Family-friendly vacation rentals in Fordingbridge

An absolutely dreamy escape for two! complete with scenic views, and enough special touches to feel at home. Fiona made everything so comfortable and we look forward to coming back!

Stunning spot with great Glamping facilities. We loved the log fired sauna and hot tub. The site is carefully fenced so our Cockerpoo could charge around without us having to worry about livestock. Lovely area - which we know well and loved reconnecting with.

Amy’s cottage was very cosy! Great location with the Buddle inn nearby for a delicious dinner. The cottage was more than big enough for our family of five and we had a hugely restful and enjoyable stay. We’ll be back!

We booked The Stables for a couple of nights, including for it to be used as the bridal getting ready space on the morning of our recent wedding, as it is only 10 mins from Priston Mill. It was absolutely perfect and Nancy went above and beyond to help make it work for us including making space on the drive of the main house to allow wedding suppliers to park. The space was light and bright and surrounded by a gorgeous garden and it felt really private and peaceful. It was very well equipped with everything you’d need and actually seemed a larger space in person than in the pictures! Special thanks go to Nancy for making it extra special for our wedding and including some lovely bubbly in the fridge which was a really thoughtful touch.

Our stay was fabulous! We had the best time and the lodge was stunning. Everything we asked for. Mark and Maria were wonderful hosts and very accommodating. We would be definitely staying here again.

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

Definitely recommend Sam’s beautiful house. Immaculately kept garden with hot tub and huge trampoline which kept the children busy. All rooms with clean and had everything that we needed. Beds very comfortable and bathrooms were clean and showers etc all in good order. Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at Victoria’s! The house was spotless and had everything we needed including baby things (travel cot, high chair and stair gate). The garden was completely enclosed which meant we were able to let the dogs off their leads while we sat outside. And wow the garden is a real sun trap! I would recommend the Barford Inn (4 min) walk for good pub grub and a nice outdoor area. We also spent the afternoon in the grounds of Wilton House which has a fantastic playground for toddlers and kids and a lovely cafe. Three nights wasn’t long enough so we’re hoping to come back in the near future!

Ingrids place is probably one of the best airbnbs we have stayed in. The location is idyllic, completely surrounded by fields and chalk streams but villages within walking distance. It has everything, and more, in terms of facilities and equipment. The bed linen was of a high quality which added to a great night sleep ( something I struggle with even at home!). The furniture and decor was stylish but homely. And the garden beautiful. I loved them. Ingrid was so friendly and helpful. We were attending a wedding locally and not only did she help with providing us with a reliable taxi driver but drove us to the venue herself which was so lovely of her. Yes...the track on arrival is a bit precarious but it should not put you off...go slowly and its fine...and well worth it when you get there

My family and I had such a wonderful visit to the lodge, such peaceful surroundings and plenty of space. Excellent host and everything is so well organised. We greatly enjoyed our visit and would love to spend more weekends away at this perfect Airbnb. Our son particularly like the garden area and surrounding walks. Thank you Luisa! Best Wishes

Absolutely fabulous! The location was perfect, the accommodation was spotless, comfortable and equipped with everything you could think of and the patio was a lovely area to sit in and appreciate the view of the conservation area and sea. Joy was very friendly and welcoming, we appreciated the personal touches she had provided throughout the accommodation, as well as the very generous welcome basket. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much that we ate in most evenings rather than venture into Weymouth!

We stayed at The Barn for my 70th birthday with all our immediate family for four nights from Saturday 7th June to Wednesday 11th June. Sarah was very helpful from the very start and even provided me the name of a company who could provide a private chef to come in to cook for us all on my birthday. The Barn was wonderful, location excellent, grounds lovely to walk round. It was easy to go to Ringwood for supplies. Great to be able to travel 30 minutes to Kingston Lacy, Exbury Gardens, the sea at Mudeford Quay and of course walk in the New Forest. Our 3 year old granddaughter loved seeing the horses in the grounds and everyone but me, the 3 year old and new baby went on the zip wire! Finally, I must say that the welcome hamper and provisions left in the fridge were amazing and above what you would normally expect. I cannot recommend staying at The Barn highly enough. Thank you Sarah for providing such lovely accommodation.

