  • Characterful and stylish 15th century terrace cottage within walking distance to the beach

  • Great destination for walking with many scenic routes inland and along the South West Coast Path
Overview
Property code: DC080

Located only half a mile from the wonderful Charmouth Beach, nothing says 'revitalise' like a healthy dose of sea air to start and end your day.

This charming 15th century cottage is nestled in a quiet terrace in the popular village of Charmouth. It is the perfect coastal retreat for families and friends looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Dorset and its Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. Just a short walk (approx. 500m) away is Charmouth beach, which is famous for its fossil hunting, so be sure to pack (or hire) your goggles and hammers. Heading 3 miles west, you will find yourself in the bustling seaside town of Lyme Regis where you can enjoy its beach, independent shops and eateries.

Despite its history, this cottage offers guests contemporary living in a light, bright and airy setting. Stepping down through the front door into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, you will appreciate the stylish décor that blends contemporary furniture, rustic furniture and mod-cons, which are all set off by the occasional splash of colour. Heading upstairs, there are three lovely bedrooms (2 doubles and 1 single) and a contemporary family bathroom. To the rear of the property is a private walled courtyard lined with containers of pretty shrubs and flowers, the perfect place for a morning coffee or al fresco meal.

This part of the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has plenty of stunning beaches, such as Seatown (6 miles) and West Bay (9 miles), which are all connected by the South West Coast Path, so put on your sensible shoes, stretch those legs and breathe in the sea air. For something different, you can wander around the quaint, historic village of Abbotsbury (17 miles) before walking amongst the swans at the swannery. Hopping across the border into Devon, you could visit the seaside town of Seaton (12 miles) and enjoy a tranquil tram ride to Colyton (10 miles).

Lovely little cottage where we spent Christmas as a family. Great spot to explore the area, walk to the beach and the pub. Drove into Lyme, Axminster and Bridport. Cottage had all we needed, sightly difficult to park. Woodburner was great for a chilly Christmas and we felt very cosy.

Absolutely loved this property. Real cottage feel to it with low ceilings, small windows, it was beautiful. There is absolutely nothing you need coming here, the owners had thought of everything. Even dog treats. Perfect few minutes walk to the beach, few little shops and close to Lyme Regis. This place is a must and we will be back to stay here.

A fab cottage, had everything we needed. We loved Charmouth, just a lovely little seaside town. Had some lovely meals in the local pubs. The beautiful town of Lyme Regis was only a short drive away. Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday roast in The Anchor Inn in Beer, which I'd highly recommend

A very pleased character property in a lovely village. We had a great week here. The parking at the property is only sufficient for a small car, so don't book based on onsite parking. But plenty of nr by places to park.

The cottage was in a good location, but the parking was horrendous unless you have a smart car ! And we were not in the height of season. I would say no more than 4 people to stay or 2 with one dog as the second main bedroom is tight .

We had a lovely stay at the cottage. We found it a peaceful, convenient and comfortable place to be. Charmouth is lovely with all the amenities you need as well as a good bus service. The bus stop to Lyme Regis is conveniently located opposite the cottage. Although on the main road the cottage was really quiet. It was easy to park both at the frontRead more and on the road. Thank you for the lovely welcome package (especially the fizz!) it was a lovely touch. Hide

The cottage itself is lovely but is on the main road through a very busy village. I was woken every morning by the noise of traffic....not my idea of a relaxing holiday. The small courtyard garden is in shade with the exception of a couple of hours of sun first thing in the morn. On the plus side - just a 10 minute walk to the beach...but very busyRead more as height of season... And a 5 minute walk to the pub...though the staff are not particularly welcoming/friendly Not a cottage for me Hide
