River Lym Cottage

This is our second stay at River Lym Cottage and we had another enjoyable time.

Thank you. We had a slight issue with one of the single beds being very squeaky. We contacted Lyme Bay Holiday's but as it was over a weekend, there was a 24 hr delay before we had a response which meant my son couldn't sleep in the bed and had to share with me until we had a response - it was so squeaky it kept him and his brother awake the night before! I'm pleased to say it was resolved soon after Lyme Bay Holidays responded on the Monday and we had no further problems for the rest of the holiday. My only suggestion would be for there to be an out of hours response line at Lyme Bay Holidays for things like this. Families often arrive at the weekend and it should be something that is catered for.

The overall standard of accommodation was extremely high.

The facilities and equipment are comprehensive and of a high specification and in particular the standard of furnishings and cleanliness in all rooms was exemplary. The car parking space is a great advantage and I would certainly look to book this accommodation again

Ideally located for access to the town and beach.

Lovely quiet location and the property was lovely and clean. Well stocked with cutlery and dishes. Parking is restrictive as stated but suffices. Would recommend to others.

This was a return visit to River Lym cottage.

We find it a charming and well-appointed property, conveniently situated for town and beach, without the need to climb up and down Lyme's steep hills.

We booked this as it was on the flat and avoided the steep hills.

This was such a clean house the best we've stayed in the last few years it was spotless. Plenty of room downstairs for cooling, eating and relaxing. We did find the house very cold, front door let in very cold air and kept hallway and the upstairs cold, especially the bedroom at the top of the stairs. The bed in the main bedroom we found very small and uncomfortable, we aren't big people but found little space whilst lying on the bed and duvet felt too small to cover us both and keep us warm. Back bedroom we used as a detessing room but again it was very cold in there. Living room sofa wasn't comfortable, when you sit on it you feel like it throws you forward, it wasn't a comfy sofa to sit on. For us as much as we loved the space this house had we wouldn't return for a 2nd visit due to how cold it was and how it lacked comfort. As we visited during winter months and we wete in the house alot over Xmas we didn't feel cosy and warm in the house. We did find it had everything we needed and more and a downstairs toilet that isn't mentioned in the description of the house.

An ideal property for exploring Lyme and the surrounding area.

The tasteful Christmas decorations were much appreciated. We've already booked to return next December! The property details suggested that the parking space was not big enough for a large car, but pleasingly it turned out to be plenty big enough for my Ford Galaxy. Just one request, please clarify the recycling arrangements - there were 3 separate pages in the guest folder all containing different information. Also a phone call to failed to clarify the situation!

This was our second visit.

We both love it for its cleanliness, homeliness and the really well stocked kitchen. It’s great to have a parking space and the walk down into the town is just perfect and not too long or hilly. The only very slight issue is the hard sofa, which at the end of a day out in the elements isn’t very welcoming however is completely fine and clean. We definitely will try and book again in 2026.

We loved our stay at River Lym Cottage!

It exceeded our expectations. The locations is perfect, really quiet and just a short 10min walk into town with other villages/towns only a short drive away. The parking was great, able to fit a Peugeot 2008! The kitchen was really well equipped and the whole place had everything we needed and was so clean! We would definitely recommend!

Stunning cottage in a great picturesque part of Lyme.

Lovely short walk into town or to the beach. The cottage is well laid out, and there's everything you will ever need in there. The decor is simply beautiful.

Lovely place - thank you!

Couldn’t fault the cottage, it’s fully equipped, well maintained and nicely decorated.

The location is excellent and the off street parking for a small car was a bonus. We would stay here again.

We have been many times with the previous company,and found the cottage spotless.

This time however the floors were very dirty, the bottom of our socks and slippers were filthy. floors were obviously not washed .Considering that the cottage is dog friendly this should be done,(we didn’t have a dog) The sink overflow in the bathroom was dirty as was the rim under the toilet.we cleaned these ourselves.Not quite sure what the cleaner did.We feel very sorry for the owners who are paying good money to have the property maintained by Sykes .what a shame beautiful decor.We paid nearly £2000 for 2 weeks disappointing.

Excellent accommodation.

Convenient location for Lyme Regis shops and promenade (10 minute walk).

Comfortable , well appointed cottage.

The location was perfect for us as we could take our dog for a walk straight from the front door . Near to town and beaches also. The addition of a parking place was a big plus point we were able to park our car (ford Puma) with room to spare but a large car might be a challenge. Overall a lovely cottage.

River Lym Cottage has everything going for it - location, parking space, cleanliness, facilities, comfort and a generous Welcome Pack.

We loved every minute of our stay in this lovely cottage. We never did get the twin ovens working, despite pressing all the knobs we could. Some simple instructions could be useful.

Internal doors downstairs difficult to close

We had a very enjoyable long weekend along with our 2 miniature schnauzers.

It was a great location and very comfortable. If I could recommend anything it would be to have a blind on the back door as the dogs slept in the kitchen and it was very light early hours so they were up earlier than I would of liked and being picky a pizza cutter would be handy. I think it is the only utensil missing. I would highly recommend and will hopefully get the chance to return to this cottage again. I managed to fit my Range Rover in the parking recess in front of the cottage which is a bonus. We had lovely sunny weather so was an added bonus. Sorry we forgot to write in the visitors book. Can recommend the Hong Kong Chinese takeaway in the town and the area is very dog friendly.

