Situated on a secluded lane in the seaside village of Charmouth, this beautiful Victorian cottage is perfect for big family getaways. It’s located just 600 metres from Charmouth Beach and the South West Coast Path. And with a toddler-friendly playroom plus a fully stocked games room, this cottage offers a fun seaside escape for all ages.

This cottage’s spacious design boasts an array of original Victorian features. Seven steps lead up to the front porch where you’ll find space for shoes and coats. Then discover a bright double-aspect sitting room with a log burner and stunning sea views. The dining room is just as special thanks to its ornate Victorian fireplace and original wooden flooring. In the kitchen, you’ll find a beautiful range oven plus a dishwasher and breakfast bar. There’s also a handy utility room with washer and dryer plus access to one of the property’s three bathrooms. The other two are located upstairs alongside three well-considered bedrooms – a king-size and a twin which both feature Victorian fireplaces and sea views, plus a further twin. Outside, a bright conservatory opens out onto a patio and three terraced lawns. And if a games room with table football and pool table wasn’t enough, there’s also everything you need for badminton, croquet and lawn bowls. The garage has parking space for two cars.

After the family games, wander down to Charmouth Beach and visit the Heritage Coast Centre for an amazing display of fossils, wildlife and even a sea dragon! Locals regularly host rock pool rambles and the stretch of beach between Charmouth and Lyme Regis is renowned as one of the best in the UK. Lyme Regis itself is only 2 miles away and boasts an array of pubs, restaurants and even a fossil museum.

For location on the Jurassic Coast you cannot beat this cottage in Charmouth. Waking up to the view and sound of the sea is magic. A 5 minute walk will take you to the beach. The house is spacious and the garden is lovely, with lots of space for kids to play. The furnishings of house and kitchen are adequate but the property could use a little careRead more here and there. Hide

We were so happy to be in Leslie Cottage for Christmas. The house was wonderfully decorated for the holiday and is truly a warm and cosy place. It's a perfect family home with a games room for older kids and a perfect little den for the youngest and includes a lovely big garden for good weather. Kitchen is well supplied and easily allows for familyRead more holiday cooking. It's a wonderful location as well with the beach a short walk. We were all sorry to leave and wish we had booked for longer. Hide
