Christine June 2025

“We loved the decor in this apartment and its proximity to the seafront.”

Parking was easy and good location to visit Lyme Regis & other places in the area. We were not aware how steep the roads are into the town, so may choose a property nearer to the beach if we visit Lyme Regis again as car parking charges can be quite expensive. We did have a lovely holiday in this property though as it was comfortable and had everything we needed.

- Christine, June 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words, we're really pleased to hear you loved the décor and enjoyed the apartment’s location and comfort. It’s great to know you had a lovely holiday and found the parking easy. You're absolutely right that some of the roads to the sea front can be steep, but we always recommend the gentler riverside route into town, which many guests find much easier and more enjoyable, especially if they have a dog! There’s also a reliable and affordable eco taxi service available for those who prefer not to walk. While properties closer to the beach can be tempting, it’s worth noting that most of them don’t include free parking with your stay—something we’re glad to be able to offer. We’d love to welcome you back again in the future! David and Karen Property Owner
James June 2025

“Lyme Zest accommodation was absolutely perfect for our stay in the resort,clean and very well equipped for a perfect holiday break with good spacious and very comfortable and affording a safe place for our little dog to enjoy our experience.”

Everything thought of in respect of making the holiday enjoyable with the well situated holiday home,and would highly recommend to my family and friends.

- James, June 2025

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, you and your family and friends are welcome back at Lyme Zest any time! David and Karen Property Owner
Helen May 2025

“Fabulous flat in a good location.”

Found some super routes down to the seafront..all of theses are marked on a map in the folder so that was really useful. The Roman/ river route was very pretty. Very clean apartment had everything we needed. Beds really comfortable that makes such a difference. Plenty of storage. Nice outside decking balcony.Weather was beautiful the whole holiday so we were very lucky. Would return to this flat for sure.

Thanks so much for your feedback, we look forward to welcoming you back at Lyme Zest! Karen and David Property Owner

“Needless to say, just like everyone else, we've loved our stay here because quite frankly, there isn't a thing not to like.”

Thank you for the kindness of including the wine and for making your 'happy place' temporarily ours too.

Caroline May 2025

“What a lovely 'happy place'.”

A beautiful apartment, so quiet and peaceful, great location, we loved being close enough to walk down to the shops and beach as the sun was shining the whole 3 days! We loved the pictures and trinkets that made it feel so homely... and the welcome wine. Thank you

- Caroline, May 2025
Charlotte May 2025

“What a joy!”

From the décor, artwork to the well stocked kitchen. I look forward to coming back in the summer to watch the sunset over Golden Cap from your terrace.

David April 2025

“The property is in a good location and was clean and tidy.”

The facilities were good, however, the beds, chairs and sofa lacked suitable comfort. The crockery was limited and lacked suitable sizes for hot drinks.

- David, April 2025

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really glad to hear you appreciated the property’s location, cleanliness and the facilities provided. We’re sorry to hear that the comfort of the furniture wasn’t quite what you’d hoped for. The pieces have been carefully chosen to suit the space and layout of the flat, aiming to strike a balance between practicality and style. Regarding the crockery, we’ve found the current selection has generally met guests’ needs, and with a dishwasher available, we hope it offers our guests an added convenience during their stay. That said, we do appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind. Property Owner
Jeff Apr 2025

“We had a fantastic stay at Lyme Zest.”

The apartment was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly need for a stay by the sea. Make sure you walk by the river down to the town and sea front, it’s much prettier than using the main road! Lyme Regis itself is lovely, with lots of great places to eat and lots of fossils to find (we recommend the fossil walk organised by the museum.) We will definitely come back to Lyme Regis and when we do, we will definitely stay at Lyme Zest again.

- Jeff, Apr 2025
Hannah Brunt Feb 2025

“We stayed at Lyme Zest in January 2025 and had a wonderful experience.”

Lyme Zest is a stylish and luxurious apartment, just a short 10-minute walk from the beach. The apartment was immaculate, and without a doubt, the best-equipped holiday home I’ve ever stayed in. There is a generous amount of chic decor , creating a welcoming 'home-from-home' atmosphere. The high ceilings enhance the sense of space and luxury, while the view from the decking over the coastal valley added to the positive experience of our stay. The accommodation was flawless, and I’ll certainly be rebooking in the future.

- Hannah Brunt, Feb 2025
Mrs H January 2025

“Lovely property in a great location Well equipped and set up and would be lovely in the summer.”

Struggled with the electric heaters until found the information leaflets in a drawer, and the cupboards were too high for two short people and only found the steps in the cupboard the day before leaving. Perhaps a little more sign posting in the information folder would be helpful. Perhaps a couple of USB charge points somewhere too. Great accommodation though, loved it.

