Easy to find. Helpful hosts. A good overnight stay which was exactly what we needed. Thanks!

I stayed with Simon for one night as I was travelling down to Plymouth. Simon's house is located on a quiet main road with plenty of parking available nearby, there's a pub across the road which also does food or for more choice travel back into the town which is walking distance. The room was comfortable and clean with the bathroom next door. Simon was helpful and accommodating, a great host.

Simon was a great host, the room was clean and tidy and the pub directly opposite proved a great place for a pint and some decent food.

is very ok this home :) thanks a lot simon

very comfortable bed and exactly what we needed!

Great location, clean and tidy room, helpful and charming hosts, gorgeous cat, great price! what more can i say! LOVE IT!

Simon and Judith are very friendly and welcoming. Everything provided, comfy bed and off street parking. Would definitely stay again.

Simon and Judith have been absolutely splendid hosts. We quickly booked on the same day aswe had planned to arrive, and they answered almost immediately to our booking. They were really felxible with us - especially with us being late to check in which we felt terribly sorry for! They kindly waited for us with a warm welcome and quick tour around the house. They even asked if we have had dinner! Then they helped us out with locating all our options for a Sunday evening meal fix! Our car could be parked next to his in a fenced area which made us feel really safe and secure. Although it was a short visit, we were really enjoying our stay and it felt nice to have Simon wave us goodbye in the morning when we were leaving! Thank you very much!

So many little touches that made our stay so enjoyable . The room and bathroom spacious . The breakfasts provided each guest with their own choices . Fabulous hostess . Excellent

Wow! What a fantastic place to stay and brilliant hosts! First up, the house: immaculately clean, homely and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with tea in our own private living room (with sky and good wifi) and we instantly felt relaxed and excited for the days ahead. The rooms (a double and a single ) are lovely and large, comfortable a beds, and the en-suite to the double was spotlessly clean. The breakfast, complete with locally sourced food, including 918 coffee, was perfect and got us ready for the day ahead. We also had a lot of great advice on dog friendly restaurants nearby (the coppleridge inn was very good). As we have an elderly dog that can be a bit grumpy with other dogs, Cleo ensured the lovely dog, Peggy, was segregated from our dog - which was a very nice touch. The hot tub is huge and perfect to soak your tired muscles in the evening (the garden is also very peaceful and well looked after). We managed to get to Lyme Regis in just about one hour (and easily managed to fit in Lulworth cove and the walk to durdle door in the same day). There is a one stop, Asda and Waitrose nearby for provisions. Finally, a mention of Cleo: a wonderful person with plenty of time and helpful advice, partnered with the very funny Steve and adorable dog, Peggy. Cleo made the trip that extra bit special and we do hope to return one day soon.

We had a lovely time in Dorset with Cleo and Steve. They were the perfect hosts. When we arrived there was a cup of tea and cake waiting us. We had our own living room, and the bedroom was fabulous.Everything was nice and clean, and the roses in our bedroom was lovely. We had a choice for breakfast.We especially enjoyed the rhubarb and Greek yogurt. They were very helpful in advising us of places to visit, and places to eat. The hot tub was very relaxing.We stayed with Cleo for 4 nights. We will definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone. They are friendly and helpful.

We stayed at Sunflowers for two nights for a wedding in Gillingham - we were so impressed by the large room and en suite, the very convenient location but most of all my Cleo as a host - she was so welcoming, warm and helpful, both in communication beforehand and during our stay. We sadly didn't have time to use the hot tub this time, but it looked very appealing! The highlight has to be the breakfasts - the continental option could include pastries, cereals, and stunning fruit parfaits, but we also choose to upgrade to some of the special cooked options which were delicious and so well presented. It was clear to us that Cleo absolutely loves hosting and cooking, and we would absolutely return in the future. Thank you Cleo!

We stayed at Cleo and Steve's for one night and had a great and relaxing time. Both hosts are very welcoming and nothing is any trouble. Great amenities also, from generous coffee/tea making facilities, toiletries to the lovely hot tub. We also enjoyed breakfast, good quality local food and drinks were provided. We found the location great as a base to explore Dorset. About 30 minutes from Longleat and about an hour from the cost. Recommend a trip to the Lulworth Cove. We also had a lovely dinner at the South Street Kitchen, only 5 minutes walk. Thank you Cleo & Steve!

