The Chalet on the Beach

We could not recommend this property while it has the maintenance issues outstanding with the kitchen floor outside the shower room.

After returning each year for the past 3 years this beach hut is a special place to unwind and relax in a beautiful location.

As a solo traveler I enjoy the peace and quiet when needed, but also the town is close-by when you need interaction with other people.

The accommodation suits me perfectly and has everything needed to enjoy my stay.

I look forward to many more adventures in years to come. Would highly recommend this holiday beach hut to everyone!

Worth a visit

Be very aware of the poor condition of the posts and steps down to the beach, which makes this a hazardous place for older people and toddlers.

Bed should be looked at again. Very claustrophobic up there. Bathroom very smelly even though we left the fan on and door open. Location brilliant. Lots of thoughtful touches but no welcome pack. I feel we paid a premium price (£704.75 for four nights in middle of July) which was more than we should have paid. Classic cottages staff member that rang me was lovely though and I felt she really listened to me. Mezzanine bed very claustrophobic. Had a panic attack after being up there during the first night. We had to vacate to the sofa bed. Sofa bed not comfortable with very thin padding so could feel springs/ webbing through it. As I said, location was absolutely fabulous and no seagulls that end of Lyme Regis either! Shower itself very good and strong flow. There is no hairdryer. I would take bin bags for food waste as there is no bin or liners. Fortunately I took some so that was ok. Lots of good and positive points but a few drawbacks too.

Such a lovely beach hut, the location was amazing. We absolutely loved listening to the waves, and watching the ocean. When you open the doors in the morning the sea air is so refreshing. The cabin had everything we needed to be very comfy for the weekend and we brought our own chairs for decking (as recommended) . We took strolls down the beach looking for fossils, walks onto the main beach and into town all of which were close by. The shower was lovely warm after a swim in the sea, and we enjoyed a bacon sandwich on the hot plate afterwards. We even got to see the RNLI boat take off. Would 100% recommend this beach hut and would love to return another time.

We had a lovely holiday

We visited the Chalet on the Beach towards the end of March and it exceeded our expectations.
Absolutely stunning location straight onto Monmouth Beach with private parking. We left the car on Saturday and didn't use it again until we left! So relaxing sleeping with the sound of the sea, and sitting on the veranda with a drink.
I was a bit dubious about the mezzanine bed at first as I get quite claustrophobic, but once you're in it it's super comfy and cosy, like being in a little den.
The area on Monmouth beach was really tranquil, but also within easy walking distance of the rest of Lyme Regis where there was loads of things to see and do, and lots of great pubs and restaurants.
On a clear night you can see so many stars here due to so little light pollution. We loved having drinks round a beach fire in the evenings and gazing at the stars listening to the waves.
The footpath along Monmouth beach towards the main fossil hunting area is directly Infront of the chalet, and we did get a lot of people looking at us and trying to peer in the windows to see what the inside was like, which was the only downside to our stay. In high season I imagine it's almost a constant stream of people walking past so be aware of that.

A fabulous stay in the chalet. The most perfect position and next to a charming town. Parking was convenient and the chalet had everything you need.

You really couldn't get any closer to the beach! Step off your veranda onto sand - amazing. This small space is cleverly designed to provide good kitchen, bathroom, sleeping and lounge space. I would recommend you bring some comfy deck chairs and perhaps a small picnic table for the veranda as you will, like us, more than likely use the inside table and chairs for bag storage. The chalet is just a few minutes walk into Lyme Regis which is packed with shops and places to eat and the main beach there, whilst very busy in peak season, is really nice. Being able to park at the back of the chalet is a huge bonus. The bed is very comfortable, but if you have any mobility issues you will struggle with accessing the bed space. The bathroom floor tends to stay wet so make sure you pack your flip flops.

The beach the chalet is on is dog friendly but not great for swimming if there is any wind.

This was our second visit and we’d return in an instant.

A very nice property, clean and tidy. Great location. Would stay again.

We stayed for a week and wished we had stayed longer.
The location is fabulous and the beach hut was really well equipped.
The parking space was an absolute bonus.
We would definitely go again

Was brilliant the whole experience of being in an actual beach hut on the beach.

Great location right on the beach yards from the sea.
Perfect holiday location with great views of the sea.
Every thing has been provided to a good standard.
We can’t wait to return.
Bonus free car parking behind the chalet.

We had a fabulous week at this chalet it was clean and comfortable, perfect location on the beach and just a short stroll.to the shops . Parked my car behind chalet when we arrived and didn't get back in until we left ! Perfect

Great location, sleeping in the chalet was not easy as very limited headspace also we had noisy but nice neighbours, baby during the day teething and teenagers partying into the early hours of morning. All normal things but as you are living on top of each other with windows open can be difficult for anyone requiring sleep.

