"We spent a lovely week at Marnie’s Rest."
The chalet was lovely and completely suited all our needs. This was our second stay in Lyme Regis and this particular accommodation was better for us, as it was close to the beach, shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend a stay here. The only downside was it was very tight for parking and very difficult to get in and out, especially when all the chalets were occupied. However, this didn’t spoil our week away.

"Brilliant thank you"

"We had a fabulous week at Marnies rest helped by the beautiful weather, Extremely well appointed kitchen and very nice to have a front and back terrace."
The washing machine and great facilities were an added bonus! We would love to come again!!

"He parking outside was impossible for us, because parallel parking couldn’t be under taken with other cars parles either side."
An alternative parking instruction would be useful. The carpet in the lounge needs a feel clean.

"Unfortunately the beds are terrible especially the mattress in the twin room."
I did complain after the first night and at the office in person but got no help. The mattress springs could be felt sticking into you and the mattress squashed completely down to the metal frame and was noisy. It was unbearable, very poor quality and ruined any rest that I was hoping for. The place is situated on a very steep hill with difficult parking which wasn't explained, again I rang the office but got no help as they didn't know the parking arrangements they said. There could have easily been a dishwasher fitted into the kitchen but there was just a water heater which wasn't instant to wash up, all the crockery is in boxes there are no cupboards and some of it was not clean, this is not exactly modern. The rubbish rules are ridiculous as you have to carry your bin bags down to the large bins near the seafront this is a long way up and down a hill I had to get someone else to do this for me as I cannot lift or carry heavy bags from a weeks rubbish. Overall it wasn't comfortable, there was a musty smell in the property it's not got modern enough equipment in it and for nearly £1000 there's to many rules for example stripping the beds putting it in bags removing carrying rubbish etc this doesn't happen in a hotel ! I am disappointed with my stay I am not rested because of the terrible bed I felt like I was doing the housekeepers job and my £1000 was not well spent. I did not receive any help from any booking agent.

"We had a lovely stay at Marnie's Rest and had lots of fun."
We had everything we needed and loved being so close to the sea. We had a brilliant time in Lyme Regis - fossil hunting, playing on the beach, visiting the Aquarium & museum and eating lots of yummy food & ice cream. Thank you!

Recycling had to be carried down a flight of steps to boat yard and you had to find a key to open bins so we took all our recycling home as we have adequate services to collect it

"What a beautiful property!"
Very nice touches, furnishing and everything you'd need to make this a comfortable stay. Literally a minute from The Cobb and only a little further to pubs, eateries and the town.

The property
Marnie’s Rest, an attractive and well-presented chalet is located only a stone’s throw away from the seafront in Lyme Regis in Dorset.
With views over the iconic Cobb Harbour and within easy reach of amenities, this is an idyllic location for a couple or family looking to enjoy a traditional seaside holiday in Dorset. All on one level, the bright and welcoming living area provides the perfect spot to unwind after a day at the beach with a cosy sitting area, Smart TV and bistro style dining table and chairs for mealtimes.
The adjoining kitchen is perfectly equipped with bespoke handmade kitchen units and overlooks a rear courtyard, complete with chairs perfectly positioned to sit and enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sun come up over Golden Cap.
The two bedrooms are well-furnished and include a double and a twin bedroom, with a spacious and well-fitted family shower room for when you need to freshen up. A large, decked veranda situated at the front of the chalet is the ideal spot to enjoy some alfresco dining or to simply sit quietly with a book and appreciate this most enviable of seaside locations. Just a short stroll will take you to the famous Cobb harbour and Marine Parade leading into the heart of Lyme Regis with its excellent selection of restaurants, independent shops, and galleries.
Popular activities include watersports, taking a boat trip from the harbour or exploring the fossil hunting beaches on this popular stretch of the Jurassic Coast. When it comes to enjoying a day out, families will delight in the Axe Valley Animal Park, a small and friendly zoo situated in the beautiful countryside of the Axe Valley and home to a variety of animals from around the world, from antelopes to zebras.
The tramway in neighbouring Seaton, follows a picturesque route along the River Axe estuary through two nature reserves to Colyford and Colyton. Marnie’s Rest makes the perfect spot for a family seaside break to remember.
Although on one level, there are two steps up to the front to access the chalet. Please bear this in mind when booking.
