On behalf of my parents - Paul’s house was fabulous, a real home from home. The location was perfect for exploring other places, and also for cycling and picking up various cycle routes. The décor was superb, beds were comfy, and the garden was a delight – lovely to sit out and enjoy birds and sunshine. Paul was a great host, there to greet us and wave us off, we can’t wait to go again!

This is a lovely house and immaculately clean, it has been superbly renovated with great decor. Very comfortable bed and nice to be greeted with some food supplies. Paul answered all queries very quickly and was great meeting him on arrival. The cottage has a great location but also very quiet. Highly recommend a visit

Paul was a great host- extremely accommodating and friendly. We greatly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was newly refurbished with all modern amenities and was perfectly clean. Thanks so much Paul!

Paul met us on arrival and explained everything we needed to know. The cottage is beautifully furnished but felt welcoming and homely as well with nice touches like books, games and magazines. Great location for visiting Wareham as easy walking distance to all amenities.

I booked Paul's place on behalf of my parents who are thinking of moving to wareham. Paul was friendly and prompt with all communication and his place was the perfect place to explore wareham and the surrounding areas. The house is clean and welcoming they loved their time there and can't wait to make a return trip.

Fantastic home, host and location. Wareham was a great find for our family and this was a most comfortable place to hang our hats while we explored the area. The house is well situated with the countryside out the front door and the town out the back. Three minutes by foot to the quai, boat rental, library, and walks along the river. Only the sound of birds to be heard. A healthfood store and very good tourist information in town as well asa good old cinema. The area offers breezy coastal walks, stately homes, Monkey World - which was very good, and many, many interesting days out. The town was just large enough to offer local events. If you are looking for a supremely clean and well thought out house, with extra comfy bedding, you will enjoy this home.

We had a lovely week at East Walls - Paul is a wonderful host and the house is really beautiful; light and sunny and peaceful. It's immaculately clean, perfectly decorated and incredibly comfortable too. The towels all white, super luxurious and thick - really well equipped kitchen - lovely comfy beds and a beautiful sunny garden. Paul is a very kind and thoughtful host and took time to give us info re the local area plus the house comes with a very generous welcome pack and well stocked cupboards - plenty of condiments and other bits and bobs - jams, olive oil, rock salt, even balsamic vinegar! Wareham is a great base for exploring the area - so many beautiful places just a few minutes drive away - and it's an exceptional area for walking too- for all ages and energy levels. The ladies in the tourist information centre in the library in Wareham are fabulously helpful and friendly if you want to find out more about the area. It's a beautiful place in summertime but would be wonderful at any time of year.

A fantastic place to stay, central modern and close to everything wareham has to offer. This was our second stay and it won't be the last.

Geoffrey and Suze were wonderful hosts, the room was lovely and the cooked breakfast fabulous. Thanks both, I look forward to staying again.

Caroline was a fantastic host, great communication and made us feel right at home when we visited. We stayed in the annex of the property and it was incredible; it was spacious, had everything we needed and was spotless. Shame we weren't able to stay longer! Next time we're down this way, we'll pop back for another stay for sure.

We had a lovely experience at Highfield House. Caroline and Brooke were extremely welcoming. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The breakfast was brill. Highly recommended. 10/10

We were made very welcome by Caroline and Brook. The house is lovely and our room with en suite shower had everything we could have wanted. Very comfy bed and peace and quiet. Perfect! Caroline left us to help ourselves to our breakfast and we had a great selection of cereals and fresh fruit. Would definitely recommend the home made marmalade which Caroline had some jars of to buy. We had a lovely walk round Wareham - the city walls and the interesting shops - and to top it off, heard my first cuckoo this year! Would have liked to have stayed longer. Thank you Caroline.

Lovely place and quiet area we Will come back

We had a lovely break, the house is clean and well equipped and the location is perfect for trips to the beaches and other sights along the coast. The children's playground around the corner was also very useful.

The house has recently been renovated to a high standard, with great attention to detail making it a real home-from-home stay. Five of us stayed for 2 days which was very comfortable and the house is very well stocked, there is nothing missing! The location is fab for getting around and it was very cosy and warm. The owners should be very proud of their house! It's a great stay!

We loved staying at Debbie's place. Debbie was helpful, and the house was wonderful. The location was perfect for our needs, the kitchen and living areas were well laid out and had everything we needed. We would stay here again.

What a house, so well looked after. Very clean and comfortable. The house is very homely and easy to make yourself at home. Debbie's communication is perfect, lots of very clear information and easy to follow. If i'm ever back in the area will be sure to stay again. Thank you again for letting us enjoy your house.

