Charmouth is a relaxing coastal village set in a delightful part of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a stunning beach which is a fantastic spot for fossil hunting. The historic town of Lyme Regis (3 miles) is known for its associations with Jane Austen and Henry Fielding and is home to the famous 13th-century Cobb Harbour. The town also offers a range of places to eat and drink, as well as independent shops, a theatre, cinema and a beautiful beach with views over Lyme Bay. The area makes an ideal gateway to Dorset’s Jurassic Coast, and there are many miles of coastal, rural and clifftop walks to enjoy, with Golden Cap just 6 miles away.

On entering this light, attractive and welcoming 18th-century cottage which is located up a steep, quiet lane, you will find yourself in the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The delightful lounge is a lovely space to relax in, with comfortable seating, Smart TV/DVD, music system, a warming wood burner and a large selection of DVDs. There is a charming dining area and the kitchen is fully equipped with an induction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher and fridge. The freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer are stored in the adjacent utility area. Upstairs there are two cosy bedrooms: one double room with a TV and glimpses towards the sea and a twin room overlooking the garden. Please note the twin room has reduced height in the eaves. You will also find a shower room complete with shower and WC on the first floor.

Heading outside, there is a small courtyard to the front of the property. The pretty back garden is reached via a few steps and has a sunny terrace with garden furniture, a BBQ and a large, sloped lawn area. From here you can enjoy an al fresco meal and admire the fabulous views of the surrounding countryside. Parking is available on the lane, which leads to a small nature reserve.

A lovely stay for me and twins aged 11. The cottage had most of what we needed, and a lovely big garden for kids to run around in. We were lucky that the weather was great so we spent a lot of time outdoors. Otherwise it may have felt a little bit cramped for say a family of 4, with older kids. Location near beach and village shops was also excelleRead morent, but I think not really suitable for anyone who can't walk easily up the steep hill! Overall, a delightful cottage and would recommend. Hide

Had a lovely week at Hillcott Cottage. Small but quaint. Weather was superb. Being able to sit in the garden for breakfast/early evening a bonus. So too the far reaching views over Charmouth. Visited some old favourites Hive Beach, Lulworth Cove/Durdle Door. Would definitely stay again and could well recommend. Only issue we had was that initially Read moreour check in was to be "pushed back". The check in at 4.30 is quite late anyway.! This was rectified, thankfully, after 5 hour journey. Hide

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage positioned up a steep hill and near to the beach. Ideal for my wife and I. A very good workout walking back up the hill from the beach or the Royal Oak pub. The pub serves very good food.

Nice well equipped cottage. On a very steep lane. Cottage has steps to the garden. So was not a good choice for my elderly Mum.

Absolutely lovely time in a lovely cottage, very sweet and the garden is gorgeous. The cottage is excellently equipped (a particular treat to try out the air fryer!), cosy and in a great location, close to beach and village centre. The hill is a climb but the views are lovely and walking home helps to offset the holiday ice creams and chips! Thank Read moreyou. Hide

The cottage is good and the rooms nice and fresh and airy, particularly upstairs. Very comfortable. Patio catches sun in summer. White goods and electrical equipment all good and useful. Plenty of cutlery and crockery but somewhat lacking in bowls and containers when self-catering. It was generally clean but some vital bits had been overlooked in tRead morehe bathroom. The hill could be a problem for some. The welcome pack was minimal and we felt it lacked the personal touch of some places we've stayed. Hide
