"Lovely cottage we would recommend staying here."
Very spacious and nice enclosed private garden. It’s a shame the fire doesn’t work as that would make it much more cosy in the evening. Short walk to shops and the coast and easy drive to all the main areas. Lyme Regis is only down the road and has lots of facilities.

"The thatched cottage is a lovely, cosy, comfortable ,well equipped cottage."
We had a lovely break over Christmas and everything we needed was supplied.
On arrival we were greeted with a lighted Christmas tree and welcome bag which we really appreciated.
Would love to return in the future.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted that your first impression was good - we have done our best to make it a welcoming cottage in the winter too, so it's lovely when it's appreciated. Do come again. Happy New Year !

"A perfect dog friendly base for exploring Charmouth."
The car did not move all week. Plenty of walking opportunities. The property is on different levels which we soon got used to. Basic kitchen but suited our needs.
Thank you for this - it is lovely to hear that you enjoyed the house and its surroundings. We love it there and are delighted to learn that you felt it was a perfect dog friendly base!

"Spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Thatched Cottage."
The cottage provided everything that we needed. It was clean, tidy and homely. Only a 10 min walk to the beach at Charmouth although the walk back to the cottage was up a steep hill - something to consider before you book if you struggle with walking up hills! We definitely shed a few pounds pushing the buggy up the hill! We'd never been to Dorset before and were keen to explore the county - Charmouth was a great base from which to do this from.

"Generally the cottage needs some maintenance and a good spring clean."
The garden grass needed cutting, the downstairs bathroom taps were really dirty at the base, the throw on tbe settee was a cheap baby blanket, dirty oven gloves. There was also no sun umbrella which is unusual.
The road outside the property is busy with double decker buses and caravans driving past. It does dies down at night but starts up again early in the morning.
Thank you for this feedback - it is good to hear your thoughts. The taps are being changed
- annoyingly the first order was faulty and we are awaiting their replacements. Our marvellous gardener comes every Saturday morning but she cannot cut the grass if it is wet, so in the summer months the grass can get long very quickly. We do have a number of cheap throws for the sofa we expect some people's dogs to lie on and I am sorry if you feel they should be better - I will have a look at alternatives. I hope you enjoyed your stay despite these issues.

"We did love staying in this beautiful cottage."
Charmouth is gorgeous and I'm looking forward to coming back next year.
Ther was a few bits but they have already mentioned.
We did love the welcome package and I found it wonderful to have some basic cleaning supplies and had soap without horrible chemicals .
Thank you for a lovely holiday.

"We had the issue with the running tap that wasn't resolved by the time we left although the company were communicative about it."
Other bits of maintenance are needed, the fridge leaks water on to the floor and the lights in the bathroom have a loose connection as kept going on and off. Outside the lawn had clearly not been cut for a few weeks.
Nice cottage marred slightly by the above.

"Alte Cottage mit style."
Jetzt weiss ich wie Engländer leben. Es hatte alles was braucht. Es ist alles älter als auf die Bilder. Wir haben den Wintergarten genossen. Der Wasser-Hahn in Bad war leider immer noch nicht repariert. Gemäss Rezension in Juni war es schon defekt. Unser Juli-Woche war regnerisch darum konnten wir den harten nicht geniessen. Sehr schöne Umgebungen mit viel zu tun.

"Lovely cottage, very well presented."
The main cold tap in the bathroom will not turn off.
It was far more than a drip and needs sorting asap.
It was running when we arrived and obviously the cleaner was well aware not that he or she could have fixed themselves
Everything else was great
Thanks

Lovely property with a private garden which catches the morning sun on the terrace. On road parking right outside the door. Not far to walk into town and the coast path passes close to the cottage. Dry weather a bonus.

"Lovely warm, comfortable cottage."
Well provided for in terms of amenities. Garden had a sea view when it wasn't raining and the garden room was a lovely place to chill. Location was very convenient with short walk to the beach and into the village for the shops two pubs and really excellent chip shop. The parking outside the cottage wasn't difficult and the road was quiet at night

"The property is fantastic and very well equipped."
A couple of things though we thought need looking at were:
the toilet seat in the downstairs loo as it needs tightening and the handbasin taps in the bathroom currently need an extra quarter turn after thinking they were shut off, otherwise they were still running.
Also I bought Scrabble and I hope you don't mind that we left it in the property as there were no games other than a pack of cards, and a puzzle, which we felt was unusual. And we only found the 2024 tide book on the penultimate day as it was tucked amongst the general books. Knowing it was available would have made things a tad easier.
As I said though, fantastic house and garden. Would absolutely stay again!

