“A charming cottage in a peaceful location right in the middle of Lyme Regis.”

We particularly enjoyed the garden with its rooftop views.

Sheila July 2024

“A lovely stay, thanks!”

One tip for future holidaymakers - the parking permit is in an A4 frame on the bookshelf - unload at the end of Sherborne Lane when you arrive, grab the frame and you can park for free in Woodmead Carpark up Hill Road. Splendid croissants and sourdough bread at the Town Mill Bakery !!

Many thanks for your positive and helpful review. Property Owner

“TV a bit small!”

“We had a wonderful week at 30 Sherborne Lane!”

The location in the heart of Lyme is just perfect away from roads and traffic but with everything on your doorstep. The cottage is very cosy and with comfortable beds and good quality linens. There’s everything you need and a lovely sunny, south facing terrace. We hope to be able to stay here again in future!

- Christina, May 2024

Thank you very much for your review. We’re so pleased to hear you had a good stay. Property Owner

“Lovely property, very tastefully furnished and decorated.”

Our only major criticism was that the oven didn't heat to over 150 degrees. We like cooking so this was a bit of a major problem. The oven needs fixing.,

- Jennifer, May 2024

Thank you very much for your feedback. The oven has now been checked and apparently is taking longer than usual to heat up, so we’ll replace it as soon as possible. Property Owner

“Gorgeous, quiet little cottage.”

Access to a car park permit. Some lovely facilities have been considered in case of wet Lyme days including a TV helpful for toddler TV choices e.g YouTube. Listing states steep staircase and no stair gate. However single child bed is beside a plummeting staircase- which was so much of a concern I had to keep our son with me and make my husband sleep in that room. The cottage is set to 17c and to override it meant climbing up a cupboard above the staircase. Fine for us but could be tricky for some. Buggy entrance is tricky. Back door is easier. All in all though it was a lovely space with a wood burner that took the edge off at night. Would stay again.

- Marina, April 2024

Many thanks for your nice comments and feedback. The thermostat for the central heating is by the front door , but yes, the boiler controls are a bit tricky to reach . Property Owner

“Cozy, comfy; felt like home away from home.”

Judy June 2023

“We regularly holiday in Lyme Regis and this cottage was the cleanest and most comfortable that we have stayed in.”

The double bed had very good quality linen provided. We slept so well that If the gulls hadn't woken us up early in the morning we would have missed half the day. The kitchen was very well equipped and the welcome pack was lovely. The stairs may be a little steep for some but the handrail was sturdy. We look forward to staying at this cottage in the future

Perfect location.

“I have marked lower for cleanliness as the downstairs carpet could really benefit from a clean.”

Our socks ended up black from walking around downstairs. I have marked lower on facilities and maintenance as the shower has low power, presumably due to the hose leaking from the shower output. This may just be a washer which needs to be replaced. Very nice touches with biscuits, handsoap and a bottle of milk being left. A final negative would be the pillows, which are all very 'thick' and very uncomfortable. I used a folded up t shirt instead, but would just bring my own next time.

- Andrew, April 2023

We were saddened to read your feedback as we had just been very busy spring cleaning in time for your arrival. The floor covering in the sitting room is natural seagrass, so can only be vacuumed but the upstairs carpets had been recently cleaned. Thank you for drawing our attention to the shower. We will get this checked out and remedied as soon as possible. Unfortunately pillows are a matter of personal taste so we’re sorry that ours were unsuitable for you. We do hope that you had an enjoyable stay in spite of the above issues . Christine & Gerry, property owners Property Owner

“Very nice cottage in easy reach of high street and beach.”

Our only tiny gripe is that for the odd evening when you might decide to stay in a slightly bigger Tv would be good, but if the weather is fab it’s much nicer to sit by the sea!

- John, Jul 2022

“We had a lovely return stay at the cottage.”

Just one point to note the smoke alarm upstairs may need a battery change as it went off at 6am the other morning with obviously no reason as to why as we were all asleep, so it may need checking if faulty.
