I stayed here in late April with my partially sighted, aged Aunt. Having the ground floor room was excellent, especially as its shower was spacious and easy for her to use. The dinners - available for 5 nights a week were delicious and we feasted on local fish. Beds were comfy and the beach is just down the road for... More

We spent two nights with our children at the Hensleigh and I would recommend it, or stay again in a heartbeat. The location, both near the beach and with easy walking distance of the restaurants in town made for very easy traveling with our children. Breakfasts were very well presented, filling and tailored to meet individual needs. The rooms were... More

We've just returned from this wonderful place and we're going to be going back. On arrival, we were greeted by the proprietor who couldn't have made us more welcome. We felt at home as soon as we set foot inside the door. We were told to treat the place like home (and we did). My sons could play football in... More

Thank you Caroline for your warm hospitality. Great location just 2 minutes away from the beach, with other beautiful villages just a few minutes drive from Charmouth. Friendly greeting with great service throughout our stay. Lovely food, comfortable beds, friendly atmosphere; a brilliant olace to come stay as a family group. look forward to visiting again. More

I have just returned from Hensleigh Hotel in Charmouth, Dorset, where my family and I had a wonderful time. We telephoned en-route to give an ETA and on arrival were greeted by Caroline and her daughter, Jemma, who, we feel, couldn’t have made our stay more pleasurable. Everyone was so helpful, friendly and accommodating. Our room was spacious and clean... More

Positives: close to wonderful Charmouth Beach and an utterly charming lady called Ally to make your breakfast. Negatives: disappointingly dated decor, tired threadbare towels, a stained carpet and the scent of cooked cabbage. Sadly, the negatives outweigh the positives rendering this not good value for money.

Initial thoughts were disappointing, advertised as a hotel with cost reflective of this status, but clearly it is not and should be classed as a B&B. Location was ideal, minutes from the beach. Our room was comfortable and clean but no bath only a shower which was basic in performance. Tea and coffee in room which is always a nice... More

We stayed here for a day in the off-season (late September). For a relaxing, peaceful stay in a quiet off-season in a very nice setting, it is perfect. Country setting, two minutes walk to the beach. If you are looking for a busy, flashy setting, don't come here, but if you want a setting to match the location, it's great.... More

We discoverd this hotel by chance and once there didn't really feel like leaving. Our room was large and clean with a shower/bath. The cooked breakfasts were good and tastey. All the staff were friendly and helpful..It was a great break. The 'George' is three minutes into Charmouth for food and the beach is three minutes the other way. For... More

Thank you for your comments and am pleased you were happy with the room and cleanliness which we pride ourselves on. Sorry you were not happy with the breakfast which the majority of our guests rave about - the sausages are from a local butcher and handmade with locally produced meat - they have won taste of the west awards...
