Pet-friendly vacation rentals in North Dorset District

Kelli rescued us last minute when the place we had booked left a lot to be desired. My booking enquiry was responded to immediately and the house lived up to all expectations the photos give. Beautiful decor, friendly hosts, all amenities you could ask for, lovely location, comfy beds, perfect hot tub and so much more. I would not hesitate to stay here again and would thoroughly recommend it. Made a great location for our girls weekend but would equally be suitable for a family stay.

A very beautiful and comfortable place to stay. Immaculate and full of beautiful furniture and books. Beds were very comfortable We found parking just outside. Bruton is a lovely town to walk around.

The Cheesehouse, belonging to Tamsin was the most beautiful Airbnb we have had the pleasure to stay in. Firstly, the communication before our break was timely and responsive. Check in was wonderfully simple and everything explained to us by our host who understood the need for a break away from everyday life! The house itself was beautiful. Clean, but homely; simple but had all the essentials and some luxuries. 😊We stayed on one of the hottest weekends, 2025 has yet to offer and the house was pleasantly cool. The seating areas were plentiful - depending on my mood and the time of day, I could choose between a sofa, an armchair, inside table, outside table or a garden chair. I was spoiled for choice. The bedrooms were clean, comfortable and had a lovely breeze coming through with the main bedroom's triple aspect windows. Mere is a wonderful town. I would say it is more of a village but Wikipedia would disagree with me. Lovely pubs and shops around ten minutes walk away.

If you are looking for an escape from the world for a couple of days, look no further. The property was absolutely spotless and the host, Andrea, made our stay perfect. A very welcoming and dog friendly property, and our Frenchie didn't want to leave. We loved every minute and wished we could have stayed for longer. The location is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful Dorset countryside. There are some lovely local walks and the local pub is only a 15 minute walk away. You are not far from the Jurassic Coast, and we can thoroughly recommend the sculpture park, not far from Dorchester.

Thanks for a great stay. Lovely view and great to be by the beach. A lovely place.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay on our way to Cornwall and the setting is just stunning. Our toddler enjoyed paddling in the stream and feeding the alpacas and our dog loved the freedom of being of the lead. Everything was clean and comfortable and it was great sitting and eating on the patio overlooking the garden and wildflowers. Highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful accommodation on the clifftop with fantastic views over the sea and all along the coast, including the Isle Of Wight. Very comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. very close to beach access and with restaurants within walking distance and a good range of shops a short drive away. Nicky was very helpful and friendly, would highly recommend.

This was our first stay at an Airbnb and it certainly set a high standard. We only stayed the one night for visiting Stonehenge but would gladly have stayed longer. The property was clean comfortable and had everything we needed. Would definitely use again if in the area.

One of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at. Dianne and Stephen were responsive and so welcoming to their beautiful home. The space was comfortable and clean and lovely and light. Our little private decking area was perfect for the children and the dog and had beautiful, peaceful views over the garden. Having access to the pool was amazing, even on a cloudy day we spent a lot of time in there with the children as it was lovely and warm. The garden is beautiful and it was nice to be able to wonder around.

Had a lovely three night stay in Acorn hut. Spacious and very private outdoor space with a hot tub for relaxing. Bathroom facilities were clean and shower was great. The hut itself was cosy with everything you need for a few nights away. Big enough for my partner and I as well as our large greyhound. The host was lovely and helpful with advice about places to go and the surrounding area. Would definitely recommend a stay here for anyone looking for a peaceful spot.

Me and my boyfriend spent two nights here the cabin was super cute and the outdoor area was lovely. Easy drive to national park where there was a village with cute pubs and tearooms. Beautiful scenery. 20mins from the coast which was lovelyyy!! Forrest right out the back of the cabin which you could then walk to a pub in 20mins or so ideally good to have a car but if your looking to have a relaxing stay and not leave this is perfect. BBQ set up and hot tub was lovely. Very peaceful.

We stayed here for my mums 80th birthday and it was incredible. Nikki was there to meet and greet us. I had arranged with Nikki prior to our visit to put some 80 decorations up for me and she made a lovely job. The location is so pretty and it is truly a beautiful hideaway. We arrived in the afternoon and it wasn’t long before we got into the lovely swimming pool at the back of the property. We went into the hot tub later on and sipped champagne and took in the beautiful view. Nikki was on call for all our needs and even gave us some milk as we forgot ours. The beds were very comfortable with a high power shower. The lounge is perfect for a comfy relax with your morning coffee. Couldn’t fault it .. Will definetly be back. Thanks Nikki .. for everything

We had the most amazing stay at Upton Borne Lodge for my best mates Hen. Nothing was too much trouble for the host and they came with so many recommendations of activities & food from the local area. The house was spotless and just as described with flexible options for sleeping arrangements. The hot tub, pools, sauna were perfect additions. We didn’t leave all weekend as we had everything we needed! Gill & George were so helpful with everything and it’s well worth the price!

Andrew & Jo made us feel right at home during our stay. We loved our whole trip, especially the pool, quiet setting, and HUGE tv in the living room perfect for movies.

Lovely apartment- peaceful gardens and in a great location for pubs. Jacqui was a response and helpful host - would recommend!

Tamsins home was pristine well thought out and everything was quality there are so many thoughtful touches around the kitchen and around the house and the log burner was glorious Tamsin was so accommodating and helpful if there were any questions. She offered myself and my friend a longer stay at a really good price I will definitely be back in the future. It was a blessing Thankyou

Stayed here for a wedding at Hatch house and it was stunning. Beautiful cottage and scenery and super comfy beds, would definitely come back to explore the area and do some walks, as there’s a footpath right by the house. Host was easily contactable and very friendly, would highly recommend this spot!

We had the most wonderful relaxing holiday. I had always wanted to stay in a converted church and it did not disappoint. Everything supplied was of quality and we had everything we could possibly need. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. The gardens are beautiful and spent a long time wandering through them, sitting in the chair swing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Sarah was lovely, very helpful and accommodating. I would happily go back and would recommend to any couple looking for peace and relaxation in a wonderful setting.

This is a beautiful spot which has lovely walks nearby and some amazing walks at local attractions in particular Alfred’s tower - our dogs loved it and so we were able to relax !comfortable accommodation in a beautiful old building the bedroom in particular is gorgeous

The tin bath is a beautifully presented properly. It has everything you could need with beautiful quality furnishing, very comfortable and clean & the bath is absolutely amazing. We would 100% recommend this property . We stayed there with our dog during the recent heat wave so we came home for the afternoon to relax in the property which also had a lovely small furnished outside private courtyard. The only thing we felt was missing was a small freezer compartment in the lovely retro fridge, so that we could make some ice for our drinks during the hot afternoon and evenings.

Beautiful setting and a beautifully built log cabin. Peaceful and tranquil. Well worth the money and we will return in the future. Visitors need to visit the anchor inn in seatown for lovely food and drinks

Thank you for another fantastic stay in the new forest with our two boys, and this time with our puppy too. We loved being back in Peny Bun, surrounded by forest, so peaceful and private. It was lovely to spot deer and rabbits and roast marshmallows in the fire pit. Can’t wait to be back again.

Fantastic place and definitely going back , Gill was lovely

A lovely peaceful stay in a beautifully finished and comfy space. A great trip all round, would definitely recommend a visit!
