Sidmouth, Seaton and the old fishing village of Beer are a short drive away and there are many other attractions to discover including Pecorama, Beer Caves, Seaton Tramway, Crealy, Bicton Park, Burrows Farm Gardens, Killerton and Knightshayes Court. The Jurassic Coastal Bus stops at the bottom of the drive making it very convenient for journeys out without the car.

Stepping inside the beautifully presented accommodation, the open-plan lounge/dining/sleeping area is compact, yet light and airy. There is a separate kitchen equipped with an electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, where you can prepare romantic meals for two. Enjoy a cup of coffee or leisurely meal at the bistro-style dining table in the main living accommodation before settling down for a cosy evening in front of the Smart TV, or perhaps watch a DVD on the Blu-ray player. Enjoy a restful night's sleep in the double bed and completing the accommodation is a light and bright shower room with WC.

Immediately outside the property is a small, shared open courtyard area with a table and chairs.

A lovely little cabin with all you need in one space Ideal location for getting to local attractions. A little disappointed that the shared swimming pool had to be booked for a 1hr slot, 10am- 11am. We didn't use the pool because of this limited availability. Otherwise, this was a good base for us with our dog.

First of all, I would like to say the whole place was really very clean. Having to park the car about 100 m away, you have to go down a gradient with your suitcases and all the rest of the items you need for your stay,and then go down five steep steps, navigate your way through the small privet area to the front door.

Highly recommend this accommodation for its practicalities, the location is great for walking into Lyme Regis and isn't far to Chalmouth beach either. Modern bathroom and kitchen, more than ample space for a short break. Bus stop just outside accommodation if walking is an issue if you want to leave the car behind. Lovely white towels for your duraRead moretion and owners left shampoos,tooth brushes and soaps should you need them. There was washing up liquid, bin liners, loo rolls and plenty of foil! Hide

Nice clean cosy accommodation ideal for a weeks break, couldn't find fault. The walk into Charmouth is along a busy road, was definitely doable but unfortunately my dog is afraid of traffic, so we couldn't do it. The Royal Oak in Charmouth was very dog friendly with good food, would definitely recommend a visit there or two.