- Mrs H, January 2025

Thanks for the feedback, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay! Lyme Zest Property Owner
Rebecca January 2025

“Absolutely lovely New Year’s stay at Lyme Zest for my daughter’s birthday and to blow out the cobwebs after Christmas.”

Everything was perfect, the kitchen was very well equipped and the apartment was not only really well appointed but also really lovely and cosy! Lovely views and a short walk into town, fab.

- Rebecca, January 2025

Melissa and Remi Nov 2024

“We have stayed a couple of times at Lyme Zest in Lyme Regis and really love the place.”

We have visited with our two children and also with friends, two completely different types of break, but it was ideal for both. It is clean, tastefully decorated, in a good location and with a nice outdoor space. We even made a couple of minor improvement suggestions which were implemented by the next time we visited. It has good parking, right outside the property. There is a bit of a steep walk down into the centre of town and beach which might not be ideal for anyone with mobility issues but we enjoyed the walk.

- Melissa and Remi, Nov 2024
David October 2024

“Perfect! Location is super and it’s a clean and beautiful apartment.”

I would certainly recommend it and book it again when I will go to Lyme Regis

Sian Oct 2024

“We have just returned from a short break at Lyme Zest.”

It was located in a very quiet area, with views over the town. Everything inside is pristine and spotless. I have never visited a holiday home that is so well equipped. It is difficult to think of anything that we may have needed. There are lots of great bars, pubs and restaurants in the town. We had some great meals. The local beer, Palmers, is very good if that’s your thing! We even went to a concert at the Marine Theatre. It was a very relaxing and comfortable week. As others have noted, the walk back up is steep. We used Eco Cabs, the number is in the binder, who were very reasonable and efficient. We will be back!

- Sian, Oct 2024
Karen Athol & Flo Oct 2024

“What a beautiful comfortable holiday home this is.”

Great location in Lyme Regis, very well equipped and thought out. The owners even provide a cosy bed for the dog which ours very much appreciated. Easy to walk into town along the river straight to the micro brewery, very handy! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit Dorset as there are so many place to visit on the gorgeous Jurassic coast.

“Lyme zest was home from home, with all that we needed to make Ower holiday one of the best we have had in Dorset.”

Just two things no cupboard space to put food, plus no iron or bord ? Apart from this nice property great location.

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll take this on board! Lyme Zest Property Owner
Phil and Heather Brittain Sep 2024

“We had a 5-night stay in Lyme Zest during July/August 2024 and absolutely loved it.”

To be fair, we had the most perfect weather imaginable but it was topped off by staying in this lovely apartment. The owners have clearly made an effort to make you feel welcome. The bottle of wine was a lovely touch. The apartment itself is beautifully appointed. It's been newly refurbished and had everything we needed for ourselves, our two boys and our dog. It is a good 10-15 minute walk to town and 20 minutes right to the beach although we weren't hurrying so you could probably do it more quickly. As other reviews have said, the walk back is very much uphill but it's Lyme Regis - you expect a few hills! Best route is down the path to the side of the property and then a lovely walk along the river into town. The next time we're planning to come this way, we'll definitely look to stay at Lyme Zest again.

- Phil and Heather Brittain, Sep 2024
Janette August 2024

“What a wonderful apartment, very well equipped and furnished to the highest standard.”

Location was perfect, especially having your own car space. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need, particularly good pans, trays, crockery and utensils, although a spare cupboard to put your own food in (eg cereals, bread etc) would be helpful. An extra shelf in en suite to put your own toiletries on would also be helpful but facilities were spotless with a really good shower.

- Janette, August 2024

Joanne August 2024

“Beautiful apartment, super clean and loved the wine!”

Beds are super comfy and plenty of room. Only issue we had was due to the location and our senior dog she couldn't manage the walk back from the town uphill. This shouldn't deflect from the beauty of this holiday home, just one to be aware of if you have an elderly fur baby :) Thank you so much!

- Joanne, August 2024

Jennifer August 2024

“We had a lovely 2 night stay here.”

The property is spacious and well kept with a lovely balcony to relax on (ignoring the carpark below). The location is slightly out of the town and up a fairly steep hill, but perfectly manageable if you are reasonably fit (our 5 year was fine, but younger might need some encouragement). I would definitely recommend and would be happy to rebook.

“Lovely refurbished apartment with everything you need.”

Close to pubs and down the hill to Lyme Regis beach area. Very well situated to visit rest of Dorset, Devon and Somerset. The only thing we didn't like was the sofa and chair, not very comfortable, but couldn't fault anything else.

