Farmstay holiday rentals in Dorset

Beautiful little cottage tucked away but close to the village. Garden was perfect for me and my dog. The steep hill up to the garden didn’t phase us as the view was worth it with open fields and horses behind. Vanessa and Bruce were very responsive and friendly, they kindly accepted my booking on short notice. I didn’t want to leave! Would happily stay again.

We had a lovely Stay, was in a perfect location to explore lots of amazing sights, beautiful views and lots of seaside town nearby. Sharon was very friendly and helpful and the place was comfy and had everything we needed.

What a beautiful location, cosy house, comfy beds and great views. The area around the cottage is lovely with a lot of wildlife. Janey is very friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely stay!

We had the most wonderful weekend at Willow Annexe! A huge thank you to Sally and Bob for the opportunity to stay in such a lovely place. Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. The annexe was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen – fully equipped and very convenient. The garden was a real highlight: peaceful, clean, and beautifully maintained, offering a lovely space to relax and enjoy the fresh air. We absolutely loved the countryside views – so calm and picturesque. The village itself is amazing, full of charm and character. We even had the chance to pop into the local pub for a few drinks, which was a great experience. All in all, everything was fabulous. We had a truly memorable stay and wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful stay at this absolutely gorgeous cottage! The garden was beautiful, and the whole place felt so cosy and welcoming—truly a home away from home. The beds were extra comfy, and everything we needed was right there. Rebecca was an amazing host—so lovely, helpful, and full of great recommendations on places to visit. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Thank you so much, Rebecca, for sharing your lovely place with us. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Where to begin? A small piece of paradise I think comes close! Eddie and Becks were super hosts, warm, welcoming and full of great advice and recommendations. The farm is in an idyllic location, yet only a couple of miles from the sea. Peaceful, quiet and the best place to unwind and explore. The cricket pavilion is a charming , rustic and well equipped bolthole for a couple or small family to enjoy. Dennis the Cockerpoo had the time of his life exploring and playing with his toys in the garden. The local pubs are great and the local beaches are excellent. We had a special dinner in the Ilchester Arms in neighbouring Symondsbury and hours of countryside walks in the hills surrounding. The local farm shop is an absolute gem of a place. The best of Dorset is a short drive in the car away. There is so much more I could add and we are definitely looking to return there for more Dorset heaven. Thanks so much for making this such an unforgettable experience. Albert and Yvette

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.

We have been using Airbnb’s for a few years now and can honestly say that The Barton Annex is one of the best places we’ve stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable beds and chairs and everything we needed was catered for. Jan was a lovely friendly host and left us some nice treats as well as pointing out places to visit. A great place for exploring the area - Wells, Glastonbury, Cheddar etc There is also a local pub within 10 minutes walk which serves good food. We plan to return for a longer stay next time.

What a special place! We couldn't recommend more highly. This cabin is relaxed and luxurious, Jeremy and Tessa have thought of everything! Very comfy bed, well equipped kitchen and great shower. Thank you for the delicious homemade shortbread and the prompt communication. We loved exploring the nearby beaches and walks - the surrounding countryside is so peaceful. Waking up to the sound of birds and the sheep was lovely. We would love to return! 😊

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Granary. Its a really beautiful area for walks and we really appreciated the private little garden for our dog. We would have loved to have been able to stay for longer.

The cabin was beautiful and had such a nice finish to it. It had all the essentials you would need and it was very cosy inside. It was very quiet in the evenings, all we could hear was a tractor in the distance. Camilla was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and was very responsive. We would definitely come back and visit again!

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.

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!

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 had a really relaxing few days. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We will certainly consider booking again next time we come to Dorset. Thank you.

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

It was the perfect place for our young family and dog. Lots of space and peace and quietly whilst being close to the Jurassic Coast. Andrea was a fabulous host, very friendly and happy to help at all times. Highly recommend and we will be returning.

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.

We had a brilliant stay at the Pink House! The house itself was beautifully decorated and was warm and inviting - we felt really at home here. Deborah was very friendly and responsive in her communication and sent us lots of local recommendations of things to do and places to visit. The garden was really private and we loved the built in BBQ and home-grown tomatoes and cucumbers, and the welcome basket that we're waiting for us when we arrived. The Pink House is in a great location with walks right from the front door and only 15-30 mins drive to the various beaches. We had a wonderful stay and wished we booked for longer - we'll definitely be back again!

We had a fab time at the Cider House. Eddy was very easy to communicate with. The house was lovely and carefully designed with everything one could need. The house location was perfect, peaceful and secluded.

We booked a last minute mini break to Bluebell grey, enjoying visits to the beach during the day followed by relaxed evenings back at the cottage playing badminton and boules in the garden. As the evening light faded we settled down inside the cosy cottage with a gin and tonic or two playing cards around the table, feeling relaxed and comfortable. Thank you Michael for being so responsive with our last minute booking and for being so accommodating with an earlier check in time and equally relaxed with a later departure time. I will hold that lovely evening view across the fields in my memory. Thank you

Not our first time staying in one of Andrew’s properties and won’t be our last. Beautiful views and not too far away from home. Gorgeous properties and nicely decorated. Memories made each time and can’t wait to return!
