Family-friendly vacation rentals in Boscombe

A wonderful place to spend 3 nights on the edge of the New Forest. Fabulous accommodation. Private, quiet and superb barn which was really well appointed with great facilities including a separate spa room solely for our use. Chris was a lovely host, great communication before, during and after our stay.

What a lovely place. Absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to go back ❤️

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.

A really spacious and nice place - comfortable and with all the luxuries of a home but also like camping! The location is great - beautiful and really handy for Swanage, Wareham, Corfe - there’s so much to do and see. We absolutely loved the hot tub - this was our favourite feature and spent each morning and evening relaxing under the stars. Hours of family fun. The boiler wasn’t working when we arrived but the team at Reception were really helpful and sorted it out straight away for us. Martin wasn’t always quick to respond but we had accidentally booked the wrong dates originally and he was kind enough to change the booking for us so we didn’t loose out on our holiday. All in all a great stay and a great place!

We had a great stay at Maria and Marks - thank you! The cabin was homely and comfortable and we all enjoyed the hot tub! The location is fantastic and we appreciated the recommendations Maria provided! Visiting Moors Valley and getting the ferry over the Mudeford Spit / Sandbank for the beautiful beaches were our highlights!

We chose a long weekend the week before Easter. The house and the location matched our expectations and needs. Allan’s meet and greet on arrival was a warm welcome and informative. Brook House is a lovely home and we had a great stay. The spacious kitchen, bedrooms downstairs, wood burner and hot tub are real highlights. We enjoyed a BBQ and a Sunday Roast during our stay. The outdoor patio lights work very well to enjoy the garden in the evenings. The house is wonderfully located to explore the south coast and nearby attractions. We enjoyed a walk to the local club for drinks and live music. (Only available Fridays) on the first evening. We did a day trip to Brownsea Island which was fun. Moors Valley Country Park and Forest nearby offers a lot of options for a family Sunday outing. Our only fault was not staying a few more days!

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

My parents had an amazing one-month stay at Laura’s Airbnb! The apartment was exactly as described. Clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location was perfect, close to local shops, restaurants, and public transportation, which made exploring the area so easy. Laura was incredibly welcoming, quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free experience! Thank you, Laura

Lovely place to stay, great location for lovely walks and a short distance to an array of pubs and places to eat. Great base for exploring with lots to do close by. Comfortable cosy cottage, just as described. Would stay again.

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 such a wonderful stay, so much so we didn’t want to leave. Hilary was such a welcoming host and the cottage was so beautiful. Our whole family loved the cottage and we definitely want to come back. There’s so much to do in the area too. There’s lots of toys at the cottage for kids, including bath toys and a really cute outdoor kids dining table. Once the kids were in bed it was also so lovely and cosy for the adults. The pianos were also a great touch, we loved playing them and teaching the kids how to play. We would recommend the stay to everyone.

We had a wonderful family stay at Paul's AirBnB. The home is perfect for a family or friends trip. Great rooms, huge open plan kitchen/ living area and a larder for storage with washing machine/ dish washer. We honestly would give more than 5 stars if we could. If you're looking for a beautiful home, amazing views and great walks (or short drives) to local landmarks (or pubs!) then look no further. Our toddler (20 months) had a great time in the gated garden or using the New Forest as his play area, and was beside himself when the horses would walk right past the house. Paul was on hand to answer any questions we had, an excellent host! We'd absolutely stay again!

The Old School House was a beautiful retreat in a beautiful location. Justin couldn't have been more helpful and responsive, from the comprehensive list of places to shop and eat and things to do locally sent before we arrived to answering our questions speedily when we got there. There were nso many thoughtful touches around the house and we felt so welcome, it really was a home from home. We would highly recommend The Old School House to anyone wanting a getaway to the New Forest. Thank you!

Slight concern about parking but easy to unload by front door. Then spaces to park on Durlston Road and in evening there were spaces by front door :-)) moved cars down did not need to move them again so easy departure.

another great family holiday in our favourite place Dorset, and now a great place to stay lots to do in surroundings area and great clean well equipped house with all you could need to make your stay go smoothly check in was great with clear instructions in advance making it easy on arrival day . 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟 can't wait to rebook thank you

Perfect long weekend trip as a family of 3 (and dog) to the New Forest, big thanks to G&P for being wonderful hosts and sharing their very special home with us! Highly recommend this air bnb for anyone looking to spend time in nature and explore the New Forest!

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! Ashleigh

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.

Just the sort of place we were looking for - we visit relations in the area regularly. Mudeford Quay is close and is a great place to catch evening sun and meal. The beach Hut is a bit further (walkable) in the other direction and has excellent breakfasts and you can sit at tables on the beach! Caravan: WiFi is great, good TV, well appointed kitchen - and comfortable bed. Bella our Lurcher certainly enjoyed the stay. We didn't use the swimming pool, but it looks good.

Great location for a family break. Entertainment passes included. Kids will love the robots delivering food in the restaurant. Didnt try out the pool this time but looked great. Loved how close we were to the beach beautiful day and night, with stunning sunsets. Also enjoyed a walk around the nature reserve. Great base for getting out on our bikes. We absolutely love the new forest and this was a great base for a short stay. We'd happily stay for longer.

Highly recommended. The accommodation was perfect. Views were stunning! The weather was beautiful, which showed the area at its very best. The walks from the doorstep via the nature reserve to the coastal path are something special. Judith, the host couldn't have been more helpful. Look forward to returning sometime soon.

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

Tricia's instructions were very helpful with directions and getting to the caravan. There was a very usefull folder with information about Haven as well as the local area. The caravan location is excellent within the park, it was very peaceful and had amazing views of the harbour. Sunset was particularly beautiful from the decking. The caravan was exactly as pictured and described. It was pretty clean but there were areas that could have been cleaner. Apart from those minor issues we had a wonderful stay, a perfect mini break away with the kids. Thank you 😊

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
