Very interesting visitor centre , free entry too. Good fossil exhibits intersting for younger visitors.

November 2023

Superb. Staff friendly and informative. Ideal for kids.

October 2023

I have been visiting Charmouth of and on all my 60 years on this earth and it is so sad that the visitor centre actually encourages the destruction of the beautiful stones and rock pools on the beach. We need a more look but don't take home approach to the natural world. Soon there will be nothing left.

September 2023

Bit of a nightmare...crowded with small children and stressed parents.

August 2023

Visit this is you are into fossils and geology. Lots to read and view. The staff are very helpful. We recommend you speak with them about a guided tour for fossil hunting as they can show you where and how to find things.

June 2022

A very interesting place, full of amazing information with knowledgeable staff.

May 2022

Wonderful! Only a small venue, but really impressive displays, most showing very large fossils found within the past 5 years in Lyme Bay- it seems to have had a refurb since Covid closures- would definitely recommend a visit

March 2022

Really interesting place- fascinating and well worth a visit. Great selection of gifts on sale and friendly, helpful staff.

June 2021

Brilliant! No admission fee, just a donation requested. Lots to see and read about local beaches, amazing fossils on show with accompanying info. Staff very friendly and informative.

February 2020

Brilliant, outwardly modest museum/display/centre. We were fascinated and impressed. Excellent local gem.

September 2019

Amazing really enjoyed our visit!

May 2019

Excellent for all fossil hunters out there. Really helpful especially the chance to go on the fossil hunting walk with an expert,great for small and big kids alike. We weren’t lucky at finding any but the choice they had in the shop was brilliant and reasonably priced.

February 2019

Such a brilliant place and the volunteers there are so helpful and great with children. I'd recommend going on one of the fossil walks but book in advance as it gets busy.

October 2018

Wonderful insight to the discoveries on the Jurassic coast and all free! Catering for all ages with interactive displays. A must do visit.

July 2018

Very pretty courtyard now developed into unique shops and cafe, serving fresh and delicious food. Just go slowly along the pot-holed driveway!

October 2023

So good went back twice. Pub also very dog friendly.

September 2023

A lovely place to visit, nice boutiques and little shops. Well worth a visit.

April 2023

This is a lovely spot to stop for a bite and a drink with free parking. There is an excellent selection of local produce on sale plus homeware and fashion. You can ascend Colmers Hill nearby which is a wonderful vantage point for this beautiful area.

October 2021

Friendly pub with good beer and reasonably priced food

June 2023

Lovely pub, lovely food & drink. Looked after so well by the staff impeccable manners nothing was too much for them and welcomed our cockerpoo Molly and gave her biscuits. Met some of the locals who had a darts match on and they were so friendly. Came here the year before and had a lovely time then too. You really must visit during your stay no matter how short

May 2023

This is a more basis pub, with what we would call good pub food. Friendly staff.

August 2022

Very pleasant lunch here. Pub very dog friendly and food was quick and good value. I had the lighter lunch option which was still very generous.

May 2022

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The pub was clean and COVID-19 safe. The food was delicious and good value.

July 2021

Friendly spacious pub with welcoming staff, serving good pub grub / home cooked food. Dogs welcome too.

October 2018

Fantastic food and service even cooked a special for us on request highly recommend this pub well worth a visit

November 2017

Good food and comfortable pub

October 2017

A very friendly pub with good value food

September 2017

Great choice of pub grub, Dog friendly and staff are helpful and pleasant . Do the pub quiz on Sunday it is good fun.

April 2017

the standard of customer care in this pub was brilliant was made to feel very welcome in this place and the addition of being able to sit outside and still under cover was great. Food and drink were good. Even the meal that my dog had she loved and was great to have her included in the family meal with her own menu :-) we will be back to this pub

September 2023

We got there early the carvery, it was busy but there is a fair size beer garden. The roast was great and plenty to eat, its meat, no veg option so be wary. The beef was exceptionally good. The staff were friendly and made you aware there were puddings, which we enjoyed. Get early and bag a table.

June 2022

Excellent menu and most welcoming. Lunch and dinner available but garden now closed due to pandemic. Very welcoming and friendly

October 2020

A good pub for families and groups with children as there is a play area and large garden. However there are a lot of places nearby that do better food if that's what you are looking for.

September 2019

Excellent value for money with a varied menu of traditional pub grub. Went twice during our holiday, Highly recommended.

