“We had a wonderful stay at The Old Boat House, the accommodation was superbly laid out for our family group and well located for spending long days enjoying all Lyme Regis has to offer.”

It was great having access to the trolley, deck chairs and parasol for our beach days and quite the novelty for our son to pull it into town! Communication with our hosts was excellent; Lorraine and Bob clearly put a lot of energy and thought into ensuring guests enjoy their stays! We would certainly return and recommend to others.

Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We’re really pleased you all had a wonderful week and that The Old Boat House worked so well for your family. It sounds as though the beach trolley was a particular hit with your son! It was a pleasure having you stay, and we’d love to welcome you back to Lyme Regis again. Very best wishes, Lorraine and Bob Property Owner

“Absolutely lovely property.”

Far exceeded expectations. Rentals can often be well worn, but this was like new. Beautiful house, nice lay out etc. Modern kitchen and bathrooms etc. Paintwork was spotless. Comfy beds. Nice decor. It had lots you wouldn’t expect, games in the lounge, lots of extras in the kitchens and bathrooms you normally expect to take yourself like soap, washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs, tea towels, dish cloth etc. Kitchen was very well equipped. Loved Lyme Regis, I’d never been before. Really unspoilt seaside town. Very picturesque. If I had to mention any negatives, at the property parking is a bit awkward and there is only one space. The lane that it is off is very narrow, but then they all are it seems. Lyme Regis itself is very hilly, so if you’re older, like my parents, or not that mobile, a more central location would be better for you, as it’s flatter nearer the sea. All said, I loved it and will more than likely go back again. It’s a real credit to its owners.

- Steven, May 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Steven. We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and that The Old Boat House exceeded your expectations. It’s especially nice to hear your comments about the cleanliness, comfort and all the little extras throughout the property. We take great pride in maintaining the cottage to the highest standards so our guests can relax and enjoy their holiday from the moment they arrive, so your kind words really mean a lot to us. Just to reassure future guests regarding parking, the private parking space is suitable for larger vehicles, including big Range Rovers and family vans. For additional vehicles, there is also free roadside parking available on Haye Close just behind the property. In fact, The Old Boat House is one of the few cottages in Lyme Regis where you can park directly outside the front door, making arrival, unloading luggage and trips to the beach nice and easy. Thanks again for choosing The Old Boat House. We’d love to welcome you back to Lyme Regis in the future. Best wishes, Lorraine Property Owner

“Amazing stay which we would highly recommend.”

Very lovely property in a great location for Lyme Regis. The house is in excellent condition and was extremely clean. There is a very nice walk into town following the River Lim Path.

Paul March 2026

“Lovely house.”

Warm and comfortable. Some great artwork on the walls. Great location with a nice river walk down to the beach. Only minor issue is there is a good washing machine but nothing for drying. Could do with at least a folding clothes airer.

- Paul, March 2026

Hi Paul Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I’m really sorry that you didn’t find the airing rack for the clothes. You could have texted me and I could tell you where it was stored. So sorry for that issue. We will look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes Lorraine Property Owner
Ben February 2026

“Beautiful recently renovated cottage, everything feels like a professional holiday cottage and not someone’s lived in house.”

Immaculately clean, high quality linen, modern interior. The walk to Lyme Regis was easy, even with 3 young children. Highly recommended.

- Ben, February 2026

Thank you, Ben, this means so much to us! We put a lot of love into making the cottage feel just right, so it’s brilliant to hear it showed, and that the walk into Lyme Regis was so easy with the children. We’d love to have you all back again next year! Property Owner
