"Holly Cottage is a beautiful cottage in a great location."
Newly renovated and very tastefully decorated. We absolutely loved our stay there and would highly recommend. The one area for improvement would be the upstairs shower waste pipe. It’s pours out outside the back door when the shower is in use. Otherwise, this is a lovely little cottage with a sunny back garden!

"We have a wonderful stay in the cottage for my birthday."
The cottage has everything you'd need. Great for 4 people or less. Comfortable bed. Goody bag on arrival. Very clean. Also on a very pretty lane, within walking distance of everything you need. I would 100% recommend this cottage.

"We loved the cottage as soon as we walked through the door, airy, comfortable, spacious and bright."
All the mod cons that you will for your holiday. A couple of small things that were mentioned on other reviews were a handrail for the stairs might be useful as they are steep. Instructions for the cooker would also be handy but we worked through it. I would also suggest some references to where you can buy logs for the log burner (great hardware store down the road), recommendations on dog friendly pubs and restaurants would also be useful but in general you will find most places accommodate dogs. We highly recommend The Standard down in the parade where we spent most evenings, excellent service can’t do enough for you and the food is fantastic. The owner just happens to be a Greek chef (nice takeaway offering just down from the pub) and they deliver. The cottage was in such a lovely location with everything on hand for you, we loved the opportunity to relax on the sofa and with a glass of wine. Just lovely and would definitely stay there again.

"Really lovely cottage with a log burner."
The kitchen oven and hob - yeah, fiddly initially, but once we got the hang of it, was very good for cooking indeed. They just need some more compatible pans - like the steamers don't work on the hob. Not a big deal. Lovely kitchen space for a holiday home with decent worktops and sink etc. There were some small maintenance issues: The backdoor needed the latch tightening to allow you to open the door; the bin still had the last guests' recycle materials in; the fireplace was not cleaned and the back bedroom bedside cabinet drawer fell apart upon opening. None of those things should put you off going here, though. Great location after you off-load from the car (I'd recommend parking at the bottom of the lane and walking up, rather than from the busy road at the top). There's double yellow lines, but unloading is permitted and works well. The cottage is lovely, cosy, warm and tastefully decorated. There's a welcome bag, which is a nice touch, if that's your thing. The parking permit is for a car park only a 5 minute walk away from the bottom of the lane, so is valuable considering the difficulty parking in the town. We had a great time here and would highly recommend it.

"Lovely cottage."
Well equipped and nicely decorated. Nice quiet lane and near to the centre of Lyme Regis. The parking was on very steep hill, you then had to park at the top of Sherborne Lane on a double yellow line to pack and unpack the car, not good if you had mobility difficulties. Would be good to know before you book. The heating wasn’t great even if you turned the thermostat high, the radiators were lukewarm. The oven needed the instruction manual as it’s complicated. No mirrors in the bedroom to dry your hair. Just a little more attention to detail needed.

"The property was exceptional the only small improvement would be a mirror in the bedrooms, otherwise it was perfect."

"Stayed in Holly cottage for 4 nights mid January."
The cottage was very comfortable , clean and in a quiet spot . There are a couple of things that I feel need a mention. First is the car park, although it is not far it's on a very steep hill, not really suitable for elderly or anyone with mobility issues. The stairs would benefit from a handrail as again steep but not many of them. I think a good addition would be some mirrors in the bedrooms. Having said this we would recommend and would happily return. Lyme Regis is a lovely little town.

"We had a wonderful stay."
The cottage was beautiful and so Christmassy! The beds were comfortable and everything was high quality. It was so nice having lovely wine glasses to use! Unfortunately the toilet seat was broken and we had some issues with the heating making very loud noises - we appreciate it’s an old house though. Mirrors in the bedrooms would be a welcome addition. Location was perfect. Only disappointment was the holiday agent not ensuring we had the correct rubbish bags so we could recycle our waste.

"We had such an amazing stay at Holly Cottage."
It was so lovely decorated and felt so homely. It was in the perfect location being right near the high street. I would definitely recommend and will be booking again.

"1. The shower waste is connected to surface water drain at back door drain under canopy 2."
There was no shaver/ toothbrush outlet/ socket in the bathroom room 3. There was a distinct smell of oil in the downstairs cupboard 4. Access to the cottage was difficult- pedestrian only on a steep hill

"We had a very enjoyable stay at Holly Cottage and found it to be very comfortable, clean and situated in the most ideal place."
Being on Sherbourne Lane, there was no sound of traffic and we enjoyed a very quiet and peaceful time. We spent the days wandering around Lyme Regis, walking along the promenade and visiting the attractions and it was a pleasure to return to Holly Cottage which is a warm and cosy cottage for evenings in.