Only a short stay, but perfect for our needs. Ideal base for the local attractions. House was clean and well-equipped, décor was lovely. Would definitely stay again next time we're in the area.

A really lovely house, beautifully decorated, very clean and well looked after, very much a home from home. Our host was super during the booking process and in the run up to or trip was great, very good and prompt at communicating with us and providing lots of helpful information.

The host wasn't around but left clear entry instructions which meant we could get in straight away - great as we had to get our kids fed and into bed. The house is a good size, well kept and well equipped - roomy kitchen, two very good sized doubles and the lads in the twin. Garden is decent size for the property - fully paved as shown in the pics, which is sensible for maintanence. Area is great for Dorset's many attractions - very close to Corfe, Monkey World, Tank Museum, and Swanage, Weymouth and Poole area are only about 35 mins away. Also found a fantastic Indian takeaway just down the road which made our Saturday evening (honestly one of the best I've tasted - and I've tasted a lot!)

Wareham is a delightful little town - almost untouched by time. Catherine's house is perfectly located to walk into town (for pubs and eating out) - and access the countryside around. We regretted not bringing our bikes (and a kayak!). Catherine is a lovely hostess and made us very welcome. We really didn't want for anything. Maps & area info provided - and the TIC in town had anything else needed. Our annexe was brand new, spotlessly clean and private. There was a TV but we didn't turn it on once - too much to do outside! Wifi provided. We had access to the kitchen and dining area, for breakfast (provided) and cups of tea/coffee whenever. The weather was mostly good so we used the patio too. Catherine and Steve were on hand to offer advice on the area and we accepted a lift into Poole one day and took the boat back up the River Frome. Lovely place, friendly people, very quiet road, off street parking, felt very safe & secure here. Can recommend the Duke of Wellington pub (music quiz on Tuesday night is hard but well thought out and fun!), King's Arms pub, a film at the bijou Rex cinema, a meal at the Old Granary, a visit to St Martin's church, a walk round the Saxon walls, all within minutes of the house. By car - RSPB Arne, Wareham Forest, Tyneham (MOD), Studland (NT), Swanage for fish & chips, and more fabulous walks...all within 10 miles. Coastal scenery to die for. Will come again! Thank you Catherine & Steve.

Catherine was a lovely host. We were made to feel at home able to help ourselves to drinks and offering a lovely light breakfast. Maps and leaflets of things to do were provided and she was happy to answer any questions we had. The annex itself was very comfortable and private with access to a pretty sun trap patio. We were blessed with the weather on our recent trip and it was great sitting out their before going out in the evening and for breakfast. The accommodation was only a few minutes walk to the very non commercial Wareham with plenty of pubs and restaurants to choose from and nice wall and river walks and river activities. A very pleasant visit. Thank you, xx

First, the host: Wendy is the greatest host EVER. She: - waited for us when we were considerably later than expected - guided us to her place by phone - walked to the end of her lane in the mist to find us because we couldn't locate the entrance - gave us numerous restaurant recommendations and directions - loaned us a small computer - personally led us over to the ferry landing in Poole (20 minutes away by car), to make sure we didn't get lost - went to the grocery for us while we were in Guernsey and stocked our fridge with breakfast items since we were going to be returning late in the evening - when we were a day and a half late coming back from Guernsey due to a ferry accident, she hung our laundry out to dry, and engaged her mother to clean up the place later than she had planned so that all our stuff could just stay there as it was and we could have a shower and change of clothes when we got back from our 52-hour "day trip". The house is lovely, though a bit tricky to find (as you might have surmised from the above). Do NOT just enter the address in (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps...follow Wendy's directions on this. We unfortunately used the automated link that appeared (because AirBnB had automatically entered our stay into my (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Calendar) and were led about 30 minutes out of the way down some dark, narrow, windy roads in the foggy mist. The layout upstairs is a bit quirky, as you have to go through bedroom #2 to get to bedroom #3, and bedroom #1 has some very low (head-knocking potential) beams. Not a problem for us...just an FYI. We didn't make much use of the kitchen, but it seemed adequately supplied. The WiFi connection in the house wasn't working. We were able to log onto Wendy's own connection (her house is next door), but the signal was predictably weak. The house is on a quiet lane in central Wareham. There are quite a few restaurants etc. within an easy walk. This was our launch point for our trip to Guernsey (ferry from Poole) and from here we headed up to Salisbury and Stonehenge (both about an hour away).

