Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Swanage

Just had a wonderful weekend staying here for my 50th birthday. It was more than what we expected. Photos don’t do the size of the rooms justice. So many things for the kids (and adults) to play with. The cup cakes and bottles of fizz was a lovely welcome. Sonia was a brilliant host and we would definitely come back.

Great stay, within walking distance of the beach, really clean and everything we needed was available for the stay! Great communication and information on the day of check in. Would definitely recommend and hopefully return in the future :)

Thank you Aimee & Paul. After spending the perfect weekend at your Airbnb, we clearly see and absolutely agree with why you’ll are super hosts!! From the communication, to the quality of the accommodation & amenities to the welcoming touches with Prosecco & snacks, your thoughtfulness just made our holiday perfect!! The decor was bright, modern & beautiful; the house and furniture was spotless and the house had everything you would need for a weekend getaway. We were 9 people and a dog and there was ample room for everyone. We couldn’t be happier. The only issue is that since this was our first Airbnb adventure, we’ve now got our bar set too high 😊 Thanks once again for allowing us a fabulous few days in Bournemouth in your beautiful house.

Really lovely house - nicely decorated and very clean, with great facilities. The location is a tiny bit out of the main centre, near the harbour, but this just means it was quiet and the harbour is probably one of the nicest part of Weymouth anyway. Communication was great. There are no curtains in the bedrooms and the front of the house gets a lot of sun (which is lovely!) - so could be an issue for light sleepers.

We stayed at Danni's for a local wedding, it was perfect. Loads of space and well equipped, had everything we needed for a great weekend!

Lovely place to stay, clean, comfortable with everything you need. Great location short walk to the coast, short drive to the new forest. We all had a fab mini break, dogs loved the walks

Jack's place is a real gem. Modern, well equipped and spotlessly clean. very peaceful quiet location with easy access to a park and walks to the beach. Very dog friendly. Great jacuzzi. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay at Sarah's house in Fordingbridge. There were 2 couples, one child and two dogs. The house is really spacious so you don't feel on top of each other. Sarah has thought of everything you might need with lovely little extras such as milk, coffee pods, bottle of fizz, dog biscuits and bowls. The games room is fun too with pool, ping pong and darts. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely book again.

Fabulous home for family’s, especially great for younger children and babies. Couldn’t fault the home or garden, even the pool was warm enough for the kids.

Lovely place, great amenities, clean and spotless and hassle free check in and out! Andy has been very communicative as well, would definitely love to come back again when the pool reopens!

Very homely and very well stocked caravan. Nice and quiet when we stayed. Parking space at the side big enough for 2 cars. Samantha was very helpful and very responsive to messages. Activity passes included making this a very reasonably priced place to stay.

Thank you for our stay 17-21 April 2025! We found our time enjoyable, space was clean and tidy, easy to find with clear instructions on what to do, the host messaged us details about check in etc and sent us a message on the day when caravan was ready, as it was ready earlier than the check in time so they sent us a message to let us know! Caravan had everything we needed to make the stay comfortable. Clean and tidy, with the added bonus of milk/biscuits/tea/coffee/sugar and toilet roll on arrival which is always a nice touch after a journey! we forgot to pack toys for our little one but was great to find a box of big lego and board games/cards available for us to use which went down well in the evenings, so this was great! Lots of places to visit locally all within a short drive - Blue Pool is a must as well as Corfe Castle and the steam train ride! This is our 2nd time staying on the Rockley Park site (stayed a few years ago) 1st time in this caravan but would highly recommend!

This place covers all the bases for a great stay for a big family get together! Excellent communications, nice welcome and then all the things to keep three families from ages 3-16 entertained. Private pool great, Games Room great, Hot Tub was spot on and actually hot (unlike so many that aren't)! Sauna probably needs some renovation love. Bedrooms great, enough space. Devonshire Arms nice food, Halfway House nice beer and vibes. All the ingredients for a place to kick back and have some much needed family time. Highly recommend!

