The cottage was in a nice, if somewhat isolated, location. Some information about walks, using off road paths, to Charmouth or Lyme Regis would be useful.

The terraced accommodation was not highlighted on the advertisement. Its location was ideal for touring the area.

House was clean and tidy and well furnished and the welcome pack which catered to all our tastes was appreciated. Property needs some attention with more information being provided and consistency with advertised features like laundry room, hotel grounds and BBQ. The twin room is not really recommended for adults until improvements are made. BewareRead more of ticks around "lake" area. It took an hour to walk to Charmouth beach and a similar time to walk to Lyme Regis. Both pubs in Charmouth had very good food. Royal Oak needs a telephone booking. Hide

Lovely spacious accommodation, nice welcome wine and biscuits, also 2 bottles of water as needed due to natural spring. Well equipped kitchen and good WiFi connection (teenager was pleased). Just a short drive to Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Bridport and Axminster within easy journey too.
