Cottage Review:  

The photos simply dont do this property justice. Huge kitchen, fantastic entertaining space, fully equipped with lovely extra touches like a PC with wi-fi, iPod dock, huge flat scren TV with Sky, and plenty of hot water (very important when there's a big group of you!) Very clean, beautifully decorated. Highly recommended, will visit again.

Make up of party:  Special break for dad's 60th birthday - family holiday.

Cottage Review:  

A house that could offer lots of potential if only it was cared for. Broken chairs and bad plumbing made had been forgiveable if the house had been clean. [Editor's comment: We received this note from the reviewer "Helpful Holidays have been in contact me and they have passed on comments from the owner that assure me that the problems have been resolved. The house has been cleaned and fixed so we're happy that this has been resolved and this can be added to our comments if you wish"]

Cottage Review: Helpful Holidays definitely lived up to their name. Everyone I dealt with was totally lovely, the process was easy and the property was absolutely beautiful. All the friends who stayed there with me were asking how I managed to find it! Quite often, when we go away in a group and stay in a property, we are a bit disappointed at the shabbiness of furniture, lack of working light bulbs, lack of kitchen equipment, etc. but Firlands exceeded expectations by a long way. It is also extremely convenient for River Cottage.

Cottage Review: We found Dorset, beautiful and very friendly. The house in Charmouth was ideal for our 3 families, close to the beach and a few pubs, yet not in a crowded resort. I would definitely go again.

Cottage Review: Great location, the coast is 15 mins walk. Excellent for children with fossils/rock pools & cliff climbing (parents, don't look) & with the car park next to the beach its ideal for those with elderly relatives. Fantastic house & facilities. Definitely book again.

Cottage Review: We have been to Charmouth many times and have finally found the holiday home we'd like to return to. Unfortunately, as the prices for this property are double next year, we won't be doing so.

Cottage Review: Beautiful house, shame not more garden but well situated for beach and bus stop to Lyme Regis. Plenty of extras which was not expected like Sky HD and the use of a computer. Take a Brita filter to filter water for the kettle due to hard water and scale build up in kettle
