Guests appreciate the Willows' prime location near Charmouth beach and its cosy, well-equipped accommodation with a lovely garden. The welcome pack is frequently mentioned as a generous touch. Some concerns about the dated decor and the need for coin-operated electricity are noted, but overall stays are enjoyed, especially due to the property's proximity to the coast and the friendly hosts.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is generally described as very clean, with multiple reviews highlighting the cleanliness of the accommodation. However, one review mentioned a damp and musty smell, which suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its closeness to Charmouth beach and the town, with guests enjoying the peaceful setting and proximity to local attractions. It's considered a highlight of the property.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the throws cosy, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, some guests noted the property could be dark inside, and the seating not as comfortable, indicating some areas could be enhanced for greater comfort.
The property is well-equipped, but several reviews suggest the need for updates, particularly in the bathroom and kitchen. The coin-operated electricity is seen as outdated, and the lack of a proper shower facility is a drawback for some guests.
The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and highly appreciated by guests, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness from the hosts. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Situated just a few minutes walk from Charmouth beach, on a private road with no passing traffic overlooking open countryside is this truly special apartment, Willows. The ideal location for a family or couples travelling together, the apartment is as special on the inside as it is on the outside with a warm and welcoming sitting room greeting the visitor as they arrive. Elegantly furnished, the room has wooden beams and stunning patio doors opening onto a Mediterranean-style terrace. Step into the fully equipped kitchen which is the perfect place for preparing delicious food for the whole family. Choose from informal dining around the rustic dining area or open the doors from the sitting room onto the terrace. The views from the covered terrace are simply mesmerising and you can imagine spending hours here soaking up the amazing views and truly immersing yourself in the holiday spirit. If the weather allows then you can enjoy long, languid meals out here indulging in some delicious local produce and quaffing a favourite tipple while enjoying time with family and friends. The gardens are perfect for children (and dogs!) to run around in while the grown-ups can relax. After all that fresh air, you’ll be ready for your beds and guests can choose from a well-presented king-size and an inviting twin, both of which offer fabulous views over the gardens and beyond. Willows truly offers an idyllic setting just 200 yards from the beach with beautiful rural views of Stonebarrow and within walking distance of the village shops and amenities. For the whole family pay a visit to Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, Axe Valley Wildlife Park and Seaton Tramway. For some historical insights check out Lyme Regis Museum and Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre or to make the most of the coastal location why not book a boat or fishing trip? For the adrenaline rush of a lifetime try Lyme Rib Rides! Whatever you are looking to do during your stay in Dorset, Willows is the perfect destination.

Andrea
the home was clean and well maintained. A lovely welcome pack greeted us on our arrival, as did the friendly owner. Our dog loved sitting and looking at the lovely view, as did we. Lots of great walks, we didn't use the car, everything we needed was in walking distance. Thank you.

the house met all our needs: right next to the beach, dog friendly, parking (heads up on a slope) and outside space! Cosy and comfortable on those rainy days. We will definitely be back and have already recommended to friends. The house had everything we needed and had a lovely view across the hills towards the beach. It was very peaceful with the waves being the background noise to our stay. Suggestion going forward would be to have a few charity shop dvds on the small bookshelf - would be handy for those rainy evenings.
