“The house is very well equipped, spacious and comfortable.”

The steps were no problem for us, but could be difficult for people with mobility issues. We enjoyed the pleasant walk to Lyme along the river, although it is quite steep on the return. The reason for the lower score is the difficulty we experienced when we unfortunately locked ourselves out on a Sunday.

The steps were no problem for us, but could be difficult for people with mobility issues. We enjoyed the pleasant walk to Lyme along the river, although it is quite steep on the return. The reason for the lower score is the difficulty we experienced when we unfortunately locked ourselves out on a Sunday. We tried the helpline numbers; the first advised us to contact another number, and we received a text saying we would hear back in 20 minutes. No reply came, so we went to the nearby office and found an out‑of‑hours mobile number on the door. This led us to a very helpful person who travelled to Lyme to collect spare keys and place them in the key safe for us. It would be helpful if this out‑of‑hours number were included in the property information, and if a second set of keys could be provided in the key safe.

“The property was so spacious and comfortable.”

We self cater a lot and the kitchen diner had everything we needed.comfy bedrooms and beds. We walked into Lyme along the river every day and it was charming! We went in November, but the heating was excellent and could be used generously. Altogether a really good experience!

“That view! Wonderful property as described.”

Loved the welcome bag thank you. Would have liked some kitchen towel and foil to wrap leftovers but otherwise had everything we needed and could have wanted.

“The quality of the property and furnishings was exemplary.”

Plenty of space for my group of 6 adults, and the kitchen was a cooks dream, large hob, 2 x ovens and plenty of utensils. On our second day we found the automatic plug on the bath was broken and couldn't be removed to empty the water. We managed to lift the plug which then discharged the water downstairs and through the lights and switches. This highlighted that the leak was recent and the cleaning was done dry or not all in the bathroom. Additionally both emergency telephone numbers went to the same set of options;none of which were relevant or indeed answered when chosen and I eventually managed to speak to a person by selecting the option to become a holiday owner! The on call maintenance team were quick to arrive once the leak was noted and the bathroom was isolated for the remainder of our day.

“Fantastic property, all mod.”

cons. Spacious, Very clean and tidy. Light and airy. Views over town towards Black Ven and Golden Cap, stunning. Grand kids loved trying to spot all the dinosaurs. Highly recommended for family holiday. Would love to use again. Only drawback...steep uphill for us old ones

- Thomas, July 2025
Simon July 2025

“Excellent property facilities, information, and location with at least two parking spaces.”

Beds really comfortable with the exception of the two single beds which were uncomfortable and ridged - these need replacing or a thick mattress topper on them. Spacious house in an elevated position. We really enjoyed our stay and a nice welcome pack.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated the lovely view, the spacious layout, and the well-stocked kitchen.”

The property provided a comfortable base for exploring Lyme Regis, and we were grateful for the thoughtfulness evident in many of the amenities. We hope the following comments will be helpful for future improvements: -

“Delightful house but being 75 years old the steps up to the property were difficult.”

We also assumed that being unable to walk the hill down to the town, and certainly not the steep ascent back, we would be able to use a local taxi service rather than having to drive and thus unable to enjoy a drink or two. The taxi card on the board in the kitchen is years out of date and the local firms have insufficient drivers and not really prepared to take on short journeys. We were unable to get a cab down to town on our first night and waited over two hours to be able to book a return. After much consideration, and being unprepared to run the risk of being stranded we decided to come home after one night.

“This house is in a wonderful location, with sea views and a very pretty fifteen minute walk downhill to the sea, following the path to the right alongside the river, past pretty cottages, the water mill and the micro brewery.”

A call in the latter on the return route was well placed and certainly helped with the climb back up the hill! The patio at the front is a lovely location for breakfast and coffee. Back patio opening off the kitchen french doors is very handy and the gardens beyond are well planted and pretty. The roses in May were glorious. A word of warning is that this property is at the top of a very steep hill, with a climb up steep steps from the drive to the front door, so is only suitable for fit individuals! Inside, the property is spacious and well kitted out, with everything a family might need - books, games, piano, tv, films, hair dryer, cutlery, crockery, pans and oven ware, to name but a few! There was spare bed linen, plenty of hangers, wardrobe and drawer space. The welcome pack was most welcome too and contained lovely local items useful on arrival including tea, coffee etc. Thank you very much for an enjoyable week at Jurassic Sea View. My family and I fell in love with Lyme Regis!

“Very clean and well equipped.”

Fantastic views and only 20 mins walk from town Secure garden for our 2 dogs was great.

- Joyce, May 2025
Roy April 2025

“Not wheelchair friendly.”

Lots of secure space in the back garden for little ones and pets. Home from home. We did walk into and out of town a couple of times but it is on a hill if you have mobility issues. Quiet cul-de-sac so we enjoyed our stay. Lovely walk by the river into town and to the mill area where the Lyme Bay Microbrewery pub might just cause a delay in your progress!

“Lovely property.”

Clean, spacious and very comfortable.

Miriam April 2024

“We had a lovely family holiday here.”

The living accommodation here was great and practical for our multi generational situation including 2 toddlers and one person with a relatively recent unexpected hip replacement. (If we’d known when I booked that I would have had a fall we wouldn’t have chosen somewhere with so many steps!). All the family loved Lyme Regis and the walk into the town down the hill and along the riverside. The Town Mill and the micro brewery were a great find as was the town with the level walk along the the promenade and the walk along the cob The provision of stair gates for the top and bottom of the stairs would be a welcome addition to the facilities We decided not to bring our dog with us in the end which we decided was a good move as although only a cockatoo she enjoys a good run around in the garden

“The position of the property was ideal to be able to park your car on the drive, leave it there and walk into Lyme Regis.”

