Our places in Sturminster Newton

There are only five places here, so the choice is narrow and it helps to know what each one offers before you book. They range from a one-bedroom stay for three to a three-bedroom house for nine. The other three all sleep four in two bedrooms. Two have a hot tub, three have a log burner, and most allow pets in some form, either on request or as dog friendly. If you want a particular feature, check dates early, as a small stock leaves little room to switch.

Check dates

Sturminster Newton sits in the Dorset countryside, and the stays here suit couples and small families more than big groups. Most places sleep around four or five, with two bedrooms being the usual layout. One place sleeps up to nine and has three bedrooms, which makes it the only real option for a larger party.

Prices vary a lot from one place to the next. The cheapest night found is for a one-bedroom stay for three, while the typical two-bedroom cabin with a log burner costs far more. The large hot tub place is cheaper per night than the smaller log burner cabins, so size alone does not set the price. Four in five places take pets, and three in five have a log burner. Guests rate the stays highly, at 9.2 out of 10.

Features

Gardens are the most common feature, found at four of the five places. Log burners come next at three places, and these cabins are typically dearer per night than the ones with a hot tub. Two places have a hot tub, and two have a high chair, which matters if you are travelling with a toddler. One place offers fishing. The hot tub stays are usually cheaper than the log burner ones, partly because the largest place has a hot tub and spreads its cost over more guests.

By number of guests

Four of the five places sleep three or four, and they have two bedrooms. For a couple, a two-bedroom cabin gives spare space but costs more than the smaller one-bedroom option. A group of five or more has just one choice, the largest place, which sleeps nine. Split between a full house, it can work out cheaper per person than the smaller cabins.

Prices month by month

November is the cheapest of the months ahead, and prices step up in December. January and February stay a little below December, and March climbs back to the same level. April is cheaper again than the winter months. Availability tells its own story: November and December have the fewest free dates, while February to April have far more open nights. If you want a lower price and a wider choice, spring is the better bet. Last-minute stays in November are the tightest.

FAQs

Is Sturminster Newton cheaper in spring than in winter?
