“The sound of the sea is always with you here and I just love that.”

The shops are a couple of minutes one way and the cobb the same the other. The cottage itself is well appointed generally although a smart TV would be a nice addition The proof of the pudding etc and we have booked this a few times now- enjoy!

“It was a pleasure to stay in Harville Cottage.”

It had all we needed for our stay and what a stay we had. What a view to wake up to and to be able to walk out the door onto the seafront. My son even played the sound of the sea on our first night back home. It was certainly a memorable family experience. I think most of us would agree we’d love to come back

“We loved our stay at Harville Cottage.”

It's the perfect location for a seaside break - right on the beach and within minutes of shops, restaurants and bars. Comfortable and well stocked, with a lovely welcome hamper of local (and very tasty) food, the house is perfect for a family of four. Thank you.

“We love this cottage.”

This is the second time we returned to this property. Slightly disappointed not to see a nespresso machine as suggested in my review last year. The cottage is very comfortable and almost everything is branded with John Lewis. The kitchen is well equipped. The location is idea, right by the beach and very central to quite a few eateries. Highly recommended.

- Lucy, May 2023

We're so pleased that you chose to return to the cottage for another holiday. All of our properties do provide a cafetirere to make fresh coffee. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Easily the best holiday cottage we have taken in the UK ever!”

Location location location and lovely, homely facilities with everything you could ever need provided. The welcome pack was super - thank you. One very minor issue - the front door lock was temperamental and needed a good bit of wiggling the key to open door from outside!

- Hilary, April 2023

Thank you for making such kind comments about Harville Cottage. We will ask our Maintenance Team to take a look at the front door lock. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Janet April 2023

“Cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed.”

It was lovely seeing and hearing the sea so close. We are looking forward to coming back

“We’ve had the best time at Harville, just loved the sound of the sea being so close.”

We cooked lovely meals & had a relaxing few days with our friends x

- Clare, March 2023

Thank you for such lovely feedback, a joy to hear you enjoyed yourselves. Please come again. Property Owner
Keith March 2023

“The cottage is in an amazing location, right on the beachfront, so there are wonderful sea views, and lots of seaside activity to watch!”

Plus, there is the constant soothing background sound of the waves. The cottage has been very thoughtfully furnished and equipped, and helpful notes have been provided on practicalities.

- Keith, March 2023

What a lovely review, hearing the waves in the background is just the best! Thank you for staying at Harville. Property Owner
Helen December 2022

“Lovely cosy cottage with fabulous views to the sea and The Cobb.”

The welcome pack provided on our arrival was much appreciated. The cottage is very well equipped and provides a parking permit for one of the local car parks which is very handy. There are also two EV chargers in the car park which was great for us having an electric car. Staying in the winter meant we were able to watch the rough seas from the comfort of the lounge and lying in bed listening to the waves at night was very relaxing. Lots of good eating places within walking distance of the cottage. Would highly recommend staying at Harville Cottage to others.

“Really enjoyed our 4 day stay in December 2022.”

Thank you.

Charlotte November 2022

“The property needs a bit of tlc, the windows were constantly letting water through in the strong rain no wind!”

Which lead to the property being quite cold! Other then that we would stay again

- Charlotte, November 2022
Ashley November 2022

“We absolutely loved this cottage, the only negative was the heating.”

We had to switch the radiators off, particularly the one in the entrance hall it was overwhelmingly hot. Other than that the cottage was stunning

Lindsay September 2022

“Harville Cottage was the perfect place to celebrate my parents' 65th wedding anniversary.”

They loved sitting outside on the folding chairs provided and chatting to all the friendly passers-by (someone said 'you've got the best spot in Lyme Regis!') It was well-equipped and comfortably furnished and the view from the sitting room bay window was amazing. We loved it too as we could pop across to the beach for a swim whenever we liked, and it was so easy to get to pubs and restaurants along the sea front. Having the car park permit was very handy too. We would definitely stay here again!

- Lindsay, September 2022

“This cottage is the third one we have been in in Lyme Regis in as many years, and we lucked out with this one and it’s a keeper.”

It’s charming and comfortable. Amazing sea view. If we had wanted to cook, everything was there in terms of equipment. It’s almost home away from home except for a Nespresso machine! The Yale door lock is a bit tricky to open. It needs patience and wiggling! I would also feel safer if there was another bolt lock at the bottom of the door on the inside. We’ll be back here annually! In fact we already booked for a week for May next year.

- Lucy, June 2022
Esyllt May 2022

“Such a delight to stay in this lovely cottage a step away from the sea.”

The only minor point was that the correct bin bags were not left for rubbish collection, but when I rang the bags were left that day for us. Also as there were two of us staying who did different things during the day it would have been helpful to have 2 keys instead of one. Thank you Esyllt