This BnB is excellent.

Cleo made us feel incredibly welcome in her beautiful home. There's not one thing she hadn't thought of. Would thoroughly recommend and am thinking of a reason to return to gillingham so we can stay again!

Great place, highly recommanded!

Made to feel very welcome and shown around . Offered refreshment on arrival and safe off-road parking . Very nice decore to accommodation and nice for it to be self contained . Lovely cooked breakfast in the morning .

This is a gorgeous place to stay in Gillingham. The accommodation is in a chalet in Tina's garden, which is very quiet. The bedroom, living area and bathroom were all great sizes and Tina was very helpful throughout our stay. It is a 15 minute walk into the centre of Gillingham and 20 minutes from the station.

Tina was a great host. The room was perfect for one night stay. Plenty of room to park at night. Room was in great condition and clean.

Tina's annex is beautifully clean and had everything I needed. Perfect location for a wedding nearby. Big double with lots of space: good value for money. Thank you very much.

Nice friendly welcome and really easy to find. Nice to be able to have a cup of tea straight away :)

Relaxing overnight stay for two weary cyclists en route from Bath to Bournemouth. Friendly host, lots of info in advance and great breakfast

Went back for a second and third visit, Clive is just a gentleman, with a great house and a lovely set of African parrots.

Decent location and nice place to stay

Clive needs to put up a better image, the room and the accomodation is much more beautiful that the image on display.

Very clean and comfortable. Clive was a great host, the description was accurate and everything I needed was there.

Beautiful home, much better than the images on the website, and Clive, what a man?, always with a smile.

Marianne and Brian have created a lovely tranquil spot and I enjoyed staying in the Woolfields Barn. It is well set up and I had everything I could possibly need from my week stay. I found both Marianne and Brian friendly and keen to assist me have a happy stay - they even took my washing in off the line for me when rain threatened. Thoroughly enjoyable stay in total peace.

What a lovely and comfortable flat! It is warm, attractactively decorated, full of books that we would love to have had time to read, and has a comfortable bed that I was most reluctant to wave goodbye to. Marianne and Brian are great hosts who made us feel welcome. Fresh flowers, fruit, and a welcome note were there on our arrival, as well as some delicious chicken, shortbread and other goodies. I don't know who made the Napolean's chutney, but it was very tasty. The location was ideal for the places we wanted to visit by car, especially Sherbourne, Shaftesbury, etc.

Marianne made us feel very welcome. The property description was accurate, there is everything you could need. We had a great weekend stay at Woolfields Barn and would be happy to return in the future.

We had amazing time at Woolfields Barn. Marianne and Brian were incredibly kind and made us feel very welcome. The accommodation was a very high standard and perfect for our needs. We would definitely go back and stay at Woolfields Barn in the future. Thank you Marianne and Brian!

We stayed here for a week in November and really enjoyed it. The barn is lovely - very cosy but still with plenty of space for two people. It has everything you'd need for a short or long term stay. Marianne is a fantastic host - thank you for our bottle of wine on arrival!

Mariannes place at Woolfields Barn is a wonderful place to stay. It is very homely, spotlessly clean and in a great location to explore the sensational Dorsett region. Marianne and Brian were very friendly and welcoming hosts. All communications went smoothly. This is a great property to stay at.

We really enjoyed our stay at Marianne's barn. The cottage itself is super cozy, clean, peaceful and well equipped with an amazingly convenient location, literally few miles from towns, supermarkets, local pubs and restaurants! Our dog has certainly enjoyed her walks around the farm too! Marianne is also a superb host, from the very beginning of booking to arranging key while they are also away, everything was well organised and hassle free! Although we didn't have the honour to meet her in person, we will for sure consider stay at her place again in the near future! At the meanwhile, we wish her very best luck for the coming new year! Healthy and fortunate! Regards, Tianyi, David and Balady x

To say that the cottage is quiet barely conveys the complete absence of traffic or other background noises that normally pollute our daily lives. The bed was one of the most comfortable we have enjoyed away from home. Though the kitchen is well appointed we barely used it with all the excellent eateries in the area, evening booking advised. "Visit Hillbrush" is just 6 minutes north serving food from breakfast until afternoon tea in a very clean environment.

