Frances
September 2026

“Everything was clean tidy and well thought out.”

Good decorations including appropriate pictures / objects relevant to the local area. Bathroom and kitchens well designed easy to use with lots of china, cooking implements, glasses etc. Parking area well thought out giving plenty of space per vehicle. All in all it was an excellent apartment in a good location providing access to all parts of the town and nearby countryside but you do have to accept that Lyme Regis is built on hills but this keeps you fit!

Ian August 2026

“Really isn’t anything I would have improved.”

All was beautiful, clean and made for a wonderful stay. Welcome pack was a real treat. Thank you. Would just highlight to others that the property is on a steep hill so keeps you fit walking there from the sea front. Also, not many windows can open/be safely left open, so I would imagine it gets very warm in warm weather.

- Ian, August 2026

Thank you for your comments and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay. We find the apartment stays cooler in hot weather than newer properties owing to its thick stone walls, and we do provide a fan for guests. Property Owner
Jane August 2026

“It is a beautiful building and the flat was lovely.”

The entrance to the car park looked like a private drive, which confused us - and other guests! The facilities were good, and in the hot weather the rooms were cool. It is worth persevering with the walk up and down into Lyme Regis itself! Even in high season, it was a great place to be.

- Jane, August 2026

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again. Property Owner
Nicola July 2026

“It was a lovely property and a great location.”

If you can afford it, I thoroughly recommend it.

Glenys October 2025

“We found this apartment spacious, comfortable and well equipped.”

The welcome pack was a nice touch. The shower room was to a high standard and very much a home from home, I would like to point out though that there is a little mould on the ceiling directly above the shower cubicle and we had to remove the hair from the trap. The kitchen was also to a high standard with a good selection of pots and pans. The beds were also very comfortable and bed linen was cotton which made for a more comfortable night. The property is on a corner of two busy roads and on a bus route, the buses were predominently DD buses so we did feel a little overlooked when they passed. Overall a lovely apartment.

- Glenys, October 2025
Alex September 2025

“Very comfortable stay, wifi kept dropping out but not too much of a problem.”

It would have been good to know that the property, although close to everything, was up a steep hill and one of our party has medical problems

- Alex, September 2025

We are glad you had a comfortable stay and hope you weren’t too inconvenienced by the hill. We have now had the listing changed to mention this. Property Owner
Janet August 2025

“The apartment is very well equipped, so that it feels like a family home, with maps, books, even children's cutlery.”

We enjoyed learning about Thomas Coram, and reading about Mary Anning, after we had been fossil-hunting! The welcome pack was a nice surprise too.

- Janet, August 2025

We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Scott August 2025

“Extremely clean, comfortable and with everything you need.”

Welcome pack a nice extra touch.

Claire July 2025

“1 Coram Tower was such a lovely apartment to stay in.”

The entire apartment was very tastefully decorated and the beds were really comfortable. My friend and I enjoyed our stay there very much. It was also so lovely and thoughtful to receive the hamper on arrival. An added bonus, of course, was the weather, it being my first time in Lyme Regis.

- Claire, July 2025

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again to 1 Coram Tower. Property Owner
Adrian June 2025

“Fabulous apartment!”

Our 4th stay. We will be back! Some of mugs could do with replacing as are chipped! ( minor observation!)

- Adrian, June 2025

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Stephen March 2025

“Dusty skirtings especially behind bed, drawers, etc.”

Beneath freezer. Courtyard dangerous..not swept, a lot of moss etc from the roofs. The steps need their nosings painted white. "Mind the step" notice needs attaching to to walls either side of the entrance door. It is a steep step up or down.

- Stephen, March 2025

Thank you for your comments. The step has now been painted to make it more visible and we will look into further improvements. Property Owner
Richard March 2025

“It would have been nice to have arrived to some heating, when we arrived the flat was very cold and took a while to warm up once we had turned all the heaters on.”

Other than that a lovely stay and a lovely property.

- Richard, March 2025
Paul October 2024

“What a fantastic place.”

