This comfortable, compact and welcoming property is perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway and a great base for discovering the area. Situated on a small holiday complex just outside the coastal village of Charmouth, the beautiful 30 acre site includes two small lakes and a 4 star hotel which has a Café Bar, restaurant and Spa facilities. Located on the Jurassic Coastal Path diversion with access from the doorstep to more than 250 miles of wonderful coastal walks, the property is situated on the West Dorset/East Devon border, so you are ideally placed for touring both counties. A short distance away, the World Heritage site of Lyme Regis and its famous Cobb harbour, bright boats, narrow streets and fossil-rich cliffs also boasts a good choice of shops, inns, restaurants and cafes. Sidmouth, Seaton and the old fishing village of Beer are a short drive away and there are many other attractions to discover including Pecorama, Beer Caves, Seaton Tramway, Crealy, Bicton Park, Burrows Farm Gardens, Killerton and Knightshayes Court. The Jurassic Coastal Bus stops at the bottom of the drive making it very convenient for journeys out without the car.

Stepping inside the beautifully presented accommodation, the open-plan lounge/dining/sleeping area is compact, yet light and airy. There is a separate kitchen equipped with an electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, where you can prepare romantic meals for two. Enjoy a cup of coffee or leisurely meal at the bistro-style dining table in the main living accommodation before settling down for a cosy evening in front of the Smart TV, or perhaps watch a DVD on the Blu-ray player. Enjoy a restful night's sleep in the double bed and completing the accommodation is a light and bright shower room with WC.

Immediately outside the property is a small, shared open courtyard area with a table and chairs. There is also a shared lawn area with seating and a BBQ for enjoying al fresco meals, together with beautifully maintained shared gardens and two lakes for romantic strolls. Between May and September, guests are also invited to use the shared heated outdoor swimming pool - guests can book a 50 minute slot each day for the pool (maximum 1 slot per household per day) – there will be a non-refundable payment of £2 per person, details of the booking system will be displayed in the property on arrival.

A lovely little cabin with all you need in one space Ideal location for getting to local attractions. A little disappointed that the shared swimming pool had to be booked for a 1hr slot, 10am- 11am. We didn't use the pool because of this limited availability. Otherwise, this was a good base for us with our dog.

First of all, I would like to say the whole place was really very clean. Having to park the car about 100 m away, you have to go down a gradient with your suitcases and all the rest of the items you need for your stay,and then go down five steep steps, navigate your way through the small privet area to the front door.

Highly recommend this accommodation for its practicalities, the location is great for walking into Lyme Regis and isn't far to Chalmouth beach either.

Nice clean cosy accommodation ideal for a weeks break, couldn't find fault. The walk into Charmouth is along a busy road, was definitely doable but unfortunately my dog is afraid of traffic, so we couldn't do it. The Royal Oak in Charmouth was very dog friendly with good food, would definitely recommend a visit there or two.
