Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Homely, colourful and cosy Forge Cottage
Great location, only a short drive away from pubs and restaurants. Very peaceful surrounding. Amy was friendly and helpful. The place itself is decorated beautifully with all the amenities you would need.

Romantic Retreat with hot tub
A beautiful cottage, bath with a view and lovely hot tub in private garden. Provides everything you need for a relaxing weekend away. Beautiful location, so peaceful. The barn with pool table and gym was a great addition. Responsive host too, a really lovely welcome when we arrived.

Ranmoor Estate - Kestrel Lodge - Hot Tub & A/C
We had a great stay here. Lovely lodge and beautiful surroundings. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.

A Stunning Dorset Thatched Cottage - Dog friendly
We had a lovely stay in the cottage. It was clean, cosy and the welcome goodies were a lovely touch and much appreciated. The hot tub was a perfect for relaxing in the evenings, and under cover (we got lucky with beautiful weather but this would’ve been great even if it rained!). Our dog enjoyed the secure garden and we appreciated knowing he could roam the garden safely. The cottage is in a great location, just a short drive from the sea, and Ruth provided great recommendations for local places to eat and visit. We went to the Sculpture Park by the lake which was beautiful! We’d love to stay again.

Romantic holiday cottage for two with hot tub
The hosts were helpful from the moment we booked our stay. We were given clear instructions on where to arrive and were greeted as soon as we pulled into the carpark. They explained all the necessary information and answered all of our questions and were very helpful. They were always available if we had any queries and gave plenty of local recommendations for food and activities. We would 100% recommend and would be more than happy to book again.

Stunning Barn Conversion-Jacuzzi & Pool
A friend and I took our 2 twelve year old girls for an end of the holidays treat and were not disappointed. We had a fabulous time. Paul and Sandra went out of their way to make us feel at home and answer all our queries. This is a beautiful spot. The accommodation is very comfortable and the setting very peaceful, although with very easy access to the coast/other activities. We spent 2 days relaxing by the pool and in the hot tub. Having a kitchen next to the pool is a great idea, meaning its so easy to prepare food and drinks without having to go back to the house. We didn't make use of the party room, but I could imagine it would be fantastic for a family/friends gathering. The girls loved the dogs and horses, and Paul and Sandra made them both feel at home. They both cherished the horseshoes that Sandra gave them before we left (thankyou!). There was only 4 of us on this visit, but I could imagine this would would be a fantastic place for a celebration get together. We'll be back!

The Hideaway - sustainable hidden gem with hottub
The Hideaway was perfect - away from the madding crowd but within easy reach of places of interest, tens and restaurants. And the cattle and Basil the horse made our stay complete in the rolling Dorset countryside. Thank you Amy for having us to stay and for bring a great host.

Charming Stone Cottage: Hot Tub, Games Room
We enjoyed our stay at Vine Cottage. The place had a home from home feel, was clean and well maintained and equipped with everything we needed. Lovely big towels, fresh white bed linen and comfy beds. The outside area was lovely and we loved the hot tub. Check in/out was straight forward and Gill (and family) were very helpful and responded promptly before and during our stay. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Chesil Cove Holiday Cottage
Lovely place to stay, brilliant location and exactly as described. Charlotte was great at communicating before our stay and we found the place very easily!

Admiral's Cottage nr Bridport and Beaminster
Perfect holiday accommodation & location. Warm, friendly and extremely thoughtful hosts. Spotlessly clean and extremely well-appointed cottage, with lovely welcome treats for us and our dog. Very peaceful, rural location with lovely animals & games room on site for children and easy access to the Dorset coast. Literally the best cottage we’ve stayed in.

Marwells Farm Cottage
We had a nice relaxing break. It was a lovely cottage with beautiful surroundings. Sally was available for us when we needed anything. The directions she gave made it very easy to find. Wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

1888 Portland stone cottage
Julie's place was a fantastic place to stay during our time in Portland. The place was spotless, smelt nice and had all the amenities and items you might need for your stay. Locally, the walks are absolutely breathtaking! Some of the best views I have seen anywhere! There are a few food shops and takeaways locally, all fairly priced and good food. We will definitely return!

Seaside cottage close to Beach in Dorset
Cosy cottage. Walking distance to the beach. Lovely welcome pack with even a treat for the fur baby. This was our 3rd visit and we’ll be back!

Idyllic views, quiet,cosy, Jurassic coast cottage
Rowan Barn is just as described in the listing, if not better. The house is very comfortable and in a great location, with a small private garden with views over the coastal hills and golden cap and a larger communal space for the use of guests at the other properties. It was lovely to be able to walk from the house with many paths to choose from and a reliable and frequent buses at the end of the lane. An easy walk to seatown and the anchor pub. We enjoyed ourselves so much we have already booked a return visit

Spaniel Cottage with views of Ham hill, Somerset
What an absolute gem! The pictures, while great, probably don’t do it justice. It’s a beautiful little place and felt so homely. Heidi was very helpful and super responsive to all our questions. Check in and out was very simple. We had 2 children both under 2 and 1 dog with us and it was perfect for everyone. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

Large and cottage at heart of a scenic village
What an absolutely outstanding place Dennis has here. Absolutely beautiful , very comfortable, the bedrooms are big and airy but cosy at the same time. spotless rooms, bathrooms and kitchen . lovely bright white clean linen . A very charming Fireplace with a gorgeous log burner and big comfortable sofas . The Gardens were lovely although admittedly at this time of year wasn't showing it's best , but still the wow factor. Lots of walks nearby . There is a village shop that caters for most things but if you want a little more Crewkern is only 3 miles away with Lidl, Waitrose etc. Set in the most picturesque Village , Dennis's Cottage will not disappoint . We hope to return at some point.

The Cottage at Flo’s Cottages with Indoor Pool
This was a perfect place to stay for our family of four. Our daughters especially enjoyed the swimming pool. The cottage was clean, with beautiful surroundings and had everything we needed. It was also really lovely to be able to book my Dad into the ‘Little Stable’, which is a smaller, 2 person dwelling available to book. Fiona is a fantastic host and responded quickly to any queries. We would definitely recommend this to our family and friends.

Stylish country cottage close to Jurassic Coast
Little Glebe was so perfect for my friends and I - two couples - as a place to stay in Dorset. The cottage itself was amazing: bright, airy, beautiful design, great views, functional kitchen, and two comfortable bedrooms each with an ensuite bathroom. The location was also really ideal - about a 17 minute walk to the local farm grocery store where bought all of our food to cook, and 10 minute drive to Durdle door and other great coastal walks. Sue was a wonderful host, and very warm and lovely. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Hideaway - near Lyme Regis, 2 bedroom lodge
Really lovely place to stay. Very friendly and welcoming. Well setup in cabin and good selection of dvds for wet weather. 4G was fine for us.
