Description

Myrtle Cottage is a delightful two-bedroom stone cottage situated in the village of Uplyme, a delightful rural setting on the borders of Devon and Dorset. An AONB, the village offers families the perfect location to enjoy the countryside with popular beaches, seaside towns, and the dramatic UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast close by. With off-road parking, and sleeping up to four guests, this 200-year-old cottage is bursting with character and is ideal for those wishing to enjoy a relaxing break at any time of the year.

Originally part of the village forge, the cottage has been sympathetically extended over the years and is now a bright and welcoming cottage with a stylish interior and thoughtful touches throughout. The sitting area is an inviting and relaxing space, with the original inglenook fireplace with an electric wood burner and bread oven giving a wonderful focal point in the room. While the electric fan woodburning stove provides comfort and warmth for the cooler evenings. The adjoining kitchen/diner is equipped with everything needed for a self-catered holiday and is a great space for creating meals that everyone can enjoy together around the dining table. Bifold doors at the rear of the cottage lead to the decked terrace, providing the perfect spot for your morning cup of coffee, while enjoying views over Uplyme, the church, and the rolling Devon countryside and beyond. Steps lead down to the enclosed garden which is a little haven to sit back and relax with a book, with patio seating areas with tables and chairs, inviting alfresco dining when the weather allows.

When it is time for bed, head upstairs to find the two bedrooms; a king-size bedroom and a twin, with the family bathroom also on this floor. A second bathroom, a stylish shower room, is located on the ground floor.

The vibrant village of Uplyme is a wonderful location with a popular village pub, The Talbot Arms, which serves great home-cooked food and local beverages. Additionally, there is a small convenience store, with a post office and petrol station, for your everyday essentials only a short stroll away. You also have other local amenities, such as a tennis court, a children's play area, as well as a cricket club. A delightful and picturesque riverside walk from Uplyme takes you into Lyme Regis, a spectacular seaside town with its family-friendly beaches, famous Cobb Harbour, and other popular visitor attractions, including the Marine Aquarium. A regular local bus service also runs to and from Lyme Regis. Popular days out include; the Heritage Coast Centre at Charmouth, a place to learn about the area's diverse geological history and pick up tips about fossil hunting on the shores. The pretty fishing village of Beer is another great choice, with its limestone cliffs and beach, where it is easy to lose a few hours sitting in a deckchair watching the local fishermen hauling their catches ashore.

Myrtle Cottage is the ideal place to enjoy it all, however you choose to spend your stay.

We enjoyed our stay at Myrtle Cottage.

It is very well placed for exploring Lyme Regis and the local area. On arrival we were greeted with a wonderful welcome pack and a very clean and tidy cottage with great facilities. A real home from home. Showers were great and beds comfy. We would definitely choose to stay again if visiting the area.

Great place - we would return.

Whilst we were very happy indeed, we did leave a note pointing out that most of the knives needed sharpening!

A very small criticism indeed!
