Cumberland Cottage

We loved Cumberland cottage, lovely and comfortable and clean.

Lovely views across over the sea. Everything was there in the cottage did not want for anything else. The only problem was it was a little too far out of the town to walk and up a steep hill, although it was on a bus route or you would have to take the car. But we had a lovely time.

Great property in a great location!

A beautiful cottage, very cosy and warm.

Extremely comfortable with a light and airy living room. Ideally placed for walking into Lyme Regis. Sea view and a lovely little garden well stocked with plants. One of the nicest places we have stayed in. Highly recommended.

Lovely cottage with great views.

Parking for 2 cars and secure safe area for our dog. Nice surprise that it was decorated for Christmas

We had a lovely time, the modern extension part was fab.

The log fire was so nice when lit. Comfortable beds and living area. The underfloor downstairs heating was brilliant but we would have liked more control on the upstairs heating as it came on and off too early. Sea views were lovely. We will be booking again for next winter.

Complaint sent in

Great place very good standard Maintained very well we had issue day 2 it was sorted next day very good would go again to this property

Great location and parking.

...such a plus for Lyme Regis. Quite a wriggle to move our 2 cars.... minor problem!! We nearly bought this cottage years ago!!

Our first stay in Cumberland Cottage and hopefully it will not be our last.

The location was perfect for us (we've had steeper hills to climb!) being not too far from the shops and promenade. The parking space was a huge bonus and the traffic noise didn't really bother us. The cottage was spacious and on arrival we, and our little dog, immediately felt at home. Instructions for using the TV etc were clear as were times for putting out recycling and waste collections. The two weeks flew past and we would love to return in the not too distant future and that is the best recommendation. Thank you. We would also like to thank Robyn? from Sykes Cottages who went above and beyond in helping us locate the exact position of the cottage in our first enquiries before making the booking.

Really comfortable and nice cottage with a sunny and dog-safe garden.

Lovely sea view from first floor and raised decking in garden. Some noise from busy road into Lyme.

This is a spotlessly clean cottage with off street car parking.

It has a very comfortable bed and a simple to operate separate shower (downstairs) with lots of hot water. Everything is well maintained and working. Very practical, with room for toiletries in the bathroom upstairs, enough wardrobe space etc and a mirror near socket for hairdryer (it’s the small things that please my wife) most sockets have USB’s. The kitchen is small, but well equipped but didn’t get a lot of use as we don’t ‘cook’ on hols. The lounge/dining room is big, it has lots of opening windows and doors which make it spacious and airy, and if the weather is iffy there is always the Sky TV. There is a lovely front garden plus a raised composite decking area to the side with a view of the sea with a patio table and chairs which we used a lot. The drive is big enough for one medium size SUV to drive in, and with a bit of shuffling drive out, no reversing onto road. From the car park opposite you can access steps down to the end of the promenade for a fine walk into town. The road outside is a main route into Lyme Regis and there is road noise, especially at peak times. And it is a bit of a hill (definitely seems further coming back after a wine or two) the stairs are also maybe a tad steep. So anyone young or old with limited walking/stability might have to take this into consideration. Lyme Regis was great fun, we had a lovely holiday, with brilliant weather, (bit warm for our elderly black dog) and we were very happy with the cottage, and would happily return. Suggestion wise, the site photos need updating and perhaps a few small nibble bowls plus maybe a cafetière to use on the sunny decking area at breakfast time (and a suggestion book?)

Lovely cottage our 3rd time, perfect location, and having an enclosed garden is perfect for our little dog , drive way an absolute bonus as a lot of cottage’s in Lyme have no parking!

! only one thing, couldn’t get my head around the central heating as it got quite cold upstairs, but loved the log burner and free logs big thank you to Lyme Bay Holidays and especially the owner, Lynne, Gavin & Maisie x

Great cottage.

Welcome pack a nice touch. Great location and sea view a bonus. Single beds very hard and uncomfortable but probably meant for children. We were 4 adults. Enjoyed our stay over the xmas period.

Super cottage for a couple with a dog.

Lounge area was excellent - so comfortable. Logs provided for stove was thoughtful too. Only issue related to upstairs heating but maintenance were very quick to attend and remedy the fault. Welcome hamper was a lovely touch too. As it’s December, you do need to change summer duvet on bed. We had to use the single duvet on top to keep warm! But overall a wonderful long weekend. We highly recommend!

The property is in a great location with excellent views over towards Golden Cap.

Well located for a short walk to the town leaving your car at the property. It also offers very secure gated parking and a secure garden for dogs. We particularly liked the lounge with its vaulted ceiling and b-ifold doors onto the garden and sunny aspect. The only negative is the low water pressure which was particularly noticeable when using the showers as well as the water temperature which even on the highest bar setting was still only warm.

tumble dryer or somewhere to dry clothing would be helpful, otherwise all ok

A wonderful stay at Cumberland Cottage, we were blessed with such beautiful weather, it was lovely to make good use of the great sun terrace, a lot of thought has gone into the design of garden, parking area and terrace.

Very clean, everything you need is provided, even down to the dishwasher tablets. Fantastic welcome pack, a great thought. When we arrived bins were full, but a quick email next day all sorted, it would be a great idea if you could print off the council’s collection days, in welcome book it is printed rubbish collected every Friday we looked on website it is printed to say Monday’s so I think this is the confusion, we will definitely book this lovely cottage again and I will be recommending. Thank you

Lovely stay at the property (hottest week of the year :-)).

