4 bed barn conversion - Countryside & River + pets
We have had a fantastic stay at The Swallows. This was our first family holiday with our two daughters, their partners and our one year old Granddaughter. The location was perfect and the accommodation had everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean. We loved being able to use the pizza oven for cooking and the location was perfect to visit all of our favourite haunts. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

The Coach House, unique country cottage, Somerset
We really enjoyed our few days at the coachhouse, which was comfortable and in beautiful surroundings. Andrew had to be away when we arrived but was immediately responsive when we had trouble knowing where to go. We felt welcomed on arrival by his note and provisions, and really appreciated the local recommendations sent to us in advance.

Comfortable, luxury shepherds hut with hot tub
We had the most wonderful couple of days staying at Honey Bee relaxing in the peace and quiet. The views are outstanding, the Shepherds hut is beautifully made, with gorgeous interior and very well equipped. It is an ideal location with great local pubs in the surrounding villages also Bridport and West bay only 10 minutes down the road. We really wished we could have stayed longer, we can’t wait to return as soon as time allows!

The Great Western - lovely 2 bed apt in hbr bowl
We had a lovely stay, the place was clean and was as described. Check in was easy and Fergus let you check in early and late as no one else was booked in. You are staying in the town so no need for a car, lots to do in the area. Over all great place and would return

Ganders Cottage at Highway Farm, Bridport
We had a lovely stay in Ganders Cottage, with two young children. The cottage was spotlessly clean, pleasant to stay in and we put the patio to good use by having breakfast there every day. We even spotted a pheasant from the garden. The kids enjoyed the cottage and it was very family friendly. We only regret not taking the time to explore the farm and walk the area. The cottage was ideally situated to explore the Jurassic Coast, and we had many lovely outings to the nearby beaches. Charlotte and Robin were great hosts, attentive yet unintrusive, kind and thoughtful. They gave us good tips before and during the stay.

Haven Holiday Park Caravan Burnham on Sea
Great Host, great caravan, close to onsite amenities and around a ten minute walk to beach front, great location to explore the surrounding areas. Will definitely be going again 😊.

Beautiful views over the fields!
Lovely place to stay, took my family for a peaceful new year's break. Lovely view's across the fields. Would definitely recommend

Great Coombe - panoramic views & lake
We stayed as a family group of 6 adults and 3 kids over Easter. The location and view were beautiful as was the local area. We saw a woodpecker visiting the bird feeder several times which was a nice treat! Our trip was geared towards children’s activities and we had lots of choice of things to do in the local area within a 30-45 minute drive. The games room was a great bonus and provided hours of enjoyment for kids and adults alike. The house was very clean, tastefully decorated and well presented with a very well equipped kitchen. The downstairs living area was spacious and had ample seating so there was always somewhere to flop at the end of the day. Nicola was pro active and helpful and responded very quickly to any questions we had. Overall we had a lovely time at Great Coombe :-)

Your guide to Charmouth
All About Charmouth
Just two miles east of the pretty harbour town of Lyme Regis, the coastal village of Charmouth is a gateway to the towering cliffs and pebble shores of the Jurassic Coast — a UNESCO World Heritage site that stretches nearly 100 miles. Like neighbouring Lyme Regis, Charmouth is famous for its fossils, and people come to scour the beach and search the rockpools at low tide to find their own ancient treasures.
The entire region is crisscrossed by a network of footpaths, from atmospheric woodland trails such as the one at Langdon Hill to the extensive South West Coast Path, where you can spot hill forts dating back to the Iron Age. The biggest draw for walkers is Golden Cap — the highest point on the south coast — which provides a panorama of the curved coastline below. In the village itself, steep streets wind down towards the sea, lined with thatched cottages, traditional pubs adorned with window boxes, and family-owned cafes serving up fish and chips to enjoy in the salty air.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Charmouth
As a coastal village in the mild southwest of England, Charmouth doesn’t experience extremes in temperature. Summers are warm without being scorching hot and winters are cool but rarely bitterly cold. Spring and early summer draw visitors to Hogchester Open Meadows — over 50 acres of wildflower meadows overlooking the town, including art installations and a labyrinth. July and August are characterised by clear skies and the area’s best sea swimming conditions, making them the most popular months to book one of the area’s holiday cottages. Late summer brings a culinary festival, which showcases local produce in Lyme Regis in early September, while winter visitors can expect rough seas and a higher chance of fossil-hunting success on local beaches. In November, a literary festival hosts speakers from famous historians to award-winning poets and local writers.
Top things to do in Charmouth
Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre
Perched on the headland overlooking the sea, the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre combines hands-on exhibits, extensive collections of fossils, and an ichthyosaur skeleton. You can join one of the centre’s frequent guided fossil-hunting walks and even get advice on your latest finds — there’s an on-site video microscope, and volunteers are on hand to talk you through your discoveries.
Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens
Around half an hour’s drive east of town, this scenic spot is home to a unique microclimate where banana plants and eucalyptus flourish. The site combines famous displays of blush magnolias with a Victorian walled garden and the Wonderland Sculpture Trail, where you can hunt for bronze literary characters among the trees. There’s also a plant store where you can pick up many of the garden’s rare species.
Lyme Regis
One of the most popular seaside towns in the region, Lyme Regis sits just minutes away from Charmouth, around the bay. An array of pastel-hued tearooms and art galleries line the winding streets leading to the sea. The 13th-century stone Cobb harbour wall is a common spot for mackerel fishing, and the shoreline has been a destination for fossil hunters for centuries.
