  • "Thank you we enjoyed a wonderful week."

    The beds were extremely comfortable, I even took a sneak at the mattress name to possibly purchase one at home. Only couple of bits to note: children picked out dvd ( from your shelves) to watch only to find no player? Also would be nice to have clothes airer as struggled to dry our beach towels. But overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and made good use of the accommodation as our base for exploring.

    Dear Kathryn Thank you for your helpful feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay. We will buy a clothes airer and either get a new DVD player or remove the DVD's. Best wishes. Jackie and Simon Property Owner

  • "The house was OK."

    Clean and basic facilities. It was dingy and claustrophobic - one window at the front obscured by an overgrown bush, and one at the back in the kitchen. No windows up stairs, only roof lights. The place welcomes pets (we don't have any), but had a bit of a musty smell of wet dog. There's shelves in the living room well stocked with books etc, but this gave the impression of being cluttered. There's lots of pictures on the walls at odd places, looking behind these cover dents/marks in the wall. No usable outside space - There was a back garden but no access to it - the only access being via the side and back of the row of properties, which was not at all practical. There's a bench at the front facing an overgrown bush and overgrown brambles. Facilities were basic - no washing machine or dish washer. Parking wasn't ideal. There are spaces more or less in front of the property which is fine, if they are available. More than once these were all taken and we had to park at the other end of the site (by the refuse/recycling bins). There is a hotel on the side with restaurant and pool. We didn't use these facilities, the weather wasn't quite good enough for the outside pool and there are plenty of nice restaurants in the area to try. Charmouth, Lyme Regis, and the Jurassic coast is a lovely area. If you're loking for somewhere basic, then this is fine. Would we recommend it, not really, unfortunately, I am sure there are better properties for the price to rent in the area.

    Hi Toby Thank you for your feedback. There is a washing/drying room on the Fernhill site so I will make sure that this is mentioned in the property information. We will prune the plants outside the front . We were unaware there was an issue with any brambles - apologies for this. It does mention in the property writeup about access to the back garden; the flip side to this is that there is a downstairs toilet which is helpful for many. We would describe the property as comfortable; this is our experience, and the feedback from the majority of people who have stayed there over the years. Best wishes. Jackie Property Owner

  • "We really enjoyed our stay at 50 Fernhill heights the proximity to Charmouth and Lyme Regis is brilliant."

    The only thing that could be improved is somewhere to dry beach clothes as no washing line/dryer in the garden or dryer inside the house. The kitchen was very well equipped. A pint of milk and some water would have been nice when we arrived after a long journey. There was a little problem with the shower but that was fixed on our first day without needing to contact anyone. We stayed with our children who really loved the property.

    Dear Emma Thank you for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay. We will buy a clothes airer. A welcome pack is provided to guests when they arrive. Best wishes. Jackie Property Owner

The property

50 Fernhill Heights is a a 2 bedroomed holiday property located between the coastal towns of Charmouth and Lyme Regis, on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast in Dorset.

With the coast, beaches and a great range of local attractions within easy reach, this pet friendly property is a great choice for couples or families at any time of the year. Step inside to the open plan living area, with comfortable seating creating the perfect place to sit back and relax after a day at the beach.

The kitchen, located at the rear of the property, overlooks the garden and the trees and woodland planting beyond.

When it is time for bed, head upstairs to the two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both served by the family bathroom also located on the first floor.

The garden is accessed via a path which runs from the car parking area and along the back of the properties with steps taking you down to a decked seating area, furnished with table and chairs.

Backing on to woodland, there is direct access to the coastal footpath from the surrounding grounds and the site is adjacent to Lyme Regis golf course.

Head into Charmouth where you will find a good selection of shops and places to eat as well as the beach which is a popular destination for beach goers and fossil hunters alike.

Learn about the areas rich geological history at the Charmouth Heritage Coast centre, located on the seafront, or join one of the fossil hunting trips along the shore.

Neighbouring Lyme Regis is only a short car or bus ride away, with the bus stopping at the entrance of the hotel, and offers a great day out with its beaches and famous Cobb harbour, the backdrop for many films and TV adaptations.

Why not take a day trip to nearby Beer, a popular fishing village with a pebble beach and a backdrop of limestone cliffs.

A popular spot for swimming and paddle boarding, the beach is also home to beach front cafes, where you can sit and enjoy a bite to eat and watch the local fishing boats come ashore with their catches.

Other popular days out include Sidmouth, a regency seaside town and home to the Donkey Sanctuary – a firm favourite with adults and children alike.

50 Fernhill heights is a great choice for experiencing all this and so much more.

Note: the rear garden is not accessible from the property itself, there is a footpath which leads around to the rear. The garden is multi level and has steep steps so may not be suitable for young children or anyone with limited mobility