We chose Jo's place as it was close to Charmouth (11 mins) and Lyme Regis (14 mins by car). Our 6 year old son wanted to go fossil hunting. We arrived at Jo's cottage and she was there to greet us. She is very friendly and welcoming as well as her lovely dog Ruby. Jo also provided us with a travel cot and a changing mat for our 3 month old baby boy too, which was helpful. Jo provided us with a wheel barrow to carry our belongings to the Duck House as it was a little walk round the cottage. It's cosy and had all we needed. Our son liked the children's room he slept in and enjoyed the toys/games provided. My partner and my son did go in the swimming pool, however it was cold for our baby to go into. Jo did provide some bread, home made marmalade (that was lovely), butter, jam and milk. There was no hot water when we woke but when we contacted Jo she was straight on it and sorted it before we went out for the day. We enjoyed our stay - Thank you Jo.

We made a last minute booking and Andy was extremely helpful with information and advice, and was very quick to respond to messages. He went over and above to make sure our stay was a good one. The accommodation was very comfortable and convenient and easy to find. Great location opposite a large grassy space with goal posts which was perfect for our kids. Would definitely recommend.

This was our second visit, our experience was nothing short of amazing. We were warmly greeted, the annex was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated, providing a relaxed, cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Jo and Andrew ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is perfect offering easy access to Branksome Woods to walk our dog and leads to the beach in 10 mins. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable Airbnb experience.

We had a few days staying here . It was so quiet and a lovely location , bed was very comfortable and had everything that we needed . We took our dogs and there were some lovely walks , also the garden of the bungalow was perfect for them , very secure. Thanks Lesley , we will be back 😄

A fantastic stay! Peaceful with plenty of walks right on the doorstep. Well equppied cottage and perfect for our dog too. Would definitely recommend!

A great place and lovely pad. We really enjoyed it and meeting you also. Look forward to coming back next year.

We were absolutely delighted to stay at this fabulously equipped and clean caravan. As soon as we arrived, we were taken with how well cared for it was. There were small details thought of, including a little welcome basket with an easter treat and decorations, which delighted the children. We have stayed in many Airbnb's over the years, but what stood out here was the attention to detail, including an extensive portfolio of suggested outings, restaurants and amenities. The park itself was charming, again well maintained. Our only comment with the Hobourne facilities was that the outdoor pool was closed for the majority of our stay, so we feel our leisure pass was not put to full use unfortunately. We also questioned Hobourne's decision for a day of noisy tree cutting during the Easter holiday! But that's nit picking. Would wholeheartedly recommend this Airbnb, we certainly will rebook. Thank you Sue and Denise

If you want a peaceful location that’s spotlessly clean then this is the place. Caroline was a fab host who was there if needed. Perfect location for both the Forest and the coast. We will definitely return.

The cottage is gorgeous and Virginie ensured we had everything we needed for a luxurious and cosy stay. The garden is perfect for a dog, and there are lots of lovely walks on the doorstep!

We booked this for 3 nights for a last minute break in the Easter Holidays. It was a lovely space for a family of 4 with everything we needed. The holiday park itself is very clean with plenty to do. You will need to pay for a pass to use the facilities (including the restaurant) which worked out £100 for a family of 4. The indoor swimming pool got very busy, however, I think this was because the outdoor pool wasn't open yet and it was a bit chilly for the beach - so I imagine that during the summer people spread out a bit more! We booked the The Beachcomber restaurant for our first evening. The food was ok but it was a fun place to eat as a little robot brings your food over. Overall, we had a lovely break and we would probably return in the future.

A lovely stay at Springwood, it was a nice home that was spacious, clean, safe and in a good location. Property was behind the residential address, but not too close that it felt imposing. A mixture of staying in as my son is preparing for his GCSE’s, and trying a few walks recommended in the welcome pack. A great place to relax and enjoy the countryside. The dog friendly Three Legged Cross pub, which is in walking distance (15-20 minutes) is welcoming, we all had a lovely meal there one afternoon. Would definitely recommend staying here for the all round qualities it has to offer.
