    “When we arrived, one of the twin room doors wouldn't shut.”

    When we looked at it the top hinge was out of the frame. In the same room, the bedside light cable had nearly completely detached itself from the plug. I called Lyme Bay holidays straight away so that they could log this. They told me they would let the owners know straight away to get it fixed. We heard nothing back for our whole stay.

    When we looked at it the top hinge was out of the frame. In the same room, the bedside light cable had nearly completely detached itself from the plug. I called Lyme Bay holidays straight away so that they could log this. They told me they would let the owners know straight away to get it fixed. We heard nothing back for our whole stay. My son sorted out the door frame. We removed the lamp and moved one from another room so he could have some light. On a separate note, the games in the dining room may need to be sorted through. My daughter went to use them and there seemed to be little bugs in them. We put them back and decided not to use them We did like the house and the location. Fully equipped and lots of things to use outdoors.

    I’m sorry you had these maintenance issues. We will raise this with Lyme Bay Holidays as they are usually very responsive. Property Owner

The property

Charmouth Lodge is an impressive Grade II listed Georgian townhouse where you can enjoy your slice of history in Charmouth, Dorset. Close to the popular UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast, this pet-friendly property is ideal for families and friends looking for a seaside break at any time of the year. Occupying a prominent position in the centre of the village and close to all amenities, the house has an interesting history: it was originally part of a sail factory and then a school run by descendants of Dick Whittington. Inside, there is a spacious four-bedroom home that retains many characterful features throughout including high ceilings, window shutters, fireplaces and a grand, ornate staircase. Leading off the entrance hallway, the lounge is an impressive room with sumptuous seating and an open fire. Floor-to-ceiling French doors flood the room with light and open onto the front garden. The kitchen is another fabulous room with all appliances needed for creating meals the whole family can enjoy in the adjoining dining room, where you will find a large dining table and well-stocked games cupboard. Heading upstairs, you will find the four bedrooms: a king-size room with an en-suite shower room at the rear and a further king-size bedroom and two twin rooms at the front all looking out to the village of Charmouth with some sea views. The family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle is also located on this floor. Outside, the enclosed rear-walled garden is a great spot for enjoying some alfresco dining when the weather permits or sitting quietly with a book under the covered veranda. Charmouth Beach, with its heritage centre and guided fossil walks, is within easy walking distance of the house. The beach is popular with beachgoers and for water sports such as paddleboarding and kayaking. For your everyday needs, there is a village bakery, boutique selling art, general store and small supermarket with a choice of restaurants and two traditional pubs both serving a range of local food and beverages There is access to the Monarch's Way which is a popular cross country route which is accessed alongside the play area. For younger guests, the house backs onto playing fields, via a private road, with a children’s playground.
