Maries

Lovely property, very clean and everything provided.

Very pleased with our stay.

A lovely house in a great location with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Private and quiet, and also stays cool in the heat. Convenient for walking into town, beaches and harbour, also very close to the coastal path for dog walks.

We had a lovely stay at Marie’s and found it clean and comfortable.

We loved the location and the view from the bedroom balcony - if it was our property we’d have arranged the bedroom so you could see the view from the bed and then never got up!! Having a parking space in Lyme is great but it does take a little bit of getting used to due to the driveway and limited space. Being able to just leave your car for days and walk out to all the amazing places nearby was awesome. Just a suggestion but would love a coffee machine to add a touch of luxury. Overall a great week in an amazing location!

Gorgeous house with a beautiful view from the terrace and front garden.

A couple of days were very hot and you get shade somewhere around the house. The drive is tight, so if you had a big car it would be difficult to manouevre. We have an average size car, so wasn’t an issue. The toaster tripped out the electrics, as clearly needed replacing. The batteries needed to be replaced in the pretty lights on the mantle piece. The house was wonderful and we would book a holiday there again .

Lovely cosy warm cottage.

Very well equipped and everything you could need. Spotlessly clean. Wonderful holiday time at Maries as always. Thank you so much

Lovely house in stunning location.

Clean and well equipped. Very quiet and private. Thank you.

We loved our stay.

Beautiful sea views, could hear the sea and the birds. Beautifully clean. Lovely welcome pack. Discovered lots of walks from the doorstep.

Heating in winter needs clear instructions to keep it warm, not to be switched off on a remote schedule.

No towelling bath mat. Need a hand towel in the kitchen and small toilet area. Carpeting a bit dusty smelling, no doubt from dogs. Hard floor and rugs would be better, especially in the bedroom. Furniture not particularly comfortable.

We loved our week at Maries and the cottage was lovely.

The one thing that we felt really let the property down was the quality of the bedding and bed linen. The duvets were of very low quality and the pillows were like bricks! The sheets didn’t fit the mattress and neither did the duvet covers. If this was improved then we would certainly recommend the property.

Maries met our needs perfectly with our two Golden Retrievers and ourselves.

The property is beautifully appointed with everything one needs. The only consideration is the tight driveway access from Pine Walk. We took the smaller of our two cars and even so it was tricky. Perhaps consider widening the drive on the right hand side going up. Other than that a lovely stay. Thank you.

We would not return to this property due to the uncomfortable chairs in the lounge.

They reminded me of my wooden garden chairs with wooden slats forming the base. This made them uncomfortable and made any relaxation or TV watching difficult. It has everything you need for your stay and is well equipped. There are a few items which are showing signs of wear and doors that are difficult to open as they are catching so a little maintenance would help. This property could be so much more.

Lovely property, in a great location.

Had everything we needed and beautiful views from the lounge and main bedroom.

This is our six time at Maries, wonderful location to the beach and town.

Cottage is very well equipped with lovely views across the bay Would certainly recommend it and will be back next year

ros: great location, well equipped and pretty house, easy check in/out Cons: no access to garage, no recycling.

Enjoyed the week here - beautiful town and nice house. Disappointed not to be able to leave classic motorbike and carbon bicycles in the garage when it features so prominently in the photos (with request on arrival refused by the owner). No recycling collection, surprisingly, so we had to take it home. Front steps need some maintenance as two of them are crumbling.

We had a wonderful week at Marie's even though the weather was a mixed bag.

The house is beautifully clean and comfortable and there is everything you need to make your stay memorable. Especially the view. The only criticism I have is collecting the keys from Lyme Bay Holiday offices,after a long trip down all you want to do is open the door and get settled. A key safe would have been ideal.

Second time at Maries.

Fantastic location for access to the town and beach with lovely views across the bay. Well equipped. Super comfy bed. Difficult to find somewhere to really enjoy the sun, as the garden is quite jungle-like and the comfort levels in the living-room are a bit below par. But overall the benefits outweigh any slight niggles and we're sure to be back...

Amazing home, we had a wonderful time and such a short walk to the seafront.

Would certainly recommend it and stay there again ourselves. One suggestion for future guests - as we were two couples, having two front door keys would have been very useful.

Beautiful home and we had a lovely stay - the little extras like a dog bowl and leads is really appreciated.

The only thing I thought could be improved was to have gates at the entrance so we could have let the dogs in the front and sat on the bench admiring the view but that’s just me as a dog owner loving views of the sea

Lovely few days spent in this beautiful cottage.

Views from the elevated front of Maries look over Lyme Regis bay. Key collection and all information were made easy to navigate and the welcome hamper was very much appreciated, especially arriving late afternoon. Our second visit to Marie’s and didn’t disappoint.