Thank you for your hospitality Cleo. You are really getting out of your way and put the accent on each little details to make us feel like home .. but in better! Was a pleasure spending this new year at yours and hope we can visit very soon! Thanks again, Flo and Cla

We had a great stay at cleos lovely sunflower house the room was lovely lots of nice extras like tea and coffee and chocolates, flowers in the room the highlight of our stay was the jucuzzi, i feel really grateful to Cleo for her kind extra touches,

Great place to stay in Gillingham. Excellent breakfast and comfortable lodging, although the room may is a bit tight for two people. Walkable to the town center with a few restaurants to choose from. Cleo is a great host and would stay here again.

We had a lovely two night stay in Dorset for a friend's wedding. Cleo was a friendly, generous, and helpful host. Our room was spotless and very nicely furnished, with enough books to keep you occupied for a very long time! The highlight of the stay had to be Cleo's cooking though, she clearly loves what she does and is very good at it, offering a great variety of very yummy things. Thanks for our stay : - ).

Beautiful home, immaculately clean and perfect hosts (Inc Peggy and the cats!!)

Super warm welcome and the nicest host ever. The tub is a treat for sure but so are the little details in the room and bathroom.

Lovely, cosy house in a quiet residential area. It is less than 10 minutes walk from the High Street. Cleo & Steve are fantastic hosts. They kindly offered me a lift from the station and were very patient with my ever later arrival time (my train turned into a bus!), and even went above and beyond by offering to drop me off at an event I was on the verge of missing because of the late trains/buses. They were an oasis of calm after a very stressful journey.

What a wonderful place to stay home from home with lots of special treats. Loved the spa with birthday prosecco while relaxing in the bubbles. Cleo was very kind thoughtful and made our stay very personal. Breakfast was amazing. Recommend to everyone.

Really great host, great location and perfectly as described. Would definitely stay again

Lovely clean accomadation in a beautiful setting. Plenty of space for our family. We enjoyed our stay and felt very welcome.

Great accommodation

One night only but very comfortable, quiet and beautiful location. There were three of us and the sofa bed was very comfortable for the third person. An hour's drive from the coast but a very nice and scenic drive.

Spotless place and Gill is very helpful. Quiet and recently redecorated, it enjoys nice views and is close to several quaint villages. Would definitely stay there again.

Superb location! Great host and comms. The furnishings were excellent - a great stay. Thanks.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Fabulous cottage with everything you could need, wonderful quality linen and towels, very comfortable, great host. Peaceful, lovely location. Would highly recommend a stay here.

If you want a rural break in an extremely well equipped farm cottage this is the place for you. Annabel was a great host and provided some tasty extras for our stay.

We lived our stay at Annabel's place. Lovely cottage with lots of room, and what a gorgeous garden! Could've stayed forever. Really comfortable rooms with everything we needed and more. Annabel was super friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend for a peaceful gettaway with access to beautiful countryside on the doorstep. Thanks Annabel!

Lovely quiet place

Annabel was a great host. Cottage exceeded our expectations. Would highly recommend

My second time back, with my husband and young son. We loved it.

We had a very enjoyable stay in Wendy's house. Bedroom was large and bright, with good bathroom attached, and looks out onto leafy garden. Breakfast good. And Wendy is a delightful and friendly host with many interests ranging from travel and languages to horses and cats. Motcombe is just outside Shaftesbury, pleasant village with one pub which has excellent food. Would certainly stay here again when next in the area.

We had excellent communication with Rachel before our arrival, giving detailed directions to their property; also during our stay with recommendations for local activities and pubs. The property itself is in a fantastic location, very quiet area overlooking fields, and having Alpacas for neighbours! It was very comfortable - especially the bed - and was fully equipped for our short Easter break. Rachel asked us about bread and milk she would get for us, but were amazed to also find duck eggs, hot cross buns, wine in the fridge for us. Unfortunately, the weather was not great over most of our stay, but we did make use of the deck on one afternoon, which was lovely in the sunshine. We look forward to returning in nice weather!

