Farmstay vacation rentals in North Dorset District

We couldn't say enough good things about our visit - the cottage is beautifully decorated and maintained and the garden / orchard is so peaceful to sit in, both are just as described. The cottage is very well kitted out and there is everything you could think to need in the kitchen. There are so many lovely touches if you are visiting with children (which is rare for Airbnb, we find) and makes all the difference when away from home. This is an Airbnb where the owners care not only about the property but about the quality of your stay. Neil and Mike are friendly and accommodating, we only wished we had been staying for longer!

Orchard Barn Spa is a peaceful retreat for those looking to escape the city. We stayed there with our four month old and Chris was very accommodating, providing a baby bath etc. It provides the perfect base to explore all that the new forest has to offer, has ample parking space, is very clean and sits in a private plot. Thanks again Chris for a great stay and for your great communication throughout our trip.

Stayed here for a wedding at Hatch house and it was stunning. Beautiful cottage and scenery and super comfy beds, would definitely come back to explore the area and do some walks, as there’s a footpath right by the house. Host was easily contactable and very friendly, would highly recommend this spot!

We stayed at Jo and Trevor’s place as a last minute booking for a wedding. Though we didn’t spend too much time there, it was a lovely, cosy self contained chalet in the old milking parlour - as described! It’s in a quiet rural village location with views across expansive farmland from the property and parking right outside. We had a great stay and if we were in the area for some countryside walking, we’d definitely stay again. Honourable mention has to go to the shower which, in rural settings can often underwhelm but not here - plenty of pressure and plenty of hot water!

We had a wonderful time in Woodpeckers Rest at the Brookside Farm. The very vision of verdant peace. It was a great launching pad for adventures all along the Jurassic Coast and throughout Dorset. Thanks to Charlotte for being so communicative and welcoming!

We had a short stay at the Beehouse and it was so lovely. Very comfortable and welcoming and amazingly well equipped. The surroundings are idyllic and teeming with wildlife We have stayed at quite a few Airbnb places, all of which were good, but this was the best!

Lyn and David are the most wonderful hosts! David build the home from the ground up and it is very beautiful! We loved how homely it felt, comfortable beds, views that are out of this world and a really peaceful place to be! We can’t thank you both enough for allowing us to share your slice of Mendip Hills beauty!! Lyn left some homemade scones which were to die for! We have to revisit as we didn’t explore all the amazing walks and Wells in more detail , and would not think twice to stay again. PS there is a beautiful little shepherds hut nearby with the same amazing views also built by David (Lyn said because he was bored!) Hopefully David remains bored, we look forward to his next amazing space/s. We highly recommend you visit!

Sarah was the perfect host who made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. Cleeves House is a beautiful and peaceful barn with stunning views of the valley. It has been set up to meet all our needs during the stay with excellent amenities, big rooms, comfortable heating and tidy clean kitchen and bathroom. Just what we needed for a get away. We loved our stay.

very nice and cosy accomodation, in the middle of nowhere (what we wanted). well equipped. very relaxed stay.

Beautiful conversion which felt light and airy. Lovely to have a patio and grass space outside. We enjoyed the views over the field watching the horses and the birds. It was really peaceful, so felt very relaxing. Nice towels and comfy bed and sofa. Wimborne close by and several NT properties close by as well as the Purbeck coast. Great location.

We enjoyed our stay again at this lovely house with amazing views. Looking forward to staying there again in August. A peaceful & relaxing place to stay.

We had amazing stay at Axe Valley View for a long birthday weekend in June. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay with beautiful valley views. We especially loved how wildlife and eco-friendly it was, both inside and out. A short drive to Lyme Regis where we attended the Fossil Festival 2025 and great local hiking routes, including Golden Cap in Bridport. Alison was a lovely and welcoming host and we would highly recommend a visit.

Beautiful setting and a beautifully built log cabin. Peaceful and tranquil. Well worth the money and we will return in the future. Visitors need to visit the anchor inn in seatown for lovely food and drinks

Had an amazing two night stay here. Was very easy to find following the instructions provided. Beautiful location and no noise. Cabin was really cosy and looked exactly like the pictures. It was very clean and provides everything you need and more. Hosts were very pleasant and welcoming also providing a nice book of things to do in the area. Definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future for sure!

Lovely bolthole - beautiful barn with a wonderful view over nice garden and fields. Well equipped for two people and comfy with nice living space and TV. Kitchen had everything we needed (and we did lots of cooking) and good oven/hob/BBQ. The best thing for us was the tennis court - it's an artificial turf court in excellent condition - played very nicely and we used it every day! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

fantastic stay, thank you to Dorothy for making our stay so enjoyable and relaxing, great folder left with recommendations on where to visit, where to go to eat etc, the views from the pub beer garden were just amazing. we went to a couple of local beaches and to monkey world, and corfe castle. and explored the surrounding beautiful village. annex was lovely, cosy and enjoyed using the private decking and garden. only one negative is that the water tasted chemically( if that's a word hahah) but we got around this by rinsing the kettle after each use and refilling the water per use. Thanks for a wonderful relaxing stay in beautiful Dorset.

A great find and in a beautiful setting. The cottage was well equipped with everything you could need. The garden backed on to the nursery field for the lambs and was lovely to sit out in the garden with a cuppa and enjoy the peace. Cottage was immaculate, comfortable and quiet. Lots to do in the area with Weymouth only a 30 minute drive and Tesco relatively close for your essentials. The homemade banana cake was very well received and very delicious! Would definitely book again.

There are not enough words to do this property and Ava justice . It is truly stunning from its location to the laundered bedsheets , super equipped kitchen and so much more . We were made to feel so welcome . Ava and Chris really do go above and beyond . Our son Archie loved it and was encouraged by Ava to explore and see the cows . He really didn’t want to leave . Honestly we all wanted to stay . If you stay here , you will not be disappointed. We are looking for an excuse to come back

Highly recommended. This is our second visit. The apartment is very clean, well appointed and set in beautiful, well kept gardens. We enjoyed being able to walk our little dog in the private field/paddock at the rear of the property with lovely views of the surrounding fields and countryside. Well worth a visit and Steve is a very welcoming host.

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!

Our stay at Godminster cottage was wonderful and I cannot fault the hosting by Belu. From the moment we booked he was friendly and easily contactable no was very accommodating to our various requests. The cottage itself is beautiful with a lovely walled garden and outside seating area. We will definitely be back to visit again!

Delightful stay. :) Hosts were helpful, friendly, and very welcoming, and the property is gorgeous! Set in beautiful surroundings, and felt right at home in the perfectly appointed accommodation - would absolutely recommend!

Gemma's property is absolutely wonderful. It feels like you're staying in a real piece of history. The cottage has so much character, and the surrounding area is absolutely breathtaking. The cottage is well equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen to cook anything you may be interested in. The llamas as neighbours were a big hit with the kids in our party, and we particularly enjoyed being able to walk outside of the garden into the historic Church area. Plenty of outdoor and indoor space. We'd book again in a heartbeat, thank you Gemma for a wonderful stay.

Lesley was a fantastic host! she was caring, proactive and very responsive. Always checking in with us to check if we were ok and responding to our questions! The place was wonderful! Great location, everything was immaculate! We would 100% stay again when in the area without a doubt!
