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. The childrens' play ground was nice with lots of equipment (although some bits needed a bit of maintenance.) Hide

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

Ideal for a large family group and a perfect location being about a 15 minute walk to the beach. With just a couple of minor tweaks to the property it would be even better. Overall I would definitely recommend it.