The house was great- really enjoyed the pool. Wendy was a great host

The host canceled this reservation 118 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

We had a great stay at the coach house between Christmas and New Year. It's easy to imagine how this would be a great place to stay during the summer, but it is actually ideal for a winter stay as well, with plenty of space and the woodburner making it very comfortable. Highly recommended.

Very friendly and helpful host....well appointed house, great spot and lovely relaxing setting. A great launchpad to explore the Purbecks from.

TAK TAK TAK, til Liz og Chris, Det var et fantastisk ophold, så gæstfrie dejlige menesker , og super søde hunde, !!!! Var en sand nydelse i smukke smukke omgivelser, kan kun varmt anbefalde nok det bedste sted man ka drømme om at tilbringe i Wareham. Imopnerende morgen mad , hjemme bagt brød, æg fra høns i haven, frisk frugt skåret ud, ja alt hvad man ku drømme om, det var kongelige forhold, så fantastisk!!! Altid glade og meget hjælpsomme værter, så glade for denne oplevelse, og håber at kunne vende tilbage, når vi ska besøge vores søn, i wareham, vi følte os virkelig hjemme, Liz gav en skulder at græde ved da dagen kom vi sku tag afsked med vores søn, det var dejligt, han har nu os et nummer til vores Fantastiske værter hvis alt sku gå galt langt væk hjemme fra.

We had a fabulous stay with Liz and Chris and their gorgeous dogs Kulu and Alice who all made us feel so very welcome. Everything was perfect. The setting is idyllic, very peaceful and perfectly located to reach all the local attractions. The accommodation is very comfortable having 2 bedrooms and a bathroom all to ourselves. There are lovely views over the gardens and we were able to watch a family of deer grazing. Breakfasts are very generous, lots of fresh fruit, cereals, eggs straight from the 3 chickens, etc. Liz is always on hand for chats and advice and made us feel so relaxed in her lovely home. I would definitely recommend a stay with Liz and Chris and look forward to booking again very soon.

Once again we had a wonderful stay with Liz & Chris. They are lovely people with a beautiful home. The beds are very comfortable, the place is clean and welcoming, and it's a very relaxing place to stay. Superb breakfast too!

We had a lovely weekend break with Liz, Chris and the dogs :) they were excellent hosts, and the kids loved playing in the amazing garden - highly recommended!

I need to get my thesaurus out to find enough superlatives for this review! Liz and Chris are the most convivial and relaxed hosts. Their house (and garden) is beautiful and bright, homely and welcoming. Our accommodation was immaculately presented; clean and comfortable with high quality soft furnishings and lovely extra touches (night lights, Aveda mini toiletries, board games). We had our 4 month old baby boy sleep comfortably in our bed and our son took over the twin room. Our eldest son is 6 and he instantly became best friends with their young female Rhodesian Ridgeback, who is adorable as is the older male one. She managed to match our lad's boundless playful energy! The time we spent at the house was very relaxing without a peep of traffic noise and no light pollution at night. They laid on a fabulous breakfast spread for us with a variety of home made jams, all very very tasty! We visited the area to go to a wedding and took a trip to monkey world which is around 5 minutes drive from the house, highly recommended for kids and adults alike. Liz and Chris know everything there is to know about the area so you'll be spoiled for choice on what to do! I only wish we could have booked an extra night....

Such a nice place to stay and relax. Liz and Chris made us very welcome from the start. Close to local places of interest, although definitely need a car. Our room was lovely and bathroom were great and loved the fact it was on the top floor on our own felt really private which was not expecting. Very comfy beds. Breakfast was just to our taste, lovely fresh produce. Would recommend and would book again in the future.

We had a wonderful time staying with Liz and Chris and their superfriendly dogs. We felt very welcome in this beautiful house, which offers the perfect location to calm down and also explore the area from the coast to Dorchester and the New Forest. The rooms were perfect, cosy and in a separate part of the house and we enjoyed the excellent breakfast every morning. We would definitely recommend it and love to stay again!

Lovely house that feels truly like a home, full of trinkets and everything you need to be comfortable. It's in a lovely location with great walks to the cost and nearby Lulworth Castle. The garden was probably our favourite part and perfect for barbeques or whiling away a beautiful summer's eve. The hosts Deb & John were very friendly, helpful and welcoming from our very first exchanges. They also had a personally written list of tips and recommendations in the local area that were very helpful. And, lots of maps, books and leaflets were available in the house to help us make the most of our stay and the surrounding areas.

