Description
Occupying a wonderful location in the heart of the picturesque seaside town of Lyme Regis in Dorset, is this beautifully presented cottage, Waverley. The ideal destination for families on holiday, the cottage is well-presented with an abundance of character and style; the perfect retreat to come home to at the end of a day full of adventures.
The open-plan living space is warm and inviting with plenty of stylish seating and an attractive woodburning stove forms the focal point of the room, making it the ideal spot for gathering, curling up and recounting your day's adventures. Step into the cottage-style kitchen where you will find everything you need to create delicious food for hungry family members. The traditional dining table welcomes diners to come together and appreciate some good food, drink, and each other’s company. Upstairs there are two extremely well-presented bedrooms, the perfect place to retire to at the end of an exhausting day of discovering the delights of Dorset; choose from a stylish double and an elegant twin with a shower room and a bathroom completing the accommodation.
Waverley boasts some fantastic outside space with a decked veranda which has a fabulous seating area with views over the town of Lyme Regis. Steps lead down to an enclosed courtyard with table and chairs, where guests can spend some quality time alfresco, eating, drinking and soaking up the vistas.
Talking of views, Lyme Regis is just a short walk away and offers a maze of narrow streets which are home to a great selection of independent shops, galleries, cafés, and restaurants. There are fantastic family-friendly beaches here, walks along the Jurassic coast and even a museum and an aquarium, both of which are well worth a visit. Other family attractions in the area which are popular with visitors include Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Seaton Tramway and Axe Valley Wildlife Park. Take a Boat tour or fishing trip from the famous Cobb harbour and nearby towns such as Charmouth and Axminster or the pretty fishing village of Beer are worthy of a visit.
For a family holiday to remember, Waverley is the perfect destination.

What guests are saying
Great property in good central location.
The only downside is the steep hill to and from the carpark.
We have stayed at Waverley 6 times now, but after a break of a couple of years from Lyme we missed the town and the cottage so had to return.
The cottage location is great and we love the proximity to the Mill, the pedestrian only access and all that goes with it. About three or 4 years ago the cottage had a makeover when the new owners came in, new breakfast island, sofa etc. Just a couple of little observations: We think the sofa is now uncomfortable; it has probably had at least 3 years of heavy use, so the bounciness has gone and probably needs replacing. The other minor observation is the blinds, they are probably ok for a domestic house, but for a holiday rental some of them are a little fiddly, hard to get level and fragile. More robust blinds wouldn’t go amiss. Other than that we love the cottage and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Lyme, but hope these comments help.
A lovely property, well equipped and in a great location.
We had a great week. Only one note -the sun loungers aren't usable as the elastic ties binding the material to the metal have perished.
Good to know

Property notes
Please note that the property is located on a quiet pedestrian only lane so while cars can not pull up outside, there is a trolley in the property to make moving your bags from the car to the front door much easier. Do take care as the lane is on a hill.
As with many characterful properties, there are sloped ceilings in the bedroom with restricted head room in some parts.
