The Best AirBnBs in Dorset: An Interior Designers Guide
With British holidays on the rise, we love finding hidden gems to make your holiday close to home, that little bit more special.
Although we love all the airbnb’s shared in this post, we haven’t yet had the opportunity to stay at each one just yet. Nevertheless, we have carefully chosen these homes based primarily on their design, along with considerations for their location, positive reviews, and their Superhost badge they achieved when we did our research.

Romantic Hillside Hideaway
With far reaching views of Lyme Bay, Lyme Regis, and Charmouth, this newly renovated retreat, dating back to the mid 1800s, is an ideal haven for couples seeking a romantic getaway. Nestled between Bridport and Lyme Regis, this cottage serves as the perfect base for those eager to explore the Dorset coastline. The snug space is adorned with vintage wood furniture and complimented by a warm wood burner in the living space, creating a cosy and intimate ambiance.

Contemporary Design Cabin
Located close to the charming village of Milton Abbas, this distinctive cabin, showcased in various magazines, lives up to its hype! Despite its compact size, the cabin features a super king bed and comes equipped with all the amenities you may need whilst away. Situated on a working farm, this holiday retreat offers proximity to numerous scenic walks. For those seeking relaxation, a wood fired hot tub awaits, alongside an indoor projector. Trust me, projectors are a total game changer- I recently added one to my bedroom at home, and I can’t imagine going back to a regular TV.

Cosy Shepherds Hut
Set within a working dairy farm, this compact yet snug retreat is an ideal getaway for couples seeking a beachside holiday. A pathway from the hut leads you across the farm to Kimmeridge beach, perfect for both warm summer days and chilly, crisp ones. If you prefer staying in, you can enjoy the views out to the sea and fields from the comfort of the hut. Inside, the cosy space features a small kitchen area, a warming log burner, and a full size double bed. But this isn’t any double bed- it’s thoughtfully design with a head angle, allows you to easily sit up and relax on those leisurely mornings.

Treehouse Getaway
Tucked away in the heart of The Blue Pool, a beloved natural haven in the Purbecks, this one of a kind retreat is housed in a treehouse. Choosing to stay in the space not only grants you complimentary entry to the attraction but also opens the door to the tea rooms during their operational hours. Meticulously crafted by hand, the treehouse offers a distinctive and charming environment both indoors and outdoors, offering scenic views of the surrounding heathland extending all the way to Poole Harbour. The location provides a serene opportunity for guests to observe nature quietly.
