The welcome pack was very nice and the owner called by to check all was ok. The property was clean with a well equipped kitchen. The garden is enclosed which was ideal for the dog who even had dog treats in the welcome pack.

Very clean and comfortable, excellent parking and generous welcome pack. Up on the hill overlooking Charmouth, so be prepared for a hike back up. But also easy to park down by the beach. Well enclosed garden for dogs and lovely decking with table and seating area to take in the sublime view. Would highly recommend.

A totally secure garden for the dog to play in. Lovely welcome pack from the host, to complement the excellent facilities at the house. Every thing about our stay was perfect - thank you
