Overview
Property code: 57185

Stylish studio apartment, tucked within a tranquil complex near the coast. Close to Charmouth, Lyme Regis and Bridport and with use of an outdoor pool, it’s the perfect base for a romantic break

Unravel the secrets of the Jurassic Coast and enjoy fossil hunting on the shores of Charmouth Beach, rounding off with classic fish and chips and tea for two in a friendly cafe. Tucked 1.5 miles away from the sea, this bijou-style property provides a bolthole for couples within easy reach of an abundance of scenic trails that are ripe for exploring. Wrap-up warm and venture outside, returning to curl up with a good book and a sweet treat after a busy day.

Stylishly presented and compact with everything you need for a comfortable stay, this single-storey studio apartment is ideal for couples with a love of the outdoors. Inside, the open-plan property maximises the use of space with a cosy lounge/diner/bedroom, offering spots for reading on the sofas, enjoying light breakfasts or recharging your batteries. A handy kitchen adjoins the main room, and there is a separate shower room too. Outside, the open terrace has unrivalled views of your surroundings. You are welcome to explore the expansive grounds and take a dip in the shared outdoor pool (please refer to the 'need to know' for further details). Laundry facilities are available for a small charge on-site, and parking for one car is subject to availability. Please note, access to the property is either down a set of outside stairs to the small courtyard or via a long flat path.

A pleasant 1.5-mile walk will take you through the village and onto the sand and shingle beach, a popular choice for fossil hunters keen to search for treasures under the crumbling cliffs. Lyme Regis is a short 2.5-mile drive away and is brimming with potential for a day trip with its shops, museums and staggering array of restaurants, cafes and gastropubs. Stroll along the promenade with an ice cream in hand, heading down to the harbour to watch the boats before choosing a venue for your evening meal.

Char Cottage was lovely, clean and well equipped. It is set in a quiet location amongst other cottages. The only criticism of the cottage itself is that the blinds on the window let in a lot of light and I think that heavier blinds or some curtains would be beneficial, also the shower doorway is quite narrow for a bigger person to negotiate. AlthouRead moregh it states that the beach, pub and shops are within walking distance I would dispute that unless you are extremely fit! Transport is essential. Hide

A really lovely cottage. Very clean and comfortable. Peaceful with beautiful small garden and superb view. Well located for visiting local areas although we felt a car was essential.

Negatives: Heating was off prior to arrival, so property was like an ice box for almost 24hrs. Thin blind means room is light throughout the night - maybe a positive as too much furniture to bump into at night in such a small space. Tv had limited channels available. Positives: Lovely, quiet location & close to Charmouth. Well equipped kitchen.

Lovely chalet, and comfy bed, good walks into charmouth and lyme regis, but very steep. Hotel only serves food at 7pm and you have to pre order by 4pm, so not good if a last minute decision. Lots of rivalry between hotel and chalets, and you need to book swimming pool between 10.00-12.00 in the morning. However we enjoyed our short stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Little Char, it was comfortable and had everything we needed, the pool at the hotel was a bonus. Well situated for Charmouth and Lyme Regis with the bus and park and ride making Lyme Regis particularly accessible without parking in town. We would return to Little Char.

Lovely property. Surprisingly well heated. Beautiful gardens and views. Each cottage has it's own garden area and reasonably private access. We understand the property had recently been flooded and our clothes did get damp. Found the dehumidifier as we were leaving. Redecoration very good. All in all lovely comfortable property which provided all wRead moree needed. Thank you. Hide

Small but very comfortable space. Excellent bed-so comfy. Nice quite estate with some lovely walks for the dog. Only issue was the warnings about ticks in the long grass which were actually dead right! Had to make sure the dog got his 'spot on' after just one walk-found at least 3 ticks. Otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable weeks stay, nice and quiet.
