  • "Quiet, comfortable and clean."

    Has everything that you need for a relaxing break. Only a 5/10 minute walk from the centre of Lyme Regis. Parking can be an issue, but there is some free parking nearby, if you do your research!

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you for having us."

    It's hard to fault any aspects of the stay - we loved the hamper on arrival, the kids especially loved the cookies as we enjoyed the coffee and tea, as well as the milk which served us well the following morning! We would definitely return in years to come. Thank you!

  • "The Bolthole was a lovely place to stay, a small but stylish house with its own little footbridge."

    The beds were comfortable, the bathroom and shower lovely and the garden was great to sit out in , especially during a heatwave! It was so refreshing to walk up the footpath from town and away from the busyness of summer. Thank you, we'd definitely stay again.

  • "We adored our stay."

    The Bolthole was everything it promised. The location, the energy, the surroundings- just lovely. Myself and my son was welcomed by a neighbouring cat, Houdini! The river was so healing, and tranquil. Thank you (Big highlight- beds were dreamy)

  • "The Bolthole was a wonderful place for our holiday."

    It was comfortable, clean and tidy, and had everything we needed. The centre of Lyme Regis was just a short walk away. We would definitely book again in the future. Thank you, we had a great time.

    Thanks so very much for the welcome pack, we forgot to write in the visitors book this time, sorry. We love Lyme Regis and will return and stay at The Bolt Hole again.

  • "Great location in quiet part of Lyme, we love walking down by the Lym to get into town."

    Lovely house the only draw back was the kitchen, not really enough room for the table with four people round it to get in and out, also the dishwasher didn't;t open properly so very difficult to fill. Shame not to have put a full size in there. We did have a problem with the boiler which kept resetting, meaning the water kept going cold in the shower. The maintenance crew did come round to fix but it still went cold. Luckily it was our last day. The shower was very good through when it was hot! We would definitely come back as great for a family of four.

  • "A lovely little bungalow in a picturesque setting."

    There was a small issue on arrival with the cleaning but this was dealt with very quickly and efficiently. Parking at the nearest car park was easy despite the uphill walk to get there! Would stay again.

  • "On the whole, this is a charming little bungalow in a great location, ideal for exploring the town."

    Reversing up the lane to drop off bags is tight but doable, but would recommend instead just dropping off at the top and walking down - it’s really only 30 seconds or so! There were a few minor maintenance issues, however. The spring on the dishwasher detergent door was broken so dishwasher tablets would not get released during the cycle. One side of the toaster did not work. The garden was a little overgrown, with a thorny rose bush and other plants hanging over the path to the front door. And the skylights could do with a clean inside - there were many cobwebs!

  • "It was a lovely little bungalow with a great garden, however there were things I would have liked to have known before arriving."

    The lane is VERY narrow, in the handbook inside the property it says its best to reverse down the lane, actually I think drop things at the top and walk them down - its not very far. The closest car park is Woodmead which doesn't come up as long stay but this summer (2023) was £35 for 3 days or £65 for a week. The other long stay car parks are £15 a day which was more then we'd expected but it took us a while to find Woodmead. It was a last minute booking and despite phoning the number provided this info was hard to come by, as we had limited time to research. It spoilt the first day or so with confusion and stress especially for my 83 year old mother. Otherwise it was delightful and the best equiped place we have ever stayed. The garden was perfect, private and sunny most of the day. Thank you very much for the goody bag we enjoyed it!

  • "The Bolt Hole is a little gem tucked away across a personal footbridge across the river."

    It’s very quiet, apart from the quacking of ducks. The accommodation, for us, was perfect. It lacked nothing, was very comfortable & had a small, sunny garden for outside relaxing. We would revisit.
