Riverdance Cottage

As a family, we found that the headroom in the kitchen was very low.

There is no mention of any height restrictions, and my son, who is 6ft 6in, kept bumping his head. The height is only really suitable for anyone under 6ft. The number of steps also made the property unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues, which affected me during the stay. The lack of a toilet on the bedroom level also caused problems. The property was not as clean as expected. The windows were dirty, especially in the kitchen, where the view was affected by bird droppings and feathers. There were also cobwebs in various places. A parking permit or ticket would have been helpful. Overall, this is not somewhere I would book again.

Property is in a good location and is reasonably comfortable.

Rather in need of redecorating in communal areas.

We had a lovely stay at Riverdance Cottage!

The cottage was cosy and well equipped with everything that you need for a great stay. Not that we needed much as we preferred to get out and enjoy all that Lyme has to offer! The location couldn't be better - it is minutes away from the beach, local attractions, great restaurants and shops - everything is on your doorstep. We were there for four nights and could have happily stayed longer - we'd have no hesitation in returning to Riverdance Cottage - thanks for a great few days!

Beautiful cottage, ideal location, fantastic cafes for breakfast and boutique shops on the door step!

Beds super comfortable and despite being in the middle of town a quiet place to stay...loved hearing the stream as well...would love to stay again!

Property filthy, mould on the bath mat, shower curtain and bath plug.

Round the window in the bathroom is mouldy. Bath temperature goes to freezing every few minutes. Dirty in kitchen including where the wall is breaking away. Radiator in the bathroom is full of rust and the towel rail fell apart on the first day. Thick dust on all the light fittings. Towels are thin and well worn, no hand towels. Lack of home comforts for a very cold house (blankets) Lighting in master bedroom is pointless with the dimmer switch broken. Knob to turn the cooker on is broken. Damp in the lounge and poorly decorated. Extremely poorly equipped kitchen. Kitchen cupboards smell of mould so crockery smells. Knives are blunt and unusable. Sieve is covered in rust and limescale. 3 matching wine glasses and mismatched drinking glasses. Side plates are scratched and not nice to use, very basic mismatched equipment. The kick boards in the kitchen are broken and there is dirt along the open cabinets in the kitchen. Dust across most of the beams in the kitchen. Dyson hoover plug attached to the wall with no hoover. Under-stairs landlord storage is messy as well as storage bags and Christmas tree box not put away. Soap in the downstairs toilet was left empty as well as cleaning products under the sink. Kitchen sponge is old and unusable. Welcome pack is limited. Bin collection is wrong so we weren’t able to put the bins out. Empty bottle from previous guest left outside the side door and the side access is filthy. No explanation or reviews of local restaurants, all information that could be googled. Walks would be more useful to be from Lyme Regis. We book with Sykes twice a year but after the state of this property we will be looking to book with a different company.

Very cosy, comfortable & well-equipped cottage in the very heart of Lyme Regis.

Just a stone’s throw from sea front & the main shopping street with an abundance of cafes & pubs. Very impressed with all the facilities in the property and for the trouble the owners had taken to provide a detailed welcome pack with milk and snacks. The only slight issue was that the water in the shower went cold temporarily every few minutes - however, once knowing that the hot water would return after a few seconds it was no problem, and possibly just a case of supply issues in the area. The absence of parking was no problem at all - we booked a private driveway a few minutes walk away, and were able to stop temporarily about 20 yards up the road for the cottage to unload. Would definitely stay here again if re-visiting Lyme Regis.

Basic cottage in the best location.

2 min walk to the beach, two bakeries next door. Be aware that the woodmead parking is £80 per week.

Excellent property in an ideal location.

Very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The welcome package was more than generous, I have never had one like it. The only down side for my husband and I were the stairs which we found challenging, as my husband is a bit unsteady on his feet and I suffer with arthritis. For a younger, healthy person it wouldn't be a problem. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

We had a lovely time, very relaxing hearing the river.

We will be booking Same time next year for 2 weeks. Thankyou so much. Love Lucy & Phil ♥️ ❤️

The cottage was seaside post card pretty, quaint with lots of character.

Centrally located amongst shops, restaurants, cafes which are all dog friendly and of course the wonderful beach. Although the cottage does not have a garden or outside seating area it was only a matter of yards walk away to find greenery and the beach. Recommend the walk to Beer from Seaton along the coastal path, we only had a 3 day stay but we didn’t want to go home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and so did our dog!

Fantastic stay at a great little cottage on the heart of the town.