"We loved Thatched Cottage and would happily revisit in the future, the decor and facilities were lovely and of a high quality, the beds and crisp white linens were comfortable and greatly appreciated after a day smashing things on the beach!"
We couldn't find instructions for either the cooker or the washing machine it would make things easier if these could be supplied.
Dear Catherine,
Thank you for your feedback - it is good to hear that you enjoyed staying in Thatched Cottage as we have gone to great effort to make it as welcoming as we can. I agree that instructions would help for both the cooker and washing machine and will make a point of organising something that will, I hope, help clarify how to work them.
Best wishes, Nick.

"Lovely cottage with good quality furniture and equipment."
Beds super comfy. Conservatory was lovely in the sunshine. Heating wasn't on when we arrived and on a cold weekend we had to keep boosting it manually. Given that it is dog friendly a couple of extra throws in the lounge would be welcome and reduce worry over white sofa!! Best welcome pack EVER!!!!

"We had a lovely stay at Thatched Cottage in Charmouth."
Even though it was on the main road that runs through Charmouth it was very peaceful. The garden was nicely enclosed which is great for people with 'normal' dogs but if you have a dog like ours, who climbs like a cat, the raised area in the corner is a problem!
It would have been nice to have mirrors in the bedrooms for hair drying etc. but overall everything was provided for.
The downside for us was the rubbish collection. The rubbish from previous tenants was still in the seagull sack and the bin in the back yard.
Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend the cottage to family and friends.

"Lovely cottage and garden and great location (despite the steep hill to the village centre!"
) Would recommend an outside light to garden as steps difficult and dangerous at night. Noticed when we were leaving rain leaking in through garden door. We had a lovely time here and thankyou for the welcome pack (unexpected treat) and guest guide which was very useful.

"The Thatched Cottage is a lovely, clean and well maintained comfortable cottage, with a pretty and very sunny garden."
The on street parking was never a problem for us all.
Charmouth is a scenic and unspoilt little town. Dogs are allowed on the east side of the lovely beach all year which was a great bonus in September. The shops are good and the food in the Royal Oak pub was delicious.
We can definitely recommend this lovely, spacious cottage with a delightful sun room overlooking the private garden. The only negative for us was that we did find the road at the front rather noisy and although it's only a short walk to the beach, pubs etc, the cottage is at the top of quite a steep hill on return!
Thank you to the owner for a really fabulous holiday, the weather was fantastic and we appreciated our lovely welcome gifts. Charmouth is most definitely worth a visit.

"We had a lovely week at Thatched cottage."
The welcome gifts were a really pleasant surprise, Thank you. The house has been really thoughtfully presented, is well equipped and has a lot of character. The garden is a sun trap and a great place to hang out. Our only slight gripe was the mattress in the master bedroom dipped a bit in the middle, so might need replacing at some point.We had no issues with parking both our cars on the street outside the house. We had a great meal at the George in Chideock, The kids recommended the fish and chips from the village and the bakery was brilliant for fantastic bread, scones, crab sandwiches and pasties!

"We all had an enjoyable week staying at the property and appreciated the welcome gift bag!"
The conservatory and garden were well used and we even saw deer on the field behind the property. The beds were very comfy too.
Mirrors in the bedrooms are greatly needed!!! We had no way of drying/styling our hair in view, this was a problem with two teenager daughters and two other women in the group.
Another must is hanging rails for clothes, none of us ended up unpacking our clothes properly as there were only coat hooks and hàngers in the rooms which seemed a bit too basic to be honest.
There were also quite a few moths which might need looking into.
Overall Thatched Cottage was a clean and well stocked for cleaning products etc cottage and the kitchen had all the things we needed and more making it very comfortable.
Thank you for your comments which we will pass onto the owner for consideration.
We hope you enjoyed your holiday,.
