Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Peaceful Retreat
This beach house was just beautiful, one of the best we have stayed in. The open plan kitchen lounge was ideal in the evenings when we were cooking our evening meal. It was 2 minutes from the seafront and we did power walk up the cliffs to see the view at the Golden Cap which was well worth it. Its only a 3 mile walk to Lyme Regis with all its little shops and cafes. The cottage was well placed for visiting gardens and National Trust sites nearby. There are a lot of local farm shops to try the local food and Bridport has some great food options. We will definetly keep this place in mind for our future UK holidays.

Comfortable, quiet and well-equipped
We stayed just 3 days, this time. The cottage is very comfortable and well-appointed. The kitchen has limited storage space but plenty enough for a short stay. Excellent central heating for our wet and very windy stay. Plenty of private parking in a quiet location. No sea views but that did not matter to us. Best we have found in Charmouth so far.

Nice and quiet
Spent a week here we picked a great week for the weather so did lots of walking, it makes a great base for exploring the area. The village has 2 pubs that serve food, there's also a cafe and chip shop. The cottage has everything you would need and is surprisingly spacious, it has an outside decked area which is nice forest!y morning coffee or breakfast. The beach is just 5 mins walk away.

The Hideaway
Very nice place. Perfect for us. Minutes away from the beach and the local shop. Charmouth is ideal for the quiet getaway but easy access for Weymouth, Lyme Regis and other places in the area. Lucky with the weather. Fossilising every day. It was just what we needed.

Ssshhhhhh....a real gem
This is one of those wonderful places I really don't want to flag up because it really was so good. It was everything that it says in the description ... and more!Tucked away off the main road leading to the beach, it's easy to find. It's an idyllic location. Everything inside is excellent - comfortable beds and bedding, great kitchen and a good sized living space with a high ceiling, all well decorated and furnished/equipped. TVs and high speed internet connectivity. Outside there is a nice lawn with a raised deck with a good supply of chairs. There are excellent local services where you can source supplies and then you can be on the beach and in the sea in five minutes. Helen,the host,is very helpful and responsive. We booked at short notice and everything went smoothly in terms of payments and the return of deposit etc. It may be of interest to note that we travelled by public transport with young kids and our view is that it's entirely feasible to do so. Clearly a car has some benefit but readers may like to know that the public transport option is not unduly burdensome. It's certainly on our minds to return and stay a little longer. But this place is a real gem.

Perfect, family friendly beach holiday
The house is just perfect for a holiday at the seaside. There is so much to do in the surrounding area. Charmouth itself has a gorgeous beach with cafes and a few shops. The village centre has everything you would need, and both the beach and village are within a short walk of the house. A short drive and you have the joys of Lyme Regis, Burton Bradstock and many other lovely places. The house itself has everything you would need and is warm and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Quaint, cosy & lovely beach house, kid friendly - would stay again. 5-8mins from Charmouth Beach, fossil hunting fun!
We stayed at this lovely beach house for the weekend with plans to go fossil hunting for our daughter's 6th birthday. The rooms were nice and our 2 young children enjoyed sleeping in their comfy beds in the room they shared together. Kitchen was fully functional and well equipped with all the utensils you would require to make a nice breakfast before a morning of fossil hunting. The living room had good space for us to relax all together and even wind down for the evening with a spot of tv (they have a Sky box and I think a DVD player which we didn't get to use). The house was toasty and warm, which was a lovely welcome from the cool weather. Shops were 5 minutes down the road and we were able to buy the essentials food wise. Even more convenient is the fact that Charmouth beach is 5-8mins walk from the beach house. We spent one morning fossil hunting and found a few imprints of ammonites as well as small rocks with small ammonites embedded in them. One family who walked past us found large ammonites on stones as well as huge imprints of the fossil. Lyme Regis is about 7-10mins drive from the Beach House - it's a busier town with a lot of restaurants, gift shops and Monmouth beach and Lyme Regis fossil beach is a good walk and great for fossil hunting. Helen was great at communicating and very accommodating to meeting our needs. Highly recommend staying at The Hideaway - we'll definitely be returning!😊
