House rentals with a pool

Superb Farmhouse with pool, hot tub and fast wifi
Ann's place is incredible- stayed for two nights and there is everything you could possibly need or anticipate in the house. We had a great time - the pool and hot tub were very clean and the house was perfect! Ann was extremely responsive and helpful. Would absolutely book again!

Heated Pool, Hot Tub, Sauna, Games - Upton Bourn
A great place to stay for families and groups. Super quick responses, loads of info provided in advance and useful links to places in the area. Lovely house and so much to offer for the young and old - our group ranged from 5 years old to retirees and we all had a fab time. Everything was lovely and clean and well maintained. Would happily go back. Thank you!

Country House & Own 34ft Private Heated Pool
My friends and I stayed at Louise’s place for a long weekend, and it was a wonderful time. The house fit 11 adults no problem. Lovely and quiet, the pool was so much fun, and we made good use of the fire pit to have s’mores. Harry gave us a tour of the dairy farm & beehives, & let us see the calves which was lovely. Louise was a fab host, very good communicator and always at hand if needed. Great stay overall!

Country House - Pool Jacuzzi Escape Room Karaoke
We stayed here for a family holiday, 4 adults and 6 children aged 11-15 and we all had a lovely time. There is lots to do at Mistletoe Farm; the pool and hot tub were great, the games room/ garden kitchen area was perfect for us to all get together to eat, play darts or do karaoke and the escape room was a big hit with the kids. We also enjoyed an evening around the fire pit toasting marshmallows. It’s set in beautiful surroundings and we enjoyed walks to the local pub for dinner and also to the reservoir. Lyme Regis was close enough for a day out too. The accommodation was clean and tidy and well equipped and the teenagers enjoyed having a glamping pod to themselves for a bit of independence. Paul and Sandra were excellent hosts, super friendly, welcoming and helpful, they leave you to enjoy your holiday but somehow always manage to be there when you need them! Highly recommend.

East Creek + beach side + pool, dog Ringstead Bay
location was absolutely perfect for a relax and a decent walk everyday, we paddle boarded up the coast both ways and the scenery was stunning and finished most days with a swim in the pool. if you're after a close too everything place too stay this isn't the place for you but if you're looking for a break away from the world then this will tick all your boxes 🤗

The Lighthouse (BR03), Silverlake, Dorset
Really great stay, lovely house with all the facilities. Fab upside down with balcony off living area. Silverlake has lots to offer and kept our toddler entertained too. Only downside was running out of hot water. Would recommend and would come back!

Martyr Worthy Home with a View
What a spot! I’d highly recommend staying here to anyone thinking about it. We had a lovely stay. The place is great - spacious, bright, very clean and has everything you need (and more!) Fiona has spared no expense or effort - she has thought of everything. The cherry on top of all of this is how brilliant Fiona is! Great communication and just a warm person. Thank you Fiona!

Incredible sea views and heated outdoor pool
Fantastic property with amazing views, enjoyed relaxing in the garden overlooking the beach and coastline. Great location for exploring the coast and the restaurants and activities nearby. Loved it and would book again. Andy and Rachel are great hosts.

Magpies Annex Dorset
Absolutely brilliant! Not a single thing to fault. Maria and Richard are so lovely, very friendly, and always available to help. The annex was extremely clean and had everything we needed (and more!). We will definitely be recommending this lovely place to everyone we know. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Cobweb Cottage, Winfrith Newburgh
Celia’s place is truly perfect! The cottage is decorated to perfection and we felt right at home as soon as walking in the door. It has everything you need and a perfect location to explore the local beaches and towns. Celia was super helpful and we loved the tips and personal favourites within the local area. Thank you so much for our stay, we hope we can come back soon!

Luxurious & rustic renovated Dorset Coach House
Beautiful property, amazing private garden, so much for children of all ages to do, from the play area, exploring the garden pathways, swing and trampoline hidden away. Not to mention the play room full of toys and books, with lots of games for inside and out! A true home from home with so much more.

Beautiful Dorset getaway with stunning sea views.
We had a wonderful week at the cottage. The village is lovely and the cottage is so close to the Square and Compass pub. Very comfortable accommodation and the views are amazing. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Tenantrees Stable
Great cosy place to stay in, felt comfortable and homely and clean. Thank you Moira

Spacious Woodland Lodge in Dorset
A gorgeous lodge in an incredible piece of land with the sound of nature all around. Kitchen was fully kitted out which was very much appreciated and the entire space was perfect for a relaxing getaway. Wild garlic and elderflower in the surrounding woods and the odd bunny and deer saying hello. Truly the best accomodation we could have found in the UK. Thanks!

The Old Rectory near Sherborne
Claire has taken the time to create a beautiful, welcoming and peaceful space. Everything in the place has been carefully chosen and makes you feel comfortable immediately you arrive. Claire was incredibly generous with her time, her interest in us having a good stay, as well as supplying very special personalised goodies. Nothing was too much trouble. The property is in an idyllic setting yet close to many things in the area. Comfortable beds, gorgeous kitchen and bathroom and easy parking make this one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. We would hope this is the first of many visits.

Cosy Cottage on 450 pvt acres
The Air BnB of Gwyneth is a wonderful place. It‘s a really cozy little cottage with everything you need. We really liked all the lovely details in the beautiful appartment and we also fell in love with the beautiful flower garden and the landscape around us. Gwyneth was a really nice host. She gave us so many tipps for places to shop, eat and things to do around the Air BnB. We would come back anytime.

Jurassic coast (2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage
Just loved Penny's wonderful converted stable, perfect for 2 people and having a bathroom each was a bonus! So private and peaceful with a pretty cottage garden to relax in, just perfect! The village is ideally located to explore the amazing countryside nearby. Loved it and will be back!

A Striking Architectural House
Architecturally amazing house, really comfortable and peaceful home to stay in. Gemma was a great host, really responsive and helpfully. The garden is amazing and we spent a lot of time outside with the fire pit, even saw some deer at the bottom of the garden. Highly recommend, especially if you appreciate great design.

The Coach House (2 bedroom Cottage)
We're a family of 4 who enjoyed a two-night stay to reconnect amid our busy lives. The Coach House was ideal for our needs and well thought out. Pub next door where we had an excellent meal with great service (and no pub noise) was a winner. Had a few minor issues including a temperamental fridge & oven. Roy was super helpful & responsive. Beds super comfy, though shower quite weak. But overall a great spot for long walks, sharing good food and an ideal place to switch off & spend quality time together - we took our fave board games. A welcome respite from the everyday. Thank you Roy!

Hollybank Barn
Imogen was an incredible host and the cottage was truly stunning and the perfect place to spend a few days in Dorset. So well connected to all the main tourist attractions while still being tucked away from the hustle and bustle of town. I would recommend anyone to stay here and we will 100% be back

Quiet Comfort in the Countryside
A delightful little cottage in a beautiful location. Karen is the perfect host leaving those little extras like flowers, butter and milk that let you know extra thought has gone into the welcome. Clearly newly renovated to a high standard this is an ideal weekend getaway.

Little Coombe, a luxury rural cottage with Hot tub
We had a very lovely stay. Nicola provided a high chair and travel cot to accommodate for our 10 month old baby. The hot tub was lovely and private and the views were stunning.
