“The third time we have stayed at this cottage and it gets better each time, a real home from home.”

- Alex, April 2025
Susan April 2025

“A beautifully refurbished cottage with a lovely terrace overlooking the garden, and in easy walking distance of the town along the riverside.”

The sun room and balcony was a real bonus. Very clean and well equipped - we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in this lovely place and would recommend a holiday in Lyme Regis in general.

- Susan, April 2025
Amanda April 2025

“The cottage is well located and in a beautiful and peaceful setting, we loved being woken by the chirping of birds and the bubbling river.”

However, we found the cottage to be rather small for a family of four ( two adults and two older teens) – particularly given the price. Providing only three chairs around the small table in the kitchen was rather frustrating ( though we found another one in one of the bedrooms). I think the property would work better for parties of two or three. Also, some advice for future guests, the instructions about how to get to the property don’t make it clear that you should not drive into the road called Jerico. If you do ( as we did), there is no place to turn around, so you have to reverse out. However, parking at the local car park worked fine – the property provided a permit for this, which was good.

- Amanda, April 2025

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. It's lovely to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting and the lovely sounds of nature during your stay. Regarding the access instructions, we do advise on our website not to drive down Jericho Road due to the limited space to turn around, and we appreciate you mentioning this for others. We're happy that the local car park worked well for you and that the parking permit provided was helpful. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

Denise November 2024

“Our third stay in the last two years which says everything.”

Superb accommodation in beautiful cottage , spotlessly clean, warm, very comfortable and well equipped to very high standard. The patio and shared garden adjoining the brook is a lovely feature which we were able to enjoy on a couple of sunny days , a real sun trap even in November.. We enjoyed walking on the beach and eating out in restaurants all only a few minutes walk away. Lovely cottage in beautiful , peaceful and relaxing locations.

- Denise, November 2024

It’s very encouraging to hear fabulous feedback. Nearly a quarter of our bookings are repeats! We are very blessed with our cleaning lady! Looking forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

Matthew October 2024

“Beautiful cottage centrally located to Lyme.”

Blissful river running around property. Great size rooms with lots of storage. Downstairs bathroom is stunning and it’s ideally having laundry facilities. Would recommend the cottage to everyone. The only downfall is the parking being so far away from the cottage.

- Matthew, October 2024
Linda September 2024

“My mum’s next door neighbour used to own this cottage and we have stayed many times over the years - the last time being15 years ago!”

!!! It was lovely to return to the cottage after such a long period of time and find that although it has been modernised it still retains all of its original charm. We had a wonderful week at the cottage which was spotlessly clean, welcoming and very comfortable. A much appreciated welcome pack awaited us and set the tone for what proved to be a very happy holiday! Thank you for sharing your lovely cottage with us - we will most definitely be back!!

- Linda, September 2024

How interesting that you have a connection to the cottage! We look forward to your return visit! Property Owner
Philip September 2024

“No shampoo or body wash, no cloths washing soap, the washer did not work till I pulled it out from the wall and unplugged it, waited and plugged it back in.”

Great location and clean and pleasant.

- Philip, September 2024
Rosie September 2024

“Disappointing to arrive with a bag of dirty linen in tbe double room from ...”

Disappointing to arrive with a bag of dirty linen in tbe double room from previous visitors which we had to move and there were other bags in the property which I think should have been removed ( one on top of a wardrobe and one in boiler cupboard I contacted Sykes but no reply Also water was coming down a pipe in upstairs shower as well which reported to Sykes with email with no reply

- Rosie, September 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the linen bag being missed. We would have been more then happy to resolve this for you but we have no trace of any communication from yourself. We will attend to look into the pipe. Thank you once again. The Lyme Bay Team. Property Owner
Sarah August 2024

“We enjoyed our stay here (2 adults and 2 children).”

A lovely and well maintained cottage that had everything that we needed. We particularly enjoyed the sun room and bolcany and it was nice to be able to use the shared garden with private patio area. Lovely bathrooms too! It’s a beautiful short walk along the river into Lyme Regis and we appreciated having use of the parking permit for the carpark on Hill Rd as it took away the anxiety of knowing where to park and saved us some money! We couldn’t find a key to the bedroom window which we wanted to lock overnight due to having small children (but appreciate we could have been looking in the wrong place). We couldn’t get live TV working on the main television whilst we were there, but this didn’t take away from our enjoyment as we watched the Olympics via iplayer. A beautiful cottage and very well equipped cottage.

- Sarah, August 2024

Delighted you had a happy holiday! We all love the balcony space with the beautiful view and river sounds. I’ve spoken to the local office about the TV - so I understand all is now in hand. Thank you Property Owner
Sarah July 2024

“Location of this property is fabulous - in the heart of Lyme Regis but cleverly secluded and quiet.”

Well-appointed and parking permit is appreciated. We had a great time. The TVs were not tuned in and we couldn’t resolve. Lyme Bay Holidays didn’t resolve our issue either. Despite requests, the only responses we received were electronic communications saying it was a busy period, sorry they hadn’t got to us and did we still want our issue sorted. Not really good enough. TV wasn’t that important but hopefully holiday makers with a more significant issue were dealt with.

- Sarah, July 2024

Thank you so much for the feedback and so glad you enjoyed the location. I’ll follow up the TV issue with Lyme Bay. Thanks again Property Owner
Ian June 2024

“Had a great holiday in this well maintained cottage set in a quiet corner with garden views and a small river running by which adds to its charm.”

