The picturesque village of Charmouth makes a wonderful base for exploring Dorset’s stunning Jurassic Coast. Charmouth Beach is just a mile away and is known as the best fossil-hunting beach in the county. Nearby is the historic town of Lyme Regis (4 miles), famous for its links to Jane Austen and Henry Fielding. The town has plenty of great independent shops, pubs and restaurants as well as landmarks including the Cobb Harbour. Other places to explore along the coast include West Bay (8 miles), Hive Beach (9.5 miles) and Golden Cap (3 miles). Going inland you can visit the pretty town of Bridport (6.5 miles), explore Coney’s Castle (4 miles) or climb Pilsdon Pen (6.5 miles).

The house features three wings of split-level accommodation. Steps lead up to the main hall where you can leave coats and boots. The bright and welcoming lounge is a lovely space for relaxing in, with plenty of seating, TV/DVD, a wood burner and sea views. The kitchen/diner offers a delightful dining area and the kitchen is equipped with an electric hob, double oven, fridge, freezer, coffee machine, dishwasher and microwave. A useful utility room accommodates the washing machine and dryer. Three steps lead up to the East Wing where you will find two comfortable bedrooms: one twin and a bunk room. This wing has a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC. Exploring the West Wing, reached via two steps from the hall, you will find three further bedrooms. There is a double room with sea views, en-suite shower room with WC and a door out onto the balcony. There is also a twin room with sea views and a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC. A flight of stairs lead down to the final bedroom as well as a door to the parking area. Here you will find a further double with an en-suite shower room with WC. This bedroom opens out onto the terrace which has outdoor furniture.

We loved the house - so much space for a multigenerational holiday and with amazing views. Well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. A few issues with inadequate housekeeping which was a shame. Easy walk into Charmouth and to the beach. We had a lovely time.

This was a short holiday organised for our whole family of nine over the New Year. Without exception all of the family thought it was a first class choice.

The property is in the most idyllic location and is a lovely size. The farthest bedroom has a problem with the heating and this needs a permanent solution as it smells musty.

We traveled as two families with two children each and my Dad (who really appreciated having his own space on the lower level!). The kids were happy with lots of space to play and explore, very close to the beach which we would have spent more time at if the weather was a little nicer during our stay. Bathrooms had lots of space too, all clean. LotRead mores of cooking equipment and all easy to use. Perfect for a short stay but we would come back and stay longer for sure. Hide

Overall good find and would go back - comfortable place, lots of large communal areas, comfortable, beautiful location, great garden. Place was a bit musty but maybe because it was the beginning of the season. Huge stinging nettles in the garden to one side. If these things were improved it would be 10/10!
