Property code: OC-WY395

Enjoy the best of all worlds at this enchanting, two-bedroomed, family-friendly cottage. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, it’s just a mile from the beach and, to add to your holiday fun, it offers access to a shared outdoor swimming pool and BBQ area. It’s the perfect retreat for a family or group of friends to enjoy adventures along the stunning Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Part of a group of holiday properties set within the grounds of a Georgian country hotel, this mid-terrace cottage is a cheerful setting for a family break close to the Dorset coast. Step inside and you’ll find all the comforts of home, with wood-effect laminate flooring and comfortable seating setting the scene for companionable evenings in front of the TV. To the rear of the lounge, there’s a dining suite with room for all four guests. Adjacent, the contemporary kitchen has everything you’ll need for a fuss-free stay and views towards the woods. A shared laundry room is available too. The main family bathroom is conveniently located on the ground floor, while upstairs there are two bedrooms, each filled with light thanks to a skylight window. Ensuring there’s flexibility for any party make-up, there’s a king-size room with its own en-suite bathroom and a twin room. Outside, a shared walkway leads up to a small garden with seating – a relaxing spot for some laid-back leisure time. Guests here also have access to the hotel’s shared BBQ area and outdoor swimming pool – slots are bookable a day in advance.

The cottage is surrounded by 30 acres of fields and woodlands, with a secluded ornamental lake close by. A mile away, Charmouth offers a choice of great pubs, cafes, shops and restaurants and has a lovely sandy beach that’s a favourite for fossil hunting. Historic Lyme Regis (2.5 miles) is where the rugged West Dorset and East Devon coastlines meet. Visit its beautiful harbour for a stroll along the famous 13th-century Cobb wall.

The cottage was in a nice, if somewhat isolated, location. Some information about walks, using off road paths, to Charmouth or Lyme Regis would be useful.

The terraced accommodation was not highlighted on the advertisement. Its location was ideal for touring the area.

House was clean and tidy and well furnished and the welcome pack which catered to all our tastes was appreciated. Property needs some attention with more information being provided and consistency with advertised features like laundry room, hotel grounds and BBQ. The twin room is not really recommended for adults until improvements are made. BewareRead more of ticks around "lake" area. It took an hour to walk to Charmouth beach and a similar time to walk to Lyme Regis. Both pubs in Charmouth had very good food. Royal Oak needs a telephone booking. Hide

Lovely spacious accommodation, nice welcome wine and biscuits, also 2 bottles of water as needed due to natural spring. Well equipped kitchen and good WiFi connection (teenager was pleased). Just a short drive to Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Bridport and Axminster within easy journey too.