Rachel's home is set on a hill overlooking the beautiful Dorset country side. It's completely separate to the main house and is self contained with a dish washer, washing machine, bath, etc. It looked brand new and we certainly enjoyed sunsets on the patio and a walk through the horse field to a lovely pub. We are quite independent travellers so this place suited us well as Rachel and her husband were friendly, helpful and gave us space to enjoy ourselves. They were flexible to allow two of our family members join us at last minutes notice, providing towels and another bottle of wine for the balcony. I would suggest that if you are an international visitor it is best to bring a wifi dongle as there is no wifi, however the pub does have some you can use if you need to plug in! The fridge was well stocked and there is a shop about 10 minutes drive to pick up any additional essentials. Thank you for a fantastic and relaxing week!

To all travelers aiming for a quintessential English countryside experience, look no further. Amazing value, stunning location, fantastic views, quiet, private and with everything on hand to make your stay a memorable one. Your own deck, a BBQ to accompany the sunset vista over the rolling hills beyond your back door. We couldn't have asked for more. Rachel was the perfect host and helped with suggestions for local country pubs a short walk from her property. All in all a great experience, highly recommended. We're looking forward to our next opportunity to visit when we're back in the area.

I have only good things to say about my stay with Rachel and Andrew. Right from the start, Rachel was fantastic to communicate with and incredibly helpful. She advised me on cab numbers and places to pick up groceries, and was very friendly and welcoming. The place itself was lovely. Such a stunning view from the decking (they weren't lying about the sunsets) and kitted out really beautifully. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the facilities were fantastic. I was surprised and delighted by the fact that the kitchen was already well stocked with tea, bread, milk, eggs, butter, fruit juice, etc. and even a bottle of wine! Rachel had warned me that they were having a pool party on the Sunday so I was expecting a bit more noise, but what I wasn't expecting was to actually be invited to join them! Their friends and family made me so welcome, and they made a real effort to include me in conversation. I had a lovely afternoon, with plenty of food and booze. It was a great way to end my weekend stay. I'd gone to Tunnel Head for a chance to relax and recharge my batteries, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to be. I got home feeling rested and relaxed, and is if I had made new friends. Thanks guys!

A wonderful retreat. Beautiful views from the patio. Extra mattress for additional guests and courtesy additional clean linen an groceries. With the wonderful weather we could have been in the south of France. Comfortable, clean, relaxing.

Lovely week staying at Rachel's fabulous cottage, with stunning views. Rachel's communication was excellent throughout the whole process. We had a very busy week with the area and the cottage was a lovely retreat to recharge batteries.

What a wonderful long weekend break! The property is lovely with beautiful views of the countryside - which I enjoyed on the deck reading a book taking in the afternoon sun. Highlight of my stay is being visited by their friendly dog Alfie. He is beautiful, friendly and likes playing fetch :) Rachel and her husband were very accommodating with breakfast essentials and even purchasing a BBQ for our stay - which we enjoyed both nights THANK YOU! The property is easy to find and Rachel sent us photos with instructions regarding location which was very helpful. Rachel stayed in contact throughout the trip making sure we didn't need anything but left us to our privacy. Location is fantastic and away from busy roads etc. There is a large Morrisons that we used which was only a short drive away and Shaftesbury is close by and well worth the visit. We used this as a base for exploring the Jurassic Coast and would stay here again and recommend to my family and friends.

The host canceled this reservation 6 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

What a little gem. Thank you Bryan and Kate for a lovely stay. We were three adults staying in a double and single room, both beds and pillows were really comfortable and we all had a good nights sleep. It was great to have tea and coffee making facilities which enabled us to have tea in bed in the morning listening to bird song. Breakfast was taken in a wonderful light and airy room overlooking the garden. Breakfast was a real treat consisting of cereal, yoghurt, continental meat and cheese and warm rolls with fresh coffee. Our hosts were lovely and we would have loved a longer stay. We would highly recommend this as a place to stay and would certainly return if we were in the area.

