We all had an amazing holiday .they even opened up the swimming pool for us as it was out of season. We had a five bedroom lodge as we were a party of 11 including a baby . We found the Lodge to be clean and tidy with the perfect size kitchen for us all. Would definitely recommend this holiday cottage.

The cottage was ideal for our three generation family break. Spacious, quiet, clean and comfortable and a nice location.

The Big Oak, was the perfect place for our family holiday, from start to end the hospitality was 100%. Really enjoyed the health club options. The area is beautiful and people are awesome. Near by shops and places to eat was just right. A place that is secured and enjoyable for the children as well.

The cottage was very spacious, bright, airy and extremely clean. It suited our mixed-generation family group really well. We had a super week here (perfect weather too) - just a walk to Charmouth beach, and Charmouth itself is lovely. We used the swimming pool most days - very good, heated and a good size, a great facility - and would be even more Read morewelcome if the weather was bad.

What we loved - Cottage was very clean when we arrived. Quite big and spacious. We enjoyed it, we went as a family of 11. Had an issue with the light and the owner fixed it very quickly. Very friendly hosts. Good location, few steps from a rocky beach and a few good shops near by to buy your every day necessities. What we didnt like - Quite disappoRead moreinted with the swimming times with it closing at 1pm - you have to book Also when swimming, it felt like we were being watched the whole time Hide