We had another beautiful stay at Maxine’s place. It’s so peaceful and quiet there, great for our 2 young girls and 2 labradors with a huge enclosed garden. Plenty of walks and nice pubs within a short driving distance and only 20 minutes from Paultons Park and Peppa Pig world! Maxine is very friendly and popped by to ensure we had everything we need. Will definitely be staying again!

The way this house is set out ready for guests is amazing. It has just about everything you could want, the lay out over 2 floors with a lounge at ground and 1st floor level meant that if someone wanted to watch TV others could read or chat in comfort. The stair between floors are tight, so pack only what you need. Set within an easy 20 minute walk to the City Centre, with a nice Inn for food close by we didn't cook much, but did manage a full English Breakfast without any problems. The host, Alex, was very quick to reply to the 1 message we had to send, so we were confident that, if needed, we would get assistance quickly. My manager has said we will be bringing some our Grandchildren to Salisbury in the future, so watch out for the booking. Thank you for this beautiful cottage.

Matthew's property was perfect for myself and 2 friends. It's lovely and full of character, as well as well stocked with everything we needed (including a hairdryer, fan for the warm nights and some toiletries that we forgot). We enjoyed chatting at the table overlooking the large well maintained and beautiful garden on the sunny evenings. It was easy to find, very central in the New Forest, off the high street in the lovely Beaulieu village. It was exactly what we were looking for. We constantly saw horses on our drive to and from the property which just felt magical. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Amanda and Chris, have a beautiful flat it was in an excellent location with lots of amenities and close to the beach. Amanda’s instructions were clear and the extra information provided was extremely useful. I would definitely recommend a visit, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Our family loved staying at the condo. Jacqui & Tony were extremely accommodating and answered all our questions in a speedy manner. The pool is a very nice touch to the air bnb. We used it once as the weather was very nice whilst we were there but definitely would’ve used more if the weather hadn’t been as good. Thanks Jacqui & Tony

We had an excellent week at this property. Lovely location, we enjoyed our walks down to the beach each day with our dog. Such a lovely buzz on the beach, very chilled. The open top bus from the site to Sandbanks and Poole was great. Our teenage daughter and her friend made use of this a couple of times to go shopping and explore a little on their own. We visited Corfe Castle, which was in a lovely place and parked on the Purbeck car park (rather than the actual Castle Car Park) which gave a lovely scenic walk through and passed over the Steam Railway. We visited Lulworth Cove and did the cliff top walk over to Durdle Door, which was an amazing site. Weymouth is beautiful, very sunny that day so perfect for a sea side resort. We took a look at the Beach Hut, in a great place, with a green area, Cafe and play park. Would work really well as a base for enjoying yourselves, especially if you have younger children. Great location and lots to see and do. Thank you

The views from Seascape are wonderful and added greatly to our holiday. From sunny breakfast on the deck to cosy evenings watching the sun set we found everything we needed and we felt at home straight away. The lodge was immaculate and Judith dealt quickly with the only issue we had when the oven had a fault, so our holiday was not impacted greatly. It's a 15 minute walk into Swanage with an uphill return or free 2 hrs parking next to the Co op if you spend £10 there. Altogether a perfect place to enjoy Swanage and explore the Isle of Purbeck.

This is our second time staying in this lovely caravan. It’s always pristine and lovely. I always felt like a home away from home there. The bedrooms are a good size and the extra full bathroom is a definite plus! I’d highly recommend staying here.

Catharine was an amazing host and Driftwood is absolutely beautiful in a perfect setting for our group get together. The hosts were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help, even accommodating an earlier check in for us. Could not recommend this stunning home enough!

We had a blissful few days at Flint cottage. Wonderful kitchen to cook in, and multiple fabulous farm shops nearby. We ordered a heat and eat pie and a DIY breakfast pack for our first night, which made the start of the holiday so much more chilled out. The outdoor bath was also really special. We were so comfortable throughout we just relaxed completely. Can’t wait to come back!

Thank you for the loan of your beautiful lodge,it was beautiful,clean,tidy and perfect for my 90 year old mum to enjoy her little holiday away with me,everything was as described and instructions were clear on getting to the park, checking in and checking out. Nicola and Georgie are fantastic hosts,very responsive and quick at replying if i needed anything,thank you again can not recommend this beautiful lodge and amazing views enough.

We absolutely loved our stay. The caravan was gorgeous, clean, and in a great location to watch the sea and squirrels. We did not want to leave, a perfect cozy home by the sea.
