Pebbles Reach

Pebbles Reach has three bedrooms upstairs, a king-size with a TV and two twins, so it sleeps six. It is a converted farm building on a gated complex of 16 properties in Charmouth, with the village amenities and beach a short stroll away.

Downstairs, the lounge has a TV and DVD player, and the kitchen/diner beyond it has an integrated oven and gas hob, a microwave, a fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. A wet room with a WC is on the ground floor. The first-floor bathroom has a shower over the bath and a WC. Outside, a small private patio has garden furniture.

Guests can use the covered, heated outdoor pool at the neighbouring holiday park, which is open on set dates through the season. The coffee shop and children's play area are on the park too. Adults over 18 can pay extra for the Char Valley Health Club, which has a gym, an indoor pool, a sauna and a steam room.

Parking is on site and guests can arrive between 4pm and 8pm. Short breaks are only possible in off-peak weeks. A refundable security deposit is payable nearer the date, a cot mattress and stairgates are not provided, and electric cars cannot be charged at the cottage. Wi-Fi through the club carries a charge. The cottage does not accept dogs. It suits a family of up to six, or friends sharing, who want a pool nearby.
