“Characterful bright cottage, with homely furnishings and lovely comfy bed.”

Short (and briefly steep) walk to the centre of Lyme; great to have the parking permit. Very welcome welcome pack, Thank you! Super to have a choice of reading matter but a few games would have been welcome - the cards and dominoes were both incomplete.. Well equipped kitchen; space is obviously limited but we only missed the convenience of a microwave. We had a lovely break and would happily book again, thank you!

Thank you for your lovely review. We love the welcome pack too. So handy if you’ve had a long journey. We’ve bought more games, even played them ourselves! Apologies for the delay in responding, thought I’d pressed send. Thanks again Best wishes Petra Property Owner

“Lyme Regis Cottage was a real pleasure to stay in.”

We particularly loved the sitting room and having the sun room right next door was a great bonus. We felt it was someone's home and we had the privilege of being allowed to stay there. I loved the books on the shelves everywhere and was grateful to find some inspiring art books. The good sized garden with two sitting areas was a very pleasant surprise. We had a small issue with the extractor fan not working and the smoke alarm going off. A man came round and fixed it within half an hour! He said he happened to be passing but even so, that was remarkably efficient. I think maybe a little more could have been said about the cottage being on a pretty steep slope. We are in our 70s and were a bit aghast when we arrived! But we treated it as our gym and after 5 days left feeling a whole lot healthier. Altogether it is a lovely property, quite close to all the Lyme Regis action but also quiet and peaceful. Obviously thoughtfully and carefully furnished and looked after by the owner. We loved her taste!

Hello, apologises for the delay in responding, but thank you for your lovely review. It’s really appreciated. The cottage is my home whenever I can be there, so it’s lovely to hear that you enjoyed it. I am sorry about the hills, they take no prisoners. I have calves of steel! Thank you again.

“A homely traditional cottage in a perfect location.”

We had a fantastic stay at Lyme Regis cottage and, travelling by public transport, the location was brilliant. Just 3 mins uphill to the Co-op and Tesco in the High Street and a few minutes downhill to the river and Town Mill. Bus stops and the seafront were also close by. The cottage was very cosy, with comfortable bedrooms and a good powerful shower. Thanks for the lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated. For future guests, it would help to have a new tin opener and a 2nd set of keys in the property would make life easier for separate comings and goings to save reliance on the keysafe. A microwave would make self catering much easier, but appreciate it would have to be fitted in somewhere. We would be very happy to return.

- Kathryn, September 2024

Good morning and thank you for your lovely review. We very rarely use the car, everything is so close and local buses and taxis are great. I’m glad you found all convenient. We are trying to find a suitable little microwave to fit in the kitchen and we’ll get another tin opener. Two keys are a good idea, thank you. We’d love you to return, the cottage was left beautifully. Best wishes and thank you again. Property Owner

The parking permit was a massive help too, thank you! We'll definitely book again if we come back to the area and will recommend to friends too.

“We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the cottage .”

..a fab location. Cute, charming cottage. The knifes in the kitchen could do with sharpening or replacing.

- Katharine, April 2024

Thank you for your lovely comments about the cottage. I’ll sort out the knifes being sharpened. Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Best wishes Petra Property Owner

The property

Lyme Regis Cottage is a Grade II listed, terraced cottage situated in Sherbone Lane in the centre of the picturesque seaside town of Lyme Regis, Dorset. Just paces from a selection of amenities and a sandy beach, this character abode is set over three floors and welcomes families for a splendid break on the Dorset coast. With its origins stretching back to Saxon times, Sherborne Lane is a mix of quaint and colourful period cottages of individual character and style. A pedestrian only street, the owner provides guests with a parking permit for the Woodmead Halls long stay car park, located close by. After a day of exploring local attractions, the lounge with its ceiling beams and ornamental original stove, is the perfect place to relax in. The adjoining kitchen, equipped with all the essentials for a week away, overlooks the pretty walled garden at the rear, where you can enjoy a touch of alfresco dining amongst the pretty cottage style planting. Arranged over three floors, stairs lead from the living area to the first floor, offering a double bed and bathroom, whilst the second-floor houses a twin bedroom. When you’re keen to explore, discover Lyme Regis’ iconic Cobb, a historic harbour wall dating back to the 13th century, is a symbol of Lyme Regis where you can stroll along this ancient structure and be treated to panoramic views of the town and the surrounding coastline. Lyme Regis boasts a collection of inviting beaches, with the sandy main beach a popular choice for sun-seekers and families. For those with a passion for literature and history, The Lyme Regis Museum provides a fascinating journey through the town's geological and maritime history, whilst foodies can sample a delightful array of restaurants and pubs, including The Pilot Boat and SWIM on the seafront both offering a good selection of local food and beverages. Nature lovers can explore the scenic trails along the South West Coast Path, providing panoramic views of the Jurassic Coast, plus the nearby Seaton Wetlands Nature Reserve offers a peaceful retreat with its trails and boardwalks alongside the River Axe and home to an abundance of wildlife. Visit neighbouring Charmouth and its Heritage Coast Centre on the beach where you can learn about the area's rich geology, get up close to Attenborough’s Sea Dragon and other fossil exhibits. Further afield, the coastal village of Beer is where you can watch fishermen hauling their catches on the beach or spend the day in Seaton and take a picturesque tram ride on the Seaton Tramway, alongside the River Axe Estuary and to Colyton.