They were the prefect hosts. Flexible, sincere and willing to accommodate our needs. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone liking for a place to stay in the area.

Well equipped B&B with lovely hosts and a great continental breakfast.

We were made to feel very welcome during our stay at Glebe cottage. Bryan and Kate are excellent hosts and we felt they really enjoyed looking after us. Their home is in a very quiet village but is just 2 miles from Shaftesbury and we would not hesitate to stay there again. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts they provided, as well as the attention of their magnificent cat!

Beautiful home, we had a fantastic time here! Perfect for a country stay near Shaftsbury. Stayed here with my sister while touring Dorset. Brian and Kate were really welcoming, helpful with dinner suggestions nearby and provided a really excellent breakfast each morning. The rooms were very comfortable, bright and clean and the whole house and garden was beautiful. Would love to stay here again next time I'm in the area.

The house is really beautiful and clean. Hosts were really nice and welcoming with a nice breakfast in the morning.

Katie and Bryan were wonderful hosts. They have a beautiful home and were very welcoming. They live 5 minute drive from Shaftesbury, 35 minutes from Winchester and 20 minitues from Stourhead. They were easy to contact and talk to, very accomodating and friendly during our stay. We would highly recommend them.

Lovely, comfy bed and fab hosts - we'll be back!

Andy and his partner were extremely welcoming and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Dorset!

Thanks for having us

We stayed here as we had a local wedding to attend. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, even offering us a lift up to the local venue we were attending. The room was neat, tidy and offered everything we needed including an ensuite. The bed was possibly the comfiest I've ever slept in.

Lovely warm welcome from the host and a great night's sleep, so peaceful with an amazing dawn chorus, happily stay there again.

Such an unusual location and fascinating old building. Loveliest host ever! Felt like an instant new friend.

A lovely house, in a peaceful location, with a helpful host. A good combination.

Great hosts, as expected. Short stay as attending a wedding in local establishment. Would recommend.

I stayed at Sarah's place for one night whist doing a long weekend of cycling. Its a really quirt and peaceful place to stay with a super soft bed so got a great night sleep. There is a nice pub about 1 mile away if you don't want to go back up the hull into Shaftesbury.

This cosy cottage is gorgeous (even better than photos suggest) & was absolutely perfect for me, my husband & 3yr old daughter. Sophie & Alex have thought of everything (especially for kids - toys, baby monitor, bed guard etc) and were perfect hosts. Could happily spend a week here - lots to do in Dorset, but equally lovely just to chill in the peaceful cottage. Already planning a return visit.

We had the most brilliant stay at The Cider Mill. Being from NZ we have never had a winter Christmas before so we dreamt of spending Christmas in a cosy wee character cottage and this couldn't have been better. From the beautiful furnishings to the extremely well equipped kitchen and toasty fireplace the cottage exceeded our expectations expectations. It's in a fantastic location for exploring Dorset - an easy drive to lots of incredible foodie spots as well as Bath and the Jurrasic Coast. It's also incredibly well fitted out for families with children. And to top it all off Sophie and her family are a delight. We were so sad to leave and already can't wait to return!

it was a great weekend! quiet and peacefull as we were looking for! Sophie is a very helpfull host... the house is really nice and plenty of toys !no regret ... or maybe just when Time to leave was finally arrived !

Sophie was a warm and generous host during our stay at the Cider Mill. A fire was lit on arrival, maps were offered for walks as well as bikes. The whole stay was a haze of beautiful country walks, wine by the fireside and soaking in the coziness of the cottage. We had everything we needed, luxurious extras and full hearts. The perfect place.

We had a lovely week-end in this very comfortable and warm cottage in Motcombe. A pure delight and I must say the wood fire was very welcomed.

Anne and her husband were friendly and welcoming. The room was exactly as described, comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was excellent.

