Harbour Heights Cottage

Air conditioning would be great - house really heats up!

But overall a wonderful property, excellently maintained and super clean.

Fabulous position for the view and central to everything in Lyme, very comfortable , with a wake up bedroom to view the sun rise.

welcome pack very appreciated. If we come back to Lyme we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else

Harbour Heights Cottage is delightful and the view is amazing.

We settled in comfortably and enjoyed the restful days. Really loved it. Just one thing went wrong - the dishwasher showed a malfunction and did not work from Tuesday evening. I tried to phone Lyme Bay Cottages to report the issue on Wednesday but there was no reply. I reported the problem on the Thursday but no-one came.

A fantastic property which is clearly loved.

Location is amazing. Very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. The views are amazing and access to the Cobb and the promenade walk to the town access is very easy. Rockfish is a really great fish restaurant and very very close. The fish shop just below the property provided us with superb fresh fish for several meals. I would highly recommend this property.

We loved staying here.

The view amazing. Great access to Lyme Regis. We will book again.

We spent a lovely Christmas at Harbour Heights Cottage.

The accommodation was first class - clean, comfy, warm, with a very generous welcome package, and the owners had even gone to the trouble of putting up some Christmas decorations and a Christmas tree and left a Christmas present. The view from the property is a joy to wake up to every morning, looking over the Harbour and the cobb and round to Golden Cap. All we had to do was walk down the garden, through the private gate and you are on the beach. We will definitely be returning in the spring.

The property was fantastic, and provided everything we needed for a relaxing week.

We truly appreciated the comfort and attention to detail throughout the house. We did notice a couple of areas that could be improved for future guests: The lighting at the bottom of the path could do with enhancing, as it was really dark in the evenings. The guttering above the patio doors may need some attention, as it appeared to be in need of maintenance due to water running over the top. These are minor points and did not detract from what was otherwise an excellent holiday. We look forward to returning in the future and will happily recommend Harbour Heights to others. PS An Hot Tub would be brilliant should you ever decide to install one Thank you again .. Rgds Richard and Donna

lovely home thank you thought there could be a few more provisions as it's a home vs hotel for example; - more dishwasher tables, washing tablets, - bin bags - foil - salt, pepper, oil, condiments just so we don't have to go buy supplies for 1 week - wouldn't cost much but would go a long way.

otherwise we love this house, have stayed before and hope to come back again next year! thank you

As everyone says, the location, accommodation and sea view are excellent.

Enjoyed our third stay at the cottage last week - marvellous location and views - visited Lyme many times over the last 12 years and think this is the best accommodation we have had.

Hope to return in future.

The property cleanliness was less than expected - the rugs were filthy and full of dust and dirt - we shook them outside before we left.

Especially for the price. There were many people passing up and down the pathway some very noisy. A handrail for the steps would be helpful for the elderly. A little dilapidated decoratively - needs a refurb. Location is amazing.

An amazing place, the view is incredible and feeling secluded but so close to the beach.

Restaurants and shops makes it the perfect location.

Harbour Heights is stunning, with incredible sea views.

We climbed the cliffs and scrambled from Pinhay Warren to Burton Bradstock. Paddle boarding at the lake and seaside fun along the Jurassic coastline. Many thanks for an amazing holiday. Tina & the Girls xxx

This is our third time staying here.

When we arrived, the beddings were unmade, bedrooms untidy and the floor looked like they hadn't been vacuumed. This was very disappointing for us as we were expecting it to be clean, tidy and beds made up like our previous 2 visits. That's the only negative feedback and first negative experience we have had with this accommodation. The property itself and the location and views are second to none.

We love this property - You are charging high end for it, so some little adjustments would be good.

BBQ was in a terrible condition! We couldn’t use it. Not the end of the world but if you planned to use it you would need to sort beforehand. Great location and overall very happy. Thank you.

The house was amazing, the welcome 'hamper' was very welcome, and lovely quality.

The view and location was incomparable! Sadly the building is so well built it holds all the heat, so meant sleeping at night was impossible, temperatures in excess of 24 degrees! Sadly you would not supply fans, which was more than disappointing considering we had paid ALLOT of money for a week's stay. That aside, I cannot recommend the property enough, and other than being too 'tight' to buy some fans for us, the service was pretty good.

Excellent location, faultless.

