Naunton Cottage

We very much enjoyed our stay in Naunton cottage and found the location convenient for all the amenities Lyme Regis has to offer.

The cottage is very well equipped with every thing you need and comfy beds. The welcome pack was very generous and the parking permit is a real bonus. We would like to return in the near future and thankyou for letting us stay in your lovely cottage. Rob and Pam.

Hello, We had another wonderful stay at Naunton cottage it was so relaxing, we’ve stayed with you twice this year and it just feels like a home from home so cosy and welcoming.

Thank you so much for the lovely welcome pack and all the special little extras it was thoroughly enjoyed. We hope to be seeing you next year have a wonderful Christmas and new year. Warm Regards Diane & Phil

Lovely cottage in a really great location.

Comfortable, well equipped, good shower, plenty of living space and storage.

We have been going to Lyme for years and stayed in lot’s of accommodation but I think Naunton cottage is one of my favourites, it had everything you needed and was cosy and comfortable a real home from home.

We would definitely recommend it to all our friends and family and we are looking forward to booking it again for October. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A previous review mentioned broken furniture.

We did not find this to be true. Everything was working and comfortable. The door handle broke and was fixed promptly. The bathroom was new and airy. The back garden was a beautiful oasis with benches - with cushions provided. Location excellent. Oven and microwave excellent.

The location is great, right in the centre of the town, and the beds and bedding were very comfortable.

The central heating was effective and the shower good. The cottage is clearly someone's personal holiday home that is let out, rather than solely a holiday property, and this means that there are a lot of personal items there (which gives it character), but it also means that it is not designed, equipped and managed in the way a dedicated holiday place might be. The sofa and armchairs are well used (and a bit broken!) and the kitchen and equipment are a bit haphazard. For example, there are 4 x stove top coffee percolators, 3 x cafetieres and 2 x large teapots but no jugs and 1 really small oven dish with no lid. There are 5 x steamer baskets, a fish scaler and a fish kettle, but no simple kitchen scales and only one small saucepan with a lid! The woodburning stove door doesn't shut properly so you can't keep a fire in without roaring it (and getting through a lot of fuel), which isn't helped by the fact that the grate had been cleaned out totally, so there was no ash base on which to burn wood - coal needs a clean base so it gets air underneath, but wood needs to burn on a bed of ash. We got through 3 bags of wood trying to get a decent base. Overall, it's a nice cottage and the quirks and omissions would be 'part of the charm' if it was your own place, or that of a friend or family, but we have had much better cottages at this price point.

Lovely cottage very conveniently located in the heart of Lyme Regis old town.

A cottage with character, but with the modern furnishings you'd expect such as a lovely walk-in shower and comfortable beds. A good base to explore Lyme Regis on foot from. Some nice touches like the welcome pack and even complimentary binoculars! Suggestions for improvement: As the cottage opens straight on to a street, a blind or net curtains would be useful at the lounge window as passers-by tend to gawp in. Also, the old cast iron garden furniture needs disposing of and replacing with a new garden set (with a cover to keep the seagull poo off) As we went at the height of the season Woodmead Car Park, that the parking permit is for, was always full but we managed to get a space the day after arrival (by getting up early doors and transferring the car from the long stay car park)

Uncomfortable.

The seat springs of the sofa and armchairs are broken so there was nowhere to sit together. The house is on a street that is very busy and noisy until late at night and this kept us up. Convenient location for the town centre and beach. Very expensive indeed for what you get and wouldn't recommend.

Naunton cottage needs a really thorough clean, every corner/ under furniture/ moving a dining chair from under the table revealed dirt and dust.

It hasn’t had a thorough clean in a long time. The front entrance smells strongly of urine despite me cleaning it several times. The paint in the bathroom continually rains a fine dust of white paint over everything- you have to see it to believe it - but I’m sure you are already aware. It was constantly covering towels, and clothing we were drying on the towel warmer and toiletries. Inhaling fine paint is hazardous to health and not something I was happy about exposing my two children to. Finally only two chairs for outside despite being a family of four. I tried to complain during our stay, only to be pointed to Sykes after our stay ended. I have asked for a partial refund I feel so strongly about the condition of the property. We will be holidaying again in the area but at this point it’s unlikely to be with Lyme Bay / Sykes as no one as yet, has acknowledged the situation.

A fantastic house in THE most incredible Lyme location - close to everything you need for the full seaside experience.

Thank you!

Everything catered for, we had a lovely visit in this cottage-felt like ‘home’. Wonderfully organised and very atmospheric, thank you.

Superb.

Clean, comfortable and homely, close to seafront, gardens and other facilities. We booked the cottage for a few days away for my mother, my sister and I: we had a lovely time. Downstairs cloakroom was helpful so elderly mother did not have to go up and down stairs too often.

Really enjoyable comfortable house with everything you possibly need.

Great facilities. Everything thought of, even the little things that you forget to take. Fantastic location. Beds very comfortable. House clean and tidy. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

We love Lyme and always wanted to stay close to the centre; location of No 42 is perfect.

Lovely atmosphere to the house. Well equipped. Nice to have a courtyard where we ate on a couple of occasions.

Perfect weekend break.

The cottage was in a central location right in the heart of Lyme Regis. It was very comfortable and well equipped. The little court yard garden was beautiful and a perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea.
