The property
Mayflower Cottage is a distinctive four‑bedroom holiday home set in the heart of Lyme Regis, Dorset, carefully remodelled to create an individual and spacious coastal retreat only a few minutes walk from the seafront and beach. Arranged over several levels, the property combines high‑quality finishes with versatile living areas, making it well-suited to family gatherings or groups of friends seeking a central yet tucked‑away base by the sea. Sherborne Lane itself is a pedestrian, traffic‑free route with Saxon origins, offering a strong sense of history just moments from the lively centre of town.
Set discreetly behind double wooden gates, the entrance opens into a welcoming ground‑floor sitting room, providing a relaxed space to settle in after days spent exploring the coastline. From here, stairs rise to a cinema room and second lounge, offering a dedicated area for film nights or quieter evenings away from the main living spaces. This level also includes a well‑equipped utility room with a washing machine along with a contemporary shower room finished with feature lighting, a walk‑in shower, basin, and WC. A newly completed double bedroom is also located on this floor, finished to a high standard and served by a smart en‑suite shower room with marble tiling, making it a practical option for guests seeking ground‑floor accommodation. Steps lead down from the sitting room to the impressive lower‑ground‑floor kitchen, where bi‑fold doors open directly onto the garden. Designed with sociable stays in mind, this space is ideal for cooking, dining, and spending time together, with a generous dining area at its centre. Limestone flooring with underfloor heating ensures year‑round use, while a range cooker, wine fridge, and carefully chosen fittings combine practicality with thoughtful design. The layout allows easy movement between indoor and outdoor spaces, particularly during warmer months.
The first floor is home to the spacious main bedroom, featuring a kingsize bed and a stylish en‑suite shower room. Two further bedrooms complete the accommodation: a double bedroom and a bunk room, the latter particularly suitable for children. Outside, Mayflower Cottage enjoys a generous south‑facing garden, mainly laid to lawn, with several seating areas suitable for dining or relaxing outdoors. A covered hot tub beneath a canopy of lights provides a standout feature for evenings outside. Please note that the garden is not enclosed. Steps and an opening lead to the rear car park, and a parking permit can be arranged for guests, adding convenience in this central location.
From the doorstep, guests can easily explore Lyme Regis, with independent cafés, pubs, and well‑regarded restaurants all within walking distance. The sandy beach is close by for classic seaside days, while the Cobb Harbour offers scenic walks, fishing boats, and coastal boat trips. Positioned within the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, the town is surrounded by dramatic scenery and fossil‑rich shores, with the South West Coast Path accessible directly from the centre, leading towards Charmouth, West Bay, and beyond.
This impressive Lyme Regis home welcomes pets and is offered on a weekly only booking basis.
Mayflower Cottage is a stylish and spacious coastal retreat on one of Lyme Regis’ most historic lanes, perfectly placed for enjoying the very best this picturesque seaside town has to offer.
