Family-friendly holiday rentals in Dorset

Honestly this is a hidden gem and is definitely hijabi friendly... We had our own private space, including hot tub and outdoor heated swimming pool. Keith sourced produce so that it was accessible, he helped us in getting appropriate taxi services.

We had a wonderful stay with all our family to celebrate a special birthday - we loved the house, all able to eat together around the table was wonderful, enjoying chatting and drinking in the beautiful lounge and the younger ones loved the hot tub and braver ones the swimming pool. Great position for all the lovely New Forest areas and walks

From Start to Finish Paul was the perfect host, could not do enough for us making sure that the log burners were lit every morning for us - hosting he was great fun and even joined in our activities. Paul has a great place here - you just have to realise that there is no kitchen in the main house but that did not bother us as we spent most of the time up in the area by the Hot Tub which had fantastic kitchen, games, karaoke, bar facilities - thank you Paul you made a great weekend even better !

Absolutely brilliant place. Nicola was a fantastic host. Breakfast was a lovely touch and very appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone ! And the hot tub was a brilliant facility to have :) Would 100% stay again !!!

If your looking for a quiet romantic getaway then you've certainly found it! After looking extensively for a little getaway to celebrate our anniversary and within our budget we found that the coach house ticked all the boxes. Only a 20 minute walk to the beach and seaside town which has some lovely places to grab a variety of food. The property itself is easy to find and has everything you need to enjoy a cosy time away. Thank you for having us 😊

What a wonderful place to stay. The peace I sought was found, the relaxation that was so much needed was there and very much welcomed. Days spent walking in the New Forest were finished with a chilled glass of wine in the hot tub that was tended daily by a really lovely chap. The lodge was spacious, clean and comfortable with the basics of equipment there for your use, which is helpful. The whole experience is one I shall repeat and have already begun to tell others to check it out too

We found the property easily and we were met by Allan the host. We were shown all the amenities and outlay of the property including Hot Tub , with precise and helpful instructions. The beds were extremely comfortable with spotless linen. The property was spotless clean and boasted every amenity you can imagine. It was the perfect property and location for our family Christmas. Highly recommended.

I absolutely loved my stay and would love to return later in the year. I felt completely at home and relaxed for a while without the demands of life chasing my heels!

We had a lovely 2 night stay. The location was easy to find, very peaceful, cosy and quiet. Check in was very well explained and instructions for during our stay were clear. So lovely to have found somewhere perfect to get away with a friend and my big GSD. Tesco superstore 20 minute drive away so we got in what we needed. We did not meet our host (which is a shame as she sounds to be a lovely person) but we took this as a compliment on our part :) We visited Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and Tyneham Village. So many more places to explore! I will certainly be back. I’ll even be happy to come on my own with the dog as felt very safe and relaxed. Tips for future visitors would be - take some slippers. There is space to leave shoes and coats by the door (we had slippers with us) it was very bad wet weather when we arrived and was nice to keep everything soggy on the mat by the door and hang coats up. The Countryman Inn pub we visited, food was very overpriced and disappointing!!

We had a wonderful stay. Jo is such a lovely host, our 5 year old has a wonderful time feeding the chickens and playing with ruby the dog. When we left he said ‘I miss Jo’. Looking forward to our next visit already.

We stayed at Crin's over Xmas whilst visiting relatives nearby and it was exactly what we needed. Communication was great with Crin, she was warm and welcoming. The property was great for a walk around with our 4 year old to burn off some energy.

The White House is stunning. It has so much character and we felt privileged to be allowed to stay there. The rooms are gorgeous and full of beautiful furniture. The bedrooms were delightful with the most comfortable beds and crisp clean bed linen. Within the house, there is a mix of old and new with a gorgeous kitchen with 2 walls of glass patio doors that allow you the best view possible of the cottage garden. There is also a collection of personal memorabilia in and around the rooms that kept us interested all weekend! Louise is a great host who met us there and showed us around and, most of all, entrusted us to stay at her house. The outside area is as pretty as a biscuit box and there is a flowing brook in front of the house with a little bridge to cross. The sunrise and views from the huge kitchen are so picturesque. We absolutely loved every moment at The White House. It was an experience we will never forget and will hopefully be returning one day.

