Located within a gated holiday complex in Charmouth, this four-person cottage benefits from an array of onsite facilities and nearby attractions, perfect for family groups. Appealing to all generations, you can spend fun mornings together swimming in the heated outdoor swimming pool at the neighbouring holiday park in summer, before venturing out to refuel in one of the many eateries just 0.5 miles away. Brilliant for both leisure and play, you can get to know the picturesque streets of Charmouth as well as making the most of the great proximity to the coast – with miles of Jurassic Coastline to discover right on your doorstep.

Perfectly catering for families and couples, this bright and airy property has everything you could need for a rejuvenating break. Downstairs, a cosy lounge with access to an enclosed patio through French doors and a kitchen/diner capitalise on space, providing everything you could need for relaxing and cooking at home. Meanwhile upstairs, you will find two tastefully presented bedrooms, each with plenty of light and characterfully sloping ceilings set within the eaves. Completing the picture is a family bathroom and a separate WC.

On days when you don’t feel like wandering too far, you are invited to use the leisure facilities of the neighbouring holiday park, which include a shared, covered outdoor heated swimming pool (seasonal use), a health club with indoor pool, steam room and sauna, a shared outdoor childrens play area and a popular coffee shop. For adventures further afield, there are also many beautiful locations just a stone’s throw away, including the fossil-haven of Lyme Regis, known as the Pearl of Dorset (4.5 miles) and the golden sands of Hive Beach (9.5 miles).

Enjoyed ourselves, would go again. Pool was open 10 till 5 and closed for lunch. If you use it you might feel you've wasted a day out. 4 o'clock seemed the busiest for that reason. Polite staff, very accommodating. Not a great deal in the immediate area, although beach was about 10-15 minute walk....20 if you have kids

The cottage is for 4 people and there is literally 4 of everything, no spares which means you have to put the dishwasher on a lot - only one tablet and a clean dishcloth provided. There is nothing left behind here - no tin foil, cling film - even the salt and pepper shakers are empty. No spare pillows, just one per person. The king size bed has a sRead moretrange foam topper which makes it feel like a waterbed. No WiFi which is mean in 2025! Pool only 1 hour per day and watched like a hawk. Hide
