This cosy hideaway is the perfect choice for a romantic getaway for two. Set within a tranquil complex close to the Jurassic Coast and an ideal touring base for discovering Dorset, Devon and Somerset.

This cosy studio-style property is the perfect retreat for romantic getaways for two near the sea. Set within a small holiday complex just outside the coastal village of Charmouth, it is only 1 mile from the pebble and sandy beach, selection of eateries and Heritage Centre. Back at the single-storey property, the accommodation is modern and bright, opening onto a shared courtyard and lawn with BBQ for those balmy summer evenings.

Light and airy, this property is a great base from which to explore the Jurassic Coast. Rustle up tasty meals for two in the delightful modern kitchen, which together with a modern shower room is separate from the rest of the accommodation. Dine at the round table for two before settling down on the inviting sofa to enjoy a cosy evening in front of the Smart TV. When it’s time for bed, sink into the double bed. In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun on the shared courtyard or lawn, or take a romantic stroll around the lakes. Between May and September, a dip in the shared heated outdoor swimming pool is a great way to start the day (please see the 'need to know' for more information).

This beautiful 30-acre site boasts two small lakes and a hotel with a bar, restaurant and spa facilities. Beyond the complex, the dramatic Jurassic Coast has plenty to offer. Follow the South West Coast Path from Charmouth, heading east towards the seaside resort of West Bay (9 miles) and the market town of Bridport, or west towards the fossil-rich beach and pretty harbour at Lyme Regis (2 miles). Sidmouth (20 miles), Seaton (11.5 miles) and the old fishing village of Beer (13 miles) are a short drive away, while heading inland the Blackdown Hills (12 miles) offer spectacular walks with breathtaking elevated views.

Read the need to know section as there's some important info that isn't obvious when having a glance. There was very little instruction on how to find the property. It's located in an area of holiday homes and the sign for this property was faded and only readable once walking around trying to find it. This property may be pet friendly, but some ofRead more the residents aren't. There's a green area that we took our dog, with daggers being stared. Property is nice, good area to stay for beaches Hide

Smugglers rest had all the amenities we needed for our weeks stay. It was myself my wife and our little spaniel.. The 2 little lakes provided a nice place to walk the dog off lead early morning/evening. We didn't use the pool or hotel for food. It's a 20 min walk to Charmouth beach or 5 mins in car A days parking was 8 which seems a standard chargeRead more accross Dorset, however we found a little side street opposite the tennis courts to park for free. Bed comfy. TV WiFi great Above avge overall Hide

Very impressed with cottage and provisions left for us however we were not informed about the closure of the hotel so amenities such as bar ,restaurant and takeaway were not available to us despite them having outside space available. We would definitely return but only if hotel and amenities were fully available.
