Conybeare Cottage

We had a lovely stay on a very hot week, in this cool, clean and comfortable little house.

Perfect for two plus the dog. Situated near the top of the hill, it is very peaceful with a tiny garden with lots of shade. Lyme Regis is so beautiful, with plenty of great places to eat and drink, wonderful walks and incredibly clear water to swim in. But be prepared for the hills!

We had a great stay here!

The accommodation had everything we needed and we were easily able to explore Lyme Regis. The welcome pack was an added bonus!

A few things that need improvement: the double bed is not a double bed but a 3/4 bed (4 ft).

We assumed, as it was advertised as a double bed (4 ft 6”), that it would be that. My husband is tall and I’m on the portly side, so we did struggle with that. It needs addressing in the description! There were no drawers for underwear and small items to go in, so we had to use our suitcase.

Very comfortable home, well equipped in a quiet area.

It suited the three of us perfectly.

The house was exactly as described and was great for the 2 of us and our spaniel.

The only downside would be the back garden as there is no grass just a few green shoots and soil; we were very lucky as it was dry the week we stayed just with loads of acorns as there is a massive oak tree at the back. It would be helpful to have an indoor back door mat, as dog owners we never use the front door either her always the back. We put a towel down but there was still soil walked into the house. It would also be useful to have some oven gloves as we couldn’t find these and had to use the dish towel. The kitchen tap also had a leak but reported this before we left so hopefully this was fixed. We would stay again in the future if these bits were fixed.

Conybeare Cottage is a modern 2-bedroomed house, tastefully furnished and well equipped.

However, the property's description promises 'a welcome pack for your arrival', but when one wasn't forthcoming and I contacted Lyme Bay Holidays, I was told that the pack was no longer available and had been withdrawn. The property is at the top of a very long steep hill, this proved to be a real challenge for us, although we consider ourselves to be fairly fit retirees, so we had to change our holiday plans. The lack of a welcome pack and the steep hill should be mentioned in the property's listings, otherwise it is misleading to potential holidaymakers. We love Lyme Regis and have visited many times, I'm sure we'll return but an accurate and honest appraisal of a property is essential.

Very doubtful if two cars can park on the driveway.

The back garden needs work. The raised area is just soil and a few shoots of grass. The outdoor seating and barbecue has not been cleaned for a while. Extremely small bedrooms with no drawers in the larger bedroom. You need a car to get to the seafront as the walk is extremely steep coming back.

Although the cottage was very clean and as described, there were multiple things that previous holiday goers had mentioned would be useful and they still had not been added.

For example: there were no hand towels, no outdoor light (which is frustrating for a pet friendly cottage), the bin/recycling system was unclear. Two this I would add is that 1 tea towel for a week is not enough, especially for 3-4 adults, also fitted sheets on the bed would be far more suitable considering flat sheets always move. The cottage itself was lovely and reasonable for the location, but it is frustrating to read multiple people have previously offered feedback that still has not been resolved.

The house is beautifully decorated and relatively comfortable.

The lounge could use a footstool or a pouffe for an extra seat. Upstairs is lovely and really comfortable. The shower is really weak and its difficult to wash your hair properly. The walk back from town is difficult and not enjoyable and we are a relatively fit family. This should probably be mentioned. Car parks are very expensive in town.

Lovely little house.

Warm, cosy and well-equipped. A very useable kitchen. The only thing that might have been useful that wasn't there was a smaller mixing bowl than the gorgeous but enormous one that was? The whole house is beautifully decorated and the bathroom a pleasure to use. TV signal not great and some channels not available, but that's Lyme for you. Quiet area - felt safe. Thanks so much

Enjoyed our stay while in Lyme Regis visiting family.

A very clean and tidy house with modern bathroom and kitchen. The welcome pack was a nice touch which we appreciate. The back garden is enclosed which is ideal for the dog, although a light in the garden would be useful this time of year.

The accommodation is not an easy walk from town.

ie the final extensive hill not mentioned in the information. An outside light for the back garden would be advantageous. No where to hang coats etc.

Needed a towel in downstairs toilet.

Wardrobe sliding door needs to be repaired in main bedroom. Could do with some coat hooks on the doors.

