The house was clean and well-equipped and the property is in a great location with a 10 min flat walk to the beach and a brilliant local park / play area. I would recommend this property.

Vine Cottage is ideally located in the centre of Charmouth and we made good use of local services including the pubs and the excellent grocery shop. The house was ideal for our needs. It was well equipped with good quality linen and towels. The welcome 'hamper' was most appreciated. The garage is narrow for modern wide cars and as we had two cars, parking was occasionally tricky. A little maintenance is needed to make Vine Cottage perfect. There were some hinge screws missing and one of the bedroom doors has a faulty mechanism causing it to stick. All in all, a comfortable property in a charming seaside village.

So close to the beach and lovely walks. The main bedroom door is faulty - unable to get out a couple of times. From the scratches round the handle looks like its not the first time! Also 'please do not park here in use constantly' signs may put some off. In front of the garages seems to be a popular place to park for the chippy!