A lovely property in an excellent location to the town.

Very quiet location. Very well equipped and the welcome pack was the best we’ve ever had.

Marie's is a lovely property that is welcoming and cosy.

It is very well appointed and comfortable. It's location is excellent with views over the sea and it is 1 minute walk to the coastal path and around 8 minutes to the beach and the town. We found the description on the website to be accurate. It is explained that turning into the drive is from a narrow road and it will be a struggle for larger cars. This is correct but I managed it with our car which is 4.45m x 1.87m

A lovely property that was just as described and perfect for our week in Lyme Regis.

It's in a great location and the views lived up to expectations, although you do need to be reasonably fit for the walk back up the hill from the seafront. There was everything we wanted and a very useful welcome pack on arrival. It was always warm and comfortable with some nice touches such as an outside hosepipe to clean sand or mud from mucky boots and paws. A larger screen TV would be beneficial for people who have plans to stay in and watch. We had a lovely stay and definitely plan to return.

Great location - BUT Maries is in a wonderful location, with hilltop sea views, 10 mins walk through the public gardens to the top of the high street and 2 mins walk to the coastal path.

However, the immediate neighbours have installed a basketball hoop. When the son is playing it is thump, thump, thump on the decking every second. It is so loud we could hear it inside with all doors & windows shut and over the TV, which made it impossible to sit outside late afternoon/early evening and enjoy the beautiful view !!! I have videos to prove I am not exaggerating. Internally, the main bedroom is delightful, light, airy and with splendid views. The rest of the cottage was much darker than I expected from the photos, and most rooms needed the lights on even on the sunniest of days. As mentioned by previous visitors the lounge needs a bigger TV.

We loved it at Maries.

Key pick-up and drop-off was an easy process. Everything had been thought of for our comfort. TV, puzzzles and games too. There was a welcome pack on arrival, which came in very handy. Everything was lovely and clean. No shortage of kitchen utensils, crockery, or cutlery. The views are spectacular from the main bedrom and balcony. It is a hilly walk down to the sea front and we found the stairs quicker and easier than the road. Non-slip shoes are handy if it rains. The only thing I would suggest to others would be to perhaps take extra towels and tea towels. The beds are on the firm side. On the other hand, we did all sleep well. We would come back and in fact have already booked for next year. Thank you!

Lovely house and location.

Ideal for the dog-friendly beach, woods and cliff walks. Great access to Lyme Regis. The house had great facilities, was clean and there was a nice welcome pack. We are all very happy with our stay. Thank you

Improvement to vehicle access is a great improvement

We have stayed here a number of times lovely place I just wish it had a front gate to make sure dogs were secure at the front

A delightful cottage in a fabulous location.

Every possible thing has been thought of to make the stay a Maries perfect. Wonderful holiday, highly recommended!

Maries is a beautiful cottage with a great location, both for the beach and town, but also for touring the area.

If you're not confident with steep drives there's plenty of room to park off road at the bottom of the drive. The cottage was very clean and is extremely well equipped with enough crockery and cutlery for many people. The washing machine, tumble dryer, cooker and microwave are all in excellent condition and worked perfectly. There is a large lounge and the dining area has a beautiful sea view. The only minor criticism we have is the TV is too small for the room size. The master bedroom is very big with plenty of storage space with a balcony overlooking the bay. We would not hesitate to return another year.

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Maries, it really is a lovely cottage and was perfect for our stay.

The cottage is charming and was lovely and warm, which was welcome, as although we had fine weather, the wind chill factor made it cooler. Although we didn't eat at the cottage, except for breakfast, it had all the equipment for doing so. There are great views of the jurassic coast line, lovely to wake up to...... I would definitely recommend Maries and we will be looking to book later in the year, or early next year.

Although the cottage itself was lovely ,we found it a bit annoying that the key safe was not attached to the property and that when we had a power cut on our first night the burgular alarm was going off all night and after ringing at 9.

15 the next day it still took a second phone call at 4.oclock before it was sorted. I know you don't know when power cuts are going to happen but after talking to the guys fixing it SW power it seems this is quite a regular occurance on this road ,so it maybe worth have external monitoring on the alarm so not to disturb customers holidays. Regards Tim

Thought it was the most wonderful home with amazing views.

Spotlessly clean and so convenient to walk everywhere.

Thank you.

Lovely stay at Maries.  Great location and lovely cottage Just to mention the kitchen door with the bin on was loose on the hinge. It just needs tightening. Many thanks Nick

This is an amazing property.

