    "This was our second stay at 1 Riverside Cottages."

    We loved it the cottage is such a great location and very comfortable. Our children loved the games, puzzles and toys too! Thank you for another wonderful stay we will be back!

    Thank you very much for your kind review. I saw, from the visitors' book, that the kids enjoyed seeing the dolphin (and they drew a lovely picture of it). Also, thank you from the cleaner for leaving the house so tidy Richard. Property Owner

    "The cottage is really lovely and the pictures do not do it justice."

    We had a wonderful stay with our toddler, who loved all the toys, games, and fossils. The cottage is ideally located along the river and a short stroll into town and to the beach (about a 10 minute walk). When we arrived there was a great selection of local treats, which made us feel very welcome. There is also a lovely garden. The property is in great condition too. We were hesitant because of some of the earlier reviews but they do not reflect our experience at all. The only thing that we could quibble about was that there was no loo roll at the property when we arrived. Given how well-stocked the property is, I think this must have been a housekeeping oversight. Other than that, a perfect stay.

    "This property has the potential to be a really great place to stay."

    It is nicely decorated, has good amenities and is only a short walk to the centre of lyme regis and the beach. However it could really do with some TLC and a thorough deep clean. The shower screen trim and grouting in the bath were mouldy and there was lots of dust especially on places like the bed frames and skirting boards. We found that the front door doesn't always fully lock and can just be pushed open and has a split in the front of it that let in a draft. We were unfortunate that the adjoined property had builders in all week so we ended up avoiding using the property much in the day as the drilling and banging was so loud.

    Thank you for your feedback and we hope you enjoyed your holiday. We have thoroughly investigated the points raised in your review. The door does fully lock for your safety and security. We have also checked the bathroom and found no signs of mould present. Regarding dust, as this is an older cottage, some dust buildup can naturally occur, but please rest assured that our cleaning team works diligently to ensure the property is well-maintained and clean for every guest. We appreciate your comments and we hope to see you again in Dorset soon. Property Owner

    Our 6th stay in this cottage, like coming home in some ways. Plenty to see, plenty to do, plenty of fossils to find.... we had lovely weather. Just to mention we found the duvet wasn’t thick enough, but other than that it was lovely. Thank you!

    "We really enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect."

    We felt the listing should have mentioned to bring your own oven gloves. The house it'self was equipped very well and very comfortable. We didn't use the car for several days, it was great to be able to walk into town and explore. Plenty to do and enjoyed the discovery trail.We would recommend to friends and family and would stay in the property again. There were a couple of cobwebs but I think that was down to the time of year. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

    "Overall we enjoyed our stay."

    The location is great, perfect for walking into town. The nearby playground was an unexpected bonus for the kids. We did struggle with the under counter fridge freezer which is too small for a family of four unless you’re mostly eating out. It would be good to have more towels, two bath towels per person would have been much better. And a warning for those with adventurous kids, we couldn’t figure out how to lock the door from the inside….

    "Absolutely loved our stay at Riverside Cottage."

    The cottage was just perfect and gave the four of us (two adults, two children) the most fantastic short break. It’s decorated beautifully so better than home from home. Kitchen is well equipped so we ate in each night. Nice to have a holiday rental with better than basic crockery etc - super big mugs for morning cuppa! Weather was mixed so happy it was warm and cosy and puzzles and DVDs kept us busy! The house is nice and spacious especially compared to St Ives cottages we’re used to so it was great to have plenty of room for four. Location was great, lovely path by the river Lynn leading straight from the front garden into town and to the sea. Parking was a big bonus and second car we easily managed to get a spot just up the road. Definitely booking to come again next year!

    "We enjoyed our stay in 1 Riverside very much."

