What our previous guests are saying ...

Mark

My son and I enjoyed a 1 night stay to go fossil hunting on Charmouth Beach. The place is lovely and comfy and only 10mins walk to the beach, cafe, takeaway and two pubs. We will be staying again in the future. Thanks
Dan

A great place to stay,, very clean, tidy and modern with an extremely comfortable bed, everything we needed was there, we would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to anyone.
Barbara

Freshly decorated and furnished, very comfortable and well-equipped. We had everything we needed. Even managed to enjoy our supper using the table and chairs on the patio (at the end of October!). Lovely bathroom. Great beach, good for beach-combing and plenty of walks nearby (if only we had had the time). Easy parking.
Joanna

Most comfortable beds I have ever had in a hotel/airbnb
Аnna

Fantastic stay at very short notice!
Katherine

Wonderful Airbnb in Charmouth, only 10 mins walk from the beach.

The studio is secluded and private with all the amenities you could need- including some breakfast items and fresh milk which were much appreciated.

Rachel was a fantastic host to communicate with; friendly with clear instructions.

Would highly recommend!
Alexander

My stay at Rachel's had to be organised quickly because I wanted to stay near family.
Fortunately was just what I wanted, a wonderfully comfortable bed, a modern shower and easily controllable heater. It was super to see Rachel in waterproofs bringing the breakfast stuff in the pouring rain!
We would love to stay again sometime.
Sue

Lovely stay
Thank you for looking after us x
Jessica

This was our second stay here, and would absolutely stay again!
Great location for what we wanted to do. Host is very friendly and responsive in messages. Cant fault the place or the host at all
Anja

We enjoyed our stay a lot because it was a quiet and neat place. My partner was sick and we asked to access the airbnb a bit sooner and Rachel made it possible. We enjoyed the calm place and the terrace, close to a small river. Everything was clean, too. Thanks a lot!!
Michelle

We had a wonderful overnight stay. The annexe had everything we needed with lots of thoughtful touches. Breakfast by the stream was an added bonus! Highly recommended!
Lauriane

Not the first time we stay here, it was lovely, like the 1st time. Very good communication with the host
Cathy

Had a lovely end of walk overnight at Halycon. Just what was needed and a lovely breakfast the following morning. Nice sea themed decor and good facilities which were very welcome after a hot strenuous walk over the Golden Cap .
Kate

Great base for West Dorset coast or as a stopover which we booked it for on way back from Cornwall. Easy walk to beach, shops, pub and cafes etc. Lovely to sit out on patio listening to babbling brook. Spotless and well equipped . Thank you. We had a lovely stay x
Paul

I would absolutely stay here again of we are in the area for a weekend. Lovely place to stay. Rachel was very easy to communicate with and check in was simple. Clean and tidy with all you need for a stay. Thanks Rachel.
Melanie

Very comfortable large bed, everything beautifully clean. Clear and timely messages & instructions from Rachel about check in and directions/parking. She responded to my query about local pub/restaurants immediately with helpful advice. Good tv and Wi-Fi.
We particularly enjoyed the complimentary muesli which Rachel very kindly provided with our own choice of milk, as well as croissants/jam - all unexpected and very welcome before we set off again the next morning. We had our breakfast sitting out in the small private patio area right by the river. Very peaceful.
Great walking right nearby at Stonebarrow Hill (National Trust) to Golden Cap. Charmouth Beach moments away. Our first experience of Airbnb and it was a very good one! Thank you Rachel.
Karen

We stayed for 2 nights on the way from Devon to Somerset. The room and bathroom were a good size as compared with many hotel rooms with the added benefit of an outside space with table and chairs. Muesli and croissants were provided for breakfast along with tea, coffee, biscuits etc. The room was arranged very well, with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you!
Lee

Just a one night stay as we were passing through. But will be back to explore the beautiful area.
Georgia

We had a lovely, peaceful stay. Great location for Charmouth beach and only a short drive to Lyme Regis or West Bay. Rachel communicated frequently and even provided a complimentary breakfast. Highly recommend.
Katherine

Lovely air bnb close to all
The local amenities and bus route , easy to find and check in spotlessly clean and loved the breakfast !!
Mark

Clean, tidy accommodation and perfect for our needs. Eating breakfast with the sound of the stream was a great way to start the day!
Andre

Excellent place to stay very close to the beach and easy to find. Rachel was very responsive and provided us with a nice continental breakfast which was much appreciated. Would highly recommend if you need a place to stay.
Tony

We had a lovely stay, great location and everything as described.
High recommended.
Mandy