It’s very handy for getting into Lyme Regis. Just a ten minute stroll by a footpath which follows the river. Parking is nearby at Hill road which is aptly named as the road up to the car park is quite steep but is free with the parking permit supplied. As commented by others the sofas are for loungers with long seats which would suit longer legged people. Otherwise the cottage has everything you need. The only other comment we would make is regarding the stairs. The lack of a hand rail can make you feel a bit uneasy especially if you are in later years. We would definitely rent the cottage again in the future as we liked the quiet location and the standards of the property.

- Ian, June 2024

Thank you for your comments. We’re having a think about your stair rail comment. Update 7/2/25 stair rail now in place! Property Owner
Matt May 2024

“A lovely, well maintained cottage within easy walking distance to the seafront at Lyme.”

The cottage is of a high quality and sitting on the balcony listening to the stream with a glass or two is idyllic. Would definitely come again

- Matt, May 2024

Thank you very much for the feedback. The balcony is a restful place with our favourite river view. Property Owner
Mary March 2024

“EXCELLENT ALL round - great location, well equipped to a very high standard, well laid out a very beautiful home - the only downside was we had to leave!”

Will definitely return though

- Mary, March 2024

Thank you for your feedback and so very pleased that you had an excellent stay! Property Owner
Sue March 2024

“We absolutely loved the cottage.”

The only thing I want to mention is the sofas. Looked lovely but not very comfortable. Everything else was exactly as we’d hoped. Such a pretty, cosy cottage in a peaceful and pretty spot so close to the town. Would love to visit again.

- Sue, March 2024

Glad to hear you will be visiting again! Property Owner
Alison March 2024

“Lovely, peaceful, very high standard of accommodation.”

Clean with lots of information about appliances heating etc. cosy and comfortable two bathrooms, short walk into Lyme a bit of a hill to the car park which was no problem to us and you can park nearby to unload your car. Would love to retire somewhere like this and would recommend to friends and family.

- Alison, March 2024

Glad you had a comfortable stay! Thank you for your recommendation. Property Owner
Andy March 2024

“Beautiful cottage, definitely come again”

- Andy, March 2024

Neil January 2024

“Lymbrook Cottage is a superb place to stay when visiting Lyme Regis.”

The car park that you utilise the parking permit for is only five minutes walk away, with the town and sea a further five. A good choice of eateries and shops abound in the town. The cottage is the star of the show however, with its cleanliness, warmth, comfort and attention to detail. The owner has done a particularly good job of supplying facilities and all the information that you need. It is certainly been one of the best that we have used and we would recommend it wholeheartedly to any of our friends. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

- Neil, January 2024

Thank you much for this detailed feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed the cottage and your comments will be helpful to future visitors. Property Owner

“It's our second holiday at 1 Lymbrook.”

We really enjoyed our stay despite the weather - the cottage is excellent - very well equipped and to a high standard. The location by the river is lovely and good for the river side walk into town. Thankyou :-)

- Stephen, March 2023

Delighted you enjoyed your stay! Hope the sun shines next time ;-) Property Owner
Elissa March 2023

“We didn’t want to leave!”

What an idilic setting. Spotlessly clean, well equipped, very comfortable beds. Scenic walk into the town. I definitely want to return.

- Elissa, March 2023

Thank you for your kind comments - we feel the same! Look forward to welcoming you back again. Property Owner
Ruth March 2023

“Lovely position, very quiet except for the sound of the stream!”

We enjoyed our stay but we felt it was too expensive. We are disenchanted with the town we love. The holiday homes have spoilt the town, that now has no services for the people who are residents. And everything is over priced.

- Ruth, March 2023
Joanna January 2023

“The cottage was lovely and cosy and in an idyllic position, a 10 minute walk to the seafront.”

It was very clean and well presented. Parking was no problem with a permit for a very nearby car park. We will definitely return for another visit.

- Joanna, January 2023

So pleased to hear you enjoyed the cottage and it’s location. Glad the permit came in handy! We look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

Glad you had a cosy stay in the comfy cottage! Really pleased that you are planning to come back. Property Owner
Stephen October 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage is in a lovely location and by the path for river- side walk into town. We can't fault the cottage, so cosy, clean and well equipped to a high standard. Thankyou so much, we will stay again.

- Stephen, October 2022

That’s great to hear you’re planning to come back and visit the ducks on the Brook. We look forward to welcoming you back to Lymbrook. Property Owner

The river that runs past it adds to the peace.

- Roy, October 2022

Thank you for your feedback. The sense of peace can be very special- glad you enjoyed it. Property Owner
Anne June 2022

“Spotlessly clean and so well equipped and furnished with taste,one of the best holiday let’s we have stayed in.”

We are from the older generation 80+ so would just pass comment on a couple of minor things.The step down to the downstairs bathroom would benefit from some form of marker for awareness sake.Struggled with TV access instructions(we admit to being behind the times in tech terms) but we’re helped by your office. None of this spoiled the lovely quiet haven of peace.Great stay Anne King

- Anne, June 2022

Apologies for the late response. We have totally taken your comments on board. There are now several signs and tape to indicate the step to the bathroom. The TV facilities have been upgraded - upstairs and down. Your return would be most welcome! Property Owner
