Albury House is an impressive, thatched, 17th century home situated in the popular coastal village of Charmouth. Bursting with character and style, with two reception rooms, and three kitchen areas, the generous accommodation and large garden is perfect for all the family.

Comfortable,shabby chic with lots of useful things.

The three generations of our family all voted this house one of the best we have had. We were blown away by how well stocked it was, there was just about everything you could need (other half said to say thank you for the decent corkscrew!) After renting a house in Norfolk from Dorset Hideaways sister company for the last two years, it was such a surprise to find every day items such as cling film/cleaning materials/spices and so on in the cupboards. At our Norfolk place, they didn’t even leave us so much as a dishcloth and we seem to spend an awful lot of our time in the supermarket! The grandchildren loved the trampoline and the garden was so big, they were kept busy for quite a while on their Easter egg hunt. We appreciated the quality bedding and towels and that everyone had a bathroom. There is lots to do in the area and we didn’t scratch the surface. Thank you so allowing us to borrow your lovely house for the week.



Excellent for a family holiday with young children.

A very enjoyable holiday. Great location and the garden with football net; trampoline and other facilities was a real treat.
Blessed with excellent weather which meant we could eat in the garden every night.
Well equipped with toys and other entertainment for the family.
We had such a fun time there. Thank you.
Advertised as a house where dogs were not allowed but we found two dog bowls on the floor in the kitchen and a dog basket complete with dog hairs. Just a warning for anyone with a dog allergy.
It would be helpful to be given instructions to turn the arger down as it gives out a lot of heat which is uncomfortable in hot weather.
Also some cooking utensils are ready for replacing. I had to give them a very thorough clean before using them. Minor points but would make me even more confident recommending it to friends.

We had a wonderful stay at Albury House with extended family. The garden was perfect for 5 young boys. The house was very comfortable, spacious and so well equipped. The location was great, a short walk to the beach or easy access to main routes to other destinations along the coast. We would highly recommend it and would love to revisit in the future. Thank you for a superb holiday.



A great property in a brilliant location, especially with kids given the short stroll to the beach!

The property was great for a large group. For kids the second TV/playroom was areal asset, leaving the living room for quiete enjoyment by adults. The kitchen is 25 paces long, spanning three adjoining rooms. emptying glasses from the washer involved a long walk, for example. The owners need to cut down on the kitchen utensils and appliances to make more space for food preparation and reorganise the kitchen equipment, especially cutlery and utensils to make the whole set up less confusing and more convenient. There's generally far to much stuff and ornaments in the house, leaving little space for guests to put things.

These are intended as constructive feedback from a holiday home owners to another. Wee had a great stay with brilliant weather. So many thanks.

We chose Charmouth for a family holiday as it offered something for everyone. Our group ranged in age from 2 to 80 and the house and garden provided everything we needed, including a large sheltered garden and plenty of space indoors. We were fortunate to enjoy a dry, sunny week, but were reassured that there was a good selection of activities available indoors as well. We’d definitely consider coming here again and would certainly recommend it to others.



A week at Albury House.

Albury house was to allow the gathering for the celebration by family(8) of a 70th birthday! It did not disappoint.
All very straight forward by Dorset Hideaways to secure for our time.
The house and gardens all very spacious as is the parking for easily for 4 cars, which we needed.
The generous welcome pack allow us to get off to a good start, tea and cake all round.
Blessed with sunshine the trampoline and full size quality table tennis table and kit came into their own for the young, and young at heart, leading to the need for a trophy. Full use also made patio and garden furniture as garden also gets its fair amount of sun.
Entertainment in the house also well catered for given our mixed ages. Tech savvy persons an advantage from older(74) point of view.
Team work enabled full English breakfasts to be produced from the Aga and conventional cooker.
The Royal Oak pub across the road from the house needs a mention, did us proud(11), Saturday evening and Sunday lunch, need to book early, as great food good value and the "Team" for attentive service. Midweek too.

We had a lovely family holiday, we loved the garden,table tennis and trampoline . Being able to walk down to the beach and further from the house was also an advantage. It took us a while to navigate the kitchen but it was fully equipped. Ralph (on call) maintenance man ) was immediately available and helpful.
Thank you.

Our 4th year, and an excellent property as the children begin to grow up.
With 3 seating areas, the big family kitchen table, the safe garden and the terrace with the barbecue, it caters excellently for our 3 families, with children niw from 2 to 8
A new fence and trampline this year, but otherwise just the same as ever.

We we’re a family of 10, ranging from 6months - 65 years. We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Albury house. The cottage was superb, with everything you could ever need. Only improvement would be to swap the bunk room to a double room as children don’t really need a en-suite but this never impacted our stay as we shared. The location is great. We had a slight issue with the hot water however within 15mins of reporting the maintenance guy came round sorted & was very helpful and gave lots of information on things to do in the area. Overall amazing stay in a great house in a superb location, will definitely be back!

A beautiful house with enclosed garden.
Inside was every thing you needed for a Family holiday - and so much more.

It was well furnished with plenty of rooms for everyone to do their own thing.
It was spotlessly clean with plenty of towels .
The cooking utensils, China, glasses cutlery were plentiful and immaculate clean.
There were toys, games, books, for children and adults. Also trampoline and table tennis outside.
The situation close to shops , beach and bus stop were ideal.
We have been having family holidays for years and this was the best house by far. Can’t wait to return nextvyear

Albury House exceeded our expectations, for a wider family get together of 9 people including three young children/babies. The facilities were great, especially the patio area and barbeque adjacent to the house plus the other one at the top of a long garden adjacent to trampoline and mini goal and net.

The kitchen had an unusual layout, but was great for family dining, with the working Aga really appreciated. Bedrooms, living areas, conservatory, and bathrooms all excellent.

Will seriously consider staying again.