Our 2nd time here and overall really enjoy it. Lyme Regis itself is a lovely town, clean and well maintained by the Council As noted in the guest book the previous rentals found the patio parasol broken and they left it under the table. We managed to fix it However, For the cost of the holiday I do think there should be:- A TV in at least one of the bedrooms as I mentioned last time A shelf in the bathroom for toiletries not just the window sill The ceiling bulb in the 2nd bedroom has still not been replaced or the light is not working as was the case in October '23 The main bed is very firm, perhaps too firm for some guests The pillows were hard also The sheet is not a fitted one and does not stay in place. Consequently within minutes rucks up and becomes very tangled and uncomfortable There is still no obvious instructions as to how to dispose of food waste. There is no waste disposal in the sink and both dustbins say 'no food waste' on the lids. Finally there is a real lack of privacy from other guests in the house above as they make their way past the cottage to and from the beach. Some sort of screening would be of a real benefit

Excellent property very well presented and ideally placed with views of The Cobb and sea.

Very comfortable with everything you could want and we were blessed with fabulous weather this time. Hopefully back next year.

Lovely property with great position.

Very spacious. But there was a problem with ants. If I visited again I would bring my own pillows as the ones provided were not good

Superb property.

Very modern, spacious and well equipped. Excellent location with stunning views and local pubs in easy reach on foot. Highly recommend.

Would help to have handrail down steps to property.

A sign directing you to property. Found settees very uncomfortable. Apart from above it was a Fabulous property with amazing views to harbour and cobb. Everything in kitchen you could need and lovely welcome pack.. Very clean and lovely and warm. Overall would highly recommend.

Superb accommodation with fabulous views.

Would recommend to anyone.

A lovely stay as normal.

However two things 1. staying for the length of time we do and using both bedrooms we are concerned on the amount of space taken up in cupboards and wardrobes with spare bedding etc. Could this be reduced as we find ourselves living partially out of our cases. 2. When it rains at night the noise from the downpipe just outside the main bedroom is awful and we have to resort to stuffing a hand brush up the lower part of the downpipe to reduce the noise so we can sleep. Your thoughts on these 2 areas would be advantageous to us and I am sure to many of your other guests.

Lovely property and good location with wonderful views.

A few points to address:- 1) Check-in should be at least an hour earlier - 4pm far too late. 2). No bin or instructions to dispose of food waste. Both external bins say ‘no food waste’ 3). For cost of rental a TV should be provided in bedrooms.

The property is wonderfully positioned, is excellently designed and appointed.

It is totally let down by it being dirty and poorly maintained.

Pleased that there was blinds provided this year.

The wash hand basin waste has still not been cleaned out and so doesn’t run away properly. Could do with lights down the path leading to and from the property to the gate as unless you have a torch you cannot see after an evening out. Pity that the property isn’t available until after 4.00pm as the first day of the holiday is basically gone.

Beautiful property, well situated and glorious views.

Stayed in Lyme many times over the last 10 years and this is the best accommodation we have had. Spacious, well furnished and everything we needed. Will come again.

Modern and spacious property with superb views

We had a very good stay.

We have booked to visit again. We received wonderful service from Michaela-Jayne. She responded to all our inquires with efficiency and kindness.

We would like to have had another cutting board.

We used the one under the toaster when we weren't using the toaster, but it would have been handy to have another one. We didn't want to damage the beautiful kitchen worksurface. Similarly, there was nothing to put hot pans on when we took them out of the oven, so we had to improvise. The place was beautifully clean - we absolutely loved it. Thank you.

Location is superb.

The property has amazing views that you can enjoy from the comfort of the sofa or the main bedroom. We were there in November and it was lovely to snuggle up on the sofa and watch the waves crashing over the Cobb. Parking is just behind the property and, within minutes, we could walk to both the beach and the high street. The property is well equipped and spacious with great outdoor space.

Perfect in every way.

Really appreciated handwash with all sinks, dishwasher and laundry tablets and tassimo pods to try. So often, things like this are not provided so thank you very much

Fantastic location and had a great holiday.

However there were a few of problems. The door going into the main bathroom has fallen on the hinges and is scrapping on the floor and is very difficult to open/close and it has been like it for sometime because you can see the damage on the floor tiles. We tried to shimmy around the door all week so as not to cause further damage The bed mattress in the main bedroom needs replacing. Also not all the saucepans work on that hob.

The property was lovely and offered us a perfect place to enjoy Lyme.

