Lovely little home to stay at very close to Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Enough space for us (3 adults & one teen). There's only one bathroom with a shower so factor this when your booking. Pubs locally get booked up quick. Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen. A lovely place to stay. Thank you

Lovely week staying at a modern house, with comfortable beds and sofas and would highly recommend if you like walking. Great access to the coast path leading to Lyme Regis and Charmouth. Grounds are great for dog walking and easy access to the main road to Bridport and Devon.
