Description

Mayflower Cottage is a striking four‑bedroom home, tucked away in the very heart of Lyme Regis, that has been extensively remodelled by its owners to create an impressive and highly individual holiday property. Arranged over several levels, the house blends high‑quality finishes with versatile living spaces, making it an ideal choice for family gatherings or groups of friends seeking a central yet secluded coastal escape and minutes walk from the seafront and beach. Sherborne Lane itself is a peaceful, pedestrian, traffic‑free route with Saxon origins, offering a sense of history and tranquillity just moments from the lively heart of the town. Set discreetly behind double wooden gates, the entrance leads into a welcoming ground‑floor sitting room, a relaxed space to settle into after a day exploring the coast. From here, stairs rise to a superb cinema room and second lounge, providing a fantastic hideaway for film nights or quieter evenings. This level also includes a well‑equipped utility room with washing machine, along with a contemporary shower room, complemented by feature lighting that adds a subtle sense of style, complete with a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC - creating a smart and practical space for guests. Also on this floor is a newly completed double bedroom, finished to a high standard and complemented by a smart en‑suite shower room beautifully tiled in marble, an excellent option for anyone looking for ground‑floor accommodation. Steps descend from the sitting room to the impressive lower‑ground‑floor kitchen, where bi‑fold doors open straight out to the garden. Designed with sociable holidays in mind, this is a space made for cooking, dining and spending time together, with a generous dining area at its heart. The kitchen is beautifully finished with limestone flooring and underfloor heating, ensuring comfort year‑round, while a range cooker, wine fridge and well-considered fittings make it as practical as it is stylish. The space flows seamlessly outdoors on warmer days and long summer evenings, creating an effortless connection between inside and out. The first floor is home to the spacious master bedroom, featuring a kingsize bed and a stylish en‑suite shower room. Two additional bedrooms complete the accommodation, a comfortable double and a bunk bedroom, particularly well-suited to children. Outside, the property boasts a generous, south‑facing garden, mainly laid to lawn, with several seating areas ideal for dining and relaxing. A covered hot tub, set beneath a canopy of twinkling lights, creates a wonderfully inviting spot for evening soaks. The garden is not enclosed. Steps and an opening provide access to the car park at the rear, and a parking permit can be arranged for guests, adding welcome convenience in such a central location. From the doorstep, guests are perfectly placed to enjoy the many attractions of Lyme Regis. A great choice of independent cafés, pubs and well‑regarded restaurants lie within easy walking distance, while the sandy, family‑friendly beach offers the perfect setting for relaxed seaside days. The iconic Cobb Harbour is also close by, ideal for scenic strolls along the breakwater, watching fishing boats arrive, or joining one of the popular coastal boat trips. Lyme Regis sits at the heart of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, renowned for its dramatic scenery and fossil‑rich shores. The South West Coast Path can be picked up directly from town, opening up breathtaking clifftop walks in both directions towards Charmouth, West Bay and beyond. Whether your stay is filled with coastal adventures or simply enjoying the atmosphere of this historic seaside town, everything is close at hand.

This impressive Lyme Regis home welcomes pets and is available for weekly‑only bookings.

Mayflower Cottage is a stylish and spacious coastal retreat, quietly tucked away on one of Lyme Regis’ most historic lanes yet perfectly placed for enjoying the best of town and coast.

I could write pages on Mayflower Cottage, but I’ll keep it brief and say that it’s simply sensational.

If you’re looking for a place to stay in lovely Lyme Regis it doesn’t get any better. We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay with our children and their grandparents at this house in Lyme Regis.

The property is stunning, and the location is perfect for the main high street and the beach, which is just a short stroll away. You can also walk to a flour mill and the fossil museum in minutes which were both fun and interesting to visit. The owner is very responsive and helpful. A lovely bag of treats awaited our arrival, which was so thoughtful and inviting. We enjoyed the hot tub in the garden and the beautiful views of the hills. We would definitely love to come back, and will recommend it to others too!
