Overview
Property code: OC-50033

Set in a peaceful rural location just 3.5 miles from Charmouth Beach, this property offers a tranquil stay to its guests. Sleeping four across two cosy bedrooms, you could all soon be enjoying the beautiful Jurassic coastline that is just a few miles from your door. Head to Lyme Regis (4 miles) and amble down the historic harbour, the Cobb, or take the South West Coast Path from the beach and discover the ammonite pavement that has been there for millions of years.

The property, which is found at the end of a path leading from the parking area, is spacious and comfortable. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is fresh and bright with a cottage-style feel, while sumptuous sofas and pretty coastal touches in the lounge make it the perfect place to curl up after a long day out exploring this stunning part of the South West. At the end of the day, retire to perfectly serene bedrooms; wake up the next day among calming and neutral decor, grab your morning coffee and sip it on the sunny terrace as the world begins to wake up.

Take a stroll around the beautiful estate at Forde Abbey House and Gardens (7 miles) or Burrow Farm Gardens (7 miles) where there are lots of wonderful features to enjoy. Children will love seeing the deer at the South West Deer Rescue (10.5 miles) and the friendly animals at Axe Valley Wildlife Park (4 miles). But let’s not forget the stunning beaches at your disposal; as well as Lyme Regis and Charmouth, the pebbled Seaton Beach (9 miles) is perfect for paddleboarding or kayaking. West Bay (11.5 miles) has two beaches; East Beach is famous from ITV’s Broadchurch, while West Beach is ideal for young families thanks to its picturesque cove.

We couldn't fault the cottage, or its immediate surrounds, but Scotts Lane was quite busy at all times and there was no low speed limit, despite there were three entranes to the Monkton Wyld Caravan Park, which opposite the cottage.

We were also disappointed there were very few local facilities, which meant a drive into Axminster for any serious food shopping. Cottage A1; Location poor, Hide

Very pleasant stay. The property had plenty of room for us and our Golden Retriever. The fenced back garden was good and the exercise field a few yards up the road was great for letting off canine steam. There's a handy shop over the road for essentials. The location was excellent for exploring the Charmouth, Lyme Regis and Seaton areas. The HunterRead mores Lodge Inn served decent pub food and was very dog friendly. It was only 3 minutes drive away, but you wouldn't want to walk there because you'd be walking on the A35 with no footpath. Hide

What a wonderful place Laneside is. Ideally placed to visit Lyme Regis, Burton Bradstock, Sidmouth and surrounding areas. Great for walking, especially dog walking. Having dog paddock so close is a real bonus. The cottage is comfy, cosy and very clean with everything you could need. We've just been on our second visit and looking to book again.

What a find ! First visit to Laneside ... not the last. Spotlessly clean, cosy bungalow, ideal for me, my labrador and my sister.

Clean, comfortable and spacious bungalow. Great for a larger dog with an enclosed garden. Incredibly well equipped, we asked reception about a cheese grater, within 2 hours a new one was hand delivered! Decent WiFi for teens. No smart TV, but choice of DVDs for rainy days. 8 minutes to Charmouth. The dog paddock is behind the garden and you can seeRead more over the fence so feels a little open. The road is much busier than expected so there is traffic noise. Perfect base, already booked again! Hide

A comfortable, well-appointed bungalow in an attractive location. Plenty to see and do within a few miles' drive and the cottage is well-connected, being close to the A35 but sufficiently far away for traffic noise not to be an issue. The property is certainly one to which we would return.

We stayed at Laneside for a week, mid August. It was very welcoming, from when you enter. Clean, fully equipped and very comfortable. There is even a small carton of milk in the fridge. Just be mindful, the fridge is small, so can't fit a lot. Having said that, Laneside is in a peaceful location, and has a private garden.

Nice little bungalow with a secure garden for our dog - close to the dog walking field so might not suit an easily triggered pet. The proximity to the campsite was useful for the site shop and food trucks. Especially useful because the fridge in the kitchen is tiny and the extra fridge in the utility room wasn't plugged in. Don't stock up too much Read morebefore you arrive! Hide

Changed our week from autumn to spring and got a summer heatwave! Bungalow spotless as always and staff friendly and helpful. Early morning starts due to the hot weather meant plenty of time, late afternoon, to enjoy drinks in the garden. Lovely burgers from the onsite food kitchen. Thankyou for a lovely stay.