Likes: Location Lounge + bi-fold doors Bed comfort Garden & decking area Areas to improve: Sofa - whilst comfortable, I wonder what is lurking in that fabric.. Not a fan of the downstairs 'airplane-style' toilet altho I understand why you may have needed to go that route. Latch rather than a bolt on the small gate (if keep the bolt, needs lubrication)

Excellent property highly recommend

Lovely comfortable place to stay.

Easy and safe parking. Sky TV if you want to watch the telly but this is such a lovely area to visit why would you want to?! As Cumberland Cottage is at the top of a hill the walk to Lyme Regis bay is easy but the walk back can be challenging! There was an issue with the wheely bins which were already full when we arrived but a quick phone call to Lyme Bay Holidays soon sorted this out. This was our second stay and I'm sure we'll be back again at some point.

The cottage needed a good clean, and refreshing, decor, paint work and furniture all looking very sad, on the plus side, we have a small dog and the garden was very secure for him, also loved off road parking.

The cottage is situated on a busy road, opposite a large car park, which has cars and bus arriving daily, very noisy.

Lovely property in a great location.

Good facilities. Well maintained. It is worth warning people that there is a fairly steep hill or steps down to town and beach. It was fine for us but we had considered bringing my older parents and they would have struggled.

We had enjoy the place but shame not good weather, good fun we had played our games and I would like go back again

We think this is the best holiday stay that we have had in Dorset.

We love the area and have had several visits. This holiday let is in a great location for walks for us and four legs. Tried to book again for September but they're full....not really surprised. We only have positive things to say about this place and we loved the sun terrace. Will definitely be staying here again. Many thanks

Lovely property and welcome pack.

The rooms are comfortable and clean with good facilities. Sadly we feel that the outside doesn’t live up to the inside. The garden although when landscaped was obviously lovely it is now very tired and not maintained. Couldn’t see the sea view as the hedge was overgrown. The grass wasn’t cut and the borders are overgrown with weeds and nettles. Also sat on chair on the deck and the chair leg collapsed through the decking which is rotten. Bit unsafe and needs attention. Shame as the weather was beautiful but couldn’t enjoy sitting outside. The TV wouldn’t turn on after the 3rd day even though we renewed the batteries in the control, not the end of the world but as it’s a long walk to town sitting in during the evenings was left a little boring.

On arrival we were a little disappointed, the outside and grounds of the cottage could do with a little TLC.

..The bin and parking area need a tidy up and weeding. And all the windows need a good clean. However on entering the cottage, what a difference. Lovely and clean, well equipped with more than adequate seating and two lovely comfortable bedrooms with nice comfy beds. Upstairs and downstairs toilets are brilliant...this place is in a great location for exploring the Jurassic coast. Loads of parking space, if your canny you could get 3 medium sized cars in, and a beautiful view from the garden of the bay. Bus stops right outside the property for the coastliner service that runs hourly from 9am till 7am...For these reasons we would definitely recommend this cottage for your break and we will book Cumberland cottage again.

Great little cottage but we did find that the recycling bins were not emptied also the general rubbish bin was again full so had to take our own rubbish with us every day to get rid of also behind bins were dirty underwear and dirty nappies also bags ,only found this when we put the general bins out for collection which was done on friday 2nd june

We had a v nice three day break.

Parking for two was tight and reversing out a little tricky. The car park and bus stop outside were busy (which gave the dog rather a lot to bark at!) And well lit, so the blinds and curtains were great.The welcome pack was ok but we had thought that it might contain breakfast items and consequently needed to go shopping, so best to bring them with you. Very warm house so no need to light the wood burner. It is a fairly steep walk back from town or up to the bluebells but too far. Clean and tidy with everything needed for our stay.

A really lovely, well equipped cottage.

Comfortable facilities and everything you might need. My only complaint would be the heating. We got caught in a storm and came back cold and wet. It would have been great to have been able to put the heating on upstairs for my daughter to have a bath but the heating is controlled remotely. We were able to light a fire in the lounge but would have been great to have been able to heat the upstairs as needed and not simple 2 hours morning and evening with no control.

Lovely, light-filled, comfortable home with all main rooms having views towards the sea.

Large living room and two bathrooms allow for four adults to share. Dog friendly, lawned garden at front of house with elevated private seating area at the side of the house. Secure parking at front of house which is off main road. The walk to town is 10 minutes downhill and, although we walked back up, there are bus stops right outside if you wanted to get a bus. Traffic noise was minimal most of the time and we found it to be quiet at night, although windows were closed as weather, during our stay, was wet and windy. We recommend Cumberland Cottage and look forward to returning.

An excellent location,the sunrise sea views were quite spectacular,good parking area but the padlock securing the gate with ring latch was seized totally,lubricated and left fully working.

The lack of an electric shaver socket in the bathroom was surprising,as was the steepness of the stairs. Bed was extremely comfortable,and we very much enjoyed our first stay in Lyme Regis itself,great location to access the sea wall walk via the path and steps accessed from the car park.Very good television,and unexpectedly Sky TV,the compact dishwasher was excellent.

It was a little disappointing that the kitchen was not complete with cooking foils and oils as other premises do.

We had a lovely stay at Cumberland cottage to celebrate a 60th birthday.

A well situated cottage, although it is on one of the main roads going into Lyme so there was some noise from traffic.This is our only negative comment and that the bedrooms could do with blackout blinds! We loved the raised seating area and the enclosed garden (perfect for the dog) and we really appreciated the Welcome pack. A great holiday.

This is our 2nd visit to Cumberland cottage we find it perfect for what we want ,garden ,parking and location however l wouldn't want to pay anymore for it So please keep your prices realistic
