What a great place to stay, ideal for walking the costal paths directly from the cottage.Buses to lyme regis and local areas are on the road outside the accommodation. Had a wonderful stay, cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean. We had a great time.

The property was v good value for money and is located in a beautiful area very close to the beach with shops accessible for your essentials; NISA shop and FAB fish and chippy on the way into Charmouth. Having use of the hotel pool was a real bonus although just be warned, you cannot swim by yourself as they do not have a pool attendant.

Lovely location with good walks for the dog. Lyme Regis and Charmouth are in easy reach. If you fancy a walk, the footpaths are easy to navigated. Two negative comments.
