Guests say

The Hut in Lyme Regis is a charming cottage with stunning sea views, appreciated for its proximity to the beach and local amenities. Guests find it cosy and well-equipped, ideal for family stays and fossil hunting adventures. While some guests encountered issues with parking and neighbourly interactions, the property's location and the sound of waves at night seem to be a highlight for many.

Most guests report The Hut as very clean, with one guest highlighting it as the cleanest accommodation during their trip. However, a few instances of overlooked cleaning details, such as a found toenail and dirty dishes, slightly mar the overall impression.

The location is highly praised for its stunning sea views and proximity to the beach and town amenities. It's considered perfect for families and offers easy access to local attractions. Parking issues were mentioned, but these do not detract significantly from the prime location.

Guests find The Hut cosy and generally comfortable, with some noting the property as spacious and well-appointed. However, there are remarks about an uncomfortable main bed and noise from neighbours, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

The Hut is equipped with necessary amenities and is appreciated for thoughtful touches like a well-stocked kitchen and bookshelves. Some maintenance issues were noted, such as a fickle kettle switch and a wet floor, indicating that while facilities are good, there is scope for better upkeep.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful gestures that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, this score is set to null.

About this property

Enjoying a superb setting overlooking delightful Monmouth beach within a short walk of Lyme Regis town centre in the heart of Dorset, is this quaint holiday chalet, The Hut. Perfect for a small family on holiday, the accommodation might be small, but it delivers big on charm and character. It’s hard to believe what has been packed into such a small space and the tardis-like accommodation begins with a delightful sitting room with big windows looking right out over the beach, making it the ideal area for chilling out and taking in some stunning sea views. You can imagine on a warm, summer’s evening throwing open the door and breathing in the sea air while chilling out and ruminating on a day of holiday adventures. A small but perfectly formed kitchen has everything needed to prepare a delicious meal for your party and a clever dining area has been created in the compact space; a wonderful spot in which to enjoy good food and company. As bedtime calls, the grown-ups have a delightful double bedroom while the kids get cool bunk beds; both bedrooms offering an idyllic sanctuary for its visitors. Waking up in the morning is a delight at The Hut with the beach at Monmouth literally just a few minutes’ away and the amenities of Lyme Regis a short walk. Here you will find a good selection of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants as well as a museum, an aquarium, a harbour, a causeway and of course, a beautiful sandy beach. Hop in the car for a scenic drive to any one of a number of attractions nearby which include Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, Seaton Tramway, Tunnel Tree Tops high ropes and zip wire and Forde Abbey and Gardens and other beaches worth visiting in the area include Charmouth, Chesil, Branscombe and Seatown. The Hut is a small holiday chalet which delivers big time.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

    There was coffee spilt dried onto the coffee table, a used dirty tray in the oven, finger marks all up the inside of the windows both front and back.and worst of all the dinner plates had been put back in the cupboard dirty☹️

    The location is great with superb views and morning sunshine. We found The Hut to be in general good state of repair with all basic needs met. The only negative we can provide, my daughter found a toe nail in her bunk bed…it wasn’t hers…but what’s a toe nail between friends? Would I recommend? Yes and enjoy

    The switch on the kettle seemed a little fickle otherwise everything we used worked OK. The cold tap over the kitchen sink feels like it needs a little tlc. The hoover filter was very dirty/blocked but seemed to suck alright. We missed the stable door functionality. The verge opposite has not been strimmed for a while. The gate onto the access road was unlockable for the duration of our stay, initially because the anchor post had been damaged and after it was repaired because the magnet and plate didn't line up correctly. The bins are now all unlocked (hurrah) but it is a pain having to drag a weeks worth of rubbish from the chalet, if there were more purple bags we could take smaller loads. The smart meter remote display says it needs a new battery. Hopefully we can still afford a week next year because Lyme is our happy place.
