  • Cosy single-level, studio-style accommodation with a contemporary feel throughout
  • Set on a 30 acre site with an on-site hotel which has a restaurant and shared outdoor heated swimming pool (pool open from May to September)

Property code: 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. Between May and September, a dip in the shared heated outdoor swimming pool is a great way to start the day (please see the 'need to know' for more information).

This beautiful 30-acre site boasts two small lakes and a hotel with a bar, restaurant and spa facilities. 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.

Beautiful and lovely cottage, extremely clean and tidy. The kitchen is fully equipped, fresh towels, lovely linen and even a towel for your pet! The location from the beach is much further than I expected and not within an easy walking distance. Would I stay again? Yes definitely!

Highly recommend this accommodation for its practicalities, the location is great for walking into Lyme Regis and isn't far to Chalmouth beach either. Modern bathroom and kitchen, more than ample space for a short break. Bus stop just outside accommodation if walking is an issue if you want to leave the car behind. Lovely white towels for your duraRead moretion and owners left shampoos,tooth brushes and soaps should you need them. There was washing up liquid, bin liners, loo rolls and plenty of foil! Hide

Nice clean cosy accommodation ideal for a weeks break, couldn't find fault. The walk into Charmouth is along a busy road, was definitely doable but unfortunately my dog is afraid of traffic, so we couldn't do it. The Royal Oak in Charmouth was very dog friendly with good food, would definitely recommend a visit there or two.

Immaculately turned out cabin, with a patio facing the morning sun, perfect for breakfast. Fully kitted out kitchen, fridge and freezer drawer. Helpful cupboard of cleaning bits too! Sofa is comfy, bed is comfy. Cabin is surrounded by other cabins, but no one else was staying when we visited so we were completely alone. The grounds are lovely to waRead morelk around, and discover the lakes and benches in the evening sun. Parking is down the hill. Super convenient for Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Loved it! Hide
