Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Puddletown

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!

Anna was there to greet us soon after we arrived. We had already seen photos of the accommodation and read descriptions, but I can only say it exceeded expectations. Perfect place to spend a week relaxing and exploring locally. The artisan cafe across the road was full of character and delicious homemade food. There is also a well stocked village shop on the northern outskirts. We hope to return. Thank you Anna.

We had a fantastic time at Brookside Farm - Swallow's Return was even nicer than we'd been expecting, with stunning views across the Dorset countryside and everything we needed for a few days of rest. The place was easy to find with the directions provided and we were given a very warm and friendly welcome by Charlotte, Jonni, Stanley and Maurice. They left plenty of local tips and suggestions for us in the apartment, which we made use of. The highlights for us were being given the chance to feed and learn more about their beautiful alpacas, eating out on the terrace in the evening at sunset and enjoying the sound of the brook that runs along the bottom of the farm. If you're looking to disconnect for a few days in a beautiful place surrounded by nature, we'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

Laura’s place is an absolute gem! It is so tastefully designed and well appointed. The location itself is very special too. Everything has been thought of for a comfortable stay. I loved lighting a fire at night and looking out to the garden in the morning. Laura is super warm and welcoming—knowledgeable about the area too. This stay is one of the best in my books to date! Absolutely worth a visit.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at The Barn to celebrate two special family birthdays. It was even better than the photos, which is not always the case, and provided an extremely comfortable and open space to relax in, and great outdoor area. It definitely had the 'wow factor' for us and we couldn't believe our luck when we arrived. Really nicely furnished and a very well equipped kitchen, along with three immaculate bedrooms and bathrooms. Having a separate TV room was a bonus and made made the main area much more sociable. Charlie and Ali were friendly and helpful during our stay. We all had a great time, and so did Wilf (the dog), and can absolutely recommend staying here. We would love to visit again at some point in the future. Thanks very much for a happy and memorable stay.

Beautiful little place in the country side. Peaceful and tranquil. Very responsive over messages, replied pretty much Immediately. Could t of asked for a better bank holiday stay.

Lovely little cottage with High quality kitchen and bathroom which were spotless. The lounge is on the first floor and is cosy and comfortable with a light airy feel and pleasant green views. The double bedroom is cosy and bright too, with a cupboard for clothes, not a wardrobe, but there are hangers to use. The bedding and towels are good quality. The single bedroom downstairs is darker, looking out onto a wall. The little courtyard garden is an attractive place to sit. From the cottage you can walk a little way along the road to a network of footpaths into crop fields. We enjoyed evening walks through fields of wheat and barley, with wonderful views into the countryside beyond. As the paths aren't clearly marked once off the road, it is necessary to take an OS map. The cottage is on a minor country road at the end of a few houses which are part of Winterbourne Whitchurch. Altogether a lovely clean and comfortable place to stay in beautiful countryside.

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.

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

Such an amazing place for us. Cat was very responsive to all questions and was very accommodating. We were greeted by fresh eggs, milk, bread , butter and some cereals upon arrival, which was really special touch. Very serene location and a designated space to park. There was plenty of room to relax, nice little kitchen fully equipped and the bedroom had a huge closet. Wonderful 12 day stay at Little September Cottage , we will definitely return. Thank you Cat and Jerry for a wonderful stay.

Emily and Lukes place was perfect for our overnight stay in Poole before getting the ferry to Jersey. The apartment was beautifully decorated ,clean and well equipped. The fresh milk and biscuits were a welcome surprise. We will definitely recommend their place.

Beth’ s place is amazing. A calm and peaceful haven. From the thoughtful welcome card to the incredibly kind extra touches like bread, milk and eggs. Beth has created the most fantastic experience for guests. We had a fabulous 8 nights and really recommend this as a perfect place to stay.

What an amazing place for a solo bank holiday weekend to reset and recharge! Terry’s apartment was perfectly located and had everything I needed. Train station close by and right next to the beach for those early morning dips and lots of amazing hikes and running routes nearby. I recommend The Smugglers Inn for a lovely Sunday Roast, and it’s right on the coastal path which is a stunning hike. There’s a lovely cafe and local convenience store for essentials right on the doorstep of the apartment - and the balcony is a prime spot for a coffee, taking in the waves and watching the world go by. Being able to hear the waves through the windows in the apartment was pretty special! A great stay and a super friendly and communicative host. Thank you Terry!

We just went for the one Twin Room option Which was perfect for our one night stop over on our route. There are other options (Message Heather) We just needed the one room for our 1 night stop over on route on our journey and this was perfect. Thank You

We had a wonderful time at the harbour hideaway. The property is so cute with lovely nautical furnishings. It is a real gem and amazing to be so close to the harbour and we loved watching the bridge go up and the boats pass. The pull down bed was one of the comfiest sleeps ive ever had! We felt very welcome and the dogs especially as there were so many thoughtful touches for them! The permit parking was extremely helpful and we really appreciated Cates local knowledge and proactive advice on a local event which meant we needed to move our car on our last night but it was no panic thanks to Cate letting us know in advance. Thank you, we hope to come again some day and will tell friends and family

We spent two wonderful weeks in this outstanding flat and enjoyed it from the very first moment. Anna was incredibly helpful and friendly even before we booked, and supported us with any questions or concerns we had during our stay. We couldn't have wished for better hosts in Weymouth. The flat is excellently equipped. You'll find everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout, and the bed was large and comfortable. We loved being so close to the beach and being able to go for a lovely stroll whenever we fancied. Supermarkets, restaurants, and a bus stop are right next to the building, providing everything one might need for a stay. You should definitely stay here – we loved it!

Very sweet little cottage, beautifully decorated with everything you would need inside of it. Great location, with a nice pub down the road. We would definitely stay here again and recommend for all. The only downside is that it is situated on a busy road so at night you can sometimes hear the cars, but we didn’t mind.

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.

Perfect location! Amazing seaside views, really enjoyed watching the waves and people watching from the comfort of the sofa/bedroom. Kitchen well stocked and lovely touch of bread, milk, jam and biscuits for breakfast the next day. The sofa bed was really comfy for our two children, and plenty of space for our family of four. Super clear instructions to enter, and the parking permit was a huge plus! Really enjoyed our stay!

Lovely stay at Kathryn's flat. Myself and my two small boys spent 2 days here over half term and we had an amazing time. We found parking directly outside, we didn't need to move the car for our whole stay, everything was walking distance. Beach, restraunts, Pier, parks, cinema etc. The flat had all the amenities we needed and it was like a home away from home. I will be sure ti book again next year! Sash

We stayed in Peter’s annexe for two nights in order to go to a wedding in the village and it was just what we needed. There was plenty of room for two people and it was comfortable and well equipped. There was everything one could possibly need and it was spotless. Peter gave very clear instructions regarding arrival and a most useful Welcome Pack. This is an ideal base for exploring this part of Dorset and I heartily recommend it.

if you are reading the reviews to guide you in making a decision if you should book then do it. I can't add to what others have written really; so well placed on the harbour, spotlessly clean, absolutely everything you could want and need .. and lots more, such a comfy bed with quality bedding, a lovely big bath. I could go on but it's all been said. The best we have stayed in
