“We loved staying at Avocet, such a great location and unique property.”

Being so close to the beach is wonderful! A few very minor points that would be nice to have amended in future: Clearer instructions for finding the car park (such as saying it is a private car park and giving the postcode/what 3words would be helpful), we struggled to find it (and we know Lyme quite well). Also, with this very hot summer - some lighter duvets would have been nice! We prefer to watch live TV - as this is a premium property, and not exactly cheap - it would be nice if that ...

“We stayed in Avocet in June for 4 nights during the heatwave.”

Firstly having access to a car parking space about 100m away was invaluable . The apartment is well furnished and comfortable and has the appliances and majority of utensils that you need (a fish slice would have been nice). We found the apartment cool on the first floor but very hot upstairs but were helped by asking for and being provided with a fan. Sleeping with the windows open was noisy due to nesting seagulls (we expected seagulls screeching) so that meant sleeping with the windows closed and as a result that made the bedroom very warm ( a top sheet would have been welcome) The outside decked patio areas are very comfortable with lovely views from the top but would benefit from an umbrella or shade of some sort. Location is superb being only 50m from the sandy end of the beach and the Cobb and a short walk along the promenade into town. Local restaurants such as Poco Pizza and Rockfish were excellent. Overall a very pleasant stay and we would recommend Avocet.

“Our holiday was changed from Kittiwake to Avocet afew days before we were due to go due to refurbishment of the apartment.”

Id just like to mention how great Sykes/Lyme bay holidays were at keeping me informed of the changes and giving me all the information I needed! The apartment was beautifully decorated with everything we needed, a fantastic sun terrace and balcony views over the rooftops to the sea and the town. We couldn't fault it, it was great! The only small thing was the entrance door,we found it quite difficult to open and close as the lock was not standard and the door did stick. I know its only a small thing but felt i should point it out. Apart from that our stay was really very good and the weather was fantastic! Thank you.

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, i will try to see what can be done about the door. Property Owner

The property

Avocet is a beautifully reconfigured split-level apartment, thoughtfully updated for the 2026 season to offer a characterful yet comfortable stay in one of Lyme Regis’ most sought-after positions. Set on Marine Parade, just moments from the seafront and the iconic Cobb Harbour, it provides an ideal base for a relaxed coastal break. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation has been designed to make the most of its setting. The first floor offers a comfortable lounge alongside a well-proportioned double bedroom with views across Marine Parade, served by a modern en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the open-plan kitchen and dining space forms the heart of the home, with exposed beams, feature skylights and a light, airy feel. Doors open onto a small balcony, providing a pleasant spot for a morning coffee or to catch the sea breeze. Also on this level is a spacious king-size bedroom with zip/link beds (can be made up as king or twin), along with a contemporary shower room and separate cloakroom. Outside, the tiered garden is a real highlight. Arranged across several levels, it offers a variety of seating areas to enjoy throughout the day, all with impressive views stretching over the beach, town and the Jurassic Coast beyond. Lyme Regis is a jewel on the Jurassic Coast, offering endless opportunities for adventure and relaxation. Stroll along the historic Cobb Harbour, wander the sandy beach, or take to the water for swimming, paddle boarding and other water sports. The South West Coast Path passes through the town, giving walkers access to some of the most spectacular scenery in England. Fossil hunting along the Jurassic Coast is a must for families, and the town itself is brimming with independent shops, galleries and excellent places to eat. For memorable days out, visit the Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth or head to Abbotsbury to explore its famous Subtropical Gardens and the unique Swannery. With its central location, refreshed interiors and exceptional outside space, Avocet is a great choice for couples, friends or small families looking to enjoy time by the sea in this much-loved coastal town.