Perfect overnight stop off when touring the Jurassic coast, excellent location for dog friendly beach
Helen

Lovely room in a lovely setting.
Sarah

Excellent accommodation that is modern and was spotlessly clean.
Croissants & Muesli for breakfast were an added bonus. Great location with a bus that passes by if u don’t fancy driving to Lyme Regis x
Cathy

Really lovely place to stay in Charmouth. Beautifully decorated, well furnished and immaculately clean, would stay again.
Fiona

What a lovely secluded and private little place to stay for a couple of nights. It is thoughtfully furnished, has all you need and is very well kept and spotless. There is a well organised bedroom which is a good size and a bathroom with a large shower. I would suggest bringing mirror for hair or makeup as there is only one in the bathroom. The secluded outdoor seating area with the river running by just beside extends the space and was lovely especially for breakfast for which croissants were supplied each day. Charmouth beach is within easy walking distance (for us), taking about 10 mins if that and the shops and pub are just up the road. Rachel our host was incredibly helpful and communication was excellent. Great place for a short stay near the beach with own parking.
Ben

Really enjoyed our stay and place was lovely
Martin

What a gem found last minute. Lovely peaceful room by a stream. Very clean and comfortable. Loved the breakfast provided. Host was very informative and kept in touch regularly.

Ideal location, coastal bus stop just up the road so no need to use car.

Would definitely use again and would highly recommend to anyone.
Penny

We enjoyed our stay at the Robins nest, the croissant Were delicious. The beds were very comfortable,fortunately the weather was perfect and so able to sit and eat outside. The accomodation was very well placed for walking to the beach and visiting the local pub, in this case The George , food was lovely and the service and atmosphere lovely.
We would like to suggest oiling the bathroom door!! In the warmer weather a fan would be lovely👍 The bathroom was lovely but my husband has bad rheumatism in his hands and the loo was a little difficult to flush. All in all we enjoyed our stay, thank you Rachel . X
Richard

Stayed for one night for a wedding nearby. Perfect position for us. Comfortable bed, spotlessly clean, and even some Croissants and Muesli supplied for breakfast
Nice stream running through the back garden too.
Shanika

We had a lovely night away in Charmouth. The accommodation was clean and beautifully presented. The location was within walking distance to local amenities and pubs and restaurants. We would definitely stay there again! The host had thought of everything and we had all we needed.
Hania

Thank you for a lovely stay! Spotlessly clean and fab location. Bed was super comfy! Would highly recommend 😊
Jessica

What a lovely stay, we spent a lot of time at the beach which was just a 5 minute walk away.
Lovely surprise of balloons and wine arranged by Rachel and my partner for when we arrived for our 6 year anniversary.
Simon

The room was clean and well appointed, the bed was very comfortable.
Maggie

Rachel was helpful, friendly, very quick to respond to queries. everything was lovely. The bed was brilliant. I missed having an arm chair though realise there is little room for it. And I missed having any food prep equipment. Just enough for breakfast, and microwave for simple food. I was very happy there for a few days.
Christine

Very clean modern room. Lovely bathroom.
Amanda

The room was fantastic, well laid out and extremely well appointed. The bathroom was spotless and very nicely decorated.

My son and I stayed for a weekend of fossil hunting and had a lovely place to come back to. We were able to have our dinner by using the microwave and enjoyed a few hours of watching movies.
It was really easy to find and very conveniently close to the beach.

Rachel was so welcoming and set up the room as a twin for us and also catered for our dietary needs as well.

A wonderful stay that will stay in our memories.

Thankyou!
Emma

Wonderful place to stay when you want to go fossil hunting . The beach is in walking distance and the amenities too. So calming with the stream next to the patio. Outstanding host with amazing communication. Complimentary breakfast wonderful touch.
James

nice unit, with private outdoor space.
good communication
Suzanne

A lovely Airbnb right next to the river. Rachel communicated really well & the breakfast was a great surprise. Would highly recommend.
Grainne

Great communication and clear instructions for finding Halycon and when inside too.

Super location to walk to Charmouth Beach and for the high street - me and my 5 year loved it.

The property had everything we needed for a couple of days including a very handy book for the timings of the tide.

We loved the croissants provided every morning and tea/coffee and pint of milk.

Highly recommend The Royal Oak for lunch or dinner. They also have kids menus.

