Tom, Naro And Family
The house has magnificent views out to sea and to the Isle of Portland. There is a tranquil atmosphere that helps you relax as soon as you arrive. The house is well appointed and is ideal for an extended family stay. if you like an untamed beach with a river flowing across its sand and shingle Charmouth is the place for you with the added attraction of fossil finding and a great collection to view at the visitor centre. here are wonderful walks in every direction across the unspoiled Dorset countryside and the nearby Lyme Regis offers many good quality eating and drinking venues. We stayed at Yarrow as two families with four children and had one of the best weeks I can remember. We all loved our daily walk down to the beach (around 15 minutes down, 20 back up the hill) even in cold weather. Charmouth is a quiet town with a couple of friendly pubs, cafes and great local shop for essentials. The house itself is very comfortable with loads of open space and a view that I will never forget. Amazing memories all round and we will absolutely be back one day soon. Tom, Naro and family

The house is On a lovely quiet road yet within walking distance of Charmouth village and beach. The house is beautiful, clean and modern with breathtaking views of the sea. Itâs well equipped and can easily accommodate 10 people- ideal for getting extended family together. The under floor heating is so cosy in the winter and the lovely open areas are cool and breezy in the summer. We will definitely be back!

I think from previous reviews you are aware of what those issues are. If you are hoping for returning custom I would address these issues sooner rather than later.
