Cottage vacation rentals in East Melbury

had such a lovely stay at the little cottage. great spot to just relax and be in a secluded little sun trap away from any hustle and bustle. hot tub was perfection, garden is just perfect to sit and read our books and have some drinks, kitchen was easy to use and got the job done for cooking, shower was nice and hot and good pressure (sounds silly but i think the shower is always worth a mention!) bed was so comfy, best we’ve slept in weeks! really appreciate the sky box being included, great value for money here. big thanks to Lorraine!

Stayed over the night. Absolutely fantastic place! Quite chilled with a nice view. Hot tub was already hot prior to arrival and everything inside was clean and tidy. Highly recommended!

This was our second stay at The Old Piggery, and again we absolutely loved it. It’s such a beautiful location. Grant is really helpful.

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.

We had a lovely few days, lots of room in the house, hot tub and games room a bonus, along with the deer in the garden yesterday morning! Many thanks for the welcome pack and milk.

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.

This is a beautiful spot which has lovely walks nearby and some amazing walks at local attractions in particular Alfred’s tower - our dogs loved it and so we were able to relax !comfortable accommodation in a beautiful old building the bedroom in particular is gorgeous

We (family of 4 plus a dog) spent 4 nights here and had a very relaxing stay. Everything was as described and clean. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay! It was the perfect setting for my partner and I to enjoy our first holiday together. The location was beautiful, peaceful, and made our trip truly special. We felt right at home (and Rowena left very clear instructions, left us some beautifully kind treats in the fridge and on the table which was lovely) and me and my partner couldn’t have asked for a better experience; we’re still talking about the house and the holiday and it’s been a few weeks since we left. Highly recommend & I must thank Rowena for the great hospitality!

Perfect, peaceful retreat for us. Beautiful village and amazing surroundings. We’ll be back.

Gorgeous location, Jo & Gemma were exceptional hosts. All the small touches were so lovely, breakfast options, pizza oven, BBQ and abundance of local recommendations for walks and restaurants. They ensured we had everything we needed for a relaxing few days. Thank you!

A lovely peaceful stay in a beautifully finished and comfy space. A great trip all round, would definitely recommend a visit!

Great place to stay ,hosts excellent . area fantastic for walking dog could not fault it in anyway.

Fantastic place, great vibe, and lots of kitties to hang with. Loved the quality of the place, it was done with care, not a slap dash money making scheme. Wished we stayed longer than one day. Do NOT hesitate to book.

Nut Cottage was a perfect location for us. We were able to walk to both Lulworth Cove and the Durdle Door, two of the sites that we came to see. There were also lovely restaurants within walking distance (we didn't have a car). Sam and Katie were very responsive hosts when we had questions and they provided a list of helpful (and great) restaurants for us to try. They also gave us a heads up to reserve ahead, which I am so glad we did!

This was our second stay at Rob & Maggie's beautiful cottage in the tranquil village of Mells. They are great hosts, and it was a pleasure to return here for another relaxing stay in such a peaceful and beautiful location.

We had a lovely couple of nights here. We were comfortable and really appreciated the extra touches and how wonderfully clean it was. Highly recommended to anyone needing to stay in this area.

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.

Beautiful location, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable bed. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

Wonderful stay! We have stayed in many air bnbs when traveling or visiting family but this was definitely one of my favourites. All the extra touches for kids were so appreciated, a built in stair gate, bed guard, high chair, toddler bowls & cutlery, gorgeous toys, bath toys etc. Wouldn’t get in your way if you’re staying without children, but much appreciated with a little one! Plus the beds were comfy, shower was fab! And extra touches in the kitchen (like triple choc brownies!) were lovely. Easy parking and great directions!

Stayed at Gill’s place whilst cycling Bournemouth to Bristol. Arrived soaking on two bikes. Gill and her husband could not have been more helpful. Let us put the bikes in their garage, hose them down and told us how to put the heating on to dry our clothes. The cottage is lovely, next to their house and in a beautiful garden. It had everything we needed.
