“Too many personal ornaments down stairs for our taste.”

In a very small space, the kitchen surfaces would benefit from being cleared somewhat. Good location with parking facility. However, when all bays surrounding the designated one for the property were occupied it was extremely difficult to park due to restricted manoeuvring space.

“This cottage is perfectly situated to enjoy a holiday in Lyme Regis.”

Easy access to both beaches, Monmouth is dog friendly 24/7 which was fantastic for us as we have a small dog. Less than a mins walk to the beach and shops down the hill. Love having the patio to sit on and comfy sun loungers are provided. Lounge has comfy seating for 4 as does the dining area. The down stairs toilet/shower room is a bonus to reduce waiting times for showers in the morning. The kitchen is small so don’t plan on cooking big meals as it only accommodates one person at a time and not much work surface space. Has everything you need in a compact space. Dishwasher access is awkward as the front door doesn’t fully open due to space restrictions. Stairs are a little steep. The twin bedroom has a beautiful sea view and the beds were very comfortable, as was the double. Upstairs bath with overhead shower, the shower worked well and has decent power. I would love to see an update and modernisation of the interior. It’s very cottagey and lots of nik naks, dried flowers, blankets etc. I’d love it with a costal theme. Remove all nik naks and replace with a few chosen costal ornaments and update the pictures. That said, this wouldn’t stop me from staying again and is just personal preference. All in all I would recommend this property to friends and family, we have stayed twice ourselves now and would love to come back.

“This was a great cottage to stay in.”

Very clean and comfortable, well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect for exploring Lyme Regis and the local area. We did some lovely walks from the cottage. Really enjoyed the informative fossil walk lead by the museum. Lovely place to stay, would recommend it.

“Loved Windwhistles.”

It's a delightful charactful cottage and so convenient for the Cobb and beaches. It was perfect for us and dog friendly too. We would love to stay there again.

“This property was a gem of a find.”

Beautiful house, very cozy, just a stones throw from the beach. The property had everything you need . We are a family of 4, having 2 12 year olds. They also loved the house and it's perfect location . The parking space was a bonus Would highly recommend this place. Oh and the welcome gift was a real treat. Thanks.

“3rd time here nice and close to the beach I’m sure that hill gets steeper though”

Clare July 2025

“The location of this cottage was absolutely perfect for us - very close to the Cobb.”

My elderly Mum could manage to walk there and she loved the sea view from the front bedroom. Our dog was very safe with a gated garden, and the kitchen/utility room area had a lovely cool floor during the heatwave which was perfect. The allocated parking space was very close and beautifully organised and we were able to book an additional space for a second car when needed. Beds were really comfy, lovely teat to have both an upstairs bathroom and a downstairs shower room. Everything worked well and we wanted for nothing!

“Windwhistle is a lovely cottage, the only negative is the very narrow kitchen.”

It’s perfectly placed for the beach and the town, with a flat walk along the prom and sea to get to the shops. However Sykes Cottages are extremely difficult to contact if you need any assistance, which was very frustrating.

“Wind Whistle was exceptionally clean.”

The welcome gift was extremely generous and thoughtful thank you. The bed linen and beds were comfy and good quality bed linen. A beautiful view. Which I raced out every morning to look at. Wi fi was a bit sketchy but that was just my signal. Couldn't find the properties wi fi code so used my own. Kitchen is a bit challenging but not a problem. It was very well equipped out. Was very cold when we first arrived which did make me miserable. But my husband had to bleed the radiators then it was OK after that. The property is so close to everything which was a big bonus for us. The only Fault was the allocated parking space that came with the property.

“We returned to Windwhistle, a lovely, comfortable, cosy cottage on Cobb Terrace.”

The cottage is generously filled with pretty art and treasures, as well as having everything we needed, and we felt welcomed and 'at home'. It was great to have the parking space to return to after our trips to Beer, Bridport and Sidmouth. The cottage is perfectly situated on the hill about 100 yards from the Cobb, nestled amongst a few similar properties on a quiet terrace, with a pretty front garden overlooking the sea. The weather was glorious and the conservatory was hot. We enjoyed lots of dog walking to Uplyme along the river and lunchtime tapas at the Strawberry Tree, which is dog friendly at lunchtimes, as well as visiting most of the town pubs and shops. We look forward to our next stay in Lyme Regis at Windwhistle, if it's available.

“My sister and myself really enjoyed our stay.”

We loved the conservatory and the garden area. A real suntrap. The kitchen was compact but had everything we needed. My guide dog made herself at home. A pity the shops were not nearer but we were very bear a good doggy beach. I would like to return to Windwhistle.

“I can’t really fault it.”

This is the second time we have stayed at Windwhistle, and we love it. The sea view from the twin room is lovely and you can watch the sunrise every morning from there. The cottage has all the facilities you need, and was warm , cosy and very clean. Our dog settled in really quickly and it was lovely to have a secure little garden for him to stretch his legs. I am sure we will be returning.

Jane February 2024

“Comfortable, cosy, quiet, well planned and well equipped cottage in good location, just up the hill from the Cobb and down the hill from Hix restaurant.”

Useful porch to leave wet coats, muddy shoes and wipe down the dog. The information folder in the property could be updated, with clear emergency contact details added. Our stay was let down by zero cleaning prior to our visit - very dirty bathrooms and no double bed made up. Arriving after 4pm on Friday didn't leave us time to find or get help, meaning I had to clean. Sykes were helpful on WhatsApp the next day, and followed up with a phone call, contacting the owner who compensated us. We would still recommend the cottage as long as the cleaning was in place!

Stephen October 2023

“Spotlessly clean, a charming cottage.”

The kitchen to be fair is quite challenging but is fully equipped. The twin bedded room has the fantastic view of the Cobb and gets the sunrise in the morning whereas the master bedroom has neither. Cosy and welcoming in a great location and very easy to feel at home in. We would return.

“The only problem was downstairs shower room basin plug wouldn’t hold water.”

No instructions for electric hob worked it out in the end
