Overview
Property code: DC014

Original characterful features collide with contemporary amenities for an authentic but modern getaway. You will be proud to call this charming Georgian cottage your home-from-home on your visit to the coastal Dorset village of Charmouth.

This handsome Georgian cottage sits in a prime position on the village high street in Charmouth, just half a mile from the beach which has been voted the world's number one best beach to visit in winter by Lonely Planet. Beautifully refurbished inside, the cottage's spacious rooms feature original floorboards, quality furnishings, fresh contemporary decor and charming sash windows with shutters. After a busy day on the beach or walking the spectacular Dorset countryside, return to your delightful private garden for an al-fresco meal.

Enjoy cosy nights in beside the roaring open fire in the warm and welcoming lounge. With a Smart TV with BT Sport and DVD player, a sound system with iPod dock, both CD and vinyl record players, fully stocked bookshelves, a games cupboard and even a digital piano, this room has something for everyone. The kitchen/diner is a light and airy room with terracotta tiles, a Belfast sink, a range-style cooker, a fully equipped kitchen and a bright dining area that opens out onto the garden. When the sun is shining, there’s no better place to enjoy meals and drinks than in the private garden surrounded by fruit trees, palms and pretty flowers and of course Baytrees. Unrestricted street parking in front of the cottage or there is a public car park (pay and display) within a 5 minute walk from the property.

Charmouth is a beautiful and timeless village on Dorset’s dramatic Jurassic Coast. Boasting a range of shops including a good food store, independent bakery and pharmacy, cafes and takeaways together with a family-friendly beach famous for its fossils, this is the perfect destination for adults and children alike. Keen walkers should follow the spectacular South West Coast Path to nearby Lyme Regis (6 miles) or Sea Town (5 miles) while River Cottage fans shouldn’t miss a visit to the canteen and deli close to the market town of Axminster (5.5 miles).

An amazing, comfortable house, suited to the area. Also an amazing location. Sunny, well equipped, well served re local facilities, and a good hub for the area, yet without the hustle and bustle and hills of Lyme itself . Wonderful beach , full of fossils and an interesting visitor centre suitable for all ages. We will definitely be recommending toRead more friends and family (though not those mwith small children, due to stairs). Hide

Cottage is lovely and well equipped, had everything we needed and much more. Beds were lovely, comfortable and clean. The use of an airer and outside drying space was a real bonus especially when staying for 2 weeks. Charmouth is a lovely unspoilt village with only a 5 minute walk to the beach.