Beautiful location and a lovely tiny chalet perfect for two people. Modern and clean with everything you need. Lovely to arrive to tea, coffee, milk and biscuits. Beautiful sunrises and fantastic to wake up so close to the sea. Half term was quite busy but great for people watching and building stone towers. Not many fossils to see because so many people are trying their hand at fossil finding by smashing up the rocks. Still very beautiful and Lyme Regis is great. Lots of lovely places all around. Worth driving to Durdle Door too. Will go again I’m sure.

Amazing location. Small, but very well designed and equipped. Weak phone signal, perfect for a quiet get-away. We plan to go back.

Had a lovely stay , felt very safe and secure for a traveler who wish to stay on there own I would recommend, met with some milk in the fridge and packet of biscuits which was a nice touch. Best thing is being right on the beach even when the weather is raining and stormy.

Great location. No wi-fi, Phone reception patchy but possible at times.

Nice to sleep to waves crashing on shore and stars above on clear nights.

lovely cosy stay right on the sea front, it was absolutely fantastic. everything needed was inside this tardis of a chalet

Fantastic location, easy access to the town, handy base to explore the south coast and added bonus of excellent star gazing opportunities. Comfy bed shelf too!

Very pretty beach hut with everything you need for your stay. Location perfect - right on the beach and very close to all the shops and restaurants in Lyme (but much quieter than the main beach)

Fabulous, idyllic, quiet location but only five minutes walk to pretty, lively town with great choice of restaurants

Right on the beach with great facilities close by. Wonderful location on the Jurassic beach

We had a excellent and relaxing weekend at the chalet on the beach. It was comfortable clean and had all and more than we were expecting.

Perfect location but due to the size of the chalet I would suggest you have to be fit enough to use the upstairs bed, otherwise it is rather cramped downstairs if you have to use the sofa bed

Lovely and warm, super wet room with underfloor heating

Perhaps keep your packing to a minimum

Very beneficial to have parking space because the parking in the town is quite expensive if you are staying for some time

A brilliant few days on the beach
To wake up to the sound of the sea was a delight ??
Brilliant few days to chill out .
The accomodation had everything we needed .
clean and comfortable ..

Fantastic location, very quiet and neighbours very friendly
Would love to stay again but would bring our own outside chairs

Wonderful location near to all facilities but far enough away for peace and quiet. A lovely beach hut with everything you need ??

A little slice of heaven.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the chalet on the beach. It was cosy, comfortable and an absolute joy to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of the sea. We would love to come back!

A little piece of heaven!

Any of the above.

fantastic location

As a pensioner holidaying on my own for the first time this was perfect. Sitting on the veranda with a good book & the occasional glass of wine - heaven!

It's a unique experience to stay at The Chalet and one we thoroughly enjoyed. I would say take as little belongings as possible as space is obviously at a premium. Complete relaxation guaranteed but all that Lyme Regis has to offer is minutes walk away. Having the car parking space immediately at the rear of the chalet was a huge bonus.

This little hideaway is a perfect, intimate spot for two people. We loved everything about it, even the fun of my 6'3" husband clambering in to the bed loft!

Fab break, in a beautiful chalet in a lovely location.

A wonderful place to kick back, relax and let the world go by.

A wonderful base for exploring Lyme and the Dorset coast, or simply for just sitting on the deck outside the Chalet with tea and a book and relaxing the afternoon away. This was my second stay at the Chalet, and it was everything I remembered from my first visit last year, and I'm already planning my third visit. The Chalet has everything you need - crockery, tea pot, hot plate, microwave, cooking utensils and pots/pans. My first 'stay' anywhere since lockdown I was delighted and reassured to find the Chalet clean, fresh and ventilated, with plenty of eco-friendly cleaning products provided, including washing up liquid, toilet rolls and hand wash. I will be back to stay again.

This place is a little gem. It had everything you could possibly need for a week away. Hope to visit again someday.

The perfect little beach retreat.

Amazing little property. Simpleness and solitude..
the chalet is literally on the beach and we had severe storms. The owner checked we were ok .
The chalet is warm and cosy.
Bed is really comfortable.
Shower and underfloor heating brilliantl! Can’t wait to go again

An absolutely wonderful chalet in a perfect location.

You can't beat the location. Chalet was compact but perfect for a few days. Parking behind the cottage was a bonus in a busy resort.

The Chalet on the beach exceeded our expectation in terms of comfort, fittings and equipment. The wet room shower was a real bit of luxury with the heated floor and was very spacious considering the overall size of the chalet. All other equipment was of a very high standard. Location was perfect.

If you've ever wanted to fall asleep to the sound of the waves, then this is the ideal place to do so. Sit outside on the deck and watch the light change over the course of the day.

This little chalet is the perfect place for peace, quiet and relaxation! Straight onto the beach, lots of lovely walks , fossil hunting, pubs and shopping all within walking distance!
The locals and other holiday makers are friendly and helpful and the chalet is small but has everything you need!
I vacant wait to return, in fact I could rent this chalet permanently and stay forever.

