services to their guests. They had complementary welcome kit and had two pages with instructions to use listed amenities of the house as well as local grocery and food recommendation. I always had very proactive and positive conversations with Laura and Mike. I would recommend this airbnb to family (esp with kids) and friends. It is so relaxing that you can just relax and bbq in the backyard.

Fantastic !!! Booked this home as part of my wifes 70th birthday celebrations for 6 adults and 3 grandchildren aged 3,6 & 9. Tracy met us on arrival to show us around this wonderful house and pass on everything we needed to know. The house in real life is better than the photos. It is so spacious and as my granddaughter said Tracy has thought of everything there is so much for us to do. Tracy also left us a lovely home made cake. The kitchen was a great communal place with a 10 seater table overlooking the amazing outdoor space via two sets of patio doors. A great way to start the day. All rooms were a good size. Outdoors there is a beautiful large garden with a trampoline for the kids, a gas bbq for the adults a barn with a table tennis table and a host of toys and ride on vehicles for the little ones. Go through the gap at the end of the garden to the very popular tree house Nobody wanted to leave after a fantastic couple of days. This is a great house.

This is a great Air Bnb- spotlessly clean, well equipped and in a great location for exploring the Dorset coast line. It was such a peaceful setting and the thoughtful little extras made it even more enjoyable (the most delicious chocolate brownies!). Perfect for couples or families.

We had an amazing stay at Matthew’s house for my best friends hen do. The house was beautiful, great location and Matthew was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and return to this house!

Great house and as described. We did feel it was a shame that the garden was quite stark with no plants or greenery

A beautiful house set in a picturesque village and close to Salisbury and Stonehenge. Perfect for a family weekend. Everything you could need. Clean and extremely comfortable. Very good communication with the owner. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely place to stay, very welcoming and easy to find….. very peaceful lovely garden for the dog to run around in, we will be back again…. Thanks Jack, Lydia and Margot

We stayed at Elizabeth’s for a few days when visiting family nearby. It was perfect for our purpose and we found Elizabeth very friendly and accommodating. Our granddaughter particularly enjoyed the trampoline!

Our second visit. Would happily stay again. Located on the outskirts of Glastonbury town, just a short 4-5 minutes walk to the town centre & all its wonderful delights. Located in a quiet close with off road parking space right outside. Comfortable, clean and well equipped.

Yet another great stay at this gorgeous little home from home Airbnb. Many thanks to the amazing Graham & Linda. Whom this time were even more accommodating by helping me out above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful flat. It was clean and we loved the thought that went into the decor. And there was enough toilet roll! 😆 The hosts were very responsive and amenable. The bar opposite was a bit loud with music but it stopped at 12 and didn't bother us really. Thank you.

Staying at this place was nice: the flat is very cosy, well-furnished, location is marvellous, just few minutes away from the seashore and city centre, though quite enough. All the amenities, incl. washing machine and dishwasher, are at place. In this regard, the flat is suitable for both - short-term and long-term stays (I did the latter and enjoyed it a lot). There could be some complexities with general cleaning (since it's optional and not very cheap), though the hosts are able to accommodate you (by providing e.g. clean bed linen on request). The hosts are responsive and open to help with and advise on anything, which is an additional plus!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the beautiful apartment. Amazing sea views. Lovely walks on the doorstep. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

Lovely property it had all the amenities. Good location. Near the centre of Swanage, about 10 minute walk. Lots of restaurants and shops. Near the beach. There a smart tv with Netflix, YouTube Disney+, everything you have with smart tv.

Great place. Second time staying here with my elderly father for Christmas. Was spotlessly clean with all the kitchen etc utensils needed. The scones, jam and clotted cream was a nice touch as we're the Christmas decorations. Arranged to check-in early at 4pm on Christmas eve. Is about a 15 minute walk from Exmouth station plus is on street parking (parking permit provided by host if needed). Very easy access to seafront/estuary mouth and small marina. Is also a pub opposite (not noisy) that does good food. Are a couple of mini-mart style shops about 400yards away. Exmouth centre a 15 minute walk. Would recommend

Debbie was fantastic from start to finish,the apartment is stunning and so comfortable and spotless,the beds are so comfy,the whole accommodation is well thought out and every available thing toy need for your stay is included,with well written instructions for everything

Spacious three bedroom 2nd floor appartment. Lift located next to appartment front door. One parking space which can be seen from living room window. Lots of extras in appartment- eg shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet roll, hand soap etc which was a great addition. Further free parking around the corner on Derby Road. 10 min walk to Boscombe beach. Would thoroughly recommend and look forward to a return trip

We had an enjoyable week at Matt's flat. It was warm, clean and comfortable and had all you needed for a short stay. Matt was extremely helpful and prompt with his replies to our queries. A small problem was fixed within an hour or two. Next time we stay in Bournemouth, this flat is at the top of our list!

The photos didn’t do not do it justice, the flat is beautifully decorated and had lots of amenities over and above the description. Fix was incredibly friendly and helpful. The flat is so close to everything we barely used our car.

Absolutely amazing stay at Samantha's place! Communication was excellent from start to finish. The flat is truly beautiful - the photos don't do justice to how spacious and open the main rooms actually are. The location couldn't be better - just a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to the New Forest. We were able to explore so many beautiful sights all within easy reach. The beds were very comfortable and all appliances were new and worked perfectly. We hope to return again soon!

We were blown away when we walked into the home. Perfect home for our family of 4! The kids loved the outdoor space and enjoyed some of the books that were available for bedtime. We really appreciated the spaciousness and also the Short walk to the seaside. Hope to return in the summer for a longer stay!

Great place for a visit to Exmouth. Clean snd tidy. Centrally located and walkable to most areas including railway station. Good broadband connection. Garage is useful but only fits up to medium size vehicle.
