We had a lovely stay. Charmouth is a fab little village with plenty of amenities such as an excellent pub right on the doorstep with a lovely child-friendly beer garden. My only gripe would be the exhaustive list of restrictions in the swimming pool which was a shame as the pool itself was lovely. The cottage was really nice and well -equipped.
