Guests say
Guests have found the cottage in Lyme Regis to be a charming and cosy retreat with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and quality linens. The sunny patio and peaceful location are particularly appreciated, as well as the thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. Some concerns were raised about cleanliness and maintenance issues, but overall, the property offers a delightful stay close to local amenities and the beach.
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While one review highlighted it as the cleanest they've stayed in, another pointed out that the downstairs carpet needed cleaning, as it left socks black. This suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for being peaceful and central, away from traffic but close to the high street, beach, and local attractions. The provision of a parking permit is also appreciated.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with mentions of good quality linen and a cosy atmosphere. However, there were negative comments about the thickness of the pillows and steep stairs, which may affect some guests' comfort.
Facilities are mostly adequate, with a well-equipped kitchen and extra amenities for rainy days. However, there are reports of a low-power shower, a potentially faulty smoke alarm, and an oven that doesn't heat properly, indicating some maintenance is required.
The property owners have shown thoughtfulness by providing a welcome pack and considering facilities for wet days. However, as gifts like biscuits and milk are subject to change and not guaranteed, they should be seen as a bonus rather than an expectation.

One tip for future holidaymakers - the parking permit is in an A4 frame on the bookshelf - unload at the end of Sherborne Lane when you arrive, grab the frame and you can park for free in Woodmead Carpark up Hill Road. Splendid croissants and sourdough bread at the Town Mill Bakery !!

The location in the heart of Lyme is just perfect away from roads and traffic but with everything on your doorstep. The cottage is very cosy and with comfortable beds and good quality linens. Thereâs everything you need and a lovely sunny, south facing terrace. We hope to be able to stay here again in future!
