We absolutely loved our stay at Hensleigh House! The staff was amazing as were the breakfasts we enjoyed each morning. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. We would highly recommend booking there due to the great location and outstanding bed and breakfast. Five stars aren't enough!

The best-kept secret in Charmouth?

It tells you something that I was waiting in anticipation for the Hotels.com email just so I could get online and give Hensleigh House the five star rating it absolutely deserves. From the moment we were greeted at the door until the time we waved goodbye, our stay was first class. The building itself is beautiful with plentiful carparking out front which made access easy if needed. Inside, the bedrooms and ensuites were immaculate. Comfortable beds, windows you can actually open to let in fresh air, and decor some of the country's top hotels would do well to take tips from. Attention to detail was such that even the box of tissues on the bedside table carried the bird motif theme of the bedroom wallpaper. Downstairs, the shared lounge invites you in with its twinkling red lights and sofa you can sink into, and the bright breakfast room with it's big windows was a joy to come down to in the morning, if the smell of breakfast being cooked up wasn't enough on its own 🙂 Everything at Hensleigh House has the personal touch and the hosts were welcoming and friendly and made you feel that they were genuinely happy to have you there. I honestly cannot fault it and we will absolutely be going back again. In fact - I'm quite loathe to write such a glowing review in case it gets booked out!!

Lovely quiet B&B with on-site parking. Short drive to nearby attractions or walk to beach. Quiet and comfortable rooms, recently decorated and totally unmarked, almost as if we were the first to use the room. Excellent breakfast and lovely friendly staff. Would definitely use again

Definitely a 5* review, we would definitely stay again. We had a family room so the children had their own bedroom. It was one of the cleanest places we’ve ever stayed in, immaculate! The breakfast options were fantastic and the staff were all so friendly. We immediately felt relaxed. Locationwise it was a short stroll to the beach or up the hill to the lovely Royal Oak pub. We also had a tasty lunch at the local Bank Cafe. Very short journey over to Lyme. Quiet in the evenings. Perfect location for us.

We were welcomed by Jayne who runs Hensleigh house along with her husband Warren who are absolutely lovely. The rooms are modern, very clean, comfy beds and equipped with everything you need, very quiet too. Great breakfast cooked by Jayne and her husband Warren, the staff were very helpful and efficient. Walking distance from the beach and the local shops. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning. The Walters Family
