Very friendly hosts. Lovely big bathroom and shower. Nicely furnished and decorated. Plenty of plug sockets. Nice choices for breakfast. Had full English one day, mushroom omelette and ham & mushroom omelette on other days. Muesli some days or piping hot porridge other days. Nice bottle of water in the room each day. Nice comfortable sofas in the lounge to sit and chat. Very convenient for the beach and fossil hunting and not much further to the 2 pubs in the village and the bus stops for buses to Bridport for the open top bus to Weymouth, or the other way to Lyme Regis and Axminster.

Having to leave shoes by the door though I understand it saves sand being brought in after walks on the beach, and the rooms are nicely comfortable carpeted. Maybe asking to bring slippers. I should have gone for a double bed rather than the twin room. Comfortable bed but at 6ft I like to stretch out. Next time I'll book a double. Nothing much to fault here.

Another very warm welcome by Jane and her team (second time stayed here and she remembered us despite having lots of guests) Place is exceptionally clean, honesty bar and pleasant area (with games, books) to hang out in if wanted. Location just a small walk from 2 wonderful beaches - for swimming and fossiling - from the SW Coastal path, a small museum and couple of small arty shops. Good bus service to Lyme Regis (and Bridport/Dorchester/Axminster). Very tasty breakfast. On-site parking. All provided with genuine smiles and pleasantness.

There is nothing not to like, everything is good.

We have stayed at Hensleigh House a few times when fossil hunting. We love it here! The price is fair given the proximity to the beach. The staff are so lovely and helpful. Amazing breakfast. Places to leave Welly boots!! We booked three rooms for New Year's Eve and we used the sofas and communal space for games! Great to have this space on offer. The George is a homey and welcoming pub nearby (closed for a few months after New years) We'll be back again for sure!

Next time we will try and book a larger room as we didn't quite have enough floor space for our cases and bags of fossil hunting gear

The location was lovely and peaceful with the beach just a few minutes walk away down the lane, a fish and chip shop (take-away only) and two pubs just around the corner. Charmouth is a lovely village and within easy reach of Lyme Regis which is just a couple of miles away. The room was exceptionally clean with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was generally very good.

We felt that the full English breakfast, although tasty, was slightly lacking, e.g. just half a tomato and a small amount of mushrooms, one small sausage and no hash brown. Attention to this would have made all the difference at no great expense. The amount of bacon, egg and beans were just right. All the other elements of breakfast were perfect, e.g. cereals, yoghurts, fruit, etc.

Our host Jane was friendly and welcoming. The whole place was immaculate and so clean. Breakfast was freshly cooked using local produce and was an amazing start to the day. The location was perfect for a 5 minute walk to Charmouth Beach for fossil hunting (turn left!) and a short walk to The Royal Oak for a very good dinner (book well in advance). Only 10 minutes drive to Lyme Regis - other guests told us the buses were good. No shortage of parking and Jane allowed us to leave the car there after we had checked out. Lovely communal spaces, bright open dining room and a comfortable lounge area. Be kind - bring your slippers and leave your shoes by the back door as politely requested.

Cannot fault anything at all - perfect😊

Everything! Honestly, it was fantastic. There was plenty of parking. An extremely warm welcome. The quiet 2 room family room was perfect. The breakfast was outstanding. What a perfect location for the beach, fossil museum and fossil hunting. We walked along the beach to Lyme Regis which took roughly 30 mins (negotiating big rocks and fossil hunting!) We had our evening meals in Axminister; Belluno Italian (they do deals on a Tuesday) and Reno’s Thai food. Both delicious and would definitely recommend. We intend coming back to Hensleigh if we are in the area. I’ve recommended to all my friends.

Having to go….even though it was pouring with rain!,

We loved everything about Hensleigh House...the location...which was a five minute walk to the beach and very quiet. Jane and her husband were super friendly as was the lovely lady who served breakfast....which incidentally was amazing and kept us full for hours. Our room was spotlessly clean and we were provided with good quality teas and coffees...very impressed with the decaff tea too. Beds and pillows were very comfy...had a fab night's sleep.

There was nothing we didn't like. The only thing that was a bit distracting..and certainly not a criticism...was our breakfast table was right by the exit door. As people were leaving there were a few chilly drafts every time the door was opened.

Very tastefully decorated, ample parking, visitors lounge and honesty bar a great idea.

In our room there was no privacy from neighbouring property, the bed was to hard and wooden frame not a great idea on a small double as we kept bashing our legs on posts maybe a divan would be better. No mirror over dressing table for hair and make up. None full servicing of room not to our personal liking.

1) Location was superb. Only stayed here as original booking in Lyme Regis had building works and cancelled. This worked v much in our favour as LR is 2-1/ mile walk or 10-min bus ride, and Charmouth was so much less touristy. (2) comfortable and easy to feel at home, with spacious lounge area and thoughtful honesty bar and local info. (3) on-site parking, safe, close and free. (4) was spotlessly clean. (5) hosts and staff so friendly and lovely. (6) had twin room. (7) affordable.

Family room was even better than looked in photos. Bathroom exceptionally clean. Lovely breakfast. Great that room refreshments were replaced each day and the option of the honesty bar. Fantastic location for getting to the beach and the local pubs/shops.

(Very small thing - the shower wasn't particularly powerful so it took a little while to wash long hair, however this was only very minor especially considering how great everything else was)
