Cottage vacation rentals in Cerne Abbas

Amy's cottage is an amazing find if you're looking for a Somerset getaway. The place itself is beautiful and perfectly kitted out - especially if you have kids, with crockery, cutlery, a high chair and not to mention the wonderful assortment of games. The hot tub outside under the stars is an added bonus and one you should take up as it was a great way to wind down in the evenings. And Amy was the perfect host - friendly, knowledgeable with her guidebook, and highly responsive. Would definitely recommend her cottage and hope to visit again!

Cute property, clean, no direct access to the hot tub area but it is just across the driveway and is very secluded so wasn't a problem. Downstairs rooms slightly damp feel but then again it is a very old building so didn't bother us much. Very well connected to Bath and Bristol.

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at Ruth's stunning cottage. Ruth was a fantastic host, always on hand to answer my many questions (sorry Ruth😅) to walking in to find a lovely hamper. She also had mapped out some walk trails and supplied books / leaflets for local amenities. Cannot fault anything! We loved the hot tub and such a lovely enclosed garden so our dog was free to run around at his own leisure. It felt like a home away from home as we were able to use Ruth's BBQ too! Thanks for having us Ruth!

Wonderful little cottage, where get to see horses and donkeys everyday. We loved staying here and are already looking to book again in the autumn. Joyce & David are lovely and we’re happy to show us around the farm and tell us all about the animal, thank you so much.

Had a wonderful two days at The Bothy. Such a beautiful spot and the cottage I think looks even better in real life - and it looks pretty wonderful in the photos! We felt right at home straight away- Chrissy had left some welcome staples which was appreciated and there is everything you need for a truly lovely stay. We made use of the hot tub which was fab and it’s in a very peaceful but convenient location to explore the New Forest. Come - we hope to go back soon.

We had a really lovely stay here this week. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful and we even saw a woodpecker hopping around the grass one afternoon. Our daughter adored the trampoline and climbing frame, we also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each day after exploring. We did day trips to Lyme Regis, Beer and Forde Abbey & Gardens. A perfect, peaceful spot to spend a few days, thank you.

Very well appointed and great for a family, we had an 18 month old with us. The games room is a little gimmicky but was fun along with all the board games as we had a little one with us so adds a little to the stay along with the hot tub and beautiful garden as couldn’t pop to the pub in the evening. There is also a cache of cars which our daughter loved to play with, it was these nice little touches that made a difference. Some great recommends from the host and the local area is handy and beautiful with a play park just a 10 min walk away. Recommend the Rose and Crown pub on a sunny day, 15-20minute walk, garden is great and little slide for kids. Traffic is the only downside to the area really but the house is nestled away from it all.

Ok, if you are looking at this cottage and wondering whether to book it....just do it, stop wondering. You can thank me later. The quiet hits you first, only birdsong and the sound of the breeze through the trees. A genuinely beautiful, tranquil cottage, simply but lovingly presented with all the things you need. A kitchen with stove/oven, fridge, toaster, kettle and Nespresso coffee maker. A spotless shower room, and a separate lavatory complete with wash basin. The lovely large bed, comfortable chairs, table and bookcase all highlight the time and effort the hosts have spent creating something special. Hot tub ? Yes, very private and very relaxing too. The hosts had fired up the wood burner so that when we arrived the water was nice and toasty, perfect to enjoy the sweeping view to the valley below. (Bring flip flops or crocs as the path to the hot tub has an area of gravel). In short, we have absolutely loved time here. Many thanks Rhys & Lizzie for making it possible.

We had a lovely few days staying in Templecombe. The cottage is very comfortable with a cosy living room, well equipped kitchen and two good-sized bedrooms with really comfy duvets! Our only regret is we didn't get to use the fireplace in the living room as the weather was so nice! James was really accommodating and friendly, and gave us some great recommendations for things to do with our two small children. We loved visiting Stourhead and had a delicious Sunday lunch at the beautiful Story Pig farm. A lovely break!

Had a wonderful solo stay with my dog at Dawn’s place. The cottage was cozy, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. Great local walks right from the door, a friendly dog-welcoming pub nearby, and a real sense of peace. Felt safe and relaxed the whole time —would absolutely return. Thanks for having us Dawn!

Jo was a great host. Short walk into Frome by pavement or across the fields and along the river side into town. Nice garden with a chiminea and table and chairs for 4. PS Dogs also enjoyed their stay.

Wonderful half term stay at little Gem Cottage. We used it as a base to explore Dorset, Somerset and even drove through Devon. It is well equipped for a baby with a lovely clean highchair. The kitchen was light and well stocked, we cooked every night.

Great well equipped and comfortable cottage. Good dog walks and good pub in friendly village. Really enjoyed our stay.

My friends and I had a lovely stay at the cottage. Kate sent us lots of recommendations before our visit (the firehouse pizzeria next door is excellent!) which helped us plan our stay. Would highly recommend this cottage.

What a perfect spot to stay in Wells! It is absolutely adorable and so well thought out. An easy short walk to do many great shops, restaurants and of course the cathedral and Bishop’s Palace. We really love everything about Wells and this stay added another level of charm.

Beautiful cottage, very peaceful and private. Loved how perfectly wonky everything is. Great location to get to nearby beaches. Helen was very proactive and kept in touch throughout. If we visit this way again I wouldnt hesitate to book another stay.

We had a lovely stay at the Condo. It had everything we needed, plus really homely touches. Access to the indoor pool was really great especially for a rainy day with our 1 year old. Jacqueline and Tony were very welcoming. Great location and a peaceful get away. We were sad to leave.

This is the second time we have stayed in this cosy beautifully decorated cottage in Bruton. The location and host are fabulous, with such comfortable and classic furnishings and close to all the best of what Bruton has to offer.

Thank you to Martina. Excellent communication. Easy to access and an immaculate, centrally located property. Beautifully renovated. Would definitely recommend.

The accommodation was fantastic & facilities were 5 star. Beautiful country location, would definitely recommend to anyone.

Enjoyable stay in this home from home!

We had such a wonderful stay at this absolutely gorgeous cottage! The garden was beautiful, and the whole place felt so cosy and welcoming—truly a home away from home. The beds were extra comfy, and everything we needed was right there. Rebecca was an amazing host—so lovely, helpful, and full of great recommendations on places to visit. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Thank you so much, Rebecca, for sharing your lovely place with us. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

We stayed in The Goat shed for 5 nights for a mini-moon and can't fault it. Easy to find and very clean and comfortable. The welcome pack had tonnes of information and reccomendations for food, activities and experiences in the surrounding area. Open forest, beaches, farm shops and quaint villages all within a half hour drive, but if you don't fancy that, there's plenty thats walkable too. Rachael and her family were very welcoming and friendly, offering us vegetables from their garden and answering our many questions. The surrounding area is beautiful and if you're looking for a jumping off point to explore the New Forest, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one. They also have great tastes in biscuits!

We absolutely recommend this listing! We would gladly stay here again in the future. The property is exactly as described and very comfortable. The garden area is beautiful and the entire property is very well maintained. The location is great with several restaurants within walking distance. They also have a folder in the room with restaurant recommendations, routes for countryside walks, and other useful information. Tea and coffee can be made in the room and water and snacks were provided. Excellent condition at an incredibly affordable rate.
