Description
St Helena is a beautifully renovated three-bedroom holiday home that offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and coastal tranquillity, located in the heart of the charming coastal village of Charmouth, Dorset.
Positioned along the iconic Jurassic Coast, this welcoming retreat is surrounded by breathtaking scenery and rich geological heritage. The property features wrap-around gardens and a striking glass-balustraded terrace, thoughtfully designed to make the most of its elevated setting and lovely views. From here, you can gaze out towards the cliffs and coastal path.
Inside, the home is filled with natural light and tastefully furnished throughout. The lounge boasts large bay windows that frame the stunning coastal views, creating a peaceful and inviting space to unwind. At the heart of the home is the kitchen and dining area - a bright, sociable space ideal for gathering over breakfast, sharing stories from the day, or enjoying a relaxed evening meal. Patio doors open directly onto the rear garden, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors and a lovely spot for alfresco dining. The kitchen is fully equipped with a dishwasher, larder fridge, freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer, making it both practical and welcoming.
Upstairs, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms: a king-size room, offering breathtaking panoramic views over Lyme Bay towards Portland, a double and a twin that can be converted into a super king on request, both offering pleasant garden views—perfect for families and offering flexibility for groups of friends. The property also includes two bathrooms: one on the ground floor with a shower over the bath, and a sleek first-floor shower room with a walk-in cubicle.
St Helena offers parking for two cars, with additional on-street parking nearby, and welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs, so everyone can enjoy the holiday together.
A nearby footpath leads directly to Charmouth’s famous fossil beach, a favourite spot for explorers of all ages, where the heritage coast centre offers activities and fossil hunting trips. The village itself offers a delightful selection of shops and eateries, including the Charmouth Bakery for fresh crab sandwiches and pastries, and Charmouth Stores for everyday essentials. For a relaxed meal or a drink, head to The Royal Oak or The George, two traditional pubs serving locally sourced food and ales.
When you're ready to venture further afield, nearby highlights include the elegant seaside town of Lyme Regis, the dramatic cliffs and harbour of West Bay, and the lively market town of Bridport, each offering its own unique charm and coastal character.
Whether you're looking to unwind, explore the coastline, or enjoy a traditional seaside break, St Helena is a wonderful place to call home during your stay.

What guests are saying
Great well equipped house, great location.
Garden was not dog secure but large. We had dinner at the house most nights. The hob and top oven were easy to use, the bottom oven took a little getting used to though! Overal, we had a great holiday and I would recommend and stay again
Great location, just a short walk to the beach or the village.
3 comfortable rooms with comfortable beds and sufficient storage. 2 shower/bathrooms were really handy and the hot water seemed to be available whenever needed. The kitchen is well fitted out with plenty of cooking tools, pots and pans and a great huge fridge. A few more coffee cups would be handy! The kitchen/dining family space works really well with children and the lounge, although small makes a cosy snug to retreat for relaxation. Plenty of outdoor garden space for children to run around and a lovely view from the patio with plenty of comfortable garden seating. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought into making their home very user friendly and easy to live in. All in all a very good house for a family get-together. We had a problem with a troublesome patio door and the owner was very responsive.
We enjoyed our holiday very much and hope to return again soon.
Very easy and spacious off road parking. Walk to the beach. The view of the sea from the bedroom is even better than the photos and the sound of the waves at night is very relaxing. Very comfortable home away from home. It had everything we needed in the kitchen. Excellent hot water and water pressure. Bedroom furniture and shelves were very useful. The garden is big and the clothes line was useful. We found the garden to be dog proof for our dog. Really wonderful house that is clean and tidy and well maintained. The lounge chairs were luxury but another sofa in the lounge would be helpful. I would recommend visiting St Helena. We are likely to book for 2 weeks next time.