    Any maintenance issues were attended to promptly. The bed was very comfortable. The lined curtains were excellent in the bedroom. We found the induction hob difficult to use and would have appreciated instruction leaflets for this and the oven. The television was far too complex for us and the owner exchanged it for a simpler version which suited our needs perfectly. We would love to stay in this cottage again but as we are now in our eighties we would need to have a walk-in shower, rather than a shower in the bath. A great holiday - many thanks.

    We love the river flowing outside and seagulls waking up early. Beautiful beach and lovely town. We enjoyed dinner at The Rockpoint Inn and a bakery breakfast order at The Town Mill. We love it here and it was also carnival week so very exciting. We'll be back.

    "This property is over-priced and does not present particularly close to the photographs."

    The mugs were all brown stained, lighting sockets and lighting in general appeared shoddy and only partly working. The lamp in the main bedroom does not work. All the windows frames are in poor condition with rusty fittings. It presents as a property given a cheap make-over twenty or more years ago spending the minimum.

    We are sorry to hear that the property did not meet your expectations. The owner has visited the property, and also a member of our team. The photos and marketing are a fair representation of the property. The majority of guests who have stayed, have been happy with the property, and indicated that they plan to return. We hope you enjoyed your time in Lyme Regis. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

    We felt however compared to recent holiday cottages we have stayed in it was poorly presented, tired decor and a distinct lack of home comforts. We thought for the price we paid we would be getting something quite luxurious but this was not the case.

    "The cottage was in a quiet position with a pleasant walk into Lyme Regis and Uplyme."

    We found the cottage chilly even with the heating on. The staircase was quite steep and we feel that a handrail from top to bottom handrail would be safer and a lick of paint. The TV sound wasn't great. The twin bedroom needs an adult wardrobe and drawers. The lighting above the kitchen table wasn't great. An oven glove would be useful. Saying all of that we enjoyed our stay.

The property

Nestled into the quaint seaside of Lyme Regis, Dorset, 1 Riverside Cottages presents a tastefully renovated traditional cottage with handy off-road parking, making this a great spot to explore the town centre just a short walk away.

This cottage sleeps four and is therefore perfect for families.

Stepping through this property, you are sure to be charmed by the spacious open-plan living area, where generous windows soak the space in natural light, creating an airy feel in this homely cottage.

A sitting area with a selection of sofas and a woodburning stove offer a place to sit and enjoy the opulence of this renovated traditional cottage, and when mealtimes call, make your way to the kitchen where a delightful layout and ample amenities will encourage you to cook up a storm, presenting it on the central dining table provided.

With such a wonderful space downstairs, you will be pleased to see that the same care and attention has been paid to the bedrooms, beginning with a king-size with calming hues of sage and cream, a view over the lovely garden and picturesque surroundings of the property and extra seating, as well as the addition of a homely patchwork quilt, and the twin room carries the same calming décor, with decorative stars lining the walls, making this the perfect space for the kids to snuggle down for the night.

When in need of a refreshing shower or a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles, the bathroom will provide you with both, continuing the sage theme of the rest of the house.

Outside, you will not be disappointed, because this cottage provides you with not one but two gardens, a rear and a front, both with a patio and furniture, perfect for morning coffees before beginning your day, and with the raised patio at the back of the house providing a more private spot. The stunning seaside town of Lyme Regis offers activities in abundance, famous for being the heart of the Jurassic Coast, encouraging visitors to enjoy walks along the bays and harbours, and you can even look for fossils amongst the rocky shores of Monmouth Beach and Lyme Regis Fossil Beach.

If you love history and wish to explore the local heritage, head over to one of the tow local museums or a short drive away you will find historical sites including Axminster Heritage Centre, Blackbury Camp and Maiden Castle.

With so many eateries to choose from, the town will leave you spoilt for choice, with cafes serving tea and cake, a variety of cuisine at local restaurants and pubs where you can recline in the evening with a glass of your favourite beverage.

For animal lovers, the perfect day out will be a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary, Wildlife Park or Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, a great day out for the whole family.

Make a family holiday you will remember with a stay at 1 Riverside Cottages.