The hills are a little steep coming back but nothing too difficult, especially for the able bodied. The house is lovely and spacious and has everything you need. The welcome hamper was a really nice touch and full of lots of goodies. The views are wonderful from the lounge and smaller double bedroom - lovely to sit in bed and watch the sunrises over the sea. Also from the front, enclosed patio. The only slight negative for us was, we found the garden a little disappointing - it's really only a patio not a tiered garden. Also, the curtains (window and shower) in the bathroom could do with changing as one was mouldy and the other didn't fit the window fully. All in all we had a lovely week here and would definitely come back again. As a little side note for future guests - if anyone struggles with the main steps up to the front door the steps behind the garage are far easier to use (not so steep).

- Helen, September 2023

Thank you for your kind comments. We will take a look at the curtains. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Beautiful property with all the amenities.”

5 mins drive to beach.

Malcolm August 2023

“This property has the most stunning view, it's breathtaking, and magical.”

The garden isn't very usable, due to being on a steep hill, but it's also really stunning to look at, and our dog loved exploring. We found the house extremely large, the piano and games room were my boys favourites. However, the house is a little cluttered, the bed linen and towels need an upgrade in quality, and the extremely steep steps upto the property would be an issue for most people. This is definitely a home from home, it just needs a touch of modernising.

Sally June 2023

“The property was perfect for our family holiday.”

Our 3 year old grandchild loved all the dinosaurs in the garden, and there were plenty of toys in the study, to keep him amused at the start/end of the day. A good selection of games available too. Our only issue, which is probably out of the owners hands, was the lack of recycling facilities. We ended up bringing our bottles home, as it felt criminal to put them in with the general rubbish. We struggled to find a bottle bank in Lyme Regis & didn't want to spend our holiday driving around trying to find one. That aside, we had a fantastic week

- Sally, June 2023

Thank you for such lovely feedback. The owners take great pride and care of the property so that guests can have the best holiday experience. The property is on a commercial waste collection scheme, and although all rubbish goes into the one bin, it is sorted at the depot and recycled accordingly. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Excellent property , spacious , clean and well maintained .”

The location from the town was just right - a few killer hills but kept us fit!

- Michael, September 2022
Annette August 2022

“We had a great week at this substantial comfortable home.”

Lots of space inside and out with lovely views of Lyme Bay. It’s a beautiful 15 minute walk in to Lyme but the walk back is steeply uphill some of the way and is not for the faint hearted. Lyme itself is a pretty town with lots of independent shops. The sea swimming is particularly good. I’ll be back again soon.

- Annette, August 2022
Joanna August 2022

“Great holiday home in Lyme Regis.”

Lots of space. Stairs to access the property are steep and not really explained on the listing.

- Joanna, August 2022
Hannah August 2022

“We’ve just got back from a fantastic week in Lyme.”

The weather was incredible and as always, carnival week never disappoints. It’s been five years since our last stay at St. George’s hill and despite having been a great base for the week, unfortunately the property did appear to have been slightly neglected since our previous stay with dated/worn decor and furnishings. Both the rear garden and the greenery up the entrance steps were very overgrown. The steps in particular were tricky to climb especially with luggage or beach bags etc as the access was limited by the growth. The rear garden felt very overgrown with even climbing plants growing through an upstairs window. Our only other issue was the state of the beds and the mattresses. The one in particular in the family room, the queen bed mattress was unusable due to being so hard (was an orthopaedic mattress). Our son ended up sleeping on the sofa due to this. Apart from these two issues are stay was thoroughly enjoyed, the lounge in particular works well as a family room with stunning views and lots of space. Cleanliness could be improved by removing all the fake flowers which were covered in dust and cobwebs.

- Hannah, August 2022

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay although we were sorry that your holiday wasn’t as enjoyable as we would hope. We always update the decoration every year and the property was again assessed to sit very high in the 4 star rating, again with the Gold accolade, in March of this year. The assessor also commented that all the beds have high quality mattresses, although we accept that everyone has different views on what is deemed to be conducive to a good night’s sleep. The garden is not a formal garden but regularly attended to by our gardener who keeps things in good order for us. It was disappointing to read that the shrubs have gotten a little overgrown, but this will be addressed. We are pleased that you had an enjoyable stay overall. Lyme is such a delightful place and the weather has been very kind to visitors staying here this summer. Property Owner

It was a lovely house We had a fantastic stay with the family Well equipped and very spacious Very steep steps to house and a very step up walk to beach

Nicola July 2022

“One of the best properties we have stayed in, with everything we needed and plenty of space.”

The welcome pack was a lovely touch and it was very helpful to include milk. The view over the bay from the terrace and one of the bedrooms was good and we enjoyed the walk into Lyme beside the River Lim. The only thing that let it down was the complete lack of recycling at the property. Apart from the provision of a compost bin by the owners, EVERYTHING goes into the bin.

Chris July 2022

“Very well equipped comfortable house.”

Only entries to house are by very steep steps. Listing should state it is not suitable for disabled. One of our party has difficulty walking and found it difficult.
