Watersplash Cottage

Watersplash cottage is clean, comfortable, very well equipped and was perfect for our January stay in Lyme.

We had read a couple of previous reviews suggesting that the cottage was cold, so rang the company who promised to send someone out to check that the boiler and heating were working properly. Any issue was resolved, and we were warm and cosy throughout the week, despite bitterly cold temperatures outside. The cottage is full of character including stairs which could be challenging for older guests, however we loved it. Location is excellent and there is a parking permit for the nearby car park. Beds are very comfortable, furnishings are of good quality and we really appreciated the welcome pack. Highly recommend this lovely cottage.

I absolutely love this cottage!

Just back from a wonderful week with my parents and little dog, and already planning when we can return. The location is perfect, in just a few minutes' amble you're at the mill, brewery, and sea front. Yet tucked away with the lovely riverside garden. The cottage is comfortable, clean, characterful and very well equipped. The electric stove/fire made for very cosy autumn evenings. Yes the stairs need a watchout, but are safe, and part of the charm (top floor room is lovely!) Thank you very much for our stay!

This is the second time we have stayed in this lovely house , it’s perfect .

Comfortable, spacious and a garden for the dog . Perfectly situated it feels like home from home

Such a lovely cottage that was perfect for us, our 4 year old son & dog.

It was hard to find a property in Lyme with outdoor space so this one was perfect. The courtyard garden is a lot bigger than it seems on pictures and with the river running at the back was so lovely. Bed was comfy & we had plenty of space & everything we needed. There were a few spiders & some crumbs in the fridge from a previous guest but other than that very clean. There was a distinct dog smell but you come to suspect that in a dog friendly property. Great that nearby parking is included & just a short walk to the seafront. We would definitely stay again and had a lovely time.

The location of the house is perfect for walking in to Lyme Regis along the river walk!

The house it's self was exceptionally clean and well equipped, However, the garden does need some work! Disappointingly it did not match the high standard of the house. It was clear it has not been looked after with only weeds and plastic flowers. Such a shame as it could be a lovely river side oasis with a bit of time and money spent on it!

Small and pretty little place.

very well equipped and spotlessly clean.very safe garden for our dog so we didn't have to watch him.sofa very small and not comfy.too many nik.naks everywhere. Tv could do with sky system could only get Netflix. Lovely soft furnishings and comfy beds.only problem were very steep stairs the top floor bedroom had ni handrails. I had to go up on hands and knees so slept in the single bed.great location and close to walks and seafront

It's a lovely cottage with a good location.

Garden needs some love and the rug in the front room really smells like dog. It needs replacing! But the cottage is nice and the location is really good

Lovely property and perfect for our break away .

Nice little cottage !

Single beds I found uncomfortable ! The little garden needed a bit of TLc ,weeds etc.

We did really enjoy our stay and it had most of the comforts we enjoy at home.

There were a couple of things that we should highlight. The TV in the master bedroom didn’t work. Not a problem for us but for people who like to watch TV in bed it could be. The freeview remote for the living room TV didn’t work properly as you couldn’t use the down arrow to scroll through the channels. Again we used my laptop to plug in and watch channels that way. We also found a broken handle on a mug on the kitchen unit. We left it there for your team to hopefully find during the clean down. There was also no blue bag left for us to split up the linen and towels as per instructions, only a clear bag. We are back with you at Christmas in the same property and we are looking forward to coming back to the property.

Waterfall Cottage was in a lovely area in Lyme Regis next to a river.

The short fairly flat walk via the river and mill courtyard or the road to the beach or high street was lovely. Cottage was ideal for 2 people. Personally not a fan of memory foam mattress and it would help if the bed was leveled (put pillows at 'foot' end). We pointed out the hole in the deck to the chap collecting the bins.

Exterior maintenance needed.

Garden decking collapsing in the corner. Front needs repainting. Master bedroom mattress needs replacing. Deep winter duvets too hot for the season - unusable. Front door lock dangerous and not to fire regulations - you should not need to find a key to get out.

This is a lovely little cottage with a good size outdoor space.

It's nicely decorated with comfortable beds, good sized kitchen with all you need and in a good location. The lounge is very small more with comfy seating for 2 people so ok for a family but a bit snug for 2 couples. The 2 levels of stairs are steep and winding so no good if you're not fit! Apart from the 2 provisos mentioned tho, this was a lovely place to stay and we would again.

Had a lovely stay at the cottage .

Cooking facilities were good but could do with one more big saucepan . Cottage was lovely and a good sized garden. Very well situated . Beds very comfortable sofa not so comfortable. However all in all a very good stay . Also back door is hard to Open and shut

Lovely property in a great location.

Very cosy and comfortable cottage. Staff very friendly and helpful.

We've visited several times before and absolutely love Watersplash - it's a perfect retreat with bags of character even when the weather lets us down, and the location is idyllic.

