About this property
Situated just a few minutes walk from Charmouth beach, on a private road with no passing traffic overlooking open countryside is this truly special apartment, Willows. The ideal location for a family or couples travelling together, the apartment is as special on the inside as it is on the outside with a warm and welcoming sitting room greeting the visitor as they arrive. Elegantly furnished, the room has wooden beams and stunning patio doors opening onto a Mediterranean-style terrace. Step into the fully equipped kitchen which is the perfect place for preparing delicious food for the whole family. Choose from informal dining around the rustic dining area or open the doors from the sitting room onto the terrace. The views from the covered terrace are simply mesmerising and you can imagine spending hours here soaking up the amazing views and truly immersing yourself in the holiday spirit. If the weather allows then you can enjoy long, languid meals out here indulging in some delicious local produce and quaffing a favourite tipple while enjoying time with family and friends. The gardens are perfect for children (and dogs!) to run around in while the grown-ups can relax. After all that fresh air, you’ll be ready for your beds and guests can choose from a well-presented king-size and an inviting twin, both of which offer fabulous views over the gardens and beyond. Willows truly offers an idyllic setting just 200 yards from the beach with beautiful rural views of Stonebarrow and within walking distance of the village shops and amenities. For the whole family pay a visit to Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, Axe Valley Wildlife Park and Seaton Tramway.

Ian
Met owner Richard on arrival who made us feel welcome & there was a generous goody gift bag in the kitchen with great local food & drinks. Has everything you could need, sofa, chairs & beds are so comfy, nice new bathroom & well equipped kitchen . Beautiful views out to the lovely villa style covered patio, lush garden & stunning hills & sea. Was lucky with the weather & loved sitting on the swing bench in the evening listening to the sea, blissful. Our dogs loved it too, 2 minutes walk & you are on the beach or green hills. Shops & pub within easy walking distance & nice shack style cafe right on the beach & other cafe & fossil shop on other side of small estuary over wooden bridge which is also very idyllic looking out to sea or up the river Char. Leave the car alone & just enjoy this gem & its unspoilt natural surroundings, no need to go anywhere else.

The property is comfortable, clean and has everything you need. It was lovely to sit outside enjoying a mornng cuppa and watch the dogs play around in the garden. The location itself is fantastic, it's very cosy and private, yet only a couple of minutes walk away from the beach. The shops are an easy stroll away so the car stayed where it was other than for the odd excursion. We are booking again for next year

There was a brand new bathroom suite together with fitted over the bath shower. Loved the covered area and the beautiful, secure garden. Yes, the electricity was by meter but we only spent about £12. Would highly recommend and I hope to return.
