    “Beautiful Location, Great Walks We really enjoyed our week at Lynch Cottage and would echo what everybody else has said about the beauty of the cottage and gardens, and the seclusion of the location.”

    It was very hot part of the time we were there but, like a lot of Victorian houses, the cottage was very cool. The great bonus for us was that just a stone's throw from the house there is a footpath that goes down to the Undercliff and the SW Coast Path. You can walk into Lyme Regis or Axmouth, or take the Pinhay Permissive Path - a 2.5-mile circular walk that branches off the Coast Path up to Pinhay and comes out just down the path from the house. A note of caution though for those who prefer ...

A note of caution though for those who prefer a gentler ramble - there is no walk from the house that does not involve a steep gradient.

About the location

LYME REGIS

Charmouth 3 miles; Axminster 6 miles; Bridport 10 miles; Sidmouth 16 miles.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

Note: If you wish any of the twins to be made up as king-size please let us know at the time of booking.
Note: There is a sloping pathway with handrail giving access to the property but there are two steps into the front door so please bear this in mind when booking.  There is a ground floor bedroom, however we do not recommend this property for those with mobility issues. 
Note: An initial supply of logs is included in the rent
