"Stillness was a lovely property which had everything we needed while visiting family. It's set in a beautiful area and there are lots of lovely touches around the grounds, such as giant chess, woodland walks and a Forget me not garden. The property was small but perfect for us, I didn't realise the back gate and through the garden was the only entrance, this was a little challenging to navigate with my nervous rescue dog when the daily hot tub maintenance was due to happen, but this only took...

Our 3‑night stay in this apartment was truly exceptional. We’ve travelled to more than 30 countries, and this is honestly the best accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. The apartment is large, beautifully designed, and has everything you could possibly need. It was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. With three bedrooms, a spacious dining and living area, and three toilets (two with bath facilities), the apartment is ideal for families. Although we were just three people, it can easily...

Great flat close to the beach and amenities. We really appreciated the small detailes the host added to our stay like free coffee pods, milk, chocolate and a bottle of prosecco. Kitchen is well equipped and apartment is small but quite comfortable Only one small note, it would have been great to have some blackout blinds in the open kitchen/lounge as the room is quite bright due to street lights and for those sleeping on the sofa bed it might be an issue. Also, we discovered that the free...

The Cottage

Wimborne

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful cottage, really huge lounge and lots of fields around. Host Dawn was super helpful and the cottage had everything you needed. The showers were great and super clean, I always found that the pictures always look better than the actual place when you arrive, but this was even better in person. This is our first time renting a cottage rather than a hotel, and we're taking our puppy. We will be back with the whole family this time to enjoy it again.
