“Thank you for your feedback.”

The cottage is located on Sherborne Lane, a very old and picturesque street in the centre of the town. Much of Lyme is built on steep hills. Guests can normally stop at the bottom of the lane to unload/load before finding a space at the public carpark. We will arrange to take some up to date photos to show the steps and staircase. We do hope that you enjoyed exploring the local areas. The Lyme Bay Team

“This was our 3rd visit to Ivy cottage.”

We have always enjoyed our stays. The update to a smart TV has rectified the only minor issue we used to have.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Ivy cottage.”

The location was excellent, on a quiet street but very close to the shops, town mill and beach front. The house was cosy and had very comfortable beds. Our kids loved the xbox and toys/games, and we appreciated the various streaming services provided on the TV for after they had gone to bed! We plan to return to Lyme Regis next year and will book this cottage again.

“Listed as having a dishwasher but there was not one.”

Very misleading since we filtered properties on this as it was a must for our comfort. Curtains very thin and let in too much light. Lovely cottage though and enjoyed the little extras like xbox and boardgames.

“Nowhere in bedroom to plug hairdryer/ straighteners in near mirror.”

Loads of storage , but bit off putting as loads owners stuff in them. Cottage pretty, beds very comfortable . T.V, . Almost impossible to use, constantly breaks up and sound goes, unable to even get BBC 1. Very disappointing as was there on day of Queens Funeral. Be handy have coffee table in front of sofa. Access a nightmare for anyone with mobility issues. Struggled to pull a suitcase up and down hill while using a stick to. Please make clearer in your details nit possible to get car down lane in order ti drop passengers/ luggages off. unsuitable anyone with mobility issues. We also spent a fortune on parking . Felt somewhat trapped in cottage as not possible to be picked up outside cottage and struggled walking up and down the hill.

“One front door key and two garden keys was the only problem, should be the other way round”

“Top-notch location, and a really cosy downstairs with a nice sofa, plenty of space for us to have meals.”

Quaintly unsquare in pretty much all aspects! Upstairs a spacious main bedroom and a smaller kids' room (but still plenty of room) plus bathroom. No problem with parking in the Woodmead car park (£60 for a seven-day permit) though it was designed for 1980s-size cars so it's a bit tight! Pros: Great location (~5 min from beach), nice to have a little garden to sit in in the sun, cosy and quaint cottage, comfy beds. Cons: Curtains are very thin so rooms are *very* light in the morning; only winter duvets supplied (10.5 tog in 30C heat? No thanks!); shower attachment not brilliant so you have to hold the shower head if you don't want to sit on the taps; no dishwasher (listing wrong). But these are pretty minor cons.

“This is the second time we have stayed at the cottage.”

We love the cottage, it has a great homely feel. We also like the location, close to everything.

“Overall it was a great accommodation and stay.”

We did find however the bed in the master bedroom to be quite small. It would have been nicer if it had been bigger (e.g. queen size). For a stay longer than 3 days it could have been uncomfortable.

The property

Situated in one of the oldest and prettiest laneways in Lyme Regis, this period cottage provides an attractive and comfortable holiday home. The cottage retains many period features, including window seats and exposed beams. The age of the property does mean that some of the doorways have restricted height but the ceilings are not particularly low. Sherborne Lane is too narrow to allow through traffic and is therefore one of the quietest spots in the centre of town. A welcome pack for your arrival ensures a great start to your holiday and will include milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats. A pretty cottage garden at the rear provides a private area for enjoying a glass of wine or soaking up the early evening sunshine. This property is only a few minutes walk from the shops and seafront.
