Organised fossil hunts run throughout the year. Located on the main street, with private parking, the beach and amenities are within a short walking distance, making it a fantastic location for your holiday on the south coast. The cottage is approx. 400 years old, with lots of character & has been sympathetically decorated & furnished. The Master Bedroom (on the first floor) has a memory foam mattress & has en-suite a second bedroom which has a small double bed is on the ground floor this also has a memory foam mattress and the second bathroom is also found on the ground floor. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS AN OLD COTTAGE AND HAS STEEP STAIRS TO THE UPSTAIRS BEDROOM. There is a well equipped Kitchen and dining area. Please be aware that as this is an old cottage, the stairs to the master bedroom are quite steep, I have shown a photo. The cottage has private car parking & is only a 5 minute walk to the beach. On arrival a key is located in a key box to enable you to arrive at a time that suits you (after 3.00 pm). There are 2 dog friendly pubs in Charmouth both serving food, the village also has a Chemist, small supermarket, bakery fish & chip take-away which is a few yards from the cottage front door. Everything you need for a self-catering holiday is just outside the front door! Please don't forget to add your dog to your reservation. The cottage is ideally located for visiting local villages and seaside towns, the bus stop is approximately 100 yards from the cottage front door so you can leave your car at the cottage if you don't want to drive. During the summer months there are always village fetes, village shows, street markets etc there's a real buzz about the area, Charmouth is not as busy as Lyme Regis but just as lovely, that's why I live here :-) ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total (up to 20 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36720000/36711400/36711343/5df2f098.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ammonite barn conversion in stunning location Beaminster - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 18 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=36711343&PinnedHotelID=36711343&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102030000/102029900/102029899/37dd94f3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 2 Bedroom Character Cottage Chideock - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 8.0 Very good 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=102029899&PinnedHotelID=102029899&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59660000/59651200/59651107/dc3b4ec0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Linhay Axminster - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi - Outdoor Space [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=59651107&PinnedHotelID=59651107&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Cottage | Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89880000/89870300/89870286/3c000fed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old Dairy Colyton - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Parking included [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-01&endDate=2026-01-02&selected=89870286&PinnedHotelID=89870286&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95510000/95505900/95505879/ae6a3d1f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Family farm, in beautiful Devon countryside, 4 miles from Lyme Regis.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John C. Aug 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Used for a meeting point between ourselves and friends. The accommodation was clean and very quaint and ideal for our use. The welcome letter was very touching and the compliments left i.e. milk, butter bread etc was a pleasant surprise.With the fish and chip shop and pubs along the road meant that we did not have to cook during our stay. Short walk to the beach and the seashore was very pleasant we would use the accommodation again without hesitation. ##### John C. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karun Apr 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Very lovely cottage. Safe and secure parking at the back. Located on the main road, but well insulated with double glazing from road noise. A short walk to local grocery shop (had fresh fruit and vegetables, and bacon and sausages from a local butcher), cafe, and 2 pubs, plus a great general store (Morgans) which was a life saver when we ran out of calpol and the local pharmacy was closed! All facilities available to make food at home, and i easily managed a home cooked easter sunday roast with fish bought from a visit to Lyme Regis a 9min drive away. Internet was very slow, but worked, saying this i had 5G phone signal throughout the cottage and switched to this when i needed. We visited Charmouth beach daily, (10-15min walk) and came back for lunch and dinner at home or in town as the offerings on the beach were very basic. Beds are memory foam and comfortable. Main bedroom is spacious with a generous sized bathroom (no baths). House is warm and was great to come back to from the colder rainier days we had. Very enjoyable stay would recommend to all. Will very likely visit again. ##### Karun Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunscape Coco Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Be-Live-Collection-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h975332.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Ghana](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Ghana-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d65-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Chateau Fredericton, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Fredericton-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-Fredericton.h12485882.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Guanacaste - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/El-Ocotal-Hotels-Riu-Guanacaste-All-Inclusive.h2818771.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/lhr/edmonton-to-london) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ath/toronto-to-athens) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Washington (DCA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dca/toronto-to-washington) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Thunder Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Thunder-Bay-Intl.d6033708.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Guyana Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Guyana.d74.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Dominican Republic](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/50/Dominican-Republic) > > [Collingwood Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Collingwood.d11938.Destination-Travel-Guides)
