Affectionately known as the ‘Pearl of Dorset’, staying at one of these Lyme Regis holiday cottages will put you right on the doorstep of this seaside town’s golden beaches. Located on the Devon-Dorset border, one of these Lyme Regis cottages can make for the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle.
Why Lyme Regis Holiday Cottages?
This collection of holiday cottages in Lyme Regis will put you at the heart of this historic seaside town and everything it has to offer for tourists. The most popular attractions in the town are its Front Beach and Sandy Beach, both of which stretch across the town’s coastline and make for great places to spend the day by the seaside.
Situated right in the middle of the town’s two beaches is the wonderful Langmoor and Lister Gardens, a lovely park where you can enjoy the amazing views of the sea whilst exploring its colourful flowerbeds. Further south along the town’s coastline you’ll find The Cobb, Lyme Regis’ historic harbour, from which you can embark on a thrilling rib ride or a relaxing fishing trip out on the open waters of Lyme Bay. The Cobb is also home to the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, a brilliant indoor attraction that’s home to a host of local sea life split across two rooms.
On the other hand, if you head into the town itself, you’ll also find plenty of things to see and do such as the Lyme Regis Museum, The Town Mill and the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, all of which can be easily reached from one of these Lyme Regis cottages to rent.
