Cottage vacation rentals in Purbeck District

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!

We had such a lovely stay at the Potting Shed. The location was beautiful- so peaceful and picturesque. The Airbnb was cosy and the bed was extremely comfy. We were there in 30 degree heat but it was lovely and cool inside. Would highly recommend and would love to come back one day and stay again!

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.

Ruth's cottage was wonderful. The garden is totally fenced so it's dog friendly. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. The bed was comfortable and nicely firm. We enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the decked terrace when the sun came out. Ruth left us a small food hamper with bread, crisps, bread, milk and wine. Our spaniel enjoyed her walks into the Moreton village and playing in the ford. Moreton village has a walled garden and a cafe, and the church windows are something to see. Also, Lawrence of Arabia is buried in the village grave yard (separate from the church yard)

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.

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.

Helen and Martin were lovely and welcoming hosts. House was so clean, and the beautiful garden so peaceful and private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, meeting all the gorgeous dogs, relaxing in the hot tub and walking to the local pub - with delicious food. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely return! Thank you Helen and Martin 😊

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

Stayed here with my partner for a long weekend getaway and had an excellent time. The cottage was spotless, well maintained and beautiful. We also spoke with Phil who was extremely welcoming and friendly, and gave us many good recommendations for the area. Overall we had an amazing time and would love to stay again!

We loved our stay. Great location. Easy walking distance to town, the beach and the steam train. Comfortable beds and had everything we needed.

Wow, what a stunning location. It's every bit as beautiful as in the photos. We watched glorious sunsets from the terrace and enjoyed walks on the beach. I enjoyed looking around the immaculately kept gardens and could have watched the colourful koi in the pond for hours, plus the two cute horses in the field. Andrew's directions to the house are spot-on, please don't trust your satnav or you risk being taken down some very narrow lanes with grass growing in the middle and no passing places. Ask me how I know. There is no mobile reception at the house, as you would expect given the location, but the wifi is very good. Beds and bedding super comfortable.

Charming cottage, very central and convenient for exploring Wimborne. Lovely courtyard. Helpful and communicative hosts

Great self catering accommodation, small but perfectly formed! If you’re looking for total peace and quiet in a beautiful area, close to lovely beaches, towns and villages then this is for you!

Lovely little cottage which was immaculately clean and well presented with rustic aesthetic. Interior and exterior are beautiful. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly and there to help for anything we needed. Bed was comfy and we had 2 nights of great sleep. Very quiet and lovely to hear all of wildlife and no hustle and bustle from vehicles. The cottage was pet friendly and our dog was really content and loved the garden. The bath on the end of the second night was a great added bonus. Although the cottage is very rural, it was really easy for us to travel to local towns, pubs and attractions. We would recommend to anyone wanting to explore Dorset and would love to stay here again.

This is our second time staying at Denise’s lovely cottage in Stourpaine and I’m sure we’ll be back. The cottage is perfect, spotlessly clean, has everything we needed and the location is ideal. We really enjoyed sitting in the garden this time - the garden is lovely and really private. It’s the perfect Airbnb - highly recommend!

What an absolute gem of a cottage, tucked away off the road but within easy walking distance of the town centre, Bishop's Palace and cathedral. Ted (spaniel) especially loved the water gulleys! The Orient Express was the best Chinese we've ever had!

Our family loved staying at the condo. Jacqui & Tony were extremely accommodating and answered all our questions in a speedy manner. The pool is a very nice touch to the air bnb. We used it once as the weather was very nice whilst we were there but definitely would’ve used more if the weather hadn’t been as good. Thanks Jacqui & Tony

Lovely place, loving interior and location. Our only issue was the parking. But would definitely recommend and stay here again.

A lovely place to stay within walking distance of some great restaurants and shops. The thoughtful touches were really appreciated and the lodge had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Lovely cottage, well presented, great view. Loved it. Easy access to Chesil Beach which is a lovely place to swim, kayak, dive etc. Portland Harbour is also close with great kiting wingfoiling, windsurfing and schools for all the above. Highly recommended!

A lovely stay in a beautiful part of the country. We have used Airbnb properties for years and this lovely terraced cottage exceeded every expectation. Lucy (the owner) has set the standard so high, with the effort she has put in, when thinking of EVERYTHING a visitor may need in a trip away. Amazing attention to detail, which was much appreciated. The list goes on: comfortable beds, a very quiet neighbourhood, a 5 minute walk to Poole Quay, good travel instructions, parking and a thoughtful guest folder which had everything covered. Anyone thinking of setting up guest accommodation as a business should visit this place to see how it's done. Clearly lots of hard work and research to achieve such a high standard. Fantastic!

Bunty cottage was idyllic accommodation in a charming area. The accommodation itself was charming and "olde worlde" Catherine was very responsive and helpful with all our enquiries. Would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very well equipped, kitchen, bathroom, etc. The spiral stairs have been commented on before, suffice it to say we had no problem, simply taking care is all that’s needed. Parking was not a problem, perhaps we were lucky but we were able to park outside the property every time and there is a village car park nearby if necessary. The location was good, very rural but easy to drive to the various places of interest in the Dorset area.

Leah visited us on the day of our arrival to check all was OK. The cottage has all the little extras anyone would want. Its location is within the boundaries of Shaftesbury Abbey which has now disappeared but must have been spectacular viewed from the valley below. Views over the valley can be enjoyed when taking the 5 minute walk along the edge of this hill towards the centre of town and Gold Hill the ‘Hovis’ hill. We used the cottage as a base to explore Dorset and surrounding counties and would highly recommend the cottage for its amenities and quiet location next to the hospital and close to the centre of the town.
