Little Sea Thrift

Very comfortable and a beautiful, fascinating interior with plenty of art and books.

Great personal welcome greeting/information. Comfy bed and great shower.

An excellent place for two people, with parking, just a short walk from the town centre and beach.

Well furnished with interesting and art style furniture. An excellent shower and comfortable bed. The hidden kitchen worked well and the welcome pack was a delight to have. The host was friendly and helpful.

Very comfortable, quirky, well appointed property.

Well placed for walking into Lyme Regis without the car. Had one issue at the start of the stay that was sorted very quickly by the owner. Would recommend. The place is very well positioned for touring the Jurassic coast.

I've had the most wonderful working week staying at Little Sea Thrift in Lyme Regis.

Debbie is a wonderful, thoughtful host and a talented artist; the accommodation is beautifully presented and a very comfortable space, full of gorgeous antiques and artworks some of which is Debbie's own!). Every room is full of delights, including the lovely bathroom and its fab walk-in shower. I particularly loved that there were books in almost every room, which were lovely to browse when I was taking a break from work. The terrace off the bedroom is a suntrap; even in November I was able to sit out and enjoy the warmth. With permission, you can also go explore Debbie's amazing hillside garden with lots of hidden delights to discover and beautiful views towards the Golden Cap. As a sole female traveller I also felt very safe; the annex is attached to the main house, so, despite the fact that is was very quiet (and therefore perfect for working) I never felt isolated. It is about a ten minute walk to the sea, restaurants, etc, though do be prepared for an invigorating, but scenic, walk home up the hill (if that's not your bag you can always use your car and park in one of the many town car parks). Highly recommended - I hope to be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Little Sea Thrift.

The property was full of amazing artwork and beautiful furniture. There was a sea view from the terrace garden off the bedroom. There was everything you need for a lovely stay. It is not far from the town but there is a steep hill when walking back from Lyme Regis High Street, which isn't mentioned in the listing. This may be difficult for those with mobility problems, though there were plenty of places to park this time of year (October). There were lots of independent shops and fabulous places to eat. Debbie had left lots of recommendations on things to do and places to eat. We met Debbie on our last day, who was delightful. We would highly recommend a stay at Little Sea Thrift and hope to return.

Absolutely wonderful

A Truly Magical Stay – Pure Luxury, Thoughtfulness, and Breathtaking Beauty From the moment we arrived, we knew we were somewhere truly special.

Every inch of the property is exquisitely decorated, radiating pure luxury — from the plush bedding and indulgent toiletries to the beautifully curated artwork and elegant kitchenware. It felt less like a holiday rental and more like stepping into a dream. Debbie’s warmth and thoughtfulness were evident in every detail. Waiting for us was a handwritten welcome note, brimming with carefully gathered insights on the best local walks, beaches, places of interest, eateries, and even upcoming events. It was clear so much care had gone into ensuring we would have the perfect stay. To our delight, Debbie had also left a generous selection of treats: fine wine, artisanal crackers, rich chocolate, olives, bottled water, and fresh milk. Such thoughtful gestures are rare, and they made us feel immediately at home — and very much spoiled. The location could not have been better: a leisurely stroll brought us into the heart of Lyme Regis, while a short drive opened up the wonders of the Dorset countryside. We were fortunate to meet Debbie during our stay, and found her to be as charming and welcoming in person as we had imagined — a truly lovely soul, full of fascinating stories. One of the greatest pleasures was wandering through the spectacular garden — a seemingly endless haven bursting with a dazzling array of plants, flowers, and majestic trees. It was nothing short of enchanting. We are already dreaming of our return. There is no doubt we will be booking again, eager for the day when we can once more sit on the patio, drink in hand, gazing out over the breathtaking sea views and soaking in the magic of this extraordinary place.

What a spectacular place you have here!

We were initially drawn to Little Sea Thrift by its aesthetic and it’s even more beautiful in person. You have curated the space so thoughtfully – it’s full of character, it is unique and stylish but above all both functional & comfortable. Everything has its place and there is a place for everything. We didn’t miss a single thing during our stay. The house is well‑equipped and so completely considered. We are absolutely delighted to have stayed here. Wishing you many years of continued success and guests who truly appreciate your fine eye. We will certainly be recommending Little Sea Thrift! We loved Lyme Regis and your recommendations were excellent. Rock fish is fabulous!
