Description
Colombo Cottage is a beautifully-presented barn conversion surrounded by fields and woodland on the outskirts of the picturesque seaside town of Lyme Regis, Dorset. All imaginatively named after famous detectives, this cottage is one of five cottages situated within delightful and well-kept grounds with a large pond, a wishing well, and plenty of quiet spots to sit and enjoy a picnic. Perfect for couples or a family, this is a wonderful abode boasting two bedrooms, proximity to countless day trips, and a tranquil location for those looking to enjoy all that this stunning stretch of Jurassic Coast has to offer.
The open-plan living area is an impressive space with ceiling beams and many thoughtful touches. Tastefully and comfortably furnished throughout, this is a wonderfully sociable space where you can truly kick back and relax. The fitted kitchen is equipped with everything needed for rustling up meals to be shared around the dining table. Immediately outside, an enclosed paved seating area provides the perfect spot to enjoy alfresco meals or share a bottle of wine looking out over the communal grounds to the countryside beyond. When it’s time to sleep head upstairs to find the two bedrooms, a double and a twin, with the family bathroom also located on this floor.
The centre of Lyme Regis with family-friendly beaches, famous Cobb Harbour, and other popular visitor attractions is a mile walk away although a regular local bus service also runs to and from the town stopping at the end of the drive to the cottages. The town boasts a great selection of independent shops perfect for stocking up on the day-to-day essentials. Food lovers will delight in the excellent choice of restaurants whether you fancy fine dining, local seafood, or just enjoying a bite to eat with a sea view, there is something for everyone. The seafront, with its sandy beach, is perfect for those looking to enjoy a traditional seaside holiday with water sports such as paddle boarding and boat trips available and for those wanting to get out on the water. In an area renowned for fossils, the Heritage Coast Centre at Charmouth is a great place to learn about the area's diverse geological history and pick up tips about fossil hunting on the shores. An area popular with walkers, the South West Coastal Path rewards walkers with stunning coastal views and takes in pretty seaside locations such as Eype and Seatown. Other popular days out include the pretty fishing village of Beer with its limestone cliffs and beach, where it is easy to lose a few hours sitting in a deckchair watching the local fishermen hauling their catches ashore.
Colombo Cottage is the perfect choice for those looking for a memorable holiday in this picturesque part of Dorset.

What guests are saying
A lovely cottage perfect for a relaxing holiday.
Beautifully clean and well cared for.
We enjoyed our week in Colombo Cottage.
Although one of a line of cottages it didn't feel overlooked and had its own small terrace at the front as well as use of a very large communal garden. There are a number of parking spaces and there was always at least one free as well as room to park elsewhere if they had been full. The cottage is in a beautiful quiet rural location yet only about a mile from Lyme Regis which can easily be reached on foot down through two fields and along some paths. It is approached down a lane of about a quarter of a mile with few passing places but we only had to reverse once. The entrance to the lane is right opposite the Lyme Regis Park & Ride on the Charmouth road but the P&R wasn't operating when we stayed there (dates it is operating can be found online). The entrance to the lane was somewhat difficult to find first time round because the directions are out of date and there is no sign (so it's best to use the P&R as a reference point). The cottage was clean, reasonably well-appointed and comfortable; the only slight negative was that the main bedroom is a bit small and with a velux window so got a bit stuffy in the heatwave even with the door open. A floor fan might help to move air around so would be a welcome addition. But overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if we were to stay in the area.
Need better signage to lane that leads down to cottage such as opposite park and ride not foot golf which no longer exists
