Vine Cottage

Stayed many time’s Vine Cottage is a fabulous place to stay .

Looking forward to our stay next month for a family members birthday .

A lovely cottage in a peaceful location.

The backyard is fully secure for small dogs. The Royal Oak up the road serves excellent food and The Anchor on the beach at Seatown also serves great food. We will definitely go back.

Clean and spacious accommodation, by using the garage there is ample room for 2 cars.

Some slowness with Wi-Fi at times but this is obviously due to conditions external to the property. Easy access and all basic needs only short walk away. Excellent venue for visiting the Jurassic Coast.

We had a lovely stay at Vine Cottage, was a home from home, only small issue heating didn't seem to come on at the time as stated in the property, may just need a timing check.

We will definitely be back, loved it.

Lovely cottage visited many times.

All the comforts of home great location for relaxing or base for exploring the Jurassic coast.

Our second visit this year.

It's in such a lovely location and the cottage is perfect! We will be back :)

Lovely house a real “home from home “in a perfect place .

Clean spacious 3 bedroomed house.

Excellent facilities in the house.Position of the house is excellent close to local shops and beach. Small outdoor flagged seating area with garden furniture accessed directly from living room. Good sized bedrooms with the main en suite. Bed in main bedroom is very firm not so much the others. Towels and bed linen provided and all clean. There’s a large playground behind the shops opposite and great walks for dogs too. The beach is mainly dog friendly apart from one area and is a 15 minute stroll Next door is a fish and pizza bar that also sells ice cream. Very handy but the smell sometimes drifts into the garden and house when windows open at the rear. Wasn’t open Sunday and Monday . Parking in the attached garage is tight with a small SUV. There is parking at the side of the house but not always available. Would recommend as we enjoyed our stay.

The property was clean and spacious with everything we needed.

Excellent double glazing so we weren't disturbed in the noisy location. Shower head in main bathroom needs descaling. Note for Sykes: now guests are required to do so much housekeeping before they leave, check out times need to be later.

Spacious and comfortable, well equipped, both in the kitchen and the house.

Could do with a tumble dryer - in the garage, maybe? Otherwise, having used washing machine, there is nowhere to dry clothes, other than on the drying racks provided in the garage.

Always a pleasure to visit this brilliant home from home in Charmouth

We have stayed here many times at various times of the year .

We love this house and Charmouth. It’s ideally located in the centre of the village yet only 5 minutes to the sea front. The house is lovely and warm in the winter and the little garden is perfect to catch the sun. Looking forward to our next visit.

This is a wonderful cottage which we thoroughly recommend - you can stop scrolling here if you’re looking for somewhere peaceful with good amenities on hand and well placed to explore Dorset.

Deceptively spacious, immaculate inside, everything you could possibly need provided. Comfortable beds, lovely lounge with living flame gas fire, very warm throughout, completely dog friendly with hard floors throughout. Location is perfect for exploring Dorset and only a 5 minute walk from a superb beach. There’s a fish and chip shop next door, and a small supermarket opposite. The village of Charmouth is lovely. We had a wonderful time all round. Advice to any renters with dogs - we have 3 dogs, quite small and they settled really well. Good to know for owners that it’s a very small courtyard garden, patio only which was good for us but be prepared to walk your dogs for their toilet breaks if they are grass lovers! Thank you to the host and Sykes Cottages, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Stayed many times lovely warm house .

A home from home.

Absolutely loved it - so clean - lovely position - shops nearby - nice flat walk to the beach - all you could wish for - thank you

WIFI connection was poor Apart from that it was warm cottage that was in the centre of Charmouth nice and quiet at night

Stayed at Vine many times and really love the house .

I have marked cleanliness down as follows: The pillows in the master bedroom were not clean they smelt of stale sweat and perfume. There were no protectors on the pillows just double pillow cases which are not protectors therefore bacteria can easily grow . It is also noted that mattress protectors are not changed. All protectors ought to be changed for new guests arriving . We also found the duvets were not warm enough for winter No refuse bags left .

We have stayed here over many years and really enjoy our stays .

We’ve just had a lovely bank holiday break with great weather. The only negative is not about the house but the refuse disposal . I contacted Sykes on our first day stating the bin was full and nothing was done to action assistance.

We had a great stay at Vine Cottage.

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.

Overall was very good - the living room could of done with airing - smelled a bit musty.

We had a lovely few days.

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.

We three friends really enjoyed the cottage and Charmouth itself.

The welcome pack was gratefully received, however we found the kitchen really lacking in basics like sugar, vinegar, tomato sauce (for the fish and chips from next door) and other items that we didn't want to buy but would have appreciated. I went on to stay in an Airbnb cottage in Lulworth and really appreciated all the basics were included very generously. Otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely house perfect for two couples and two children and a dog.

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!

Enjoyable stay in a nice cottage.

Highly recommended village to stay in with 2 nice pubs , good fish and chip shop and short walk to superb beach . Great hills for the runners in our group. The main issues we had with the cottage was the fact it advertised for up to 3 dogs and we assumed the courtyard garden would therefore be a good size . It wasn’t !! Just about enough room for 4 chairs and a table and definitely no room for the dogs as well . The bushes hanging over were overgrown and sitting on the table . I had to cut them back . Surprising given a previous guest had reported it and nothing done to rectify. Additionally we reported a problem with dishwasher on day 2 but had no reply . No big deal but I would be disappointed if I was the owner. Garage really not big enough for a family car . Seems a waste of space - maybe could be converted to a games room ? However we had no problem parking our car outside. Electric needs an overhaul upstairs as the owner’s hairdryer kept tripping the electrics . In summary though , nice , well maintained (inside) property in superb location.

Now many visits to this welcoming and comfortable home from home.

Stayed many times at Vine over many years and love the house.

I gave a 4 stars for cleanliness because it wasn’t as clean as it could have been . There was dog hair under lounge furniture which wasn’t our dogs . The floors downstairs were not as clean as they could have been. I have to say the Lyme bay maintenance team were quick and efficient to respond(Issue with windows)

Excellent accommodation less than one hundred yards from a great pub and a 10 minute walk to the beach the property and location cannot be faulted for a relaxing break

Absolutely gorgeous cottage couldn't fault anything , didn't want to come home location perfect.

We had know trouble parking right outside cottage and the fish and chip shop next door was the best fish and chips we had ever eaten .

We had never visited Charmouth before and this property was ideal for a first time visit.

Centrally located, ten minutes walk from the sea, with all the local facilities almost on the doorstep and with inland walks close by this property filled all our needs. The property is spacious and comfortable and felt like a real home from home. Having two bathrooms and three toilets was a real bonus. This is somewhere that we would hope to come back to on future visits to the area.

It was inconvenient to pick up the keys from your offices in Lyme Regis especially as there was little available parking.

Could you not have a key box at the property to save having to drive into Lyme Regis. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay at Vine Cottage in Charmouth.

All good especially the new kitchen and bathroom would stay again any time

Our 4th visit.

Excellent property, well equipped, great with new kitchen, bathroom and windows. Wonderful to be so close to the beach and great countryside walks for our dog. Had an issue with the tv not getting the basic channels but Lyme Bay Holidays sent someone round very quickly to sort it.
