Quaint Georgian architecture and comfortable furnishings. Spacious modern bathroom was particularly nice. Arrived during a mini heatwave so the portable aircon unit was great to use in the kitchen-diner area.

The apartment was beyond my expectations in every aspect. Excellent communication from the host in collecting keys. The apartment was very clean and tidy and was very well appointed. There is nothing I could fault. I loved the shower in the bathroom. The lounge area was certainly bigger than expected which was great. I would certainly stay here again and I think the apartment is suitable for both business travelers and people wanting to spend a holiday in Dorset. There are plenty of car parks nearby the property so I had no issue parking. The fact that they were free from 6pm to 8pm was certainly a bonus. The one I used was Durngate Street car park which is actually visible from the lounge and bedroom windows of the apartment. The parking spaces are narrow in Durngate Street car park but everyone that parked there did park nicely so I had no issues getting in and out the car.

The location was lovely and peaceful with the beach just a few minutes walk away down the lane, a fish and chip shop (take-away only) and two pubs just around the corner. Charmouth is a lovely village and within easy reach of Lyme Regis which is just a couple of miles away. The room was exceptionally clean with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was generally very good.

Very well appointed and beautifully presented holiday home. Lots of thoughtful extra touches made this a perfect choice for our short break. The layout of the home was great for us as a family of 3 adults, with the two bedrooms at either end with their own bathrooms. We were grateful to the owner for letting us check in early so that we could get to our family party.

The location was very good and the village very quiet. All the places we have planed to visit were within an hour drive maximum. There was no food including - it is a self catering place. The shop in front of the house was perfect, with all what we needed for cooking by ourself.
