    “The cottage was lovely and perfectly placed for all amenities HOWEVER….”

    We were unaware that the neighbours would be undergoing building works and we were disturbed at 9am on the dot every morning by drilling, sanding and hammering through the walls. My Autistic son found this quite distressing! We were also unaware that we would be sharing a back garden. On two separate occasions (that we are aware of) there were people wandering up through the side gate and around the back garden.

    We were unaware that the neighbours would be undergoing building works and we were disturbed at 9am on the dot every morning by drilling, sanding and hammering through the walls. My Autistic son found this quite distressing! We were also unaware that we would be sharing a back garden. On two separate occasions (that we are aware of) there were people wandering up through the side gate and around the back garden. Having loud conversations ( including fowl language) Again, we found this rather unsettling and intimidating. So yes, a beautiful place to stay but if you’re looking for peace and privacy then this isn’t the place for you unfortunately.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your stay. Really lovely to hear that you liked the cottage. We will certainly assess any nearby building work, we are afraid we were not aware of any upcoming works during your stay. The website listing does state that the property does have a path down the side that is used to access a small property. The garden is not shared. We hope to welcome you back to Dorset soon.

The property

Whiteleaf Cottage is a charming two-bedroom cottage located in a secluded pedestrian lane in the heart of Lyme Regis just a few paces from the town centre and seafront. 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 galleries are only a short walk away making this an ideal location from which to explore this historic and picturesque seaside town. Bright and comfortably furnished with an open-plan living area, Whiteleaf Cottage makes a perfect choice for couples or small families at any time of the year. The lounge with plush seating is perfect for relaxing after a day at the seaside area. The kitchen is bright and well-equipped for preparing meals which can be enjoyed together around the dining table. Step out from the kitchen to a rear courtyard garden with pretty shrubs and planting. An additional, raised seating area is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms. One at the front of the property enjoys views over Sherborne Lane and Lyme Regis. The second double is a more compact bedroom and has views over the garden at the rear with both bedrooms serviced by a bright and well thought out bathroom with bath which has a shower over. Just a few steps from the cottage is the town centre. There's a Tesco Express open 7am - 11pm, coffee houses and unique shops selling local produce and gifts. Food lovers will enjoy the great selection of eateries available. Fine dining restaurants such as Toms, Lilac or The Oyster and Fish House are great options for a special treat. Close by, is the old mill with its micobrewery, Spanish tapas restaurant and craft shops, while the many pubs serve a good selection of local food and beverages. Lyme Regis seafront boasts a family friendly sandy beach with paddle boarding and other water sports for you to try. Regular boat trips run from the famous Cobb harbour giving visitors a chance to view the dramatic Jurassic Coast from the sea or spot some of the marine life living in the waters. When it comes to exploring the area, there is so much to see and do. The South West coastal footpath is popular for walkers and takes in pretty fishing villages such as Seatown and Eype and rewards with breathtaking scenic views of the coast towards Chesil Beach and Portland on a clear day. For day trips, why not head to the popular fishing village of Beer with its limestone cliffs and pretty beach where it is easy to lose a few hours sat in a deckchair watching the local fishermen hauling their catches ashore. Or head to neighbouring Seaton, where you can hop on board and take a picturesque tram ride along the river Axe estuary through nature reserves to Colyford and Colyton. For those looking to holiday in this beautiful part of Dorset, Whiteleaf Cottage is a wonderful choice. Please note: There is a shared path alongside the cottage to a small house tucked behind.