Firstly the views are really special overlooking the bay. The property is spacious and is VERY well equipped. We visited in December and it was warm with a plentiful supply of hot water dispensed from a good shower. The welcome pack contained a generous selection of local fayre. The beds were wonderfully comfortable with an assortment of cupboards for storage. We loved the atmosphere of the cottage and felt sad to leave. Many safety features had been considered enabling my elderly husband to relax including safety handles in the shower, night lights, bannisters and of course the house is on one level. The description on the site is accurate including the parking though tight is definitely doable. I also like the versatility of the property as it offers scope for sharing with another couple whilst having the space for a bit of privacy. There is also a conservatory to enjoy as well. The gardens contain an interesting selection including flowering camellias in December and seating to eat/ drink outside. We would highly recommend this property.

Very lovely property in a great location with nice views of the coastline and sea.

Everything we needed and more, very well equipped and beautifully presented. Nice and warm despite the cold weather and the snow we had on the Thursday! Particularly enjoyed the gas logs, very cosy! Our 2 small dogs settled in quickly and enjoyed the back garden and shrubbery, while we could relax as it seemed well secured! We’ve already booked for March next year as we enjoyed it so much!

Wonderful place.

Booked again next year.Widening the entrance has made all the difference to access for even large cars. An Amazon firestick is a useful addition to the TV in the lounge.. Trees slightly obscure the fireworks on Bonfire night. Our Pugs did not escape the confines of the back garden. Shame they allowed next door to build in front of the building line and to the height he has. What were the planning committee thinking of!!

Lovely property, lovely location.

We will come again.

This has been our forth year at Maries and the standard has been maintained first class, we love going to Maries it is a wonderful location and is easy walking distance to the sea front

Excellent property in good location and pretty much as advertised.

Only minor comments would be that property was clean on arrival but worktops a bit sticky/tacky. Dishwasher needed salt. Also bushes on drive need to be trimmed a little. However we were get very happy with the property and would return without hesitation

Had a really fabulous week.

Couldn’t believe how well equipped the property was, even a coffee pod machine. Location was ideal, no passing traffic on a private road! A short downhill walk to the town and beach, but a good climb back up, However there is even a shopping trolley in the cupboard!! The only down was that the fence in the rear garden is not beagle proof but only a minor issue for us. Thank you for a great week.

The property was great, very well located and probably our favourite holiday rental we have been to.

There were however a couple of areas that, whilst we were aware of, had an impact on our stay. Firstly, the driveway really isn't suitable for modern vehicles. We were aware that it would be tight, but as there were no pictures it's hard to judge from the comment in the details alone. Whilst we were able to get in and out, great care had to be taken. Please add more representative pictures in the property details. The second was the building work going on next door. Again we were aware of this, but it did mean we couldn't really enjoy the outside space. There were people working on the exterior and roof in full view and they had a radio on constantly. We could quite clearly hear their conversations and "banter".

Lovely property, the car access is as described very tricky in a large car but it is possible with patience and reversing skills.

An absolutely amazing house.

Superb from the moment we arrived, spotlessly clean and the welcome goodies were fab! Everything you could possibly need and more, the attention to detail is fantastic. Will definitely return!

This property oozes quality.

I have to congratulate the owners, who have put a lot of thought, care and love into this house. As soon as you enter and are greeted with the beautiful gift hamper, you are put in the right frame of mind for a wonderful stay. I also need to praise the housekeeper....it was spotlessly clean throughout...thank you. The location is wonderful with footpaths just seconds from the end of the drive. If you cannot walk to the main streets and promenade, there are car parks close by. Thank you, I cannot fault the property in any way.

We felt privileged to stay in a lovely house in an amazing location.

Lovely little house with amazing views and perfect location, so nice that we wanted to book again for the same four nights next year but the price has gone up by approx £400, from just over £800 to just over £1200

Absolutely loved Marie’s cottage, beautiful views, brilliant location.

The building work next door is a little noisy and does tend to start at 8am in the morning, but we were aware of this at the time of booking. I would recommend Marie’s and would happily stay again in future.

Beautiful cottage loved our stay x

We've returned to Maries several times as it just suits us perfectly.

Its clean and comfortable with wonderful views and the position is perfect adjacent to the cliff walks and within easy distance to town and seafront. We also enjoy its peaceful location. I first stayed in Maries in approx 1966/7 when I was a child with my family, my mother knew the owner at that time. I was pleased to read the history in the information file. Although the alarm is not activated it sounded on the Monday morning. On speaking to the maintenance people and entering the code it emerged that the sounder box could have a fault and the maintenance people duly informed the alarm provider. . We were slightly concerned that the alarm would go off again during our duration but fortunately not. Do hope this problem has been rectified.