This is our first time using Airbnb and if this is what we can expect at other places it will decfinately not be the last !! Anne & Francois were the"Perfect" hosts and as for the property it was beautiful.Thankyou both

Anne and Francois were extremely flexible despite us being very late arriving owing to Holiday traffic! Comfortable room, lovely breakfast, beautiful garden and charming hosts. We also loved the Labradoodle! Highly recommended.

We were greeted outside on arrival with a friendly welcome and personally shown to our room which was well furnished and decorated and exactly as described on the web site. The double bed was very comfortable. The following morning a delicious full English breakfast was served in a lovely dining room which overlooked the picturesque back garden with fields beyond.

My wife and I spent one night at Anne and Francois lovely bed and breakfast on the outskirt of Shaftesbury. Francois kindly drove us into Shaftesbury in the evening and gave us lots of good tips on where to eat. The room was spacious and the bed was really comfortable. We loved the breakfast in the dining room where we could admire the beautiful garden and watch the wild rabbits playing in the morning sun. We would have loved to have stayed longer.

A welcoming and warm home. We were travelling to Dorset for a wedding which was nearby. Anne and Francois were helpful and accommodating with all aspects of the visit. The house is beautiful and the breakfast was extremely tasty.

Anne was the consummate hostess. Welcoming and providing such a lovely breakfast at my convenience. The fundamentals were perfect. Easy to find, quiet, comfortable mattress and an excellent big high pressured shower. Great stay to be repeated. Many thanks.

Had a wonderful stay at the B&B, Anne and her partner were great hosts and were very welcoming. The room was a good size and incredibly clean. It was the perfect place for us and exactly what we were looking for. The breakfast was also great and Anne caters to your eating habits. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice country getaway.

We have just returned from a lovely 3 night stay in Jenny's beautiful cottage. The property itself was very comfortable with a high quality interior design and fitted out for your every need. We enjoyed walking in the nearby woods and Shaftsbury is all but a 10 minute drive away where there are lots of lovely pubs and restaurants. Jenny was there for our arrival and had a welcome pack ready for us including bread, milk, jam and scrumptious flap jack which was a lovely touch. We have stayed in this area before and will certainly be coming back in the future.

Jenny was really helpful and welcoming and the accommodation was charming, with everything we could want. Lovely location, easy to find with plenty of splendid walks nearby.

We had a great stay in the annex. It was clean and comfortable and very well equipped. It is super quiet, but only a five minute drive from Shaftesbury, great pubs and a cracking farm shop. There are lovely walks from the front door and the scenery is simply stunning. Jenny did a great job of being on hand but not invading our privacy. The bread, milk, butter and jam were an unexpected bonus and the tasty cake stopped our tea being too wet! Wouldn't hesitate to come back.

The cottage is set in an ideal location right on the edge of the woods and stunning countryside. We were so lucky to be there at bluebell time - it's fabulous. Jenny was such a great host and really looked after us even bringing us some salads when we couldn't get to the shops. The cottage is small but well equipped and cosy. Jenny had provided a range of great films too. Lovely relaxing stay - thank you

Just lovely. Very comfortable, well equipped and charming cottage in a beautiful rural location. Jenny was the perfect host, right there if we needed anything but otherwise left us to enjoy our stay. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic few days on Jenny's farm. Lovely remote setting and a beautiful farm to run around and explore. Our 3 year old particularly loved the box Duplo in the living room. Jenny was a great host, very welcoming and had lots of tips on what to do in the surrounding area. Highly recommended, would definitely stay again!

We had a lovely bank holiday weekend at this cottage. It was very comfortable and a lot of thought has been put into making sure you have everything you need. The welcome pack was great esp the Brownies. Nice countryside and we particularly enjoyed the woods behind the house. Thanks Jenny!

Jenny's house is superb! It is located about 10 minutes drive from Gillingham/Shaftesbury in the beautiful countryside. The annex house itself is very nicely decorated and clean with all the modern amenities needed. Jenny is helpful and flexible, and her daughter and son invited me to their Friday firework which was such a kind gesture and lovely surprise. Jenny also stocked the fridge with milk butter bread jam and the kitchen got tea coffee olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Overall a lovely weekend get away that I will definitely return to (hopefully not to long) and recommend to weekenders.
