Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Dorset

We have just had the most incredible stay at Nichola’s place for my sister’s hen do. From the moment we arrived, she was warm and welcoming and met us to show us around. She also came to say bye at the end of our stay and asked how we got on which was lovely. The house itself is amazing and somehow exceeded our expectations- the photos look brilliant but in person it is stunning! Would definitely recommend!

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.

Great host and place

Lovely property. Cleaned to a high standard, location was perfect and very quiet. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend

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 had a wonderful time at Hare Lodge. The accommodation is exactly at described, comfortable, clean and so peaceful. Lisa was such a friendly and responsive host and answered all our questions before our arrival and gave us a lovely welcome when we arrived. We had a lovely welcome gift which was very appreciated. Hot tub was fab, location was beautiful. The lodge had everything we needed and we can’t wait to visit again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and fitted out, and in a lovely peaceful location. It was slightly tricky to find Little Cruxton – we walked right past it before we found it eventually. Andrea was an excellent host, very friendly and helpful. We were walking the Wessex Ridgeway, so really appreciated having access to a washing machine and tumble drier. It was difficult to tear ourselves away after our two nights stay. Would love to visit again some day.

Thank you so much - was a brilliant place to stay with young family. The place was so clean and tidy, lovely comfy beds, great location to explore. would love to stay again in the future.

It is a lovely place with perfect hosts, I can highly recommend it!! The apartment is lovely and clean, you have free parking and a small space outside for having your breakfast coffee. Barrie was a lovely host, very friendly proactive and easy going. When we arrived we found butter, milk, a tasty bread and lovely jam left for us, it reminded me to the old Airbnb days, it was so welcoming! The beds were comfy, flat is designed with taste, it is quiet but 5 minutes away from restaurant and pubs. Poole beaches are close and sandy. My daughter did not want to leave and we will definitely come back!

Despite the weather which was better than expected , we had a lovely stay. The area is beautiful.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Lockett Farm! The setting is peaceful and beautifully maintained, with lovely countryside views that made for a really relaxing getaway. The accommodation was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, and easy to communicate with nothing was too much trouble, and they made us feel right at home. It’s clear they’ve put a lot of care into making the space feel special.

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

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

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.

We really got lucky when we booked this place. Right between the beach and the high street, and inside was perfect. Plenty of space for two kids and thoughtfully set up also for our dog. Just was waiting for us when we arrived and made sure we were fully set up. We’d love to come back some time!

Perfect air bnb for a work trip, amazing location and great setup. had a fun week. thanks Sean!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Bridport. Jonathan is an excellent host. We really appreciated the detailed information about the area that he sent prior to our visit and the milk, prosecco, biscuits and fresh flowers on the table were a lovely welcoming gift. Jonathan lives next door and has provided a private space where he is available if needed. We enjoyed meeting him and having a chat about the area. It is a short 10 minute walk into town and we visited the local market with its quaint stalls. Restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets are all close by. Thank you for our stay Jonathan. It was quite the find!

We had a perfect weekend at Phil and Larraine’s. The apartment was clean, spacious, well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The outside seating area and garden was lovely. Our hosts were always available if required but also respectful to our privacy. We felt like the place was ours and settled in from minute one. Thank you Phil & Larraine . Just one more thing - those views WOW!

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

We had a great stay at this lovely apartment. It’s stylishly decorated, well-equipped, and just a short walk from the centre of town. The cot and high chair provided were perfect for our 1.5-year-old, and everything was very comfortable and easy. Check-in instructions were clear and straightforward. Parking outside the apartment was full when we arrived on Friday evening, which made unloading a little tricky, but there was space on Sunday when we left so it may just have been the timing. Overall, a really nice base for our weekend and we’d definitely recommend it!

This was a brilliant location and a lovely, quirky property. It’s in the centre of Bridport which has easy access to lots of local attractions. We had a fabulous day and hope to be back next year.