The facilities at the property were also excellent. Unfortunately we did experience a few problems and this is where things were let down - this isn’t the fault of the property owner. We had a number of issues that I tried to raise with the holiday company but all apart from the wasps nest in the roof above the patio door were ignored - and this took a few days despite the website saying 24/7 support. The very slow running drainage from the bathroom sinks has clearly been raised by other visitors but has not been addressed. The skylight catches a lot of flies in spider webs - these then regularly drop on the island which makes eating and food prep there a risky and unpleasant business. Clearly these are not vacuumed in between stays which would have addressed the issue. The general cleaning also had some issues with crumbs and bits in the rugs and we cleaned the place on our first full day to address this. We were also relaxing on Saturday morning and a maintenance person decided to try and let themselves into the property - no knocking. Fortunately we had a key in the door which meant they had to knock. I found this a gross invasion of privacy. It was just to change over a kettle despite us having a working one. To put this into context, a few years ago we stayed at the property behind and our young son had left his favourite DVD in the apartment. The holiday company would not contact the following holidaymakers as they said it would be an unacceptable intrusion into their holiday, but somehow it was deemed OK to just attempt to walk in to an occupied holiday let! Again this complaint was ignored. We had a few other small issues, all of which I raised on multiply occasions and all of which were ignored. It also took a few weeks to get our holiday deposit back which took chasing. We have been staying at properties booked through Lyme Bay Holidays for nearly 20 years and were extremely disappointed by the lack of response to our numerous concerns. It was hardly a cheap holiday and I have no doubt the owner of the property is charged a sizeable management fee that they may wish to question.

Needs blinds in main area.

We had builders working next door and we had no privacy, also as garden path is shared. Basin in bathroom needs U bend cleaning to allow water to clear freely.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harbour Heights Cottage, the accommodation was clean, well equipped and of an excellent standard.

The view across the bay and the harbour was wonderful and we appreciated the provision of comfortable patio furniture when the weather was good enough to sit outside. The walk into the town along the seafront was pleasant and being able to access the Cobb and beaches was simple as Harbour Heights Cottage has such a good position.

Fabulous, everything just perfect!

We found Harbour Inn, Royal Standard very good for dinner. Lalquilla great Indian takeaway or eat in! Will be back next year.

Wonderful place, amazing views!

Thank you!

Beautiful cottage, cosh during rain!

So nice to be able to walk everywhere!

Superb accommodation, beautifully presented and amazing views.

We look forward to a return visit. Thank you very much for the welcome gifts.

Had a lovely break and the views from the picture windows fantastic, always something to watch.

The boats going in and out of the harbour and the waves crashing over the Cobb. Enjoyed the welcome pack and hope for a return visit.

Another amazing stay in the Cottage, which has the best views in Lyme!

Weather amazing. Fabulous sea swims. Delicious food at Largigi and tasty Baboo Gelato – best in South West! Could look at that view for days and never get tired of it!

It’s a great place to stay, has it all!

We’ve been coming for 3-4 years now, never disappointed. We look forward to our visit in October. Thank you for welcome gifts.

Wonderful views and a fantastic comfortable apartment.

First time in this Cottage and so glad we came.

Lovely, comfortable accommodation with an outstanding view and we were lucky with the weather (only one day of rain). Great to stay in a place with plugs and mirrors in all the right places. Note: Don’t forget to top up the bird bath, very well used!

Fifth visit in 5 years.

Amazing place to visit with “the girls”. With loads of things to enjoy in Lyme for all our different levels of activities. The firework display over the harbour was spectacular, and the views!!! I always leave feeling re-vitalised, relaxed and amazed what amazing countryside we have in the UK.

Glorious place to just hang out.

Everything you need is right here. Cottage is perfectly appointed, nothing missing. Don’t want to leave! Balm for the soul and perfect restful sleep. Thank you for having us!

What a perfectly situated cosy cottage!

Amazing views and such easy access to the sea front, no need to take the car. Happy days. Very clean accommodation and fully equipped, nothing missing at all. A very generous welcome pack too. Ate at Alexandra Hotel for birthday, plus Tom’s and had cosy drinks in the Royal Standard. No bad places.

Gorgeous couple of nights to re-group and revisit beautiful Lyme Regis.

This place has everything you need, perfectly appointed accommodation which means you are enticed to stay in and just be. All my needs are met! Thank you.
