The property
Milton Cottage is a charming cottage nestled in the historic seaside town of Lyme Regis, on the stunning Jurassic Coast in Dorset. Perfect for couples, families, or small groups, this delightful cottage offers a peaceful escape just moments from the beach, shops, and coastal walks. Believed to date back to the 19th Century, step inside to discover a cosy living room with exposed beams and comfortable seating, ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the coast. The fully equipped kitchen and dining area open onto a private courtyard garden, perfect for al fresco breakfasts or evening drinks. Upstairs, you’ll find two tastefully decorated bedrooms, one double and one twin, along with a stylish bathroom featuring a bath with the convenience of a shower over.
Lyme Regis is a delightful destination for families, offering a blend of adventure and seaside fun. One of the town’s biggest draws is its fossil-rich coastline, where families can join guided fossil walks led by local experts or explore the beaches themselves in search of ancient treasures. The fascination continues at the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum and the Lyme Regis Museum, both of which bring the town’s prehistoric past to life in engaging and interactive ways. The scenic walk along the Cobb offers not only stunning views but also a touch of literary charm, famously featured in The French Lieutenant’s Woman. For those seeking a bit more excitement, boat trips and kayaking adventures along the Jurassic Coast provide a thrilling way to explore the area from the water.
Food lovers will appreciate the town’s excellent seafood restaurants, cosy pubs, and cafés serving everything from fresh fish and chips to traditional cream teas.
Whether you're fossil hunting on the beach, walking the coastal trails, or enjoying the town’s independent shops and cafés, Milton Cottage is your perfect base for a memorable Lyme Regis getaway.