August 2018

Excellent fish, chips and row!

September 2021

Close to the Toll House best fish and chips in a long time

September 2021

We are dealing with a pandemic, so allowances do need to be made. But the level of service was so slow and unorganised, and that is compared to other establishments at the same time who were making a much better job of it. Its a fish and chip shop at the end of the day, you don't expect hour long waits for food. Plan way ahead. The fish was great, but they got some of the order wrong.

June 2021

Excellent takeaway

May 2021

Good takeaway food. Wide variety available. Better to book in advance during pandemic.

October 2020

A very popular place and satisfactory pizzas. Fish and chips is the better dish however.

September 2019

Excellent food, fabulous service, lovely dog friendly restaurant.

January 2019

This place really knows how to fry good fish and chips! There was a wide range of different white fish to choose from in addition to the usual cod, plaice and haddock. You can taste the quality. The young team of staff were friendly and efficient and service was excellent. Went back the following night to sample the pizzas on offer again faultless. An absolute winner!

August 2018

We found the take away food overpriced for what you got. The food was tasty though.

August 2018

Fantastic fish and chips with great service.

August 2018

Excellent fish and chips, good service.

October 2017

We had haddock and plaice which were delicious and the portion sizes were huge. Definitely recommend eating here or getting a takeaway.

October 2017

Freshly cooked to perfection. Can be very busy with queues for the take away .

July 2017

We enjoyed a lovely lunch. Well cooked fresh fish dishes. Very busy!

July 2023

A warm welcome, lovely staff and excellent food. Sunday lunch was wonderful!

May 2023

Very good meal and great beer

April 2023

We got there early for the Sunday roast and it was busy and a bit of a bun fight to find a table. Someone queued jumped and (selfishly) took up several seats with their dogs sitting at a table whilst some young families had nowhere to sit. There is a fair size beer garden. The roast was great and plenty to eat, its meat, no veg option so be wary. We got given a bit of each of the roasts; turkey and beef. The beef was exceptional. The staff were friendly and made you aware there were puddings, which we enjoyed. Get early and bag a table.

June 2022

What a lovely, friendly place this is! The food is excellent and so is the service. Jason and Chloe are very welcoming and we ate here twice during our stay.

May 2022

Excellent local - food very fresh. Friendly and welcoming staff.

July 2021

Loved our visit to the Royal Oak. Covid times meant we were outside. The staff were very pleasant. If you get a chance to visit, a pint of Dorset Pride (lager) is well worth a try.

May 2021

Now closed.

October 2020

Good menu, great quality food and catered well for children. Well priced and friendly service.

May 2019

Not very friendly " Mine Host we booked a table for three for Sunday Lunch as pub says dog friendly,but on arrival were told we cannot have our reserved table because I did not mention our small Border terrier dog,at time of booking. There was no alternative table offered,but two gentlemen sitting in the bar area got up and offered us there very tiny table. Again very little bon ami from the Landlord. And add to this a not very memorable Sunday Lunch,but I suppose as holiday incomers we were not going to be seen again,but our money was very welcome.Needless to say even if We lived next door to the Royal Oak The street Charmouth,I would not set foot in the door again.This is not sour grapes but a true example of a Public House to bypass and go further afield. date of visit 03 September 2017 3 Adults and a Border terrier. Stars minus 10 awarded

September 2017

Great 'old fashioned' pub. Good food with enormous portions.

September 2017

Good for Sunday lunches and Thursday "Pizza Night". Good range of Palmers beers.

June 2023

Lovely pub, staff friendly lovely beach and good food.

June 2023

We were the only customers, and not surprising as it was outrageously expensive to eat......for a very average rather scruffy pub. The food may have been good but we didnt try it.

April 2023

The George Inn is a very lovely place to eat and spend time. The food is excellent, and the staff were so friendly. It was a pleasure to be there.

August 2022

We had a fantastic meal one evening turning up without a booking with our dog. Pub staff really friendly and service was excellent. Costs were very reasonable.

May 2022

Lovely atmosphere staff very friendly, great for just a cosy drink or a meal. We ate here twice, due to covid it was a reduced menu which is fine but would have been good if it changed now & again.

October 2020

We visited the George twice for meals and thoroughly enjoyed them. The staff were polite and well organized under the present circumstances and the food and beer were both excellent. Will visit again in the future.