The Pink House is in a superb location a stones throw from the grounds of Lulworth Castle. The house was equipped with everything needed for my family of four, including tea, (real) coffee and milk kindly left by the host. There are 3 spacious bedrooms upstairs, all with exposed floorboards and quirky decor. The house is actually a lot smaller than it looks on the listing, but is still a roomy semi with two reception rooms and large family dining table. We found the wifi to be adequate for our needs. Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are 10mins drive away, but if you have children I recommend one of the sand beaches - such as Swanage - as the former are both pebble beaches. There are also some lovely walks, villages and towns nearby. I can't fault the actual house as it was spotless and the hosts, Debbie & John, were great! My only criticism (and not the fault of the host) is that the house is the only holiday let of the six houses on the street, the other five being residential, I would have preferred to have been a little more isolated (or around other holidaymakers for obvious reasons). 10/10 for the house facilities and host!

We had a great stay at the pink house! Good location for Lulworth Cove and the Jurassic Coast in general, a short drive away. Well equipped kitchen, two wood burners to keep you cosy and importantly for us.. a cot for our 2 year old. Weather was a bit varied so didn't really use the garden... but would have loved to. Lovely host with a thorough house guide! Included good pubs in the area as well.

This was a quirky house as described and very well equipped. Deborah made us feel very welcome and was in touch a couple of times before our arrival. Cosy lounge area and comfy beds. Everywhere was very clean. Great pub about 20 mins walk away and of course loads beautiful countryside and the coast nearby. Fabulous spot for a walking holiday. Be aware only parking for 2 cars. Would recommend, and would stay again.

We had a very enjoyable stay in the Pink House. The house is ideal for families and is in the perfect location for exploring the beautiful Dorset countryside. The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac with a lovely view over the fields. One morning we could see a herd of deer from the living room window! The house is clean and tidy. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfy and the duvets are very snuggly. We did not meet our host but Deborah kindly made contact after our first night's stay to ensure we were happy and that everything was satisfactory. If I was being really picky, I would say that the hot water tank is a bit small to provide sufficient hot water for a large family to take a shower one after another and the shower itself, which is over the bath, is underpowered. Other than this, I would recommend the Pink House to anyone for a great get-away-from-it-all holiday.

Had a lovely time staying at the Pink House would highly recommend!

I had a wonderful stay at the Pink House with my partner and parents. The hosts Deb and John were very friendly and informative in their correspondence. The property has a beautiful view from the living space across Dorset fields and a lovely garden at the rear. We felt instantly at home from the moment we stepped inside. It was just as enjoyable to spend time here as it was to explore the many wonderful attractions of Dorset. I highly recommend the place to everyone. Many thanks!

Wow, what an amazing stay! We loved the pink house and it was even prettier than we expected. Plenty of space for 6 adults, very helpful hosts and a great location. Hope we can come back one day!

Very quiet and lovely views, friendly hospitality and beautiful accommodation.

Beautiful home in the stunning countryside of Dorset. Wonderfully welcoming family who couldn't have done enough for me during my stay. Would happily stay again. Thanks :)

Trudi and Andy were great hosts and it was wonderful to stay in such a lively home! We were very comfortable during our stay - the basket of toiletries and other goodies was a very nice touch. I would not hesitate to recommend this place!

Great comfy bed and bathroom with huge bath. Very clean and warm in the winter. Lovely family.

Nice room and bathroom, everything someone hiking the South West Coast Path could ask for. Sweet, open children and a lovely dog. Loved my stay!

Trudi and her husband really made us feel home and welcome! The house is amazing, and the location is perfect to reach easily Durdle Door and the coast. We would definitely recommend this host!

Trudi, Andy and their two sons (and boxer dog) are a lovely family that made us feel at home. They were incredibly friendly and helpful and made every effort to accommodate us. The guest room and house itself is very spacious and we were offered full use of the enourmous bathroom, kitchen and living room. We only give 4*, though, mainly because of the location - we hoped we would be able to walk or cycle into town, but the house sits right in the narrow angle between two roads that were much too fast and busy for our liking. Also, the guest room could do with a bit more furniture, especially a second bedside table with reading lamp.

Very friendly family who welcome you into their lovely home - a great stay

Fantastic cottage. Good location. Apple cake in the fridge - excellent

We had a great stay at Sue & Andy's! The place was lovely and it was the perfect escape for a weekend. It is very well set up and our hosts were friendly and welcoming. Having a gas fire was excellent and kept us quite warm in the evenings. Being within easy walking distance of Wareham's centre, we had excellent meals at a couple of the places our hosts recommended (The Salt Pig and The Italian Kitchen). Overall, strongly recommended and we'll be definitely coming back.

