Reviews of Hensleigh House describe a spotless, welcoming B&B near the beach, with friendly hosts, comfortable modern rooms, and consistently praised breakfasts, plus convenient on site parking, creating an easy base for visiting Charmouth and nearby Lyme Regis.
Guests frequently note quiet rooms and useful family layouts. Minor drawbacks include one comment about limited nearby dining options, a room lacking privacy and a fan during hot weather, and a wish for longer breakfast hours. A dependable choice for couples, families, and fossil hunters.

A very clean and quiet modern B&B, very near the beach in Charmouth. Also a convenient place to stay if you want to visit Lyme which is nearby. Excellent breakfasts with plenty of choice. Large car park. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.

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!!

What a lovely little find. This B&B, which is a 5min walk from Charmouth beach is really nice; and a great location for exploring the Dorset coast. The decor, the facilities, the breakfast, the comfort factor and the welcoming friendly staff, made this post Christmas getaway just what we needed. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Für ein B&B sehr geräumiges Zimmer (Nr. 1), sehr gutes Frühstück, Frühstückszeiten könnten etwas großzügiger gestalten werden ☺️, nach langen Wanderungen Vortags am SWCP möchte man vielleicht etwas länger schlafen. Insgesamt eines der besten B&B‘s die wir gebucht haben, sehr empfehlenswert. Und nahe zum SWCP gelegen.

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.
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!

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!

Lovely stay - beautiful property which was wonderfully clean. Very friendly staff and a lovely breakfast. Really suitable for a family with great room choice. Also great for walking to the beach, or a short drive to Lyme Regis.

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

It was lovely - close to the beach, clean and comfortable. The only issue was that there weren’t many places to eat within walking distance

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

Views of the hills of charmouth are always welcome. Comfortable, clean and a good hearty breakfast keeps you going for a days fossil hunting along the beach just 3 minutes away.

A very clean and quiet modern B&B, very near the beach in Charmouth. Also a convenient place to stay if you want to visit Lyme which is nearby. Excellent breakfasts with plenty of choice. Large car park. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Für ein B&B sehr geräumiges Zimmer (Nr. 1), sehr gutes Frühstück, Frühstückszeiten könnten etwas großzügiger gestalten werden ☺️, nach langen Wanderungen Vortags am SWCP möchte man vielleicht etwas länger schlafen. Insgesamt eines der besten B&B‘s die wir gebucht haben, sehr empfehlenswert. Und nahe zum SWCP gelegen.

The room was clean and neat, and this place is within walkable distance of the beach and a few shops/pubs. Staff were friendly and polite. My only concerns were that the bed was too hard for us and there didn't seem to be any air conditioning in our room. Otherwise, it was a great place to stay and we highly recommend it.

Lovely property, felt more homely than a hotel room and very close to the beach (almost level instead of all the way up a steep hill).