Loved it

- Paul, October 2024
John June 2024

“Loved the property.”

Anything you might have thought you would need was there. Super clean and comfy. Welcome pack was very thoughtful and looked like local products. Very tasty - thank you. Very comfortable stay and if we were to come back down this way, we would definitely stay here again.

- John, June 2024

We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you again. Property Owner
Maria June 2024

Fiona May 2024

“Very comfortable, clean and well maintained apartment in a good location.”

Been to Lyme many times over the years so know the area is beautiful and this accommodation was comparable with the best we’ve ever stayed in. Well equipped, nice and quiet, great to have our own front door and decent parking. Would definitely recommend and would return.

- Fiona, May 2024

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Jennifer March 2024

“Super accommodation.”

Clean, comfortable. Will be back! This was our third stay in Flat 1, Coram Towers. We absolutely LOVE Lyme Regis! Only ‘niggle’ was the fridge, which had a temperature problem and there was a lot of water gathering on the shelves. Thank you Lyme Bay Holidays!

- Jennifer, March 2024

Delighted you enjoyed another stay with us. Thank you for alerting us to the fridge issue. Property Owner
Lorraine March 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay, the property had everything we required plus more, the owner has thought about everything, and great having your own parking space The gift bag was a real treat too and very much appreciated, thank you Our only point would be to have the sensor light working fully, so it comes on at the bottom of the first lot of stairs as you get to the yard area.”

We tripped twice on the 2 steps in darkness before the second sensor light came on. Otherwise it’s an excellent property to stay at

- Lorraine, March 2024

Thank you for pointing out the issue with the lights - we are sorry you were inconvenienced. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay in Coram Tower. Property Owner
Tom October 2023

“1 Coram Tower is a really nice flat, but our stay was let down by two points.”

First, the wifi speed made working from there difficult: we were only able to get 3Mbps download and 1Mbps upload speeds, which was even worse than our bad 4G signal. BT's speed estimates for the property were significantly higher, so much higher speeds should be available. The booking process has changed for the worse since last year. We've stayed with Lyme Bay Holidays 7 times now, but this time there was a lot of aggressive upselling of insurance during the booking process and when we tried to change our booking just one week after making it (and more than 6 months in advance…) we were told that we would lose our entire deposit if we did so. That left a bad feeling for us as loyal customers.

- Tom, October 2023

We are sorry to hear of your experience. All bookings/amendments to bookings are now managed centrally by the Reservations Team. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Russell September 2023

“Lovely apartment beautifully kept and clean.”

I know basically it's a block of flats but the stay was spoilt by other occupants slamming doors at all hours day and night. Maybe put soft closures on all doors.

- Russell, September 2023
Mark August 2023

“Fantastic, convenient place to stay especially with the parking bay.”

- Mark, August 2023
Jane August 2023

“We have just spent the loveliest week at 1 Coram Tower!”

The accommodation is of a really high standard and we enjoyed the history of the building too. We went with our two teenage children and found the apartment spacious enough for all of us. The teenagers were pleased to find Wifi too! Parking at the apartment is a real bonus and inside the apartment there were lovely touches to make it feel homely. The location is ideal for walking into Lyme but also a good base for exploring other places along the Jurassic Coast. We especially enjoyed a trip to Durdle Door. We will definitely hope to return one day and will recommend it to our friends and family.

- Jane, August 2023

Thank you for your lovely review, so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Samantha August 2023

“We had the most loveliest of times staying here, and I am so pleased we booked with you (we booked late and wasn't sure what we would find and now I am looking for next year to book and I'm not sure other places can beat it).”

The welcome pack was just wonderful and we had everything we needed. The car park across the road was a good send as we have an electric car and you can park there overnight for free from 6pm to 8am when it's not busy and charge your car (that bit isn't free).

- Samantha, August 2023

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Kate July 2023

“The only thing that let it down was a lack of cutlery and plates - only enough for one meal so we had to either wash up or put the dishwasher on after breakfast and dinner tk have enough.”

