Kid-friendly holiday 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!

Perfect stay in an idyllic location. Despite being on the Athelhampton House grounds, the cottage is private with ample parking and a lovely outdoor space. The inside of the cottage is lovely too. We had a fantastic stay - 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.

Lovely home, spacious, modern, clean, and well equipped. Easy to find and Suzanne provides clear instructions and recommendations. Good parking. We used it as a base for a wedding at Stockbridge Farm Barn which is only a couple of minutes drive or under 20 minutes to walk. There is lots to do in the area (we visited Montacute House 25 mins away by car), and there are some nice walks from the house.

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 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.

We had an incredible stay with Nikki for our holiday this year. The flat was perfect for what we were looking for, a base right on the beach front where there were restaurants and cocktails bars around to enjoy in the evenings. Nikki was an excellent host and was very responsive whenever we messaged her with questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better host!

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.

Lovely stay, very clean, great host. Good location, nice views. Definitely use again.

Yet another great stay at this gorgeous little home from home Airbnb. Many thanks to the amazing Graham & Linda. Whom this time were even more accommodating by helping me out above and beyond the call of duty. Thank you!

We had a lovely two night stay at Little September Cottage. The food hamper was much appreciated, the hosts were very friendly and the apartment had everything we needed.

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.

We stayed 3 nights at Joanne's Retreat and really enjoyed our short break. The apartment is in a good location with Weymouth a few minutes drive away and Osmington a short drive in the other direction. There's also two pubs, two chip shops and a corner shop all within a short walk. The interior is very tastefully decorated throughout and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. There's a private courtyard garden too which is a sun trap in the afternoon and perfect for sitting out and sipping coffee. We are already planning a return visit to explore this beautiful area even further. Thank you Georgina & family for making us feel so welcome.

Amazing location right on the beach. Terry was very responsive and helpful, had a lovely break. Thank you :-)

We had a lovely stay, the location was perfect as was the flat. Very clean and comfortable with all you need for your stay and lovely dogs are welcome even though the flat had zero dog smell or dog hair ☺️. If we had to find a tiny negative it was maybe the pub next door which has live music each weekend so can be a little noisy but it would not put us off staying here again. We were also very grateful for the parking permit and most of the time we’re able to park directly opposite the flat. All in all a lovely stay! Thank you Cate!,

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!

Tom’s place is great, excellent location, within minutes of the bars, restaurants and shops, yet quiet and private. A lovely view from the front window of trees in the garden opposite. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean, with nice decor. Everything you could want for a short break or even a longer stay. We will certainly come back again. Parking space at the back and easy access with clear instructions.

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.

We absolutely loved our stay at Carley’s apartment. All directions and instructions were spot on and easy to follow. The apartment was perfect and the view is stunning, and everything we needed was thought of by Carley, who was also super helpful and friendly. We’d definitely recommend to anyone!

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
