Description
Enjoying an idyllic rural location in the picturesque village of Uplyme near Lyme Regis in the heart of Dorset, is this attractive single-storey bungalow, Mount View.
Perfect for families, the bungalow rests in magnificent, enclosed gardens which are the ideal spot for spending time alfresco; children and pets can run around safely while adults can chill out and relax in peace so everyone is a winner!
If the weather allows, then why not fire up the barbecue?
Moving inside, the property is just as inviting with a light and airy sitting room welcoming guests with an extensive seating area and beautiful views from the large windows.
The small but perfectly formed rustic-style kitchen is well equipped for everything you need to cook for the family and the dining area is a great space for gathering together and catching up with holiday news.
You can imagine spending many a happy hour here enjoying quality time together with your holiday party.
All that fresh air is bound to tire you out so when evening comes guests can choose from any of three fabulously presented bedrooms, a king-size, a double or a twin; all offer a calming sanctuary to lay your weary heads and to wake up to in the morning.
After a hearty breakfast (fingers crossed outside!), it’s time to plan the day’s activities and there is so much to choose from it can be hard to know where to start.
Uplyme itself is a beautifully tranquil village and forms part of the region’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty so there are loads of delightful, scenic walks to enjoy nearby.
Lyme Regis is really close too and offers a wealth of amenities including shops, eateries, a museum, aquarium, beach, harbour and causeway.
Jump in the car for a scenic drive to any one of a number of great family attractions including Pecorama, the Jurassic Fun Centre, Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Beer Quarry Caves, Dinosaurland Fossil Museum and Seaton Tramway.
For an enjoyable family holiday to remember, Mount View delivers.

What guests are saying
Comfortable property, with a wonderful view across the valley.
We stayed with 2 adults and 2 teens. There was plenty of space for each other on a rainy day. Bathroom is a little cramped and dated and may not be to everyone's needs but was adequate for us. Beds and settees very comfortable. Property was clean. I would stay here again.
A lovely little property very nicely located at the top of the pleasant 20 minute walk into Lyme itself down the Lym valley.
Don't expect too much in terms of space and facilities, but I think that's clear from the listing already. The tv is very basic, just freeview - we actually quite enjoyed a break from netflix, but thought that was worth mentioning. Our family of four found this a really nice little base for a few days stay. I can highly recommend a walk into town for beer and pizza at the Fox and Owl celler :)
We have just returned from 3 nights staying at Mount View (July 2026), during the heatwave.
I have to say that the bungalow was an oasis in this heat. Opening all the windows, the bungalow cooled down quickly, making it a very pleasant temperature. At night the bedrooms were cool, which made sleeping easy. The bungalow was clean and well equipped, but rather jaded. The garden was maintained and the grass cut. I would say that it is not a bungalow suitable to the infirm or disabled due to the rather different levels in the garden and the rough pathway around the property and driveway, which was concrete that has broken down over time. The garden is secure, but only for larger dogs, smaller dogs potentially could get out underneath the driveway gates. Also, the lawns are steeply sloped which would make clearing up after your dog quite challenging. I would also say, not suitable for children under the age of 6. The property is accessed via a lane which is narrow. We missed it on our first pass as there was a van waiting to exit the lane, and therefore we did not see the road sign, as it was hidden by the van. The lane cannot be accessed when a vehicle is already there. The property is a short distance up the lane from the main road on the right-hand side. It is essential that you reverse into the driveway – this will take a couple of tries, due to angles and lay of the land. Once done, you will be able to shut the gates. Our car is a Kia Stonic, and we were able to park on the driveway and shut the gates, but I am not sure that this would be possible if one owned a large SUV. It is imperative that you reverse as it makes it easier to exit the driveway safely as there is a total blind spot when looking right up the lane. The property would benefit from a large smart TV and also, access to the various channels eg Netflix. This would allow people to log in to their own account. Games, books, jigsaws and DVD’s were provided, which was a thoughtful touch. Bedding and towels were provided and were extremely clean. A patio set and chairs were provided as well as a rotary washing line. The kitchen was basic, with an old stand-alone gas cooker. It would be helpful if there was an empty cupboard that we could store food in. Sadly, there was not – I have found this to be the case with every property that we have stayed in. The owners equip the properties well, but forget that everyone brings food etc with them – living out of carrier bags is not brilliant. This is not a criticism, but a suggestion for the future. We enjoyed our stay there, as it suited our needs and was very close to Lyme Regis.
