This charming converted farm building is located on the stunning Dorset coast within a gated holiday complex and is perfectly located for exploring the many beaches and walks the Jurassic coastline has to offer. Situated within the traditional Dorset seaside village of Charmouth, the property is just a short stroll from the amenities. From here, you can collect provisions for your stay or enjoy a hearty meal out. The Jurassic Coast, England’s first Natural World Heritage Site, spans 95 miles of the Dorset and East Devon coastline, taking in some of the very finest walks and views available. A short drive away, Lyme Regis offers an unspoilt seafront, fossil-rich beach and selection of boutique shops and cafes.

Inside, the property is modern and bright, with wooden flooring and plenty of natural light throughout. Prepare delicious meals in the kitchen/diner, which includes an integrated oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, together with a good-sized dining table. At the end of a long day exploring the coastline, relax and unwind in the cosy lounge, which overlooks the enclosed patio through French doors and features a TV and DVD player for cosy nights in. On the first floor are the two well-presented bedrooms, one king-size with a TV and one twin. The bedrooms share a bathroom on the first floor with an overhead shower and WC. There is also a further WC on the ground floor.

Heading outside is an enclosed patio area with a table and chairs, ideal for al fresco dining or drinks. Guests are invited to enjoy the neighbouring holiday park which includes a shared, covered outdoor heated swimming pool (open during specific dates only and not available all year, please refer to the 'need to know' section for details), Char Valley coffee shop which serves teas, coffees, milk shakes, ice creams and biscuits, and a shared outdoor children's play area.

Enjoyed ourselves, would go again. Pool was open 10 till 5 and closed for lunch. If you use it you might feel you've wasted a day out. 4 o'clock seemed the busiest for that reason. Polite staff, very accommodating. Not a great deal in the immediate area, although beach was about 10-15 minute walk....20 if you have kids

The cottage is for 4 people and there is literally 4 of everything, no spares which means you have to put the dishwasher on a lot - only one tablet and a clean dishcloth provided. There is nothing left behind here - no tin foil, cling film - even the salt and pepper shakers are empty. No spare pillows, just one per person. The king size bed has a sRead moretrange foam topper which makes it feel like a waterbed. No WiFi which is mean in 2025! Pool only 1 hour per day and watched like a hawk. Hide
