“Pendower, Charmouth is situated in a sunny location surrounded by mature garden, trees and shrubs.”

The views are good. The property is light, airy and comfortable with a good and usefully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed being in the house as much as going out and about to explore. Our group was multi generational and with 2 downstairs bedrooms and a wc and shower room also downstairs it suited our needs perfectly. The coastal path is nearby so plenty of walking is available for those who can but they have to be fit enough to manage the steep hills both up and down.

“All the beds were very uncomfortable, all mattresses need replacing.”

French doors are not very secure. The rest of the house was lovely and spacious, nice garden secure for dogs. Well placed for exploring the Area

- Marion, April 2025

Thank you for your review and I’m sorry you found the beds uncomfortable. We stay three times a year and find the mattresses to be comfortable.All the mattresses have been replaced over the last few years and have been replaced with sprung mattresses. I’m glad you found the rest of the house and garden to be lovely Property Owner

“We were blown away by the lovely property!”

So clean, spacious, light and what a view! We would definitely like to come back to Pendower at some point - the location suited us perfectly (although the hills were a challenge at times!) The house was comfortable and the welcome pack was very generous - thank you.

- Joanne, April 2025

Thank you for your great feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay at Pendower! Property Owner

“Wonderful stay at Pendower, everything we needed for a great holiday in Dorset.”

Katie December 2024

“Excellent property.”

Particularly the enclosed garden which was safe for our dogs to play in. As it was winter an outside light would have been beneficial. Very spacious and warm!

- Katie, December 2024

Thank you for your feedback An outside light will be fitted during this year Property Owner
Peter September 2024

“Not up to your usual standard of property lack of chairs in kitchen dining area.”

Mattresses need replacing. Marked sheets in master bedroom. bath towels to small .cracked toilet in master bedroom. Pop up plug missing in sink. No razor points. general decoration needs maintenance.

- Peter, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback Since this review we have a shiny new en suite to the upstairs king size bed room. New sanitary ware including a walk in shower. The usual January re decoration has taken place There are 6 dining chairs and a large leather sofa in the kitchen dining area which reflects the number of guests for this property Property Owner
Lydia August 2024

“Pros: Clean, spacious, generally well equipped, lovely upstairs suite and very large, light sitting room with good views.”

Enclosed garden for dogs, plenty of parking. Good as a base for the Jurassic coast in general. Cons: Poor accoustics so earplugs needed, quite sparsely decorated, poor blinds in downstairs bedrooms.

- Lydia, August 2024

“Excellent accommodation but you need to be fit to manage the hills.”

The garden in particular was perfect especially for our greyhound who loved it. Enjoyed the bath although shower over didn't really work and there were a few maintenance issues.Skylight in bathroom out of reach. But in general very happy and looking to return again. Charmouth is a lovely village.

- Graeme, June 2024
Vicki June 2024

“A lovely property with great views.”

We had a great week in Charmouth staying at Pendower.. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. Great location, although the steep walk back to the house from the beach certainty kept us fit. Charmouth was a delight

- Vicki, June 2024
Wendy May 2024

“Nice large property & garden.”

Would suggest the downstairs settee & upstairs chairs are rather tired & could be replaced as seem well worn. Definitely could do with some lighting on patio. Noted no DVDs or summerhouse as detailed in property's description. Overall very nice.

- Wendy, May 2024
David May 2024

“Pendower is a lovely property in a beautiful position.”

However it is not very friendly for older people as some of the basics are missing - handrails in the bathrooms and toilets and on both sides of the stairs - very low toilets - furniture that is too low and difficult to get up from. Four of our party were in their eighties and experienced real problems which severely detracted for our overall enjoyment of the property which was a pity as sitting on the balcony in the only comfortable chairs was a real joy.

- David, May 2024
Mark November 2023

“Excellent property in a beautiful location.”

Warm & cosy with comfortable beds. Lovely enclosed private garden, not at all overlooked. Perfect for dogs. Well equipped property suitable for all ages. Excellent parking, easy access. An excellent all year round holiday property.

- Mark, November 2023
Alison August 2023

“Lovely holiday home so spacious.”

.everything you need is there beautiful garden .wonderful view..enjoyed watching the rabbits in the garden!!! couldnt fault it!!! 10 min walk to shops and beach...only suggestion would be some outside lights for the evening ... didn't want to come home!!

- Alison, August 2023
Michael May 2023

“This is a good spacious property and pleasant to live in for a week or two.”

The garden is large, well kept and secure. Six of us stayed there and none of us felt we were on top of one another. Pretty much everything you need is there. It is a good 20 minute walk down to the beach and a sharp uphill all the way back. If you're not keen on hills there are car parks at the bottom, at a cost! I'd certainly stay here again. Charmouth is worth visiting.

- Michael, May 2023
Howard May 2023

“An excellent well furbished property in an ideal position for coastal walking.”

The large garden was ideal for taking the 'rays'. A 10 minute walk into small town of Charmouth and a15 drive into the larger town of Bridport

- Howard, May 2023
Keith April 2023

“Great welcome pack, however when the central heating broke down everyone pulled their weight LBH and the owners.”

Only hic-cup was having to go through a third party at the start. Breakdown could not be anticipated and was dealt with as well as could be exspected. Patio doors need attention, very hard to close and lock to maintain security (may have been down to the damp?) but need some TLC

- Keith, April 2023

It was our pleasure to be of service, and apologies again for the disruption caused. We will take a look at the patio doors. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
James November 2022

“Excellent accomodation that was both warm and comfortable for 6 people.”

Improvements would be more bin liners as one is insufficient for 6 people for the week and a small supply of 1 pint glasses for the beer drinkers amongst us! The only disappointment was the lack of recycling offered by the local authority where all recyclable waste is usually collected from properties.

- James, November 2022
David October 2022

“Really enjoyed our time at a lovely property Close to a lovely coastline.”

- David, October 2022
Deborah September 2022

“Lovely house and location.”

Overall a pleasant place to stay. Great views. The stay would have been greatly enhanced by a shower in the upstairs bathroom. It was not great having to share 1 shower between 6 adults. Furnishing is minimal which makes the dining room uncomfortable for a family group. Take good walking shoes as very steep climb from the beach.

- Deborah, September 2022
Kim August 2022

“Lovely house, bright and airy, made a home from home.”

Good location to explore from and beautiful view.

- Kim, August 2022
Andrew August 2022

“Property was brilliant and exactly as described/photographed.”

Outside area very lovely, nice decking area for the evenings with views of the coast. Beds very comfortable and great to have a laundry room and 2nd fridge freezer. Nice welcome bag of goodies and booking process simple and keep up to date by Lyme Bay Holidays.

- Andrew, August 2022
NICOLA June 2022

“Lovely house and garden and view.”