Overall super accommodation, super location and highly recommend.
Scott

Lovely little place for our short stay. Exactly what we needed
Arran

Excellent little place with everything you need after a long walk on the beach. Clean and comfortable for the fossil hunters and andventurers.
Highly recommend
Lovely stay.
Lisa

Racheal was a great host, plenty of pre visit communications. Nothing was too much trouble. Very impressed!

Lovely stay with beautiful surroundings, place was as described and clean. Really great host, thank you 😊

Clean well kept room, no complaints whatsoever

The was the perfect place for us to stay and come back too after a long days walking! Peaceful and comfortable. Breakfast was thoughtful and much needed.
We will definitely be back and will happily recommend.
Justin

Perfect for a night or two stay. Close to the beach and doggo’s are welcome 🙂
Kelly

What a wonderful peaceful place to stay. The accommodation was fantastic and had everything we needed. The river views are amazing and so lovely to wake up to the sound of the river and birds.
Would recommend to my family and friends.
A little gem in a charming village.
Thank you 😊
Paige

Best host yet! Went above and beyond to make our stay special and with birthday decorations etc even though it was just one night.
Elizabeth

Small but perfectly formed! In fact, not even that small. We were 2 friends and 2 dogs, and we fitted in fine. The whole place was spotless and we had fresh croissants waiting for us each day. 2 mins walk to town and 12mins walk to the beach for some fossil hunting!
Robert

We enjoyed a lovely short break in the Halcyon for our anniversary. Rachel was a great host. It was a great room, with comfy beds and a spotless, spacious en-suite and it was lovely to have a place to sit inside or outside on the private patio overlooking the river. Having breakfast everyday was super, as well as the mini fridge, kettle and microwave- everything we needed was here. Easy to find, it was perfectly placed to explore Charmouth, and the many other nearby places and beyond. We hope to return again another time!
Vikki

lgreat location lovely, fully equipped, we really appreciated the gluten-free and lactose free breakfast items, and it was very thoughtful.
would highly recommend it.
thankyou.
Jake

Very helpful host and a really nice place to stay close to Charmouth beach - would nightly recommend!
Jessica

Loved the place. Listening to the river was beautiful. The place was spotless. Had everything we needed and really enjoyed our stay!
Alex

Lovely room close to the beach at a great price. Rachel was very communicative and helpful throughout.
Michaela

Communication with Rachel was great and she responded to questions straight away.
The property was perfect for our few days away. Situated at the bottom of the village so walking everywhere was easy which is what we were looking for. On-site parking was a godsend as I know how difficult it can be when the village is busy.
Would definitely stay again.
Jeanette

Rachel was very friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble for her. The facilities were excellent, clean, fresh and with all the comforts of home. There is a beautiful tranquil garden space that is perfect to unwind and relax with the sound of running water from the nearby river and the beautiful sounds of the birds.
Thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful setting.
Nina

Very clean, tidy and modern
Natalie

Rachel’s Airbnb is fantastic. Very clean and peaceful. Rachel also very thoughtfully catered to dietary needs with provision of breakfast as well. Definitely recommend staying here.
Hanna

Clean and modern with a lovely touch of breakfast provided. Also, it was great having a mini fridge and outside were some handy little recycling bins. A small walk away is a lovely beach.
Georgina

Lovely area, in walking distance of the beach and two pubs. Host very flexible. Accommodation very clean and comfortable.
Jade

Really enjoyed staying at Halcyon, it’s a great use of space and such a beautiful spot on the river.
Everything was spotless and all the little additional extras were well received.
Although directly attached to Rachel’s house, it still felt private. We loved the recycling facilities also!
Bonus being so close to Lyme Regis for a day trip!
Rachel was a great communicative host and I world highly recommend staying here.
Allison

Super easy check in process with communication friendly and clear throughout. Halcyon is spotlessly clean and cosy and has everything you'd need at hand. The outdoor space and the river running past is a wonderful added bonus.
Jason

lovely little place, the host was very proactive with excellent communication
Olivia

Easy check in process, responsive host, clean and even got breakfast provided for us!
Jane

Lovely place, bit dark inside but very pleasant and comfortable.
Coriander

Although it’s smaller than we thought it would be, the reasonable price reflects the size so it wasn’t a problem at all. Rachel was very friendly and left breakfast in the fridge. The little outside seating is nice, the only thing is the beds were very hard. All in all a lovely stay.
Nicola

Rachel’s place is great! I was a little worried it was going to be noisy as it’s close to the road, but it’s really tucked away and listening to the river below is so peaceful! Thanks for your hospitality 🙂
Andrias

Lovely stay with a river passing by outside the door. lovely to open the door in the morning and listen to it flowing by. The public footpaths are really close by.
Nice stay, very clean and tidy.

