Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Dorset

The property was perfect, the pictures are lovely and they reflect the quality. The property once there is outstanding and very peaceful. It’s one of those hidden Gem AirBnBs, we loved the stay and will hopefully return.

A beautiful home overlooking the sea in a fabulous part of the world. Definitely would come back

Anna was there to greet us soon after we arrived. We had already seen photos of the accommodation and read descriptions, but I can only say it exceeded expectations. Perfect place to spend a week relaxing and exploring locally. The artisan cafe across the road was full of character and delicious homemade food. There is also a well stocked village shop on the northern outskirts. We hope to return. Thank you Anna.

Great house, with so much to do. Space for all the family, all the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved the games room- pool table, arcade machine and darts were great fun. Kids loved the garden space. Hot tub was an added bonus. The welcome basket was so lovely, and there were plenty of amenities in the house, which not many Airbnb offer. Diswasher tablets, washing machine tablets, washing up soap, Nescafe pods, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, olive oil, cornflour. There was also picnic bag, a few tuppawares for going out and about. Location was great, lots of shops locally down the road, and plenty of supermarkets near by. Lots of beaches near by, the one we chose was 7 miles away, and easy to get too. New forest was also local. There was a visitor book at the house with lots of information and locations for location attractions which was very useful.

We’ve absolutely loved our stay – it was such a special few days. I stayed with my two young daughters (3 and 5) while my husband was away, and this place couldn’t have been more perfect. I felt really safe and settled, especially with Amanda, the lovely host, just next door. She was so kind and thoughtful – and even gave my girls a little bear and a suitcase full of outfits for it that had belonged to her daughter, for them to play with – such a sweet touch. Toys, books, and a handwritten welcome note with all the essentials were ready for us on arrival – so appreciated after a long journey. The house is immaculate, cosy, and perfectly set up for families, and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. We had a brilliant day at Sandbanks beach, just 5 minutes away and not too busy – with easy parking, nearby toilets, and loads of space for the kids to run around. Thank you again, Amanda – we really hope to return soon!

this property is stunning and one of the nicest places I've stayed in. it's in the middle of nowhere so is a perfect escape if you are looking for peace quiet and walks in the countryside.

Beautiful little place in the country side. Peaceful and tranquil. Very responsive over messages, replied pretty much Immediately. Could t of asked for a better bank holiday stay.

Beautiful, comfortable accommodation that is super clean. Responsive hosts available if needed. Highly recommend

This beach flat is just in the perfect location for exploring the beach, Rick steins and pig on the beach in studland (5 mins ferry ride). The number 50 bus takes you to all of these . Michelle was very friendly and met us on arrival and showed us around the flat . We would return x

Absolutely lovely and will definitely visit this apartment again. Thanks

We had a lovely stay at Nikki’s beautiful apartment.We couldn’t have asked for a better location. The apartment is very well equipped and beautiful decorated. Thank you for a lovely stay Nikki!

Wonderful place, perfect for 2, and host Joy was great. Made us feel very welcome

Howard's place is spot on .Nice touch with the bottle of prosecco and Victorian lemonade. Would recommend to anyone. We will be going back at some point ,10/10

Had a great stay - clean, comfortable with great amenities and the perfect location for heading into town or coast path walks. Excellent communication with Sally.

Sebastian’s flat is in a perfect location. I chose it as my husband can’t walk long distances and everything was really nearby. No need to use the car if you want a break from driving. Beautifully comfortable, with lots of extras provided. We’ll be back! Thank you x

Emily and Lukes place was perfect for our overnight stay in Poole before getting the ferry to Jersey. The apartment was beautifully decorated ,clean and well equipped. The fresh milk and biscuits were a welcome surprise. We will definitely recommend their place.

A lovely couple of nights here. It’s a really beautiful apartment, lovely decor and very clean. We we able to walk to the beach, the town and the ferry port where we got the boat over to Brownsea Island. There’s also a corner shop and Tesco express 5 min walk away!

Clean and well maintained. Fabulous location, right on the esplanade. Excellent mattresses. West Bay itself; we were worried about the caravan park and that this can generate constant nagging from the kids about sweets, arcades and plastic tat, but there was none of this. It’s a little harbour (good crabbing), a beach and coastal walks with a few ice cream and food options. This week the beach generated very strong waves that were not suitable for younger children, my 11 and 14 yr olds loved it. “Rise” restaurant was superb.

A great location, incredible view from the bed of the pier and sea. Very nice and clean flat. Comfortable firm bed. Great shower and well equipped kitchen. 5 minute walk to the beach and Flamingo is a really nice and reasonably priced cafe/restaurant in between the beach and apartment. Very helpful and nice hosts. Would recommend every time and we will be going back again in the summer.

Beautiful accommodation. But because we are 80 we felt a little isolated as we couldn’t manage to walk from the property, it would be better suited for younger fit guests

My mother absolutely loved the property. Fantastic location

What a wonderful place to stay for a really relaxing weekend. The annex was perfect for the two of us with everything we needed and Mari was very welcoming and informative. Would highly recommend.

The flat was great and very roomy, all of the rooms had been done out to a high standard. Mark and Gemma were very helpful and responded very quickly. Facilities I were as advertised and to a high standard. The driveway was steep so take it slow but plenty of room to turn around as going backwards was not recommended but Mark. But plenty of space for our estate car.

Perfect location! Amazing seaside views, really enjoyed watching the waves and people watching from the comfort of the sofa/bedroom. Kitchen well stocked and lovely touch of bread, milk, jam and biscuits for breakfast the next day. The sofa bed was really comfy for our two children, and plenty of space for our family of four. Super clear instructions to enter, and the parking permit was a huge plus! Really enjoyed our stay!
