The location is highly praised for its views and proximity to Lyme Regis and the beach, with a scenic river walk adding to the appeal. However, some guests noted the walk back can be challenging due to steep paths.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, especially the beds and the spaciousness of the property. Some guests, however, felt that the lounge furniture could be more comfortable and that outdoor seating could be improved.

About this property
Nestling in picture-postcard gardens to the front and rear, is this attractive split-level bungalow, Oak Tree which is just a short distance from the picturesque seaside town of Lyme Regis in Dorset. The perfect holiday destination for families, Oak Tree ticks all the boxes; beautifully presented and spacious accommodation in a fantastic location. On entering the property, the inviting sitting room has extensive seating and a feature fireplace making it a lovely spot for gathering together and catching up on holiday tales. If it’s a sunny day then step outside onto the gorgeous patio area or if it looks like rain then you can still be outside but take cover under the delightful veranda; both spaces offer the opportunity to enjoy holiday time alfresco with friends, pets and loved ones. The kitchen is ideal for cooking up some fabulous food for the whole family and there is even a separate dining room with an opening onto the patio area. Imagine gathering around the table, serving up dinner and throwing open the door to the patio area and letting the light and Dorset air flood in. The bedrooms are all well-appointed with the king-size a particular feature boasting a superb balcony overlooking the gardens and Lyme Regis beyond. This is a simply splendid room to lay your weary heads at night and to wake up to in the morning with the additional double and twin also really welcoming. Even though Oak Tree enjoys a pleasantly secluded location it is still only a short walk into Lyme Regis where visitors are greeted by a gorgeous beach, harbour and causeway as well as a great selection of shops, galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants. It even has its own museum and aquarium. If you want to go a little further afield and take in some captivating views along the way then pay a visit to Charmouth with its Heritage Coast Centre, Seaton famous for its tramway and Beer known for its quarry caves. Take an adrenaline-fuelled rib ride from Lyme Regis, book a fishing trip or go golfing at Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club, or simply pack a picnic and head to the beach at Charmouth, West Bay, Chesil, Lulworth Cove and Weymouth, all enchanting locations for keen fossil hunters. Oak Tree is the ideal family holiday destination.
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!

Ample parking for two vehicles and the property itself is really homely, warm and comfortable and well equipped. A delightful owner too! Around 20 minute walk downhill by the River Lym into Lyme itself but parking in town for those preferring to drive. Lyme has everything- a glorious bay, spotless beach , shops and eateries - a perfect base from which to explore the stunning coastline or simply drop anchor and relax.

The house is ideal for our 3 generational group, the weather was lovely and we all had a relaxing stay. It is nice thar the owners are available for any questions. The only negative we had was that both the bins outside were overflowing and obviously had not been put out by previous guests as requested. There was also dogs mess in the garden.