Nice house in good location.

Well equipped with everything needed.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a lovely house.

It was very clean and comfortable and had all we needed. Only thing missing was some coat hooks! It would be helpful to have some in the hall and on the back of bedroom/bathroom doors. The garden was ideal for our dog - secure and enough space to play. Thank you.

We had a wonderful week, cottage exceeded our expectations, cannot fault it.

My only comment would be if you have mobility issues a car is a must as the cottage is at the top of aa steep hill.

Lovely property in a new housing estate.

Everything is immaculate. A real home from home, Comfy bed . There is a steep climb if you want to walk into Lyme Regis but this kept us fit.

Property on new build estate.

Not finished and now attracts anti social behaviour from.youths. owner not at fault. Messy street on approach, rubbish in road

The property is at the top of a challenging hill.

I would suggest it not suitable for people that did not have use of a car.

Would be helpful if there was some way to hold open the back gate whilst getting baggage inside, we had windy weather.

The overall experience was great.

Relaxing property and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils and a great welcoming package. There were however a couple of things unfortunately the main sheet for the bed had a small dried blood stain on it which was not nice and we had no way of changing it. We tried to hoover at the end but the Vacuum was full and had never been emptied for a long time. Also in the cloakroom there was what appeared to be brown spot splashes of perhaps coffee on the wall. Also every time we opened either the front doo or back door the lounge door to the hallway opened which meant our dog could have got out of the property. TBH none of the doors actually latch shut which is a poor builders fault not the owners. We cleared up our dog deposits but a number of them there were from other dog or dogs so we weren't clearing them up sorry.

Lovely little house, perfect for my friend, my dog and me.

Everything we needed, clean and nicely furnished.

We noticed several items as our very enjoyable week progressed.

1. The wardrobe doors of the main bedroom have not been fitted properly And kept coming off the guide rails. We used the other one in single room. 2.A stain on the ceiling just inside lounge door. (may be leak in bathroom Fittings) 3. Wings of lounge chair grubby need cleaning.

Overall pleasant house with all expected facilities however on the downside garden was covered in bits from the trees not helped by adverse weather conditions.

Dining bench seats were hard & uncomfortable requiring cushions. Beds are far too small for 2 adults resulting in poor sleep. Overall the house is situated on a new housing development surrounded by unsold properties which accentuated the feeling of isolation

Nice bolt hole for a few days.

Has everything you need for a few days away and is a nice modern house with everything you need for your stay. Our only other comments are that the wall is very high in the rear garden and so children and small dogs should be supervised while out there to prevent a fall, Over all a good stay.

A very nice place to stay a few days.

Exceptionally clean and well equipped. The only negative would be that elderly folk would find the walk back up the hill from the beach very challenging. We had a great time though.

We had a lovely family break, the holiday home was very cosy and really clean.

The welcome pack was a lovely touch. It was perfect for our children who are 10 and 12. The location is very hilly, we didn't mind, but it is a steep walk to the beach and back again. Its about 25 min walk. Only comments it had a brand new bbq but no utensils for it, grass was a light high, which was hard for us to keep clean with our dog. And the single bed was very squeaky. The pull out bed was fine. Lovely bedding, pillows and lovely towels. Would love to come back.

Coneybeare Cottage is located in a large new build housing estate but is in a good position for visiting the local area.

We had a problem with the TV which rather spoilt our evenings. We were unable to tune in to watch live TV programmes apart from through bbc iplayer. ITVX refused to work altogether. The house sharing the parking spaces are currently unoccupied but I think parking 2 cars per property will prove to be problematic. Having said that, we had a lovely weekend enjoying the sunshine. The garden was secure for our dog to enjoy.

We enjoyed a very cosy break in Conybeare Cottage.

The house has everything you need and is a real home from home. It’s really comfortable and decorated nicely. The hill is steep but so is everywhere in Lyme! The location is on a new development but that was no problem for us.

This was a great base for a walking weekend with a friend and my dog.

The cottage has easy access to the SW coast path and after a hard day walking, it was lovely to come back to a well equipped house with such comfy beds. Quiet location.
