Guests say

The property's recent bathroom refurbishment and on-site parking are highly appreciated. The welcome hamper adds a thoughtful touch, making guests feel at home. While some minor maintenance issues and a single instance of noise disturbance were mentioned, the overall sentiment is extremely positive, with many guests intending to return.
Reviews frequently highlight the property's cleanliness, with guests describing it as 'very clean and comfortable' and 'pristine', suggesting a high standard of hygiene and upkeep.
The property's location is repeatedly commended for being perfect for accessing both the town and beach, with the added convenience of a parking spot and proximity to electric car chargers.
Guests find the apartment comfortable and spacious enough for families, including teenagers, and appreciate the homely touches. The presence of Wi-Fi and the property's quietness contribute to the comfort, despite a single mention of a 'wet dog' smell.
The facilities are generally well-received, especially the newly renovated bathroom. However, some feedback suggests room for improvement in maintenance and user-friendliness of heating controls, which slightly lowers the score.
The welcome hamper is mentioned positively in several reviews, indicating a level of thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, this score reflects the overall sentiment without setting expectations for future guests.
About this property
A magnificent castle like structure towering above the quaint towns of Lyme Regis, Dorset, 1 Coram Tower offers a stunning ground-floor apartment in the grade II listed building originally built by the sea captain Thomas Coram. This amazing apartment is perfect for families who love a peak at history, as well as a splendid stay beside the bay.
Upon arrival, you will be delighted by the intriguing structure of this building, with palm trees shrouding the base of this tower, noting the traditional style and architecture that makes this historical building stand out from its neighbouring properties. After receiving a welcome hamper upon arrival, you will be keen to explore the apartment, finding yourself in a stylish sitting room with huge windows drawing in the light from the bay and allowing optimum views of the surrounding town, noting how the white leather sofas encourage you to recline and splashes of blue in the décor remind you that you are right beside the stunning Dorset coast, and right beside the window you will find a glass dining table and window bench, perfect for a heart-warming breakfast. Paintings and photographs line the white walls, giving this property a homely feel, and a contemporary kitchen will delight any budding chef. A super-king size bed in the main bedroom is the perfect place to snuggle down for the night, enjoying the last of the sun through the window at the foot of the bed and there is a twin room with storage, perfect for children, as well as a shower room.
With such a beautiful historic building, it would be a shame not to visit some of the local sites of interest, including walks around the incredible Cannington Viaduct, Blackbury Camp and Maiden Castle or explore the history of the local area at Lyme Regis Museum. When in need of a cup of tea and home-made cake, head into the local town where you will be able to find a variety of eateries, as well as shops selling craft and artwork. You can’t come to Dorset and not take a walk along the Jurassic coastline, where you can indulge in sea views and may be lucky enough to find a fossil. Indulge in the history of Dorset with a stay at 1 Coram Tower.
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!

Been to Lyme many times over the years so know the area is beautiful and this accommodation was comparable with the best weâve ever stayed in. Well equipped, nice and quiet, great to have our own front door and decent parking. Would definitely recommend and would return.
