Mrs Morgan-Jones
One of the loveliest holiday properties we have stayed at. Finished and furnished to an extremely high standard. The location is excellent, just minutes from the shops and cafes in Lyme Regis. We were a little concerned about unloading given the lack of dedicated parking space, but needn’t have been as it was easy to park in the library car park directly opposite. Whilst parking here is capped at 1 hour, this was ample time to unload (and reload upon departure) and it was literally steps from the front door.

We took our family on a fairly last minute trip to Lyme Regis in particular for some fossil hunting along the Jurassic coast. Selkie fitted our needs perfectly. It was comfortable, cosy, very clean with some lovely touches to the property and provided all our necessary needs. It was close to amenities we were able to explore everything we wanted from where it was positioned. We were concerned about parking, but didn’t struggle to find any and were able to unload outside just fine. The information provided about the area was most useful, internet connection was good and the hamper provided was just perfect. We’d definitely stay again.