But there were issues on this occasion. We'd complained before about the razor sharp edges on the drawer handles especially in the kitchen after slicing my finger on one last year, but no-one has done anything about it. The quality of washing up by previous occupants was poor - dirty saucepans (I had to rush out to buy scouring pads) and food stuck to cutlery and plates and there was an unpleasant smell in the kitchen which took days to clear. The bin bags had all bio-degraded so we had an issue putting out the rubbish. The garden furniture, which was broken and dangerous last year, has been removed but not replaced. So no chance of breakfast at the garden table. The decking was terribly slippery when it rained and the garden needs a tidy up. We love the cottage and feel very sad when standards start to slip. It's not at all cheap (especially as only 2 of us) and I stress that these are small issues but do need attention. We don't want to complain when we're on holiday - it sours something we've been looking forward to for so long but hope that polite feedback will now be acted on. If photos show garden furniture it should be available, even in March. On the plus side, cleaning was generally to a high standard - we met the cleaner and she was delightful - a credit to the company. The bedroom is super-comfortable and the heating (in a very cold wet week) was blissfully reliable. So, in spite of a few gripes, a great little place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was lovely and in a superb position.

Lovely and peaceful but a short walk to the town and the beach. My only criticism was that as the steps down to the kitchen were quite slippy, our elderly dog was unable to manage them. I think it would be useful to mention this as other people may have the same issue. Other than this, beautiful stay, thank you.

A quirky little cottage, well located in a quiet road with very little passing traffic and away from the hustle and bustle but near enough for a short walk into the town and seafront - perfect location.

Added bonus of a garden which backed onto the river with permit parking for the nearby car park too. Arranged over 3 floors, the stairs are a bit of a challenge! As the listing states they are quite narrow and winding but deep treads too so would be difficult for anybody suffering with knee / hip problems. That said we loved our stay and hope to return in the future.

The cottage was absolutely perfect, small yet perfectly formed.

Having the garden space with the river running behind us was lovely and being located so close to the beach was a real luxury. Our only issue was with the cooking facilities. The cooker did not light consistently (the ignition switch sometimes worked sometimes didn't). I think a couple of additional items like a second frying pan and a few more saucepans would have made cooking for a family of 4 easier. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending Watersplash Cottage.

The property was in a superb location and a massive bonus having the garden by the river which we used alot.

The top bedroom was very hot and a shame we couldn't open the window fully on the street side to let a breeze in. The memory foam mattress took some getting used to but was fine for a week's stay. The only negative was the property stated there was a highchair so we deliberately didn't take ours. When we arrived we looked for it but couldn't find it. I messaged lyme Bay Holidays and someone said they would get back to me but they didn't so we had to improvise for the whole week which wasn't ideal.

Lovely cute cottage very clean and well equipped with everything you need!

Great location - 5 min walk to the sea front -shops and Restaurants etc parking is easily accessible using a permit and a 5 min walk away. Lovely walks right on your doorstep and a great base for exploring the area. We had a lovely four day last minute break and would definitely return! If we had to add add any feedback it would be maybe a couple of fans in the bedrooms as it was quite warm and a larger sofa or extra seating in the living room it’s fine for two guests but not four. The garden is also an extra bonus!

Thank you so much for the use of your lovely cottage- it had everything we needed!

Very comfortable and very clean! Fab location! We wish we had longer to explore! Some poor weather didn't stop us- an easy drive down to the Eden Project in Cornwall kept us going.... Thank you.

We have loved our stay at Watersplash Cottage!

Very cosy, with everything we needed. Great location, and gorgeous to have the river running along the back of the garden! We love fossiling at Black Ven, walk to Uplyme, exploring the lovely shops etc. We had a great meal at 'Lilac', love the Town Mill Brewery, the bakery as well as buying seafood at The Wet Fish Shop. 'Swim' is another favourite! Thanks for a wonderful stay! We will be back.

What a lovely lovely cottage!

We had a very relaxing few days with our Murphy, the cocker spaniel. Being a black dog, we visited the Black Dog Cafe in Uplyme. Such friendly owners and delicious apple cake and clotted cream. Treated ourselves to a curry takeaway the first night and visited the Pilot Boat- great Sea Bass. The Cottage was perfect- warm, cosy, little personal touches let you know how cared for it is. The welcome pack was very thoughtful- thank you! We will recommend Watersplash Cottage.

Thank you for a lovely stay at Watersplash Cottage!

We definitely struck luck with the weather and we enjoyed walks on the beach with the dog, swims in the sea and ice creams on the promenade. Also lovely to sit in the garden and listen to the river. Highlights of our stay in Lyme Regis: Dinosaurland and Fossil Museum- amazing collection! Moules frites at the Lyme Bay Cafe- biggest mussels we have ever had! Dinner at the The Millside - for the fruits de mer! Langdon Hill National Trust for walk to Golden Cap- great views! Heartstopper season 3 filming during our stay! Taster board at the Lyme Regis Brewery- mix and match! We have had the best time and will be back!