We had a great stay thanks
Wish i was still there!

We had a wonderful time in the chalet on the beach. Most tranquil setting.
We had a very comfortable stay.

We had a fabulous short break and would highly recommend The Chalet at the Beach. It had everything we could ask for and it was wonderful being able to escape back there during the hot afternoons after exploring Lyme Regis in the mornings. Going to sleep hearing the sea was amazing, as was waking up and simply walking out of the door onto the unspoilt Monmouth Beach. We miss it already.

A lovely getaway for the two of us, perfectly located to enjoy the fossil beach, 5 min walk to the beach/cobb facilities. We fished, had a campfire on the beach, walked between the tide times. Had the beach to ourselves in the evening once the fossil hunters had departed. This area of Monmouth beach is stunning, and changes appearance during the tide changes and is beautiful.

Beautiful chalet , clean , modern , great location , we had wonderful weather, so were able to sit outside & admire the view , lovely to have milk , tea , coffee & biscuits on arrival ,that was most welcome , thank you , hope to return next year would definitely recommend x

A perfect location in every way. Not only is it on the beach but is only a short stroll to all amenities
Ability to park next to beach hut a real bonus
A beach hut with underfloor heating in the wet room. Who’d have thought it!

The chalet is perfect for a quiet break in a great location.
I took a pile of books and also enjoyed walks in the area - the Tourist Information Centre was helpful when advising about tides and safety for the walk along the beach to Charmouth.

Stunning location, perfect little hut for two!

We had an excellent week clean comfortable and very relaxing and would highly recommend

From our arrival to our departure a first rate accommodation everything you need is already there best location we have ever stayed in quite and peaceful wonderful wonderful owner and staff can’t wait to rebook

A beautifully and tastefully decorated chalet to the highest specification, thoughtfully planned out with the customer always in mind. We had a perfect stay, would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and look forward to being able to book again in the near future.

A glorious experience and one much treasured. The evenings were peaceful and magical with the beach and the flowing and ebbing tide all to oneself.
Just be aware that ‘fossil hunters’ swarm the beach all day with hammers and chisels and the noise of chipping rocks and hammering is very annoying and bang on top of you !!
Hence only 4 stars sadly.

Excellent property and company. Everything is in easy walking distance and loads to do. We would definitely recommend and will use classic cottages again.

You can tell the world that we had a perfect time and would reccommend it to lovers or newly married couples.

Wonderful location and design , a lot of care has gone into the chalet . Perfect weekend by the sea.

The Chalet was lovely and was just as described.Beautiful location.

Beautiful chalet, plenty attention to detail to make it a special and relaxing holiday in a wonderful seaside location, close to Lyme centre, yet away from the crowds.

My husband and I would definitely book the chalet again .The weather was exceptional which made the break even better and the view was outstanding.

beautiful place would stay again the owner was very nice and takes care of the chalet like her home. very happy with our stay

The Clalet was just lovely - lovely spot with the sea so close, and a comfy, light and airey chalet. Everything was spotless and felt like new.

Lovely chalet - beautifully equipped in a stunning location. The tea, coffee and biscuits were very welcome when we arrived. Easy walking distance to everything in Lyme Regis but, bearing in mind the cripplingly steep roads in the town, we'd advise walking through the gardens going 'up' and through the town coming 'down'.

So beautiful and petfdctly located - we absolutely fell in love with it (so much so we don't really want to tell anyone!)

Sitting on the verandah, with nothing to spoil your view of the sea and sky is a rare treat. The landscape at this spot is lovely. There are no roads to cross and no parked cars (although the beach is for the most part stoney). If you go expecting hotel-room comfort, you'll be both disappointed and missing the point. It's a beach hut after all. But if you go expecting smart camping, you'll likely be delighted, as were we. We thought the hut cleverly designed, fitted and equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom. It's all been very well thought out and nothing has been done on the cheap (there are no hand-me-downs here). It's also very well insulated, and has heating.

The verandah has an old table which stays out in rain and shine so is a bit weather worn. This didn't bother us, but if it's likely to bother you, you might want to take a a tablecloth.

The mezzanine bed has pretty low head room and is a bit of challenge to get into, but it is comfortable to sleep in (we managed OK). However, if it's not for you, there's also a sofa bed on the ground-floor level.

This is the third time in less than 2 years we have stayed in Classic Cottage or Classic Glamping sites and the properties have all been exceptional.
Loved this chalet the location was stunning literally had the beach in front of you, amazing views.
Beautifully kitted out and very comfortable.
Loved this for a long weekend.

A must for anyone who enjoys the beach and sea so close. Wonderful chalet with everything you need for a great holiday. Location is perfect for discovering the Jurassic coast line around Dorset and Devon. Unique and charming chalet.
