  • With walks from the doorstep and within easy reach of Lyme Regis, with its famous Cobb harbour and fossil-rich cliffs
Property code: OC-41890

This cosy studio-style property is the perfect retreat for romantic getaways for two near the sea. Set within a small holiday complex just outside the coastal village of Charmouth, it is only 1 mile from the pebble and sandy beach, selection of eateries and Heritage Centre. Back at the single-storey property, the accommodation is modern and bright, opening onto a shared courtyard and lawn with BBQ for those balmy summer evenings.

Light and airy, this property is a great base from which to explore the Jurassic Coast. Rustle up tasty meals for two in the delightful modern kitchen, which together with a modern shower room is separate from the rest of the accommodation. Dine at the round table for two before settling down on the inviting sofa to enjoy a cosy evening in front of the Smart TV. When it’s time for bed, sink into the double bed. In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun on the shared courtyard or lawn, or take a romantic stroll around the lakes.

This beautiful 30-acre site boasts two small lakes. Beyond the complex, the dramatic Jurassic Coast has plenty to offer. Follow the South West Coast Path from Charmouth, heading east towards the seaside resort of West Bay (9 miles) and the market town of Bridport, or west towards the fossil-rich beach and pretty harbour at Lyme Regis (2 miles). Sidmouth (20 miles), Seaton (11.5 miles) and the old fishing village of Beer (13 miles) are a short drive away, while heading inland the Blackdown Hills (12 miles) offer spectacular walks with breathtaking elevated views.

A lovely, secluded retreat but well positioned to explore the whole area. If you have mobility problems, perhaps ask for a different unit - they all look similarly well appointed and welcoming. The owners have left an extremely helpful guide and manual with all the answers to your queries.

Didn't feel like holiday accommodation felt like on a housing estate. Pool wasn't open and looked unappealing. Way to close to neighbours so not much privacy.

This little cottage has everything a couple could want for a short break in the Lyme Regis area. The cabin is well equipped for those wishing to self cater, the bed is wonderfully comfortable and the little sofa likewise. Heating is good for those chilly days. Good WiFi. Outside area is small and not at all private but sufficient to sit with a mornRead moreing coffee and croissant before heading off for a day's exploring. Only negative is the tiled floor can be cold underfoot so maybe take slippers! Hide

A lovely little cabin with all you need in one space Ideal location for getting to local attractions. A little disappointed that the shared swimming pool had to be booked for a 1hr slot, 10am- 11am. We didn't use the pool because of this limited availability. Otherwise, this was a good base for us with our dog.

First of all, I would like to say the whole place was really very clean. Having to park the car about 100 m away, you have to go down a gradient with your suitcases and all the rest of the items you need for your stay,and then go down five steep steps, navigate your way through the small privet area to the front door.
