Location

Charmouth Beach, recognised as the only UK beach in National Geographic's 21 Best Beaches in the World, is a 3-minute walk from the guest house. The hotel sits within the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site, with access to fossil hunting sites and the South West Coast Path. Lyme Regis is 2 miles away, and the Golden Cap Estate offers scenic coastal walks.

Rooms

The hotel offers 8 en-suite rooms, including family suites with connecting rooms for added privacy. A guest lounge with an honesty bar provides a space to relax after a day of exploring. Private parking is available on site.

Dining

Breakfast is served in the conservatory, with freshly cooked full English breakfasts using locally sourced produce. Guests can request fish and vegetarian options in advance. The morning meal includes cereals, fruits, and a choice of cooked dishes.

Family-Friendly

Family suites offer separate sleeping areas for parents and children, with en-suite bathrooms for each room. The hotel supports local conservation through the Jurassic Coast Trust, and the beach is a short stroll for fossil hunting. The village centre has pubs and a fish and chip shop within walking distance.

Activities

Cycling, fishing, and water sport facilities are available on site or nearby. The Charmouth Heritage Centre is a 5-minute walk away. The South West Coast Path starts at the beach, providing routes along the Jurassic Coast.

“It's clear the focus here is on creating a truly spotless and welcoming environment, a sentiment echoed in the consistently comfortable rooms and the genuinely delicious, cooked-to-order breakfasts that make use of local produce. The short, easy walk to Charmouth beach is a significant draw, especially for those interested in fossil collecting, and the ample on-site parking is a welcome practicality. This is a place where genuine hospitality, evident in the friendly hosts and attentive service, shines through, making it a notable find.”