September 2020

Good pub good and local ales. Dog friendly

September 2019

Good food,beers and atmosphere. Dog friendly

October 2018

Charmouth Beach is just wonderful, lovely walks with no cars or road noise. Heaven!

April 2024

Walking this beach from Lyme Regis

October 2023

Great beach, Its busy by the shops but plenty of places to walk to find space away from others. The toilets are bad, so with a few wipes and wash you hands after. Get there early for parking. It is sand, shingle and rock pools, so great for a non commercialised beach day. Follow the tide out if you are fossil hunting but best to have a guided tour first from the museum so you know what you are looking for. One of our favourite sea sides in Britain.

June 2022

This is a beautiful area. Gets very busy and there are about four car parks and on street parking. The museum was very fascinating. Toilet queue was horrendous. This is a great area for inflatables as you can go down the stream if you want instead of the sea. There is also a large grass bank to picnic on instead of the beach cobbles.

August 2021

Great beach if but a bit stony where we went, good facilities for food and drinks and no where near as many seagulls as Lyme Regis.

August 2021

Lovely quaint beach.

May 2019

Lovely spot to sit, relax and look for fossils.

October 2018

Plenty of parking with a moderate walk down many steps to the beach. Worth the walk though with plenty of fossils around if your prepared to look.

September 2023

Lovely beach but spoilt by the amount of broken bits of glass and rusty metal components that have fallen from the cliff (believe there was some form of rubbish dump at the top of the cliff many years ago) - not a problem for most people but was worried about our dog getting injured.

May 2023

A lovely stretch of beach with rock pools and a chance to find fossils. Get there as the tide is going out and get there early. Take provisions as it is just a beach, of shingle and sand, there are some rocks to clamber over and rock pools to explore. One of our favourite beaches in the UK.

June 2022

Nice clean beach with plenty of clean WCs and cafes. The sandy bit at the harbour is good for dogs to run around (out of season) and kids to dig in.

April 2024

Nice beach but very busy and did not like the swooping seagulls!

August 2023

Wonderful location and so much to do, we didn't use our car once for a week, unheard of!! The parking in the town not good but for a town of that age, it was adequate and the other car parks further out were very good.

May 2022

Booked a beach hut from Town Council! Great fun and provided welcome shade on v hot day! Appreciated the two chairs provided but would have liked a small table for food / coffee

September 2021

Great beach on the sandy side was really busy and made use of the boat hire on the beach which was great fun, seagulls are a real issue when it comes to food and we ate ours in our tent after my daughter lost a sandwich to one right out of her mouth.

August 2021

We loved the seafront and that in October it was full of people. We liked the beach bit, seeing families enjoying the sand, and it was great to see open loos, nice ice-cream and lots of different places to eat and drink.

October 2020

We had a lovely dog walk along the beach, very pleasant.

September 2018

A lovely family friendly beach. Pebbled at one end and sandy at the other. Plenty of eateries and ice cream places. A good place for fossil hunting.

August 2018

Excellent area and beach although extremely busy if the sun makes an appearance. I go to Lyme Regis whilst dogs are allowed on the beach (I do use it with my dog) and would like to see more policing re dogs off leads.

April 2017

Narrow access. Park at the top for free and walk down to the church and carry on down via a path.

September 2023

Very narrow single track access road with limited passing places. Would not recommend purely due to access difficulties.

June 2017

Love the stroll along the Cobb beach and area so clean plenty of places to eat and drink. The locals are so warm and welcoming, can’t beat Lyme regis

November 2021

Perfect sandy beach for everyone. Loved the Marine Parade with food and drink and ice creams.

October 2021

excellent, safe beach

September 2021

Always raked and cleaned. Pretty safe, excellent lifeguards. Restaurants and cafes need to be open later. Toilets very clean but not enough of them so long queues. Watch out for seagulls stealing food from your hands!

August 2021

Lovely harbour and great places to grab a bite to eat. But it is extremely busy. Every inch of the small patch of sand by the cobb was taken up but beach shelters, feet deck chairs etc. If your kids are not fussed about sand avoid the area if you want quite and relaxing. The other side of the cobb is quite and so are the toilets (which are clean)

August 2021

We walked here from Seaton along the muddy coastal path and Lyme Regis is lovely . We took a boat out from the cob .

July 2021

The cob was lovely to walk on and all you needed was near by

September 2020

Lovely to see this in sunshine for the first time in several visits. Worth going early to see it uncrowded.