We found the property very well equipped and charmingly furnished and decorated.

Our only concerns were that we could not find the operating instructions for the gas cooker (which we didn't realise was a gas cooker until the maintenance man told us) and the microwave, either in the drawer where the loose-leaf file told us they were - or anywhere else!

A very clean and well equipped cottage in an ideal location for exploring Lyme Regis and the surrounding area.

Loved our stay here

Our 3rd visit to river Lym cottage and we weren’t disappointed.

The house is in a perfect location to explore Lyme & the area . The house is comfortable & well stocked with everything we needed for a great weeks holiday with our Labrador .

Lovely cottage .

Very clean and nicely decorated . Good location and easy walk to the town and beach front . Marked 4 ⭐️due to the small hard sofa. Also could have changed to winter duvets .

Lovely cottage, clean and very well equipped.

Great to have a parking space outside. Really easy walk to and from town, which was nice as a lot quieter than being nearer to all the pubs and shops.

Lovely cottage and fab location.

We love the walk down the river to Lyme Regis or up to Uplyme. The cottage had everything we needed. Parking is very useful.

Beautiful little cottage in a lovely location.

This is our second stay and will probably not be our last. Very well equipped, beautifully decorated, a little gem.

Really enjoyed our stay at this cottage.

We particularly appreciated how clean the property was, and it was very nicely decorated, lots of lovely, homely touches. Everything you could possibly need in a holiday cottage was provided, and it was only a short walk down into Lyme Regis itself, alongside the beautiful river walk.

Had a fantastic stay , the cottage was beautiful good location , very clean and inviting , would recommend it to anyone

We had a lovely stay at River Lym Cottage.

The house was perfect for us and easy access to the beach and Lyme Regis shops. There are walks for the dogs right from your doorstep too. The facilities had everything we needed and the house was comfortable and clean. Parking is a little tight for my estate car, but I managed it with a bit of back and forth! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Clean and tidy cottage would not stay here again due to parking at the cottage very tight and with the road closed at one end of the road very hard to turn around there was large builder vans parked everywhere The comfort at the cottage was very basic beds and furniture were not very comfortable it did have a downstairs toilet, which was not listed it is a nice 10 minute walk to the beach

Great location with parking for medium size car.

Lovely decor and welcoming feel. Kitchen well equipped however we missed not having a tea pot. Useful having mini freezer compartment on fridge. Really comfy bed. Great to have shower and bath and second toilet. Nice to have option to pop heating on for towel rail as week was rather cool considering its July! We did have an issue with tv on first night would not turn on. Used batteries from my torch in handset which fixed it. Later in week had to report lack of signal from aerial. Maintenance came and fixed but happened again hour later. May need further investigation.

River Lym Cottage is excellent holiday accommodation, providing modern facilities, well equipped and good furnishings throughout.

It is in a good location for exploring Lyme Regis with approximately a ten minute level walk to the beach.

Can’t recommend this cottage highly enough.

Clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Everything we needed was there. Lovely location and within easy reach of the town and seafront, it’s just perfect. Have already booked a return stay in September.

This was a perfectly situated and pristine place to stay.

I couldn’t fault anything at all, I loved the decor and small personal touches. My only comment would be that the sofa wasn’t hugely comfortable but I do appreciate this is a rental property and furniture needs to be both cost efficient and sturdy! All in all we had a wonderful stay and hope to return. Thank you.

The house is a beautiful cottage which is very comfortable.

It made our stay relaxed and easy to use. There is a short lovely walk into Lyme and positioned in a nice quiet location. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to have such a wonderful experience. Regards Ian and Louise

The only minor problem was a slight odour, which seemed to be coming from the drain under the kitchen sink.

It was most evident when we first entered the cottage. It did not spoil our overall enjoyment but is probably worth investigating. It may also to alert future guests who want to park at the property, that it helps to be good at parallel parking!

Fantastic holiday at River Lym cottage!

We found it very comfortable and loved the beautiful walk down to the town along the river. We found the sound of the water very relaxing. Thank you for the lovely welcome goodies! The only confusion was around the recycling/waste- it wasn’t clear where to put food waste or what day the bins would be collected (no calendar).

Loved our stay in River Lym Cottage, parking was awkward but possible and welcome.

The details on rubbish disposal were not clear so we weren’t sure which bins to use, maybe some clarification needed in the instructions? Great location for getting into town and dog walking along the river. A warm and cosy place to stay.

River Lym Cottage is in the perfect location.

It is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. We had a fabulous few days there.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting to get around town.

We had a fabulous time. We will be back

Spotlessly clean, well appointed, situation quiet next to river lym and a short level walk to town and beaches.

We had a very comfortable visit at the cottage which was a delight to stay in. Also welcome pack was a nice touch thank you.we will definitely return here .

River Lyn cottage, was such a lovely holiday break, the cottage was clean and tidy, and had everything you needed.

With a short walk along the river it made it easy assess into Lyme Regis. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. My family and me would come back again.
