The lovely seaside town of Lyme Regis is just a short drive away and offers an unspoilt seafront with glorious sheltered south-facing beaches. There are many other charming resorts including Beer, Seaton and Branscombe, as well as numerous National Trust properties to discover.

Across the hallway is the attractively designed kitchen where you will find all the equipment you may need including an integrated oven and gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. A washer/dryer is located in a useful utility room just of the kitchen. Also on the ground floor is a wet room with WC. Going upstairs, you will find two comfortable bedrooms. There is a comfy king-size bedroom with a TV and a snug twin room. A bathroom complete with a shower over the bath and WC completes the first floor accommodation.

We loved our stay in Rest Ashore, ideal location for walking to Charmouth and base for visiting surrounding areas. We have been coming to this area for many years and it was a super break.

This is the second time we have stayed in the same cottage. It's in such a great location, being able to walk to the local pubs/restaurants and the shops is a bonus, and walking to Lyme Regis is a must. The cottage has everything you need and is very quiet. We will be back.

Cottage lacks in basic amenities. The beds we found very firm , too firm for the children who ended up sleeping on cushions on the floor. Location is good, very easy to get everywhere we wanted to go.
