Vacation rentals with a patio in Dorset

Fantastic stay for a long weekend with my wife! The location was perfect for exploring the town, and the exclusive development added a touch of luxury. The apartment was spotless and well-maintained, with a great view of the river from the balcony - The seating and table was very comfortable. The one-bedroom layout worked well for us, with spacious rooms and a hall. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed. A big plus was the convenient car parking, just a stone's throw from the lift. One tip for future guests: make sure to pick up the garage key fob from the apartment before unloading your car! Overall, we were very comfortable here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!

Absolutely lovely and will definitely visit this apartment again. Thanks

We really enjoyed our stay at Henry’s garden apartment. It is extremely well located. Walking distance to all the major sights in Bath. The apartment itself is very well equipped. We were lacking for nothing! Would definitely recommend!

Just wanted to say WOW So cosy, spacious and felt right at home! For me the perfect touch was the games and milk in the fridge ready for a cup of tea after travelling! Loved staying here! Would definitely come back!

Wayne and Delyth are very friendly and made us feel so welcome, lovely hosts! The lodge itself is stunning and exactly like described. The lodge was very clean and milk provided in the fridge for tea or coffee. Lovely garden space and parking provided. Would 100% recommend and if we find ourselves back in Barry would definitely look at availability to stay here again! Thank you so much! Had a wonderful stay.

Delightful small cottage. Everything you need, welll described. Very friendly hosts. But best is the location! Remarkably peaceful and bucolic.

My husband, 10-year-old daughter and myself have just returned from a truly amazing week, the property is beautiful, with facilities that far exceeded expectations. We had such a relaxing time; the beds are super comfy; led in bed looking out to sea with a coffee in the morning was a true highlight. The gardens are beautifully kept and being gated and private we had no worries with our daughter playing out. The walk down to Watcombe Beach, albeit steep on the way back up but 100% worth it; we took our paddleboard down and went swimming on a number of occasions, the water is very calm, on 2 occasions we were in the water and within 20ft off us were 2 seals! The hot tub was perfect, lovely fluffy robes provided to keep off the chill. We used the BBQ each evening and ate out on the patio. Susan is an incredible host, nothing is too much trouble, very informative and exceedingly helpful, she really did enhance our stay and made us feel as if we were staying in a home from home.

perfect location by the water with a handy Tesco extra downstairs for breakfast pastries! lovely balcony to see the sunset

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

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.

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.

Big house and garden in great location. Very clean and everything in working order, shower very powerful. Perfect location to walk to beach. Kate was very responsive and accommodating.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Janice's place! It had everything we needed and more. It was very clean, which is a priority for us! The house is also fitted with quality and durable furniture, and there were plenty of fluffy towels. The shower was enjoyable. We loved the quiet and peaceful location. Another strange sounding thing that we've come to appreciate on our travels is the horizontal storage space available here. By that I mean that there were tables, counters, etc. on top of which we could keep clothes, etc., instead of frequently having to go into our suitcase. We loooved that haha. Finally, we really enjoyed easy access to the Information Room (separate but a few steps away from the house), which had anything from extra freezer space to books to toys for kids! We would definitely stay here again!

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!

Staying at David’s Airbnb is a delightful experience! From the moment you arrive, you're welcomed into a space that feels warm and inviting. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, his place offers comfort and convenience, making it easy to unwind and feel at home. David is a fantastic host, always ensuring that his guests have everything they need. His attention to detail, friendly communication, and local recommendations make the stay even more special. It’s truly a stay to remember—one that makes you want to return time and time again! Which I continually do

We fell in love with the house , location and facilities as soon as we arrived. It had everything we needed , the children loved it , from playing tennis, skittles to bar football and stories by the wood burner before bed. Everything was there for us, a separate table in the games room for arts and crafts and games to lovely comfortable furniture outside looking across to the sheep , the children loved the opportunity to be able to walk around the field with the sheep, with one of them saying "this is the best holiday ever" and another saying " this is the best day of my whole life". Thank you Rachel for creating a perfect holiday home where we have made some amzing family memories,

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!

Rental was exactly as described. Spotlessly clean with everything we needed and excellent location. Communication clear and detailed. Thank you

Sonya is incredibly responsive with communication and flexible with our check in times. Her flat is exactly as described and shown on the pictures. It’s to a great standard. The immediate surroundings of the flat are a little questionable but in prime location to parks, restaurants, and the beach. It can feel hot inside the flat on summer days but the large floor to ceiling French doors onto the terrace and provided fan at the property offer sufficient cooling. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly visit again. Sonya and her property have been great to our family (2 adults, 2 teens) while we are on our holidays!

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

Lyme Nook is a stylish, comfortable and well located apartment. The host's communications and recommendations were excellent. A beautiful, tranquil location next to the river and within easy walking distance to the sea front, restaurants and other attractions at Lyme Regis. Would definitely recommend!

The air bnb was perfect for a weekend away, extremely clean and cosy and had everything you needed for a short stay. The communication with the host was clear and Nicole was very happy to help with any of our needs. Located perfectly, just a short walk over to the beach front. Definitely would recommend and visit again! :)

Great apartment with fantastic sea view. Well equipped and thought through with nice design. Good communication with the host. Conveniently located close to the beaches and parks
