  • "Amazing stay which we would highly recommend."

    Very lovely property in a great location for Lyme Regis. The house is in excellent condition and was extremely clean. There is a very nice walk into town following the River Lim Path.

  • "Lovely house."

    Warm and comfortable. Some great artwork on the walls. Great location with a nice river walk down to the beach. Only minor issue is there is a good washing machine but nothing for drying. Could do with at least a folding clothes airer.

    Hi Paul Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. I’m really sorry that you didn’t find the airing rack for the clothes. You could have texted me and I could tell you where it was stored. So sorry for that issue. We will look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes Lorraine Property Owner

  • "Beautiful recently renovated cottage, everything feels like a professional holiday cottage and not someone’s lived in house."

    Immaculately clean, high quality linen, modern interior. The walk to Lyme Regis was easy, even with 3 young children. Highly recommended.