“Excellent stay at Lyme Zest, beautiful equipped and spotlessly clean.”

Lovely views from the patio. Walk to the centra aprox 10 minutes. Beware of the big hill coming back, but the X51 & X53 buses run regularly

Richard May 2024

“The property was as described on the web page.”

The essentials such as bathrooms and beds were exceptional, as was the wi fi (becoming very important almost essential) and parking. We realize the property has only been in use for about eight months but the decor was very good, unmarked and the variety of pictures on the walls interesting. Are they really covers of long playing records in the wall or a photo?. Should we want a return visit to west Dorset in the future, we would use the property again.

- Richard, May 2024

Thanks for the feedback, we’d love to welcome you back! Lyme Zest Property Owner
Neil April 2024

“Great new apartment.”

Really well fitted out and we loved the quiet location albeit still just 10 minutes walk from central Lyme Regis. Great little kitchen space with ample equipment which we enjoyed so not having to eat out all the time. My only suggestion would be a larger bed in the main bedroom. The room is big enough to comfortably fit a king size bed rather than the standard double currently in place. That said, we loved our stay and would definitely come back for our next visit to the area.

- Neil, April 2024

Thanks for the great feedback, look forward to welcoming you back! Lyme Zest Property Owner

“Great accommodation, clean and well designed in all areas.”

Excellent location for exploring Lyme and surrounding area. Quiet part of the town, private car parking very convenient for access to the flat. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others - very happy with our 5 days stay. Thank you.

John Martyn November 2023

“Very clean, warm and welcoming.”

It was located further out of Lyme than we expected but maybe we didn't properly interpret the wording of the listing. Everything we needed was there, including a hair dryer still in it's box. No one had altered the clocks after the end of summer time. They remain an hour wrong

“First class accommodation except for the television signal unabled us to watch programs.”

The outside steps are dangerous especially at night with no lights . They require some indication as to where the edge is in the day ( white line). On occasions stumbled . Heavy bulky cups 1 star. Hob 1 star. Overall 10 star. Kind regards.

- David, October 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear that the tv signal was poor during your stay, we could not find any record of the issue being reported to us and so have now organised for our team to take a look. We will also investigate the outside steps and contact the owner. We hope you enjoyed your time in Lyne Regis. The Lyme Bay Team We can confirm the outside lighting has now been adjusted to stay on later. Thanks for the feedback! Lyme Zest Property Owner

The property

Lyme Zest is a delightful, ground-floor apartment located in Victoria House in the picturesque coastal town of Lyme Regis, Dorset. Formerly the station hotel, this spacious and solidly built Victorian property has been recently converted into luxurious apartments with superb views over the town to the sea and coastline beyond. Typical of the period, the apartment has high ceilings and large windows providing plenty of natural light, with an enviable outside terrace for those wishing to relax and take in the seaside air. With many stylish and exquisite personal touches throughout, this is a wonderful choice for couples, families or friends looking to spend time enjoying a beautiful part of Dorset. The apartment is bright and welcoming with an open-plan living area making you feel right at home. All tastefully-styled throughout, the apartment has a well-equipped kitchen with dining area and cosy seating area where you can relax with a good book or film. Large doors open onto the terrace which is the perfect spot for alfresco dining with wonderful views of the Jurassic Coastline as your backdrop. When it comes to nighttime, there are two bedrooms, a double with en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom, together with a family bathroom. Lyme Regis is a seaside town noted for its family-friendly beaches, centuries old Cobb Harbour and unspoilt surrounding countryside. A short walk from the apartment takes you to the town centre where you will find good shopping facilities for day-to-day needs, together with a wonderful array of independent shops selling local produce and gifts. Food lovers will enjoy the great selection of eateries available including fine dining establishments such as Toms or The Oyster and Fish House while the many pubs and restaurants serve a good selection of local food and beverages. Lyme Regis seafront boasts a sandy beach with paddle boarding and other water sports for you to try. Regular boat trips run from the 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. Situated on the beautiful and unspoilt Devon and Dorset ‘Jurassic Coast’ the area is popular with walkers and the nearby South West Coastal footpath takes in pretty seaside locations and fishing villages and rewards walkers with spectacular far reaching coastal views towards Chesil Beach and Portland on a clear day. The Jurassic Coast bus route also passes close by. 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 sitting 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 tram ride along the river Axe estuary through nature reserves to Colyford and Colyton. Other popular days out include The Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth or Abbotsbury with its acclaimed swannery and subtropical gardens. With so much to see and do, Lyme Zest is a fabulous choice for your next seaside break.
