Waverley
Description
Sherborne Lane is a secluded pedestrian lane in the heart of Lyme Regis within easy reach of the town centre and the nearby River Lym walk. With its origins stretching back to Saxon times, Sherborne Lane is a mix of quaint and colourful period cottages of individual character and style. The independent shops, restaurants and beaches are all within a short walk away, making this an ideal location from which to explore this historic and picturesque seaside town.
Waverley is a delightful cottage, mixing both contemporary and character features. The open-plan living area with woodburning stove is inviting and leads out onto a raised decked veranda with some lovely views out over the rooftops of Lyme Regis. Steps down from the veranda take you to an enclosed courtyard seating area, perfect for a spot of alfresco dining. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, a double and a twin room, with a family bathroom on the first floor and a shower room on the ground floor.
Please note: One small/medium sized dog accepted

What guests are saying
Great property in good central location.
The only downside is the steep hill to and from the carpark.
We have stayed at Waverley 6 times now, but after a break of a couple of years from Lyme we missed the town and the cottage so had to return.
The cottage location is great and we love the proximity to the Mill, the pedestrian only access and all that goes with it. About three or 4 years ago the cottage had a makeover when the new owners came in, new breakfast island, sofa etc. Just a couple of little observations: We think the sofa is now uncomfortable; it has probably had at least 3 years of heavy use, so the bounciness has gone and probably needs replacing. The other minor observation is the blinds, they are probably ok for a domestic house, but for a holiday rental some of them are a little fiddly, hard to get level and fragile. More robust blinds wouldn’t go amiss. Other than that we love the cottage and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Lyme, but hope these comments help.
A lovely property, well equipped and in a great location.
We had a great week. Only one note -the sun loungers aren't usable as the elastic ties binding the material to the metal have perished.
Good to know

Property notes
Please note that the property is located on a quiet pedestrian only lane so while cars can not pull up outside, there is a trolley in the property to make moving your bags from the car to the front door much easier. Do take care as the lane is on a hill.
As with many characterful properties, there are sloped ceilings in the bedroom with restricted head room in some parts.