Thank you Rachel!
Amy

Great stay, easy check-in & check out, responsive host
Jo

This was a great place to stay - everything was spotlessly clean, Rachel was excellent at communicating and even let us check in earlier. The breakfast items were a lovely addition and the outdoor space was a bonus. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
Sandra

We stayed one night at Rachel's. It was lovely, clean and next to Lyme Regis. Communication was quick and easy. A breakfast was prepared for us for the next day.
Jack

A tranquil and nice place to stay. Close to Charmouth and Lyme Regis by car, bus or walking. We had a comfortable night’s sleep and Rachel’s place is lovely and clean
Brendan

Comfortable bed, plenty of hot water in shower, muesli and croissants for breakfast!
Lisa

A lovely apartment , furnished to a very high standard , great stop our walk of the south west coastal path 😀
Ellie

Great stay hear so peaceful minutes from the beach just what we where after. Many thanks to the host!
Daniel

Rachel’s place was a nice stay, ideally for a couple or two people. If you want no stress, choose this
Izzy

Immaculate space, perfect for a mini getaway, flexible check in, right next to a stream. Perfect!
Jon

What a find! Halcyon is a lovely, intimate space, and Rachel has clearly thought of everything. The stream running behind the property is the perfect white noise to drop off to, and everything was lovely. Rachel communicated, and was very flexible when I failed to turn up or leave quite as planned. 6* if I could!
Robert

My partner and I had a very nice night in the apartment, and the hosts were accommodating when we wanted to put something in a freezer. A great location near the southwest coast path and Stonebarrow Hill, just beautiful. We also enjoyed some fossil-spotting. The apartment itself is nice and has everything we needed.
Jodie

Great base to explore area
Simon

Very neat, well equipped and clean and tidy.
It was compact and suitable for single/double/related occupancy for short stays, but 'twin/non-related' style occupancy for more than a night or two, would have been a strain on a 'friend's only' relationship. This turned out to be a single occupancy, due to a late cancellation, but there was originally mention of a third bed, which wasn't available and I thought perhaps that an additional living space had been sealed off prior to my arrival.
All in all a very satisfactory single, brief, night in beautiful Charmouth.
Alice

A fantastic find - we really enjoyed our stay! A wonderful cosy space, with everything you need for a weekend. Hosts went out of their way to help us when we suffered some unfortunate bike punctures too! Thanks very much Rachel 😊
Bruce

Lovely little place to escape for a short stay. Rachel and Sean were very helpful and responsive. The bed was very comfortable and apartment spotlessly clean. Peaceful location and easy to find. Thanks!
Sian

Nicely located for fossil hunting on Charmouth and Lyme Regis. The room was private with its own entrance next to a peaceful river. Rachel was really friendly and topped up our breakfast and hot drink supplies while we were out. Was a nice stay which felt cosy and private. Would stay again.
Alison

We had a lovely stay at Rachel’s. It was clean, warm and in a great location. Bed comfy and the breakfast was tasty. It was amazing having the stream and squirrels just outside. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Eric

Great location. Comfy and clean accommodation. Excellent host!
Wayne

A much needed night away. Halcyon was just lovely, warm, cosy, and well appointed. The bed was very comfy and we slept well. Would love to return in better weather to make the most of the riverside location.
Lucinda

Really clean, nicely presented, good location, very handy for the beach, Lyme Regis and surrounding area.
Laura

Wir hatten einen hervorragenden Aufenthalt bei Rachel. Das Zimmer war super sauber, neu und modern eingerichtet. Es gab jeden Morgen ein kleines Frühstück, auch wurde das genutzte Geschirr gereinigt und wieder sauberes hingestellt. Wir waren vom Service echt begeistert
Da wir im November dort waren und ein paar mal nass wurden, hat Rachel extra für uns noch eine zusätzliche Heizung im Badezimmer angestellt. Der Check -In ging unkompliziert mit einer Schlüsselbox. direkt am Haus gibt es einen eigenen Parkplatz. Man hat viel Privatsphäre in der kleinen Unterkunft 🙂
Immer wieder gerne !
Rachel

Excellent accommodation and location. Great communication with the host in advance. Highly recommend.
Diana

A very convenient place for fossil hunting in Lyme Regis and close to 2 fabulous pubs - self contained private.. and quiet.. cleverly arranged internally

Lovely place for a weekend break.
Jake

It was really easy to communicate with Rachel and her BnB was in a great location.