Had a lovely stay, made to feel very welcome and at home. Would highly recommend to others! :-)

What a perfect place to explore the Jurassic coast from. The place was comfy, cosy and had everything we needed. We particularly appreciated the maps and tourist guide that helped us plan our sdventures.

Pound Cottage is a lovely spot to be based in an area surrounded by beautiful scenery and plenty of activities. Sue and Andy are terrifically accommodating and were as flexible as possible with us, as well as offering plenty of good tips for our weekend stay. Whether it be Wareham itself, the Jurassic Coast, Corfe Castle or the quaint Square and Compass pub (just down by the coast) this is a sweet and comfortable spot to stay. Would recommend to any and hope to return myself.

A charming and cozy place surrounded by wonderful countryside and only 15 minutes walk from the excellent and handsome town of Wareham. Sue and Andy are great hosts and very welcoming.

Absolutely delightful stay at Sue and Andy's idyllic Dorset cottage. Super friendly welcome and a great time in this very traditional English country village. I would highly recommend these warm hosts and their lovely cottage.

We stayed at Pound Cottage for 3 nights and couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Sue and Andy are excellent hosts and the cottage felt just like home. They gave us some of their delicious famous Dorset apple cake and even a bottle of bubbly as it was my birthday during the trip! Wareham is a 10-15minute walk away with good pubs and restaurants so the cottage isn't isolated at all but you still get that countryside feeling. Hopefully it won't be long until we are back!

Host made us very welcome and was very helpful. Neighbourhood is OK. Listing is accurate.

Dorothy is very kind and surprised me with her home made bread. I was tired from travelling and this was a welcome surprise. I wish you all the best and next time I come again.

Since this was our 4th stay here I'll suggest everyone looks at my previous reviews. Suffice to say it remains top of my list in Poole - an outstanding Airbnb.

Dorothy answered messages really quickly, which was really reassuring as I had to make last minute changes to the booking. The rooms were really nice, the kitchen was so well stocked, with things for breakfast, milk, tea, coffee, and even a home baked loaf of bread! Dorothy put out toys for the children, provided potties, 2 travel cots and even a bottle steriliser, and this was not because we asked, but because she is such a thoughtful host.

Dorothy was very welcoming and gave us a tour of the facilities. She was very friendly and helpful. Our stay was very pleasant and would recommend Dorothy to anyone.

Look at my previous reviews for the detail. It's always fantastic here.

Really nice place to stay for an overnight business trip I had, big bed and a table to work at in the upstairs room. Easy to get to from the A31. Dorothy and Jason directed me to a good pub - the Yachtsman - a short walk away for an evening meal.

This was my first experience of Airbnb and it surpassed my expectations. Dorothy is lovely and the space in her home is too. She went out of her way to make us feel welcome and comfortable and is extremely thoughtful and considerate with all of the unexpected extras that she supplies, even a loaf of home cooked bread! I would thoroughly recommend staying with Dorothy.

I believe we were the first guests at this location and everything was prepared for us to perfection. Every little detail had been thought out for our comfort, the room warm and the bed very comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Great location with fabulous views over the harbour from the breakfast room. We will definitely be back

Steve made us feel very welcome, the views were great and getting to the ferry was really convenient. Really appreciated being made breakfast early Sunday am

maison très agréable, au calme. Steeve était là pour nous accueillir et nous donner des conseils. La chambre était agréable avec possibilité de boire un thé ou un café avec petits gâteaux. La maison de Steeve n'est pas loin du port donc c'est pratique lorsque l'on doit prendre le bateau tôt le matin. Je garde cette adresse pour une prochaine fois

great location for me, spacious room

Our second stay here and as before a very comfortable one, Steve made us feel really welcome - like home form home and I especially enjoyed hearing more about the nature on Arne ( which was featured on BBC Autumn Watch ) and other local things .

Great place great host and most of all a relaxing stay to absorb the area !!

Jonny really went out of his way to be a fantastic host. He was extremely welcoming and is a font of local knowledge. We really enjoyed our stay even though it was short and hope to come back again sometime to explore some more. It is a really great little house too with an amazing garden. Very easy to find too. Thanks again

Couldn't have faulted the communication, helpfulness and all round excellence of Jonny and Phil, truly couldn't have done anymore for us!! Spotless beautiful house- highly recommend!!!
