Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ferndown

We absolutely loved our stay at the Orchard Cottage. New Forest is a place of outstanding beauty and there are so many lovely trails, pubs and activities around. The cottage itself was beautiful! Hot tub and sauna were also an added bonus. Chris was a brilliant host. He made sure we knew what we were doing with the hot-tub and was able to give us plenty of recommendations for what to do/pubs and a brilliant running track. He went the extra mile to make it special for us! Thank you so much :)

We really enjoyed our stay at the Stables. The hot tub was the real highlight and it was beautifully warm / clean. The property was amazing for children and our young boys loved the tree house climbing frame and being able to feed the sheep / goats. A great stay which we'd definitely recommend.

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

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Farm Shop. It was in a lovely location - you could explore lots of beaches and also walk from the doorstep in to the countryside and to the sea. It was clean and tidy and had all the things you would need for a comfortable stay. The hot tub was a great extra! Susie and Sarah were super responsive and helpful. We had a really lovely time, thank you.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Beautiful Lazy Lodge. Superb location 15 min walk to Avon beach & local amenities close by. Great to have the hot tub to make the most of those relaxing evenings, plus lovely not needing to go anywhere as it was such a relaxing vibe & having the kitchen there too was fab option for dining in. They were fantastic hosts & we had a really relaxing stay here throughly recommend!

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.

WOW, where to start! The surroundings are just incredible and so picturesque! The barn was just beautiful and fitted our needs perfect! Our son uses a wheelchair so having a bedroom downstairs a wet room was brilliant! Plus it was just so spacious! Sarah was an amazing host so friendly so approachable! Willing to answer any questions we had about the barn the horses the sheep, anything! Being able to go and see the horses everyday made our holiday! To be given that opportunity to get close to them and pet them was brilliant and something we will treasure! We will definitely be back as it met all our needs and was close to places that we like to visit! We had a fab time and came away knowing more about animals learning more about the place we stayed! So thank you Sarah, Neal & Hannah! AMAZING 😁

very friendly, replied v quickly to a couple of pre booking queries, hot tub brilliant...

Spacious three bedroom 2nd floor appartment. Lift located next to appartment front door. One parking space which can be seen from living room window. Lots of extras in appartment- eg shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet roll, hand soap etc which was a great addition. Further free parking around the corner on Derby Road. 10 min walk to Boscombe beach. Would thoroughly recommend and look forward to a return trip

If I could give extra stars beyond the 5 star rating, I really would. Hillary's AirBnB is beautiful, exactly what my wife and I needed and agreed it was one of the best places we've stayed at via AirBnB. Hillary allowed for an early check-in, was really communicative being friendly and helpful whenever we did communicate. Cannot recommend enough!

We had a wonderful stay, Paul was extremely helpful throughout the whole booking and helped to recommend different pubs for our dinner along with activities that were local. The house itself was wonderful, it had everything we wanted and more. The location of the house is in the new forest and very tranquil. We are hoping to return later this year for a stay with the children.

Fantastic accommodation in the heart of Swanage. Apartment is finished to a very high standard with beautiful décor. Everything works as it should and the under floor heating is a real treat in the morning when making breakfast!

Very well equipped and spacious. Great location for visiting the Isle of Purbeck.

What a fantastic oasis of tranquility to visit. Terry and Jenny are excellent hosts and could not do more for you. The huts were all styled beautifully and were spotlessly clean. The attention to detail is fantastic and Jenny has thought of everything. Sitting by the firepit at night, with a glass in hand listening to the owls was priceless. Florence, Hector and the dogs were just an added bonus. We will definitely return.

A real gem! We have a rule: “never go back to the same place, so we can keep exploring”. We might be tempted to break that rule after staying at GentleHart Barn. Gwyneth and Peter are so friendly and helpful, and the barn is truly a magical place for both adults and children. Everything was perfect. It’s the first time I’ve found absolutely everything I need for cooking while away from home — even the knives are sharp (something that never happens in rental places!). It’s just a few minutes’ walk to the start of superb woodland walks, where you’ll spot a multitude of birds. Thank you so much for the perfect break.

Terry and Amanda’s place was perfect for a short break in the New Forest. They catered for us well, including getting gluten free items for my partner. Good value for money.

We stayed here for my husband’s birthday as a family of two adults, three children, our small dog and my mother in law. It was a lovely clean spacious caravan with an amazing view. We had gorgeous weather which really was the icing on the cake. When we arrived it was easy to find and there were biscuits and cakes left for us by Caroline. We also went to Haven reception and they gave us free entertainment passes which meant we could visit the entertainment in the evenings with the children. We’d definitely love to stay again!

Gorgeous, well equipped house in peaceful surroundings. We wanted somewhere that we could unwind as a family after a busy few months with work and exams and this was perfect. Access to the pool was the cherry on the cake. Catherine and Sarah were great hosts.

Had a lovely break at Sandhills. The caravan was in a perfect spot with all the home from home comforts. Gareth and Marie were very helpful and prompt with any questions I had prior to our arrival. The park and surrounding area is very dog friendly and our dog loved her early morning walks on the beach.

Absolutely loved staying here! The place was incredibly clean, and the park had lots of things to do. Had an amazing sleep here as the beds were so comfortable, sheets were fresh and clean, and the environment was very quiet. Would stay here again!

What a diamond of a place you have here Judith! On top of holiday park overlooking the most stunning view of Swanage bay and surrounding countryside, almost 360 degrees!! The interior is very tastefully decorated and so comfortable. The beds were dressed with hotel quality, pure white cotton which gave an extra luxury feeling. Lots of table top games for all ages which would have been useful on rainy days but we were so lucky to have had brilliant sunshine throughout our stay! Just minutes drive from everywhere. Got to do the steami railway experience from Swanage. Kimmeridge fossil museum to see the largest ever intact fossil ever excavated! Favourite pub with outdoor views in Worth Matravers, The Square and Compass. Home made ciders, good beers and fab sausage rolls! Favourite fish restaurant, The Pier Head in Swanage. All in all, a fantastic place to stay and thanks to Judith a wonderful 5 star experience!

Lovely caravan in a beautiful location. So close to the beach. The caravan had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable.

Great venue and perfect for our family stay. Everything as described and wll definitely visit again.

The caravan was perfect. It was clean and well positioned. It was in a quiet area but only a short walk to the entertainment complex. There was a Sainsburys within 5 mins drive of the site which was very convenient too. The kitchen was well equipped and the place was clean and tidy when we arrived. The site was great for our children. The entertainment passes were very good value for money especially on those rainy days. Katherine was very helpful, answering all my questions and queries before we arrived. The walk to Avon beach was a favourite for us. Unfortunately the ferry to Hengistbury was not running from Mudeford but we were able to drive to Hengistbury and there is a bus which goes hourly from the site stopping at Avon beach and Hengistbury on its way to Poole. I would highly recommend this accommodation and it is in a beautiful location. We will certainly return. Thank you
