• "This is our second visit to Charm cottage within 4 months."

  Charm cottage is charming. However, hot water instructions for boiler requires information, about how to turn ON hot water, to be ABOVE the actual smaller boiler control unit on the left hand side of the cupboard wall were this small unit is. Still suggest that there should be larger coconut matting (mat) by front door as you enter into cottage, would ensure no mess goes onto actual carpet. Otherwise all good. A relaxing time had by all. Charm cottage is a gem.

• "Lovely property, just a short walk from Charmouth beach."

  This was perfect for our stay. My only complaint is there was something sharp on the stairs which I cut my foot on, but I wasn’t sure where I could log this issue. The cottage was clean and the selection of welcome ‘gifts’ were a lovely touch. We had a lovely stay and we wished we stayed there longer!

• "Charm Cottage is such an apt name for this wonderful and quirky cottage."

  As you step through the front door you enter a calm and tranquil sanctuary. A wonderful social setting for you and your loved ones. You walk over the threshold into a large room that is superbly laid out with 3 double sofas and a family dining table. The kitchen is down 2 steps and is kitted out to suit everyones needs. There is a ground floor full bath plus shower, toilet etc, very spacious bathroom. Paito doors lead from the kitchen into a large courtyard garden, great for outdoor dining and most importantly sorting through your fossil finds. Up the stair case leads you to 2 double bedrooms one with ensued (toilet and sink) plus a separate shower room (with toilet). The mattresses on all of the beds were so comfortable, we all went straight off to sleep as soon as our heads hit the super comfortable pillows. Then there was another flight of stairs up to the loft bedroom that my grandson loved, with a fantastic view out of the large window. A few minutes walk from Charm Cottage (2 or 3 minutes) is the Royal Oak Inn where you can have the most sumptuous meals, far superior and better quality food than any London establishment, You can meander down to the Beach via Lower Sea Lane, about a 10 minute walk from Charm Cottage, to either fossil hunt or just relax and watch the world go by. We did not want to leave Charm cottage. We will definitely be booking again in the Autumn for another stay at this Charming cottage.

• "The cottage is in a great location with an easy walk to the beach."

  Spacious living accommodation and good facilities, beds were comfy! Lovely decoration throughout. However we had NO hot water or heating on our final evening and the next morning - we followed the instructions on the boiler and although the lights on the control panel were on, the boiler didn’t fire up. Not ideal after the whole family had been on the been beach and got wet and cold. We also couldn’t find a direct local number to contact? Overall we had a lovely time in Charmouth and would love to come back.

• "I think we had not understood well enough the difficulty presented by the stairs in this cottage."

  As older people in mid 70's, they presented a real challenge physically and safety wise. This was also the case for our two little grand children. I think this issue needs to be stated a bit more clearly. Also, it would have been better to have provided a small map of the cottage location vis a vis the town shops and parking. Beds very comfortable.

• "Thank you for such a wonderful stay at Charm Cottage."

  We (family of 4) were so warm and comfortable. The welcome pack was a lovely touch and we enjoyed sampling the contents on our wet fossil hunting missions! Kitchen well stocked, plenty of towels. Fabulous cottage in a superb location. Would definitely recommended.

  Just a little comment : the DVD player does not seem to be working. Otherwise everything was great, comfy beds, well equipped kitchen and very nice living space

  It's so great to hear that you enjoyed your time at Charm Cottage. We will take a look at the DVD player. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

• "We have totally fallen in love with your cottage."

  Everything has been so well thought through that we come home and copy some of the ideas. Only a couple of little points. As a mixed age group, it would be useful to have a second door key. And I know this is seems to be a post Covid problem, but the check-in and check-out times are rather unkind, especially the 4 pm. Many thanks.

• "Beautiful and clean, comfortable, spacious cottage (we were a party of 6 adults) with a touch of luxury with feather duvets and pillows."

  The cottage is within walking distance of shop, pubs and beach. Only flaw is that there was to much equipment in the kitchen cupboards which made it feel cluttered, leaving no room to store dry food items. The iron did not work well and was surprised on our last day when putting the rubbish out there was already existing rubbish in the waste box.

• "Lovely property, beautifully renovated and well situated on the main route through Charmouth."

  Welcome hamper appreciated. Reasons for lower ratings: when we arrived the property smelt unusual and we finally figured out this was due to the dishwasher having old congealed food at the bottom of it and in the filter which we then had to get out by hand. Very unpleasant and not something you expect for the price paid. We also had to wash everything we used as it just looked grimey. Also the listing states on road parking is available however, I think it should be made clear that The Street and most roads surrounding are double yellow lined, with the occasion parking bays outlined. These aren't easy to come by at all, and sometimes mean you have to park considerably far away, not ideal for anyone with small children/elderly/disabled. Both above points are not reflective of the cottage itself, which is beautiful, but definitely things to consider if I were to rebook (which I would consider being a regular Charmouth visitor)

  We are pleased to be able to offer a delightful cottage in Charmouth, including a small welcome hamper for our guests. We're sorry to hear that there were some cleanliness issues with the dishwasher. This is certainly not how we would expect the property to be left and have asked our Housekeeping Team to take note. As a local agent we have a team available to respond to any issues of cleanliness or maintenance during your stay, and would encourage you to contact us so that we can attend and rectify any such issues. We hope to see you again in the future. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

• "Very good cottage that suited us very well."

  We liked using the courtyard. Although on the road through the village we didn’t find the road noise intrusive even though being warm, we had bedroom windows open slightly at night. The attic room has great views.

• "Lovely property."

  Very comfortable beds and well equipped. Brilliant location walking distance to the beach. The courtyard garden is a lovely space to sit and relax. It would be useful if oven gloves and a water jug could be provided - otherwise it had everything we needed.
