"Lovely cottage in nice location, very comfortable and clean."
welcome pack, nice touch. Property cannot be seen from the road, name plate at end of drive would be useful. Very narrow road, unable to see either way when exiting the drive onto the road, have to drive off blind. Decking very slippery when wet, note on patio door would be useful.

"Charlesmead was very clean, well equipped, cosy and comfortable."
We would certainly stay again.

"Charlesmead is in such a great location, just a short and very picturesque walk into Lyme Regis along the river."
The views from the property and garden are really lovely and we were made to feel very welcome.

"In need of tlc generally, needs decorating, new dining and living room furniture, and tidying of what was clearly a gorgeous garden at one point."
Exterior of house and garden shabby. Beds very comfortable. Linen provided was good. Lots of extras which some homes don't provide, such as loo rolls, bin bags, dishwasher tabs, tea, coffee, handwash. Lovely welcome basket. A comfortable and enjoyable stay in a stunning location, but the property needs some work.

"Thank you, we enjoyed the stay"

"This is a lovely property in a superb setting, well-equipped and with many thoughtful touches that were much appreciated."
The only, very minor, niggle is the lack of lighting over the bathroom mirror. Beautiful garden and views. We look forward to returning next year. Many thanks to Ian, the owner.

"Charlesmead is an outstanding wooden bungalow that enabled us to spend a really relaxing holiday here."
It is superbly furnished & equipped; furthermore, it is enclosed by a lovely garden with an exquisite collection of shrubs & trees all arranged with an artist's eye. The view from the wooden balcony to the hills in the north-east is very pleasant & restful. Ian, the owner, was very welcoming & helpful in accommodating our needs. We definitely want to stay here again in the future.

Very private outlook with beautiful views of the countryside. We will definitely stay here again!

"A very nice comfortable cottage we enjoyed our stay"

"The property needs some updating and maintenance, the guttering outlet was blocked with a plant that we had to pull out to let the water run away, the drainage to the rear had the grating removed and lent against the wall which is a trip hazard, also no welcome pack which is unusual for lyme Bay holidays we think that charlesmead was over priced for the time of rental."
-
"Very comfortable, well-equipped accommodation with great views, and we appreciated the patio being in sunshine both morning and early evening!"
The shop at the local garage is very useful and the bus service along the coast is excellent. The riverside walk into Lyme is very attractive, but walking back after dinner you definitely need a torch. We had a great holiday and would definitely stay at Charlesmead again.

About the location
UPLYME
Lyme Regis 1 mile
The beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Uplyme, on the borders of Devon and Dorset, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, criss-crossed by bridleways and footpaths including the East Devon Way, and providing perfect country walks and superb views. The area was chosen by TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his River Cottage HQ at Park Farm, where you can treat yourself to a great meal. Just a short drive takes you to the stunning Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. This delightful historic seaside town boasts a maze of narrow streets, with an interesting array of shops and cafes, whilst the sandy beach lends itself to great bathing and watersports, and the bustling little harbour offers regular fishing trips, or try your hand at fossil hunting. Within an easy drive is the quaint town of Axminster, or how about a ride on the Seaton Tramway? A glorious location for a varied and interesting holiday.
