Property code: OC-RESTA

Perfectly positioned less than a mile from the spectacular Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, escape to Dorset for a well-deserved break. Sleeping four guests across two bedrooms, this home is great for family breaks or get togethers with a couple of friends. With access to the neighbouring holiday park and its shared facilities, spend every moment of your holiday enjoying time with loved ones, whether you’re getting salty and sandy at the Charmouth beach or swimming lengths of the pool.

Stepping inside this comfortable home, find yourselves in the open-plan heart of the house, the lounge/diner. With all you need to enjoy a night in, sink into the welcoming sofas and switch on the TV for a family film night. If the evening is balmy and light, throw open the French doors and let the warm air flood inside. After long adventures or beach days, cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen where you will find all you need to feed four hungry mouths. Dine inside or out and enjoy making the most of the patio area for sundowner drinks after swims, steams and saunas in the shared facilities next door. If you’re spending lots of time at the beach, make use of the handy utility room, perfect for washing and drying salty towels ahead of tomorrow’s plans. Long days call for cosy nights and peaceful night’s sleep; the two, first-floor bedrooms have characterful, sloping ceilings and provide you with a calming space to rest up. Soak in the tub for a relaxing start to your day before heading downstairs to put the kettle on. There is ample off-road parking.

An abundance of places to explore lie in wait. Fill your day with sandy toes and salty hair and enjoy a spot of fossil hunting and sea swimming at one of the many beaches which dot the local coastline. Closest to home is Charmouth (less than a mile) or travel further towards the bustling resort of Lyme Regis (4.5 miles). Surrounded by beautiful places, venture into the heart of the East Devon AONB (15 miles) or the Blackdown Hills AONB (16 miles).

We loved our stay in Rest Ashore, ideal location for walking to Charmouth and base for visiting surrounding areas. We have been coming to this area for many years and it was a super break.
