Guests say
12 Mill Green is a well-regarded cottage in Lyme Regis, praised for its superb location, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches like a welcome bag. Guests appreciate the sun-trap garden, quality appliances, and the convenience of a parking space. While some minor maintenance issues were reported, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning return visits.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness. However, there were isolated incidents of a full bin and a dirty BBQ, which suggest room for improvement. The majority of guests did not raise cleanliness as an issue.
The location is consistently praised for being quiet yet within a short walk to the town centre and beach. The private parking is frequently mentioned as a significant benefit.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially highlighting the garden as a perfect spot for relaxation. Some guests mentioned thin pillows and small duvets, but these were minor points within overall positive feedback.
The property is well-equipped with high-quality furnishings and appliances. Some guests encountered issues with maintenance, such as loose toilet seats and a problematic key safe, but these were addressed promptly. The lack of a bannister was a concern for safety.
The property provides thoughtful touches like a welcome bag, games, and eco-friendly products. However, as gifts like the welcome bag are not consistently mentioned across reviews, it cannot be guaranteed for future guests.
About this property
A terraced grade II listed cottage situated in the heart of Lyme Regis, Dorset, this stunning property allows easy access to local facilities. Family-friendly and close to several notable beaches along the Jurassic Coast, 12 Mill Green will make the perfect base for your Dorset adventure.
A stunning historic cottage welcomes you on arrival into a stylish renovated space with crisp white décor with hints of grey and wood. Recline in the spacious sitting area in one of the sofas provided or the quirky window seat, as you enjoy a hot drink after your journey and plan your day, with a woodburning stove to warm your feet and wooden roofbeams reminding you that this historic property has been renovated with care and taste. When mealtimes call, find yourself in a tastefully outfitted kitchen with a hint of green through the wonderful furniture outfitting this space and adding a touch of opulence that will have you return time and again to enjoy a snack or a heart-warming meal served on the central dining table, and note how the marble-look tiles, décor and colour all complement the heritage and delicate features of this wonderful cottage. On the ground floor you will also find a bathroom offering a relaxing soak after a long day of exploring the town, before heading upstairs to recline in one of the two bedrooms, beginning with a spacious king-size room with wood panelling on the walls in keeping with the history of the cottage and offering ample storage, vintage furniture and a pop of colour from the striped carpet, and there is also a handy en-suite in contemporary style perfect for a quick refreshing shower before you head out to explore the coast, and a twin room with hints of cheery yellow makes the perfect space for children to snuggle down for the night. Outside there is a garden that you will simply find delightful, offering a private space to indulge in a book, a coffee and maybe some cake from a local bakery as you recline in the sunshine, noticing just how long this garden is, with a patio area, gravel, shrubs and a barbecue.
When the time comes to explore, you will be faced with ample opportunities to explore amazing history, animals, shops and shorelines, beginning with the local area itself, offering an abundance of cafes just waiting to bring you a hot meal, as well as restaurants offering a variety of cuisine and shops selling local craft and even fossils! Right on your doorstep you will find the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, only a short walk from the cottage where you can explore the prehistoric world preserved within the Jurassic Coast, or you can visit a second museum, Lyme Regis Museum, for more information on the history and heritage of Dorset. Beaches include the local Church Cliff Beach, and a little further afield the Lyme Regis beach and Fossil Beach offering a mixture of sandy shores and rocky cliffs. Make a memorable family holiday to Lyme Regis with a stay at the stunning 12 Mill Green.
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!