- Kate, July 2023

Thank you for your comments which we will look into. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Glen July 2023

“It's a nice property, excellent facilities, good parking, great location for exploring Lyme Regis.”

Description is accurate, directions to the property are clear. We would stay here again. Some detailed feedback for the owner... The hallway cupboard door doesn't close. This is very annoying as you're walking past it all the time. The blankets over the sofas are coarse and could be replaced with something a bit softer/nicer. There was a "wet dog" smell on arrival that took us a couple of days to pin down - it's the living room curtains. Not sure when they were washed last, or if they were hung back up wet and have gone a bit fusty. I'd be tempted to replace them. They are also quite difficult to close without pulling them quite hard, and sooner or later someone will tear them. It's hard to reach the middle ones without climbing around the table so something with a pull cord at the side would be a good investment. An oval table would give better /easier access to the wooden seats at the back and might make the room feel a bit bigger. The kick board under the fridge looks like it has been kicked and could do with some minor maintenance. Controls for the towel rail and the underfloor heating in the bathroom are complicated (even with the instructions) and a lot of people won't be able to fathom them out and just won't bother, which is a shame. Tenants might be happier with just an on/off button. One of the control panels is a bit loose. Excellent labelling of sockets and switches. Electric car charging points over the road are a benefit that a lot of people are looking for and should be called out in the listing.

- Glen, July 2023

We're pleased that you enjoyed your holiday in Lyme. Thank you for your feedback, we will certainly ask our housekeeping and maintenance teams to investigate the points raised. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Anthony May 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay at Coram Tower.”

The property was lovely and clean when we arrived and the welcome hamper was greatly appreciated. All the instructions for the property were clear and easy to follow. It was an ideal place to stay for our family of four (Two adults, two kids) and the perfect base for our exploration of the local area. The location of the property was great, a 10 minute walk to the centre of town and the beach (Perhaps worth noting that the public car park opposite now includes car chargers, very useful for those with electric cars!). We will definitely be returning!

- Anthony, May 2023

We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner
Paul December 2022

“Fantastically modern for an old building.”

Very impressed.

Katherine October 2022

“Great central location near beach.”

Apartment was perfect for a lovely long weekend. The welcome hamper was much appreciated too!

- Katherine, October 2022
Simon July 2022

“Wonderful property with all you could possibly need in a fantastic location.”

- Simon, July 2022
Colin July 2022

“What a great find 1 Coram Tower was.”

Am reluctant to sing its praises too much in case it gets so booked up we won’t be able to come back, which we fully intend to do. The location for both town and beach was perfect, with the added bonus of a sensible parking spot on site (not always easy to find in Lyme Regis). The accommodation was very clean and comfortable and we felt at home instantly. We believe the bathroom was newly renovated, and was pristine. The upkeep of bathrooms in holiday lets tends to be their downfall, hopefully this one stays as great as it currently is. The welcome pack had some very tasty local treats in addition to the basics of tea, coffee and milk, and was much appreciated. Thank you.

- Colin, July 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are glad you liked our new bathroom. We hope to welcome you again soon to 1 Coram Tower. Property owner Property Owner

“Fabulous holiday in the lovely Lyme Regis - apartment was excellent”

- Sallie, June 2022
Tom June 2022

“We've stayed at 1 Coram Tower a number of times now and really appreciate the recent bathroom refurbishment: the new bathroom is now up to the same high standard as the rest of the flat.”

We were impressed by the way that the Lyme Bay Holidays team dealt with a query that we had about unlocking one of the windows in the flat. Unlike our previous stays, we were only provided with a single key and the team weren't able to provide a second key. This limited the ability of our group to split up and do different things without needing to make sure that the person with the key was the first back to the flat. Having a second key is really useful in some cases :-)

- Tom, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback - we are pleased that you like our new bathroom. We are sorry you were inconvenienced by the lack of a spare key - this has now been rectified in the flat. We hope to welcome you again to 1 Coram Tower. Property owner Property Owner