The property was well provisioned and very comfortable. Will definitely be starting here again

We selected this property because it was central in the town and as we were not planning on exploring the wider area of Dorset or Devon.

We were not disappointed. The house is very conveniently located for a week's stat in Lyme where we hadn't visited before. It was very comfortable,be specially the beds, and the constant sound of the river burbling its way past the house on its way to the sea was delightful. Occasionally, when the tides were high, the waves reached as fast as the house which just added to the experience. As with any holiday rental , even with the best, there are always some minor niggles. One such in this house is that there isn't a collander for draining pasta and the corkscrew is a bit iffy. We also noticed dust falling from gaps in the ceiling above the cooker hood. An easy fix. Sealant around the bath could do with replacing as well. All in all though we had a very enjoyable stay.

Had a lovely week in Lyme at this cosy, comfortable cottage.

Facilities were excellent, very clean, super comfy beds and welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc, that were greatly appreciated after a six hour drive! The location is fantastic, cafes, beach and pubs all within a five minute walk, didn’t drive anywhere all week, just relaxed and enjoyed it. Definitely recommend and will return.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage with everything we needed.

The location is fantastic for exploring Lyme Regis and the surrounding countryside.

Spent 5 lovely nights at Riverdance.

The cottage is well equipped with plenty of space for 4 people. The sound of the river is very relaxing. Located very close to the sea front and shops. Recommend Woodmead car park.

Nicely refurbished property close to bars, restaurants and coffee shops.

Plenty of hot water from the shower as well. Could do with some hangars for trousers and more cutlery but these are small details. Internet is slow. Would re-book.

Just got back from a lovely break at the Riverdance Cottage and have to say the owners had though of everything!

From the kitchen facilities and pint of milk in the fridge, to the guide books and walks left by the sofas. As a family we couldn't fault it. It was decorated beautifully and I even found some of the furnishings in the local shops, of which there are plenty!. The location is ideal for the beach, cafes and restaurants. I was worried about the parking, but we bought a 3-day permit at the car park. I would definitely recommend Riverdance, and hopefully return for a short-break in the future.

Had a lovely short break at Riverdance, we’ve never stopped anywhere that is better equipped than here.

The cottage was decorated beautifully with a home from home feel rather than holiday accommodation. The bedrooms were lovely, one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in. Location was perfect for everything, would have been easier if there had been outside space for the dogs but it really wasn’t a problem and would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Fantastic location, couldn’t be better.

Lovely cottage and furnished to a high spec. Beds were very comfy. We had a great few days. Recommend people visit the Mill and the brewery as very close by. Lovely cafe next door but one, where we had a lovely breakfast. Thank you, will definitely return for another mini break.

Perfect family getaway with a toddler - couldn't have asked for better!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Riverdance Cottage with our toddler, and it exceeded all our expectations. The location is simply unbeatable -cafes and restaurants are literally right on your doorstep, making mealtimes so convenient when traveling with a little one. The cottage itself is beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. The décor is lovely and creates such a cosy, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel at home immediately. Everything you could possibly need is provided, which made our stay stress-free and comfortable. The games provided were a lovely touch for relaxing evenings in the cottage. These thoughtful extras really show the care that's gone into making guests feel welcome. The river running behind the cottage adds so much charm to the property. The combination of the prime location, beautiful cottage, and family-friendly touches made this a perfect base for exploring Lyme Regis. Would definitely recommend to other families and would love to return ourselves!

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Riverdance Cottage in Lyme Regis and what a fantastic time we had.

We were indeed blessed with some beautiful weather and stayed in this fabulous cottage situated right in the heart of the town. The cottage itself is situated in a very quiet side road, just a 1 minute walk to the beach with no hills or steep inclines. The cottage backs onto the river Lym and the water runs directly past the kitchen window, a great spot for your morning coffee. Everything is well appointed and the cottage has everything you need for a short break. Most importantly the beds are very comfortable and we slept really well. A lovely cottage in the perfect location for all that Lyme Regis has to offer. We will be back with friends

Excellent place

I liked the window at the bottom of the stairs where you could sit and listen / watch the stream running past.

My fiance and I stayed at Riverdance Cottage for a lovely weekend away.

The property was perfect for us. The log fire was roaring whilst we drank champagne. The cottage was spotlessly clean and spacious, perfect for a murder mystery game which left investigate paperwork all over the place. The location couldn't be better, just a minute's walk to several idyllic pubs with stunning sea views. The bed was 5- star comfort so much, so I skipped my morning run! I would highly recommend staying at Riverdance Cottage!
