About this property
Anning Road Studio is a self-contained, all on one level, studio annex conveniently located in a residential road just five minute's level walk from the seafront, shops and other amenities in the unspoilt and delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis in West Dorset. Attached to the welcoming owners' home, the annex provides modern, good quality holiday accommodation for couples and comprises a bed/sitting room, a newly fitted shower room and a separate kitchen area. This is an ideal base for those who don't plan to be doing lots of cooking while on holiday particularly as the town includes celebrity chef Mark Hix's superb Oyster and Seafood Restaurant, along with many other restaurants, cafes, pubs and tearooms. The kitchenette has a two ring hob with small oven, toaster and kettle that will suit many guests preparing breakfasts and simple meals but serious cooks need to be aware of the limited options. The bed/sitting room includes a double bed and a two-seater sofa. Outside there is a sunny patio area with table and chairs and access to an allocated off-road parking space.
Lyme Regis itself is a truly fantastic place. Situated on the magnificent unesco Jurassic Coast, it's known as the pearl of Dorset and upon visiting, it's easy to see why. A famous spot for fossil hunters worldwide, it also sits on the South West Coast Path and offers a whole host of wonderful hikes and walks nearby.
Lyme Regis' sheltered south-facing beaches are safe for both children and water sport enthusiasts, with great fishing and leisure boat opportunities available from the Cobb harbour. It has a fantastic food and music scene and is often used as a prime filming location.
There are also vast amounts of festivals and events happening in the town throughout the year. Some of the bigger ones include the jazz and folk festivals, Food Rocks, Regatta & Carnival Week, Guitars on The Beach, and Lifeboat Week which offers a week of fun, games, music and displays for all the family. Of course, there are also loads of smaller events happening as well!