We loved our stay in Bath. We loved the house and it was very convenient with parking outside and a park nearby. The beds were very comfortable and lots of downstairs space.

Great location - 5 minutes from the beach and town centre. The townhouse itself is quirky but functional, and one of the best stocked Airbnbs I've been in for a while. Lots of thoughtful touches like fresh scones, huge coffee selection and bacon and eggs in the fridge. Would definitely recommend for couples, small families and dog owners!

We had a wonderful stay. The Lodge is beautiful and has everything that we needed as a family of four. The Lodge was clean and inviting and Gary is an excellent host. Gorgeous views, loads of space for the kids to play and a brilliant hot tub too. Thank you!

We had a wonderful weekend at Valerie's lovely flat. The place was spotless and in a great location. Lovely thoughtful touches throughout. We would recommend the Black Swan and the Parade fish and chips - both fabulous. The dog was well catered for as well!

My wife and I had the most relaxing time at the "Condo" it was a great location to explore, the property was just perfect for the two of us and had everything we wanted for the weekend. It was clean and tidy with a wonderful log burner which was wonderful to sit in front of and listen to the wind and the rain on an evening. Jacqui was very responsive and helpful. The black dog just down the hill was welcoming and does the best Sunday lunch. A great find!!

This lodge truly is a gem, hidden away near the top of the holiday park such that when you're looking out you barely realise you on the park. The views are spectacular looking across Swanage and the Purbecks and you can regularly see the steam train heading up and down the valley. Close to the beach as well as many other local attractions the location is again spot on. The lodge itself felt like a ski chalet, way more space then the photos suggest and also extremely cozy with very comfortable beds and some fantastic original beach themed art on display. To add to all of this is the loverly Judith, our host, who provided some very clear instructions to get to the accommodation and was then very helpful on things to do in the area as well as quick to respond; we felt very welcome! Truly a Gem tucked away, thank you again Judith!

We were a group of 15 friends and family - adults, teenagers and children - celebrating new year together. The property suited us perfectly and had everything we needed for a great few days. The location is excellent for the Jurassic coast beaches and Lyme Regis.

This is our second time staying in this lovely caravan. It’s always pristine and lovely. I always felt like a home away from home there. The bedrooms are a good size and the extra full bathroom is a definite plus! I’d highly recommend staying here.

Emily’ place is amazing and she’s an amazing host 👍🏻

Superb little place to stay, very cosy, was lovely to find the heating on ready so all toasty when we arrived on November chilly evening after a long drive down. Nice little welcome basket and Milk in the Fridge too ! Great seating area to chill out and watch TV or have a Nap. We had a great few days just walking Berry Head and surrounding areas and some nice Food in Brixham by The harbour. Have added it to our Favourites list for potential return trip as it seems to let late in the year when we prefer to take short breaks. Defiantly would recommend to anyone asking. Thanks so much Paul and Clare.

Just back from a lovely stay at The Elms. Jan was very helpful and friendly and the info on the app was really handy. The accommodation is easy to find and set in stunningly beautiful surroundings, the gardens are gorgeous and I can imagine it’d be paradise in summer with the swimming pool (obviously not in use in Feb!) The Elms was lovely and cosy and has everything you need to make yourself at home. The beds were lovely and comfy, plenty of hot water and spotlessly clean throughout. We drove to most of the local places of interest and didn’t get to walk much of the surrounding countryside due to the weather but I’m sure there are some beautiful walks to be had in the area. The local chippy was nice and there’s a CoOp just down the road which was handy. All in all a great stay, thank you Jan!

We had a great stay, the house has everything you need and George and Gill were always on hand if we needed anything
