Leading off from here is a stylish dining room all set up for guests to enjoy their culinary experience and spend time eating, drinking, chatting and generally getting into the holiday spirit. If the weather allows then the outside sun terrace is a great place for eating and socialising alfresco with those gorgeous views on show constantly. After a busy day of holidaying, it’s good to know that there is a welcoming bedroom to lay your weary head from the ground-floor king-size and twin to the magnificent master suite which comes with its own delightful roof terrace, as well as a twin and even children’s bunk beds to complete the boudoirs. For families on holiday in the area, this is a splendid base from which to discover the delights of Dorset. Charmouth itself is beautifully unspoilt and is located within an Area of Outstanding Beauty so there are photo opportunities at every turn when you’re exploring! The kids will love the Tunnel Tree Tops zip-line and aerial adventure park which is just a short drive from Charmouth as is the Tunnel Target Sports Centre shooting range and sports centre. Forde Abbey and Gardens is well worth a visit and there are also the Beer Quarry Caves near Seaton and Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens which are activities the whole family can enjoy. For a family holiday to remember Yarrow is the perfect destination.

..Plenty of space for a large family and spotlessly clean..

The sliding doors are temperamental and do not always lock. If you want/ need WiFi this is not the property for you, although this didn't bother us. One of the tub chairs is broken (springs sticking through) and one of the downstairs single beds also has springs sticking through. Many of the pans do not work on the hob- they are not induction compatible. Garden needs some TLC. Outside chairs on the roof terrace are broken. On the positives: Easy to find. Super location for visiting the local beaches and places of interest. Some great places to eat nearby.

The facilities kitchen, bathrooms all spotless and well stocked. The welcome pack was one of the best we have had. Well thought out and generous. The internet worked but is very slow and the TV signal also has a poor reception. We were supposed to put the towels in clear plastic bags but the previous occupants or cleaners had used them as bin liners. There were no other bin liners provided and the bins were full to overflowing. Overall it's a superb property and we would happily come back there.
