Dj vu When I was a curious child I walked into this persons garden by mistake. Saw a table of people having lunch and bolted back down the hill . A few decades later its still as enchanting as I remember. Lovely location beautiful beach house bigger than Iv ever seen. Puzzles 3 bits missing. Beds really comfortable. The gardens a Warm sun tRead morerap perfect place to take a nap. The Sea views are amazing. This must be just like living in paradise and I didnt want to go home. Take a good pair of walking boots and water bottles Hide

We had our not so famous five adventure at Cliffend and it could not have been more perfect. Amazing views, own beach access and a big old comfy house that has seen many years of holiday joy. It's not modern, its well used, it takes dogs, it allows you time to relax. Do not hesitate, you will never regret staying in this special place.

From parking the car it's about 70yds downhill to the front door where the Balustrade is a bit loose.At the porch ceiling light has some conduit & exposed wires that are not covered.And wiring under the gutter is quite unusual.The conduit seems to appear in many parts of the house.The living room has ample seating but springs seem to be missing in Read moresome seats (so choose carefully).There is storage and central heating.The latter has faulty thermostats and cannot turn them off.The secondary double glazing is tired and the curtains blow in the wind that are also very thin.The 1st floor bathroom is about 6' square and is tricky to use and we preferred the shower on the ground floor but poor decor and a rusty radiator is not a great impression and needs replacing probably as may the strip lights in the hall and kitchen.We did not use the wood burner in the hall as we felt that there should be fire doors in the property to leave it running.The housekeepers for this property left it very well with fresh towels and bedding.Over all the property has has been repainted in recent times and is useable but needs a little help.It's the most perfect location that you could ask for.

Spent a wonderful week in Cliff End. It was an ideal, large and comfortable space for our two families to get together. The location was fabulous for lots of local walks along the beaches and cliffs whilst within easy driving distance to many Dorset attractions.

We had a great holiday, the footpath to the beach was such a bonus. The "secret" bench at the end of the garden was in a great location for a peaceful drink and the view is stunning.

Lovely to find a stunning property like this which is still owned by a real family who have evidently cherised it for ages. Heating worked very well for our February stay. We loved the quirkiness and character. One or two improvements could be made without losing that. The access to the house, the beach and viewing point is challenging for anyone Read morewith mobility problems. The pub at the end of the drive does great food. Hide

We have always loved coming to stay at cliff end. And having had a fresh lick of paint and with bedding now provided - this has only added to the experience. It is by far our best holiday go to. Thank you again for a wonderful holiday.
